Ugh, meat. Such a thing has never sullied her hands before. But for her dearest Sage, even Violet will slaughter a beast and drive her pristine hands into its carcass to handpick the finest, most tender cut.
Sage will have to be patient just a little while, with Violet leaving a pat upon her head before leaving to gather the ingredients.
The first step was to send Xiao Guang off on her own to hunt down a prime looking bull. While she took acre of the hunting and slaughtering, Violet headed to a nearby fruit grove.
โNow then, you delightful fruits, come to life and do as I please. [Creation].โ
Violetโs beloved scepter, the [Eternal Scepter of the Worldโs Heart] possessed a number of powerful effects, one of which was the ability to give true life to inanimate objects. She had done such a thing before back in the capitol of the United Human Kingdom, when she brought an apple to life to guide her through a hedge maze.
This time, she granted true life to a strawberry and a raspberry.
โNow you two little precious morsels, go out and find me the freshest, ripest of your brethren and lead me to them. Oh and if you spot any beehives along the way, do let me know.โ
She brought a few other ingredients to life and had them similarly point her in the direction of their freshest kin. It took a bit of time but with the ingredients in her arms and a satisfied dragon hauling half a bull carcass along, the middle half to be precise.
Returning to Sageโs home, the priestess rolled up her sleeves and got to work.
โJust a bit longer now, Sage, I promise!โ
Violet called out from the kitchen as the aroma of cooking tenderloin and fresh produce wafted around the waiting woman to tantalize her senses. Fortunately the actual food followed soon after before the aroma became unbearably teasing.
โHere you are~. A baby spinach and arugula salad with sliced strawberries and whole raspberries, complimented by candied pecans, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled goat cheese, drizzled with a freshly made honey vinaigrette. And of course I didnโt forget your steak. Itโs a six ounce tenderloin from a freshly slaughtered bull, seared in goat butter, and topped with caramelized sweet onion and mushroom. Bon appetite~โ

There is a stir within the headquarters of the defense force within the Mato world, the barren landscape whereupon fruits that can grant powers grow.
โCommander Yamashiro, weโve confirmed an unidentified presence within Mato. A routine patrol from one of the Units reported the sighting but they did not move to engage, as the unknown presence has attracted far too many Shuuki for the patrol to handle alone.โ
Report given, the one who gave it falls silent and awaits the Commanderโs thoughts and orders.

โOh my. It seems Iโve transmigrated again. If only I could investigate the source of this occurrence and figure out why and how itโs happening to meโฆ thatโll have to wait until later. It seems no world is without its monsters to slay.โ
A petite woman in fantasy style dress raised her hand, conjuring an ornate staff from the air itself. Long raven hair dances whimsically as winds whip around her lithe figure, foreign power rising. A number of corpses freshly felled disintegrated into dark misama, dissipating into the air, while others moved to occupy the place of the fallen.
โOrdinarily a support class like me shouldnโt do the fighting but for little pests like you, itโs hardly what I could call a battle. Still, there are quite a number of you lot. I suppose even a horde of ants calls for greater extermination than being squashed.โ
A nearby monster pulled its fist back and punched the fragile looking girl. But its fist stopped upon coming into contact with her, the force of the blow only kicking up sand.
โ[Lightโs Protection]. Itโs a barrier spell, you see. Although perhaps my equipmentโs defense stat wouldโve been enough to mitigate the damage, but better to be safe than sorry. Oh, you probably donโt understand what Iโm say but does it really matter when youโre going to die?
[Seal, Multi Target].โ
Fueling the 5th tier spell with her mana, Violet expanded the movement sealing spellโs number of applicable targets. A few dozen Shuuki surrounding the priestess were locked in place.
โNow, [Roar of the Holy Flame].โ
Raising her staff higher, flames of red and gold poured from the upper design. Long serpent like streams of fire coiled and twisted in the air, engulfing the immobilized Shuuki, eradicating them within seconds.
Perhaps sensing the power of the girl they could not beat with numbers, the remaining Shuuki began to form together into one gigantic version. The priestess seemed to be undisturbed by this fusion.
โOh? So you can fuse together to create a stronger version. Thatโs quite interesting. Iโve never seen grunt monsters possess that ability before. Unfortunately all youโve done is give me a bigger target to play with. A 30s level monster simply isnโt enough no matter how big you are.โ
