“Are you okay with leaving your servant like that?” Erbau asked in a worried tone.


    I shook my head. “I’ve been thinking about this for quite a while, Erbau. Maybe it’s time for Elise to embrace this dark side of her.”


    My magic pond is showing Elise continuing to sh at her opponent.


    ***


    Jorge couldn’t put up a fight at all. Elise kept swinging her sword at the man’s body at speed almost iprehensible to humans. Jorge’s body also grew paler as a reddish glow continued to emit from his body.


    “Please, spare me!!!” Jorge looked terrified. He couldn’t even fall down because Elise’s attacks forced him to keep standing. Gone was the arrogance and cruelty he used to disy.


    And finally, the magical barrier on the man’s body was depleted. Elise’s sword managed to pierce his body, spurting fresh blood, forcing him to drop his axe.


    “Heeaah!!!” Elise did a Rising sh, moving her sword from the bottom up in a curve while jumping, causing the man’s body to split into two parts, scattering various organs and blood._.


    An overkill andpletely unnecessary.


    Elisended on the ground covered in blood, showing no fatigue. Her breath was steady, and sweat was not dripping from her body.


    “Mona…” The female warrior widened her eyes, then ran towards the former explosion. She jumps over the fire after the fire without fear, in stark contrast to when she first became Raymund’s servant.


    Finally, she found her pet dog lying on the ground, with barely any fur left, bodies emitting smoke and burns. Her size is small, maybe only about half an adult’s arm.


    “Mona…” Elise knelt down and started to burst into tears. The female warrior’s form had gradually returned to normal. Her armor is back to its original crimson color, her eyes are green, and her hair is brown again.


    The dog let out a low moan from her mouth.


    “I will bring her here,” Raymund said just as the cloud of mist appeared above Elise’s head. “Will youe along?”


    The female warrior wiped her tears. “Perhaps I should help Yua and Kimi, sir.”


    “Okay.” Raymund began to lift the dog into the mist. “Don’t worry, Mona is strong. She’ll definitely survive, Elise… And I’m sorry for making Mona fight that monster.”


    The female warrior just nodded, watching her dog continue to float upwards.


    ***


    A few minutes before the big explosion happened….


    The sound of the dog barking and the dragon’s roar could be heard from a distance. The guards were on standby at a ce that housed enved people from the vige. Those people just sat on the ground with tired faces. No mats to lie on or anything like that.


    “Nine…. Ten…. Eleven….” Yua counted while hiding behind arge rock. “As you said, sir. It looks like the two of us won’t be able to go against them just like that.”


    “That’s why I gave that strategy to you,” Raymund answered. “So, just do it, don’t have to wait any longer. Remember, you won’t die by them.”


    The kunoichi grimaced. “Yeah, just a little bit of pain.”


    Kimi came out of hiding and immediately yed one note through her lute. The tip of her instrument shot a fireball that directly hit one of the guards, leaving the other guards in shock and confusion.


    Yua came out of hiding without wasting any chance and attacked those people. Meanwhile, Kimi bes support by firing various elemental magic. However, she met a mage who used the same technique.


    “O, vigers!” Yua shouted at the terrified vigers. The kunoichi was surrounded by guards, and some even shot her arrows from a distance. “I will save you guys, but I can’t do it alone! Don’t worry, no one wille again because we have exterminated them!”


    Now the kunoichi could only dodge the sessive attacks of those people. Only the speed that makes her still able to survive. However, she knew this would notst long.


    As the pressure grew, the explosion of Jorge’s dragon resounded and gave the people a strong gust of wind. They even had to protect their eyes with their hands because of the dazzling light.


    “Look! We have already started destroying that evil statue!” Yua could speak more freely because the guards froze at the explosion. “So, help us! This is for your freedom! Look, no one hase to help these guards yet! Only you can free yourselves! We’re just helping!”


    The vigers looked at each other, then one of them shouted. “Let’s go forward! We free ourselves!”


    The screams were met with grumbles, which multiplied, then turned into angry shouts.


    “I want to return to our vige!”


    “We are tired of working with bad people!”


    “Kill!!!”


    “Kill!!! Kill!!! Kill!!!”


    “Shut up!!! Or I will kill you!!!” One of the guards roared, but it had no effect. The workers were still screaming, some picking up boulders, hoes, pickaxes, and other tools.


    Another guard threw his sword on the ground and raised his hands. “We gave up! Forgive us for torturing you!!!”


    “Hey, don’t let go of your weapon like that, idiot!”


    Without the guards knowing, Yua had already jumped on top of them, dropping a white ball. The ball exploded as soon as it hit the ground, creating a thick cloud of smoke that enveloped the guards.


    “Go!!!” One of the workers ran forward, and the others followed.


    The guards could not move as the workers from the vige ganged up on them from all over. An archer tried to run, but Kimi managed to knock him down with a wind magic shot. He also had the same fate as his friends. The workers from the vige surrounded him like chickens fighting for food.


    Meanwhile, the kunoichi chose to stay away. Unable to see the brutality of the human. Yes, she had fought terrible demons before. Still, something about a massacre like this made her feel ufortable.


    “Rx, Yua.” Raymund sighed. “This is over. Everything is done. And remember, the vigers will return to their homes after this.”


    “I know, sir.” Yua closed her eyes, catching her breath. “I just need to get used to something like this.”
