――――――――――――――

Back then, the Whiteback Forest was filled with shrieks and roaring cries from the members of the Eternal Flame. Stella "slaughtered" them to completion, aka defeat them with a single attack. Currently, Stella was on her way to the final place of the fight, which was at the very depths of the Whiteback Forest.

If Stella could finish this fight quickly, then the inauguration of her title would be implemented quickly, and she would return to the Everstell Palace quickly as well.

Drapery. Drapery. Drapery.

"Hap!"

Stella ran while jumping over several branches of collapsed trees. The tail of his eyes constantly glanced around him warily, just in case someone attacked him from behind and side in hiding.

Shut―

Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!

That was when three arrows at high speed struck Stella.

By relying on her experience in the bloody world―the mention that Stella made to the world of hitmen―Stella managed to avoid two arrows, but part of her cheek was scratched due to the third arrow.

Although his profession used to be as a capable assassin, but with a small body like this, doing martial arts with his bare hands was impossible, he said, so all Stella can do is avoid while looking for an opportunity to eliminate the person who hit her with three arrows.

"Hmmm!"

Stella gave a small snort while grinning. His red eyes lit up again while glancing at some places he believed to be the archer's hideout.

Archers are long-range attackers, while sword users are melee attackers. So, who benefits and is harmed?

"Of course I'm the one who benefits. Hehehe...." Stella muttered, then laughed gigglingly.

After which, Stella turned around, took her sword, and darted towards the archer's hideout. Then, a "swoosh" sound was heard along with the sound of someone swinging a sword.

"Uwaa-akhh!"

"Hai~"

Behind the thickets were two archers, men and women, respectively. They spontaneously shouted as Stella suddenly appeared from the side while swinging her striking-looking sword.

Stella smiled, but looked at them coldly.

"Is it really fun to scratch my pretty face?"

The words as if very concerned about his face were just thrown from Stella's lips. That is the trick, which is to assume his face is the most important part and must be protected with all his might. But Stella didn't really think so.

If that Suzy or that Shavir saw my face scratched, then they would explode and cause the capital to be destroyed! Then my alibi about taking a walk in the capital would be useless!

Stella's red eyes kept staring at the two people, but slowly grew sharper and colder.

"It's all because of you."

"...?"

The two people looked at each other and did not understand Stella's sudden remark, even so they felt a dangerous air surrounding them.

"Taking you guys off seems easy."

Stella prepared to swing her sword, but something unexpected happened.

Poof―

Something came up from the air―resembling the fog―and blurred Stella's vision for a few minutes.

"Ukh!"

Stella sharpened her eyebrows when her sense of smell suddenly became sensitive due to the appearance of the fog.

"Check, uhuk! Uhuk―"

In addition, it turns out that the fog is poisonous. Stella's breathing became congested. Stoked nose. The poisonous mist made him unable to breathe. If Stella opens her mouth to breathe―other alternative than breathing through the nose―then the toxic fog could have entered her lungs and caused quite severe effects, he said, so Stella chose not to breathe for a few minutes.

"But it's not that easy to clean us up, boy."

An arrogant voice rang out a moment after, followed by a satisfied laugh from them. They laughed happily thinking they had defeated Stella.

Hearing such blatant ridicule, Stella became a black-clad. However, she was not angry that she had been poisoned, but Stella was angry that people had called her "spoken"!

Si*lan all of you!!

A pitch-black aura immediately exuded, obliterating the poisonous mist. The two archers, who were laughing, instantly froze.

Crash―!

A large and extremely hot fireball appeared from Stella's palm, it was so large that it exceeded Stella's height in size. Slowly, the fireball grew bigger.

"Do you think I can only use a sword?"

Her voice is so cold.

As if everything was frozen, as if there was only Stella there and being the center of attention, the two archers could not move at all, their legs were trembling. Their bodies instantly goosebumps along with that intense pressure that kept pressing down on them.

"I don't intend to let anyone else know my identity, so sorry, you guys have to die here."

"D-no!!"

"You can't do it!"

As if she had never heard the voices of the two men, Stella looked at them indifferently and immediately raised her flames. That huge, red-flaming fire burned everything.

"NOOO!!"

The sound of screams rang out, but it was slowly submerged by the huge fire.

Inside the fireball, the bodies of the two archers were forcibly burned. No blood came out. No meat is chipped. There is only the word "hangus" suitable to describe their deaths.

Standing up while watching the scene, Stella did not have the slightest sympathy. His mouth then opened, and he spoke in a low tone.

"Whoever dares to offend Stella Elliathania Elliot Evergard, then there is only one path, namely destruction."

Then Stella turned around. His fingers formed a sign, after which the great blazing fire went out, as if the fire had never existed.

There was only a pile of ash on the ground, signifying that it was the ashes of the two archers that Stella had burned.

The damage caused by the fire was quite severe, almost all of the trees around Stella were charred, the ground where Stella stood also became scorched.

However, just as he burned the two archers, Stella's red eyes still did not show the slightest care.

"Well, it's time to go."

***

"Basic ke*rat! Quickly step aside and hand over all the treasures you have!!"

The sound of one's swearing and growling sounded along with his great axe clashing with a sword belonging to a knight.

The black-haired knight, Nicole, stared angrily at the forest bandit leader who was now fighting with him.

"Dream it!"

With a shrewd move, Nicole turned and swung the sword right towards the neck of the forest bandit leader.

Slash―

Fresh blood immediately spurted after Nicole's sword scratched the neck of the forest bandit leader, the wound grew bigger and finally widened to look like a tear.

The forest bandit leader grew even more furious as he felt a warm sensation spread around his neck.

"Si*lan! How dare you throw that dirty sword at me!!"

He immediately raised his axe and pointed it towards Nicole.

"Aragh!"

Nicole failed to escape. His shoulder felt collapsed as the huge axe passed through it. His lemon eyes slowly dimmed, his consciousness thinning.

"Nicole!!"

Faintly, Nicole could feel the voice of her master calling out her name. Breathing gasps. Nicole is determined to protect her master, but she can't protect herself just from being injured by an axe.

So, how could he protect his master?

Don't surrender! Get up!

Nicole cheered herself up. His limp body was forced to move.

"Come ... bang .. kit―!"

Bruk!

"Akh!"

Unfortunately, the leader of the forest bandits did not let Nicole move. He ruthlessly pushed Nicole's body to the ground. Pain in the back immediately felt Nicole.

Meanwhile, the leader of the forest bandits smiled in satisfaction while commanding his subordinates.

"Hold the little boy in the car and the coachman! Then take everything they have!"

"Good, Master!"

With a simultaneous reply, the subordinates of the forest bandit leader immediately headed for the carriage, then searched its contents.

They arrested a 7-year-old boy and a car driver. The coffin containing the body of a woman was also forcefully opened, trying to search for valuable objects such as jewelry or gold. However, inside the car there were no valuables.

With a hasty step, a man approached his master.

"There's nothing in that carriage, sir."

"What?!" The leader of the forest bandits was shocked, his eyes widened, the moment after he became emotional. "Impossible! There must be something! Quickly search well!"

"Bright, sir."

They searched the train again, but still could not find anything valuable. Knowing that, the leader of the forest bandits became enraged. He vented his anger at Nicole lying on the ground, kicking the knight's stomach violently.

"Damn! They are just poor people! My time has been wasted because of these poor people!"

"Thanks...!"

Nicole groans. His shoulder had not recovered, his back was in pain, but now his stomach was aching.

T-please....

At that moment, someone in black clothes flashed there. Her blond, sun-like hair shone through the darkness in Whiteback Forest.

"Why so much noise? Is there a massacre in this fight?"

Everyone's attention was distracted at the sweet voice, even the half-conscious Nicole also directed her gaze toward the source of the voice.

"What's? Why is there a child here?" The leader of the forest bandits furrowed his brows when he saw the sudden arrival of a little girl. "Oi, kid. Don't interfere. Go there."

This guy calls me a boy!!

Stella gritted her teeth when she heard the call for the second time. His face, which was not covered by the mask, became gloomy. His red eyes lit up. The aura of the Goddess of Death, which had faded, was now coming out.

"How dare someone like you call me a boy."

A sign of danger immediately rang in the minds of the forest bandits, making their mentality shrink.

"Please selected. You want to die from burning, sword-piercing, or in my father's hands?"

A cold and sharp voice immediately pierced through everyone's minds.
