A jet-black wolf stood there in shock.
『I can’t believe that he’s able to fight on an equal footing with that monster…… It seems that it’s not just boasting after all……』
Lunagarm is the one who reigns as the lord of the south of the Demon Forest. But even for her, it seemed impossible to intervene in the battle between the two. Her eyes are already busy following the movements of the Fenrir, who boasts a gigantic body. As for Reus, who is small in size, she did not even know where he is.
Every time the two collide, a terrific roar resounds, and the shockwave deflects the surrounding giant trees. In order not to get caught up in the fight, she repeatedly retreated and distanced herself.
『I didn’t expect that baby to grow so much in such a short period of time….. No, the body hasn’t grown much…… Just what exactly is that baby, really? 』
Even though he has the support of a powerful weapon, Lunagarm is convinced that he has long since surpassed herself.
『I’ve come across a ridiculous baby huh……』
『Moreover, he adores me like his real mother and turned me into a summoned beast without permission, to be honest, it is very annoying. Still, for some reason, I couldn’t bring myself to hate him.』
『…… Don’t give up, Reus. 』
Lunagarm sends a small cheer.
Perhaps her words reached him, the Fenrir’s movement eventually stopped.

“~~~~! ~~~~!”
The Fenrir panicked by the sudden immobilization. Black chains were entangled around its huge body.
“It’s no use trying to tear them off.”
“~~~~!”
Well, it took time for me to slowly entangle the chains all over its body. It was quite a struggle as it kept moving around. Of course, I had to be extra careful as I didn’t want to get caught along the way.
『As expected of Master. I can’t believe you were maneuvering like this while fighting.』
(If we fought properly, I would be obviously at a disadvantage. I was aiming for this from the start.)
The chains are connected to the ground, so it can’t escape from the spot. Even a Fenrir is a rat in a trap at this point.
“Grrrrrr!”
“Sleep quietly for the time being.”
“Grrrr…… Grr…… rrr……”
I forced it to sleep with sleep magic. Partly because of its fervour, it was able to endure for a few minutes. But eventually, it had reached its limit and the Fenrir collapsed on the spot.
『Did you defeat him?』
『Oh, Kaachan. Yes, as you can see, I managed it somehow.』
『I didn’t think you’d actually defeat such a monster……』
『It’s all thanks to tricking it. 』
『So, what are you going to do with it? 』
—Kaa-chan looked at me with eyes that say that if I’m to give the final blow, she’ll help me. I shook my head in return.
『Let’s wait and see. I want to find out why a Fenrir is in this state. 』
It clearly didn’t seem normal. Lindwurm added,
『From the looks of it, it is in a madness state. 』
(Yes, that sounds likely.)
Madness. To put it simply, it is in a state where it loses sanity, but the causes for it varies. However, since it is a type of status ailment, it can be healed by healing magic. I used Extra Heal on the sleeping Fenrir. A healing light then envelops the Fenrir’s entire body.
(I wonder if that worked?)
『Possibly? Why don’t Master try to wake it up? 』
I used awakening magic on it. The Fenrir shook its massive body. Then it slowly opened its eyelids. In its eyes, I could see what seemed to be a light of reason that is not there before.
『What on earth……? Huh? This is….…』
The Fenrir felt puzzled when it realized that it can’t move.
『Don’t you remember? You were in a madness state and did a rampage. 』
『A human baby? You did these chains around me? Mmmm…. now that you’ve mentioned that, I do have a faint memory…….』
It can understand the story properly. It seems that it has regained its senses.
