Chapter 29 Magic Bestowal Activate!
The battlefield unfolded like a wild, untamed tapestry of teeth, fur, and flashing claws. Argider had never seen anything like it—let alone imagined she'd ever witness such a sight.
Ferocious animals of every kind were pouring in from every direction, each one seeming to revel in the chaos, each with eyes gleaming with an eerie, animalistic intelligence that suggested they were here for more than just a scuffle.
Dire wolves prowled forward, fangs bared, each one sporting teeth so long they could double as ceremonial daggers. Tigers moved with a sleek, lethal grace, their muscles flexing under striped coats as they coiled and pounced.
Foxes darted and weaved with quick, nimble attacks, slipping in and out of sight like living shadows. And the lions—oh, the lions—they stalked in with an air of disdainful regality, like they'd come to settle some deeply personal score against anyone who dared look unimpressed.
The soldiers barely had time to gather themselves before the first of the beasts lunged. A particularly massive fox leapt toward an unlucky guard, who let out a shriek that likely would have alerted the next kingdom over if only they'd had the time to listen.

"?!"
Argider's heart pounded, her mind racing faster than her feet as she bolted through the chaos, dodging snapping jaws and swiping claws with a series of half-stumbles and wild flails.
"Your Majesty?" she asked, looking rather flustered herself. Argider felt her cheeks flush as she realized exactly where her hand had landed: right in the middle of this knight's...well, let's call it her "honor-bound bosom."
"Magic Bestowal, Activate!" Argider shouted, attempting to salvage the moment with some semblance of dignity. She placed her hand against the knight, accidentally pressing it a bit firmer against her chest.
Oh, perfect.
Argider's reputation was crumbling faster than a wet piece of parchment, but there was no time for formal apologies now. "It's not what it looks like!" she muttered through gritted teeth, though the frowns on the surrounding soldiers suggested they weren't so sure.

— [You Have Unlocked The Natural Talent Of The User!]
Then, suddenly, the knight gasped, her body enveloped in a brilliant, blinding light. Argider blinked, almost dizzy from the display, as a warm, crackling energy surged through the woman's form.
She began to glow, her eyes brightening to an electric gold as arcs of lightning sparked from her fingertips, crackling up her arms like she was transforming into the storm itself.
The fearsome beasts that had been closing in on the party froze, claws halting mid-air, their eyes blinking in alarm. Even the most ferocious among them seemed to take a cautious step back, looking as though they were mentally rethinking their life choices.
The soldiers, too, were frozen, their jaws slack as they watched the transformation unfold. This wasn't just some ordinary magic boost—this was a full-blown lightning-fueled glow-up. The light around the knight faded, leaving in its place an aura of pure, electrifying power.
With a confused smile that could have made the sun feel underdressed, the female knight raised her sword, now crackling with raw energy, and gave it a testing swing.
Bolts of lightning surged through the air with a sound like thunder, and in a single slash, a storm of pure electricity tore through the beasts, electrifying them.
Argider, standing somewhat awkwardly beside her empowered female knight, cleared her throat. "Ah...well," she stammered, "good job...team?"
