The structures of the castle cracked and split apart as large pieces of rubble collapsed from the ceiling.
The Nymph reacted quickly, and immediately a web of vines grew above us to catch the rubble and hold the destroyed walls together.
"They're here," the Nymph said in a cold voice, her emerald eyes piercing like a predator.
It was as if she had turned into a different person, and it was honestly terrifying to see an S-ranked monster like this. It was like when you piss off a mother bird by going near its chicks.
"Don't worry, okay. I'll protect our home." She chirped, her sweet tone returning for just a moment as she gently placed me down on the ground.
Before I could protest, she was already gone, moving so fast that it seemed as if she had teleported. The only trace of her presence left behind was a strong gust of wind along with a flowery scent.
For now, I had to let her be. If I followed her, then I would only be getting in the way, which could cause her to get killed.
