The Transmigrated Professor

‘Flower Garden!’

The happiest moment of Nyra's life was when the Beastman Cardinal declared that she was the possessor of the SS Rank Skill 'Flower Garden'. It was a skill that appeared few and far between among the pages of Elven history. And all of its previous owners had their names written down in history as legendary fighters.

Everyone had proclaimed her as the ‘Butterfly Princess’.

To a princess who had been forced to endure the shame of running away from her planet, receiving this Skill was like being bestowed the blessing of the universe.

To uphold the grace shown to her, Nyra trained in the art of Beastman Martial Arts, sparing no effort to get stronger. Nyra had already defeated many of her instructors when she was just 120 years old, which for the beastmen, with their long lives, is akin to being a teenager.

Now that she was 194 years old, she had finally been granted the seat of the Crown Princess.

But she, the Crown Princess and future Queen of the Beastmen Kingdom had been attacked by a filthy human. Those disgusting, lowly beings who didn’t even know the ways of mana until almost a century ago, dominated this planet like cockroaches and robbed all the resources from Dungeons.

They were so pathetically weak, Nyra doubted they would last even a day when the Demon King’s army would descend upon this planet. It would be much better for the Elves and other tribes to seize the magical resources on this planet and send them over to their home planets, where their main military power was defending against the invading demons.

But that stupid pledge that had been made between all the tribes forbade them from harming humans unreasonably.

If that's how it's going to be, then fine! But till now she had perfectly held back her desire to kill the humans that she had come across in the Dungeon and allowed the Elves to just scare them away. But now this human had dared to harm her. Anything that happens now, can only be considered self-defence on her part.

As Nyra chased after him, she could hear fallen branches crunching beneath her feet, the noise echoing in the deadly quiet forest. But due to her rage, she failed to notice the lack of monsters in the path she was currently. There was not a single sound in her vicinity that could indicate the presence of life.

It was as if the entire forest had gone quiet, so as to not wake up a demon that would devour the world.

“Nyra, wait up!” Max called out from behind her, but she wasn’t going to stop. The fact that the human was able to appear behind her must mean he has the ‘Fade’ skill. She needed to catch him again before he could disappear. 

She quickly rushed into the clearing where the human’s presence was emanating from.

“Rawr!”

A huge roar pushed her back. 

She raised her head to look at what monster had the aura to push her back. A set of knife-like teeth stared back at her. The brown eyes of the boss monster were boiling with rage.

“Um, Nyra. I think we just stepped in that guy’s trap.”, Max cautiously advised her from behind.

“Haa… Just how strong can the boss of a C Rank Dungeon be?”

A black rose blossomed in her hand.

“Fwoosh” 

Black petals swirled from her hand, surrounding the dinosaur’s body. The imminent result was clear for any to see.

“Let’s go search for the human, Max.” She began to turn back to her colleague

Suddenly her body bent forward, making her bow down on one knee. She didn’t know if it was out of instinct or by mistake, but the fear that she had felt in the previous moment caused goose bumps on her arms.

A huge claw swiped the space where she was standing just moments ago.

She could tell from the air vacuum created by the attack, that she would have been fatally injured by the monster's strike if she hadn’t dodged it.

She quickly jumped back to get away from the monster.

Beside her, Max was looking at the monster warily. His claws were out ready to take on the beast at any moment. Since Max was more adept at physical fights, she decided to stand behind him.

“Nyra, you should get out of here. This Boss doesn’t seem your average monster.”

If even Max, one of the strongest Beastmen she knew, was saying that the monster will be a tough opponent, then she needed to leave so that he could concentrate on the fight. 

She picked up the cocoon that Max had pushed to the side. As long as this Spirit was in her hands, that human will come after her. She will get her revenge later. 

“Good luck, Max.” Saying that she left the battle to meet up with the Elves.

I was kind of proud that my plan was working well. 

When I read the name of the Dungeon, I remembered which Dungeon this was. After all, I was the one who had given my friend the idea of this Dungeon, based on one of the popular movies at that time.

The Boss Monster, Rexy had an iron-like skin and her Physical Stats could give even A Rank Heroes a run for their money, especially when Berserk gets activated. A totally cheat-like Boss monster.

As Nyra fled, I decided to gain some distance too while observing the fight.

Calling the fight ‘phenomenal’ would be an understatement, to say the least. 

Max jumped into the air so he could meet Rexy at eye level. Without delay, he began to level her with a continuous series of punches. Each strike was executed with almost no wastage in movements and every time his muscles moved, I could feel a huge ripple of wind shaking the land. I could feel from far away how strong Max was.

But Rexy wasn’t even fazed by the attacks. Her steel-like skin was able to slide off the brunt of the attacks, and instead would counterattack by using her truck-crushing bite. But whenever she tried to grab Max, he would jump back, before propelling forward to land another punch.

Since I was getting farther away from the fight, I decided to spectate the rest of the battle on the Map. With this, I was able to see the much finer details of their Skills.

In the middle of the match, Max touched his left eye. When he removed his hand, the pupil had gone white, like he had lost his vision completely. Next, he clenched his fist, ready to throw another punch. But unlike before, the force backing the attack was so tremendous, it pushed Rexy back by a few mistakes. 

'Appraisal!'

‘Sacrificial Buff’ was a pretty powerful skill, especially for a martial artist like Max, who has trained his body from childhood. Since each of his body parts had been trained so efficiently, their sacrifice would generate a much stronger buff than any other Class of Hero.

Since the fight was growing fiercer, I decided to leave the area. I was relieved to see that Max won’t be killed in the fight.

In all honesty, I was nervous that I had taken it too far by awakening a powerful Boss like Rexy. The Elves hadn’t harmed anyone, so I couldn’t cause casualties on their side either. Not to mention, I hadn’t developed a strong enough mindset to be able to be responsible for someone's death. My previous world had been too peaceful for a simple guy like me to be able to do that and not have it eat away at my conscience. 

I started to scan the map to look for Nyra. Currently, she was holding onto Deus, and from her path, it seems like she was on her way to meet with her Elf colleagues.

Honestly, even with her being separated from Max, I knew I wouldn't be able to fight her and take Deus away.

Well, in a fair fight that is.
