"LET GO OF MY YOUNG MASTER!!"

The temperature inside the cold cave started warming up, and Raphael began to sweat. Wolf emitted a heatwave from his body, and he already dropped his dagger. Like a flame wolf, his nails were blazing with fire, and he made a set of flame nails hot enough to melt steel.

He snarled, ready to attack Raphael.

[Ok, this is some cool Werewolf shit, yo! Wolf is so cool! Go, my wolf knight, attack that handsome angel!]

[Pupa: That handsome angel is going to be your husband in the future.]

[Aish, it's called sparring. Raphael and Wolf are both eight years old. It's just some kids' play. Of course, they won't die just because of some small sparring~]

Pupa watched how Wolf was ready to lunge at Raphael while Raphael frowned and started chanting defensive spells. 

[Pupa: I'm not too sure about the kids' play part.]

Raphael started chanting serious defense holy spell, "Oh my celestial being, grand your Saint the power to protect himself from evil—Holy Circle!"

"RAARGH!" Wolf lunged towards Raphael with a primitive but extremely agile move. He was about to claw Raphael's face when the Holy circle was activated, and Wolf was smitten by the light. 

He was blown away, and his body slammed against the cave wall.

"WOLF!" Little Jean saw that Wolf was writhing in pain, but he still gritted his teeth and readied his stance again. He snarled for the second time and then lunged like before. 

But this time, Raphael noticed that Wolf's agility had gotten better and better as he continued attacking twice, three times, four times. 

Raphael frowned after the fourth time. He was already sweating due to the heat emitted from Wolf's body. He also started losing his momentum due to exhaustion. And for some reason, the Holy circle was unable to completely defend him. Wolf was able to endure the pain and almost scratched his face if he didn't back down. 

He had to admit that Wolf's perseverance to save Little Jean was amazing. 

Wolf was already beaten to a pulp. His body was bloody all over, creating a grotesque image for an eight-year-old boy. Although Wolf didn't seem to mind all the pain as long as he could save Young Master.

Raphael didn't want to trust Little Jean to this Wolf boy. He was afraid that Wolf boy might've lost control and attacked his beloved Little Jean. 

"Jean, let's go from here. That kid is quite dangerous. I can't guarantee to protect you at this point. I'm not powerful enough. I'm still in training," Raphael said. 

He chanted a teleportation spell, and his index glowed with yellow light. With one touch, he could teleport Little Jean back to the Palace of Eau Saumont. 

Wolf staggered after he got slammed for the fourth time. But he still persevered, ready to attack for the fifth time. 

[Okay, this is too much already. It's not fun!]

[Pupa: It's never fun in the first place.]

Little Jean shook his head desperately, refused to be teleported back, and when he looked at Wolf, who was so desperate. Little Jean screamed, "JEAN HATES FIGHTING! DON'T FIGHT!!"

Both Wolf and Raphael were surprised, and they got even more surprised when a light came out of Jean's body and the glass ball that trapped his body suddenly break. 

Little Jean jumped out of the glass. With his glowing body, he ran towards Wolf.

"Jean, no! It's dangerous!" Raphael warned. But Little Jean continued running and then hugged Wolf, whose body was bloodied and wounded so badly. 

Jean circled his hand on Wolf's neck and started crying, "Wuwuwuwu, please don't fight. Jean is sad. Jean is scared when Angel and Wolf fight… wuwuwu…."

Both Raphael and Wolf kept staring at Little Jean. A miracle happened when Little Jean's shining body got brighter and brighter until it was enough to light the whole cave.

Little Jean's light restored everything inside the cave, including Wolf's wounds and Raphael's exhaustion. All of them turned normal. Even the cracked wall was restored thanks to Little Jean's power.

Both Raphael and Wolf found out that they could not use their power after getting engulfed by Little Jean's light. Wolf's flaming body was extinguished, and Raphael's holy sign on his hands dimmed for a moment, signifying that he shouldn't fight. 

"Please don't fight… wu…." Little Jean whimpered and cried for a while, and after the restoration had completed, Little Jean fainted on Wolf's embrace. 

"Jean!" Raphael teleported right behind Little Jean and grabbed his collar. Wolf immediately wrapped Little Jean in his arms and glared at Raphael.

"Young Master… mine," Wolf said. 

Raphael knew this Wolf boy had a speech development problem, but his intention was clear, that he didn't want to let go of Little Jean. 

Raphael gritted his teeth, he tried to use his Holy magic, but for some reason, he couldn't activate any offensive spell.

Wolf knew that he had the upper hand compared to Raphael since he still had his physical strength. He got up, still with Little Jean in his arm. He quickly took his dagger and pointed it at Raphael, who could only stand still like a statue. 

Because Raphael had to admit that he was at a disadvantage right now. 

"Young Master… mine…." Wolf took few steps back out of the cave, and then he ran with Little Jean on his arm. Raphael tried to catch them, but that Wolf boy was so quick in his feet, he had no chance.

Raphael's gaze deepened. He didn't expect that Little Jean would have another admirer other than him and Archduke Maximillien. 

"I still have to return to Jean's Big brother to inform him about this. At least, now that Little Jean has activated his Butterly hairpin, I can point his location easily."

Still, he didn't understand what kind of magic did Little Jean had. He thought it was similar to copy magic. That's why he could easily copy his Holy magic.

But it seemed to be something else, that copy magic might've been one of Jean's power.

…

"Jean…" 

Raphael clenched his fist and teleported to Maximillien's location right now.
