I walked through the city seemingly uncontested after that last ambush, that was until I reached the base of the hill that overlooked the city and dock. Standing in the middle of my path were a group of won.
“Master! We heard what happened.” Lydia bit her lip. “I don’t understand what Master is doing, but Master needs to stop.”
“You’re in my way,” I responded in a monotone voice.
“Your soul is on fire, Master,” Miki spoke up. “We can feel the pain you’re in. I can feel the life force of the nearby humans. They are all getting weaker at an alarming rate.”
“Move.”
“Tsk… Master wants to be difficult.” Shao huffed. “I don’t care who you want to kill, but you’re hurting yourself to do it, and that’s sothing I won’t allow.”
“This state your in is dangerous,” Astria added. “If you keep it up, your soul will irreversibly be tainted. This feels like what happened to when I ford my dungeon and beca a dark fairy. You’re becoming a dungeon monster! You need to snap out of it before your mind is gone.”
“I said move!” I scread.
“Master, please settle…” Terra declared as she walked cautiously toward with her hands up.
I lashed out with power, the ground erupting under her feet. Terra let out a shout as she was thrown to the side. At that mont, all of them charged at once. They were more opponents, more red dots to be eliminated. I channeled a dozen spells, sending out attacks at each of them. The spells were countered by Elaya. Celeste was the one to reach first, sending several wind blades aid at my arms and legs.

I ignored the attacks as they cut into my armor, sothing she wasn’t expecting. Instead, I focused on a pure beam of mana and shot her with it. Her body flickered as her mana body was disrupted. She fell from the sky and hit the ground at my feet. At that point, the second-fastest Lydia had reached . She spun a spear, aiming to strike down. I caught the spear in my hand, and then reached out and grabbed her throat. At that mont, Shao appeared at my side, attempting to deliver an assassin’s strike. I threw Lydia in her direction, sending the two won sprawling.
Astria and Elaya sent our barrages of attacks, but I ignored them. Instead, I blurred and leaped toward Miki. She had started to form ninetails, and her focus had been on awakening her power to the point she wasn’t expecting to appear in front of her. I struck her in the neck with an open palm, and she collapsed into my arms. I then picked her up and used her as a shield. The two won who were launching spells at desperately tried to redirect them before they struck the defenseless Miki.
I was able to grab the flustered Astria before she flew away, and then I chucked her at Elaya. As the two won ended up tangled up, I continued to move up the hill.
“Master!” I heard Lydia shout as she got back to her feet. “No!”
“Stand down. Slave Order!” I snarled without looking back.
