First Light of a New Age

VROOM!

Out of nowhere, two people suddenly appeared in the middle of a white room and a red room. One was a tall man with butler-like clothing and a blank white mask, and the second person he carried was a certain kitsune he had to save.

Yes... that is Scyllary.

Before she and the Hydra were being completely vaporized by the extremely compressed nuclear explosion that will definitely obliterate 2nd-tier transcendents, her guard was able to take her soul out of the Beast and teleported out, leaving the hydra as it gets completely disintegrated instead.

As for Scyllary, her soul is saved by her guard, who surprisingly also made a new body for her.

"Haa... haaa..."

Scyllary nearly vomited as she felt herself get pulled away from the horror and then being shoved into a new body, which is a very strange experience.

'T-this place is...!'

The moment she looked at her surroundings, she recognized it well as her dining area.

Why would her guard teleport her to a dining area instead of the Safehouse?

'No... not even that. I didn't even know he could use Spatial and Soul Manipulation Magic.' Scyllary's thoughts flowed.

"Haaa..." She tried to speak, but only heavy breaths came out.

She felt very nauseous, and her new body was still trembling from the leftover fear that the man in black had "inflicted" on her.

Right now, it didn't matter that her guard could use Spatial or Soul Magic without her knowledge.

Only one thing was of concern to her.

"C-can you beat him? That monster in the form of a man... can you win against him?"

"Hmmm..."

The guard placed his hand on his chin, located directly behind his white mask. He seemed to be thinking very deeply about it, which gave Scyllary some glimmer of hope that it wasn't too absurd.

'I-if he can win... or even if they're even, then it's possible that I can escape while he tries to hold him back!'

"It's a possibility."

"Huh?"

"Me winning against him... it's a possibility."

Scyllary's anxious face transformed entirely the moment she heard this bit of good news.

"Then stop him! Fight him off while I escape!"

Once again, the guard rubbed his chin for a few seconds.

'What's there to think about? I'm your Master!' Scyllary wanted to scream, but she patiently waited.

"No."

Her eyes widened as soon as she heard that response.

"What did you just-?!"

"[Command Code: Kneel]." Words flowed from his lips, and the next moment, Scyllary felt her body descend.

'E-eh...?!'

Her eyes began to widen as she found her body unable to move in the slightest. She merely powerlessly knelt before the man who was supposed to be her guard! Her slave!

"W-what is the meaning of this? What's going on? Guard, tell me! You just saved my life and soul, why are you doing this!?"

Her question fell on deaf ears. Not only did the guard not answer her question, but he didn't seem to be paying any mind to her.
