Against a total of ten Silverheart Dwarven Warriors, it was not necessary to use the Lumina Needles, or any other underhand ans to increase his chance of victory.
The Silverheart Dwarves were all carrying soone and half of them were already injured. Each of the Dwarven Warriors was already exhausted from traveling through the Jula Valley's forest and fighting to claim their prey, which was the struggling female Natives that had been thrown over their shoulders.
Only two Silverheart Dwarves were holding crossbows in their hands while the others were busy lusting at their newfound prey.
Liam released the Arcane Kunai the mont he jumped to the ground. The Arcane Kunai spun around its own axis rapidly, drilling into the crossbows that burst into countless wood splinters.
The mont he landed on the ground, the Arcane Kunai traveled back to Liam, who released it once again a fraction of a second later, claiming the head of the Silverheart Dwarves' group leader.
"...and so does your head!"
As Liam said this, a fountain of blood gushed out of the throat of the group's leader. His head snapped back and it fell to the ground, cleanly severed from his neck.
Liam's claws were fully unsheathed and his surprise attack had been a success. Thus, he could harvest two more lives by aiming at the throat of the tiny Silverheart Dwarves next to him. His claws were gleaming in the crimson blood of the Dwarves as he continued to take the lives of the Silverheart Dwarves.
In their position, they were at a devastating disadvantage. It was almost impossible to react fast enough against Liam's attack, especially because they were heavily armored Dwarves, all of whom were exhausted, injured, and carrying around their prey rather than a weapon.
They were totally unprepared for a surprise attack, and that was what ended their lives even before they could react properly.
Two Silverheart Dwarves threw the female Natives they had captured earlier aside to hastily reach out for their weapons.
The captured girls were rcilessly flung away by them. One was thrown against a tree, another one landed in a bush full of thorns, and both were unable to block their fall. They were tied and couldn't even move properly.
Nothing could be done, except accept their fate and try to overco it. Knowing that there was nothing much they could do, the won could only cry.
Their tears didn't even cease as Jennie, Felicia, and Olivia ca to help the girls that found themself lying on the ground, either in the bush that was full of thorns, next to a large tree, or lying next to the dead bodies of the Silverheart Dwarves who had groped their plump butts.
Liam didn't spend too much ti killing the ten Silverheart Dwarves. In their condition, even Olivia, Felicia, and Jennie would have been able to kill half of them…if they wouldn't charge out at the worst possible ti.
Even when they were filled with rage, it was important to maintain a calm head before charging into a battle. A single mistake could lead to death, and it was easier to make loads of mistakes upon reacting emotionally.
Liam didn't expect the three girls to lose their calm. He had expected more self-restraint and intelligence from Olivia, and a more cowardly reaction from Jennie. As for Felicia, the mont he saw the female Natives, he knew that she would blindly charge out of the bushes.
Once the battle was over, he collected the heavy weapons of the Silverheart Dwarves before removing their heavy armor sets. He didn't use any lightning for the battle or fire. Thus, the heavy armor was comparatively unscathed, could be removed easily, and sold as well.
He could earn a small fortune from the heavy armor set and the heavy broadswords and war-axes.
Afterward, he retrieved the Livral Orb. Then, he ordered it to devour the ten corpses which the Relic did instantly. Ten huge maws full of white shining fangs erged from the ground, devoured the corpses, and disappeared with a notification telling him how long he had to wait before the corpses were digested.
Once he was done, Liam found himself looking at the eight won that were being tended to by the three girls of his group.
"Did you guys move to the forest because the city is not safe anymore?" He asked, ignoring the fear he saw in the eyes of the won.
They looked with a frightened gaze at Liam before their eyes flicked over to Jennie, Felicia, and Olivia as if the three girls could help them.
However, the girls just stared back at them, interested in answer to Liam's question.
"We…we fled…yes…" One of them answered after a few seconds of silence. She started to sob not long after and began to blabber incomprehensibly, or at least most of it was incomprehensible, "Wefledshedaandsruvihickforweewkkkbuttheenmonsters….dwarves ca…they killed everyone…"
Liam considered her blabbering as a 'Yes' to his question and he turned to the girls of his group.
"How about we continue then? I guess you're not planning to allow the other hunting group to kill more n in the forest, and violate fellow won, right?" Liam asked expressionlessly.
There was sothing in his voice that caused Felicia to smile dryly and Olivia to stare at him with the corner of her right eye twitching.
Liam's way of saying things irked the girls, but they could not find fault with him.
Felicia and Jennie had a bad stomach ache from the thoughts that tornted them, and the bad feeling they had about the well-being of their family, but it was more important to spend an hour or two to get rid of the SIlverheart Dwarves to make sure that no woman would beco a victim to their cruelty, rather than blindly rushing to the city without knowing anything.
Liam just wanted to get rid of the Silverheart Dwarves. That was sothing the girls could sense easily.
And he would leave the won whom they had just saved from their captors alone. If they wanted to survive, they would have to fend for themselves. That, and the fact that nobody should get in his way if they wanted to stay alive was Liam's mindset, and the girls understood that pretty well by now.
However, Olivia was in no mood to allow Liam to have so peace. She turned over to the won who were still sobbing before she smiled gently at them.
"Do you want to co with us and see the death of the people who were responsible for your horror?"
'What a nutcase!...'
