In the darkness of the night, Audrey's feelings were mixed, she was angry, upset, worried, scared, anxious, everything became one. Audrey flew over buildings and housing on the city streets towards the west gate. A smaller exit than the main gate on the south side. He drove at high speed regardless of any warning from the gatekeeper.
Outside the gate there is only a forest with many wooden houses around it that seem to be uninhabited, some are used as warehouses and cages and some are just abandoned. The atmosphere here is very quiet, the cold wind is getting piercing, although all the forest around here is still the capital region but here is far from the warmth of the city.
Audrey kept on dashing regardless of anything, now all she thought about was the fate of her two best friends. He continued to ponder and daydream until finally he arrived at the empty house in question. A house that is at the very end and is only a few meters from the jungle, a place that is arguably the most outside of the capital region.
From the outside of the wooden house it looks very big, old and a little reot. Not to forget also around the yard is overgrown with grass thatch is quite high and cobwebs scattered on the ceilings of the house, thus adding a haunted atmosphere. From the outside there is no visible light at all because of the tightness of the wooden walls but it is thought Hendry, Eliana and the kidnappers are still inside because there are still some human voices from outside here.
Without further ado Audrey went straight into the house by breaking down the front door and making a loud noise, as she was currently unable to think clearly. The dark atmosphere suddenly became bright with some not-so-bright candles burning inside, some invisible men looking at Audrey who was angry.
Audrey got closer no matter the situation, until she found something surprising. The fainting Hendry and Eliana were tied to the wall with both hands and feet tied separately, opening gaps all over their bodies. Seemed from the clothes they were wearing torn, his skin was bruised, full of wounds until there were still tears dripping on Eliana's cheeks.
And what made Audrey angry the most was that her pretty face was held by the dirty hands of a kidnapper, with large fingers rubbing her lips. After the kidnapper realized Audrey's arrival he turned his head casually towards her, without the slightest guilt and regret.
“Cih has arrived, even though we have not had time to have fun with this girl.“ Said the kidnapper and followed by some friends who are now ready with their respective weapons.
Audrey was surrounded by 7 people in this empty house including the first person who seemed to be their leader, in the midst of the darkness with a hint of light they approached, her face became clearer, and her face became clearer, they all carried sharp weapons and some carried magic tools.
Some of them did not know Audrey, but one of them she had met. Apparently that person was a merchant who was blacklisted a few days ago and it was certain that they were not all bandits. All of them were men, their bodies looked gallant and looked already expert in battle, it seemed like they were all B rank adventurers, except for that merchant.
“SO WHAT DO YOU MEAN DO ALL THIS !!??” Shouted Audrey.
With the looseness of the kidnapper who touched Eliana was lighting a cigarette, sucking it and then spraying it towards Audrey.
Huh.huh…
“No... Actually WHAT DO YOU MEAN BLOCKING OUR PLANS!!?” He answered loudly and louder, he also looked stronger because his muscles were flaring up, also he seemed to be the leader here. Suddenly his cruel and loud shout also followed the nearby merchant, he spoke haughtily.
“ REALLY TRUE... YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DESTROYED MY BUSINESS, EVEN YOUR LIFE IS NOT ENOUGH TO PAY MY LOSSES WAHAHAHAHAAAA...” He replied with satisfaction while pointing his finger at Audrey.
“Plan ? What plan do you mean ?”
“Cih do not need to pretend to be stupid.. You are the ones who killed all those mined goblins?, We want revenge against what you guys did…"
Audrey was only silent to realize who they were, apparently they were all adventurers. They are the ones who deliberately leave the goblins in the cave so that they can be harvested continuously without caring about the many beginners who are killed. Feelings are mixed and confused about what to do. Audrey was silent for a moment until the Abductor Leader threw a bloodied sword right in front of her.
Tang. clontang...
“Take this, then quickly kill yourself right now.. or you will fight us, then die with all your friends.” Said the kidnapper leader earlier.
Audrey took the sword and held it tightly, her body could not stop shaking and her eyes were soft, she finally asked the kidnapper a final question.
“Se..after I die, are you willing to release the two of them?..”
“Sure... After... We play with this girl of course.. wahahahaha...” The leader replied and everyone here laughed freely amid the suffering of Audrey and her two friends who had fainted.
Audrey's eyes were getting smoother, she couldn't think clearly but with the rest one of the kidnappers said…
“Why..... Even we are kind, letting you die without being seen your bad friend... RIGHT RIGHT ? …WAHAHAHAHAHA They were all laughing loudly and getting louder to the point of disturbing the peace of the forest inhabitants.
Audrey grew angry, her mind mixed and unable to decide on anything. The wind came in from the door that opened, blew, and put out some candles here. The atmosphere became darker than before, but suddenly there was a slight reflection of light darting out.
Swing…. Ah…
A bloody sword swiftly slid from Audrey's hand, heading forward and piercing the kidnapper's leader's stomach. Audrey's tears flowed and her eyes shone in the darkness. The sharp purple light coming out from both corneas of the eyes made everyone around him shocked.
The kidnappers began lighting one candle at a time, approaching the leader and ready to fight back.
“Ba.. well if that's what you want, we will kill all of you wahahahaha..” said one of the kidnappers brandished his sword even though his legs trembled slightly. Unwilling to waste time Audrey took the magic wand and prepared herself for the attacking position.
Like most other villain traits, they all attack by besieging and blindly using swords or sharp weapons. Everything except the leader and the merchant ran attacking towards Audrey.
Audrey was a little desperate because she was currently surrounded in close combat, unlike during the one-on-one duel with the villainous Witch in the Anggresia city back then, right now he had a little difficulty to deal with the enemies attacking from his surroundings.
All the enemies were exactly a few meters around Audrey. They all raised swords and sharp weapons prepared to slash at him immediately.
Audrey casts fire magic and covers herself to ward off enemy attacks, but she is still injured, but this is still mending rather than doing no resistance at all.
Some of the enemies bounced back with moderate burns, and some only sustained minor injuries.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!, THE TIME OF ATTACKING 1 LITTLE CHILD IS OVERWHELMED !!!" Shouted the merchant who saw as if in disbelief, but the kidnapper leader immediately got up and stood up with a bandage that tied his stomach. Although he had been injured by a thrown sword, it did not appear to be too severe and did not recognize his vital organs.
The leader of the kidnappers got up casually, slowly heading towards Audrey with a very sharp large sword, a sword 1 and a half meters long with a thickness of 5 centimeters that can be used with 2 hands he managed to carry and swung with one hand, it proved that the leader was a very strong person.
Just like the others, even though their party did not have witches but they were still B-ranked adventurers, or at least "Oknum Adventurers".
The enemies around Audrey began to slowly rise, along with their approaching leader. Panicked Audrey continuously cast ice magic, a sharp little ice bullet shot forward, and rained down on the kidnapper's leader but it could be dealt with easily.
He repels Audrey's ice magic using his greatsword, with nothing hitting his body. He was getting closer and his greatsword was getting flaming red burning by the flames.
Audrey panicked, as it was unmistakable, it seemed like the one the leader was holding was a magic sword, and she was using a little magic. Moreover, he was a very powerful person and a close combat expert, unlike Audrey, and again his comrades were almost ready to stand up and attack Audrey at any time.
In this case Audrey tried to calm herself down and think clearly, she tried to turn her gaze towards her friend in order to make her calm down a little. Hendry and Eliana were now conscious but from what they saw it did not make Audrey calm at all.
"HO.. HOE !!! What are you doing old man fuck !!!" Shouted Hendry towards the crafty merchant, but he did not care about it.
The old cunning merchant was trying to find an opportunity. He approached Eliana and tried to take off his clothes. Until now Eliana could only cry and sigh uncomfortably.
"He..stop... I beg you…"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING OLD BANGKA... Quickly release my brother !!!" Hendry is getting angry but can not do much because both hands and feet are tied, even now he is not aware of Audrey here.
But it was fortunate that Audrey realized what the crafty merchant would do when he almost unbuttoned the first one. Just like the wrathful Hendry, Audrey also grew even more furious and it was likely that he was even worse off.
Audrey could only look down disappointed, her face covered in hair and a very wide magician's hat, standing upright holding a magic wand not caring about anything even though all the enemies were preparing to attack, and now she just muttered softly…
"I've been holding back all this time…"
"I've been kind to all my enemies…"
"I tried my best not to kill anyone"
"BUT NOW.. I DON'T CARE ANYMORE !!!" Audrey raised her head, staring intently at the crafty merchant. A huge force burst out from his body like a large-scale wind magic, flying the hat worn also extinguished all the candles in this empty house.
The atmosphere became pitch-black and there was no light source except for Audrey's two eyes that glowed purple in the darkness, also the crystal contained in his magic wand which is usually blue or red is now changing color to purple in line with the color of his eyes.
All the criminals over there were a little confused and panicked. Audrey continued to walk slowly towards the crafty merchant, the same direction as her friend's tied second position. Walking closer and closer with a sharp gaze, his straight straight hair drifting upwards, a purple-crystalline magic wand that emitted electric sparks so that his voice was clearly heard, the, also the ground between his footprints was slowly frozen into icy rocks.
"Who would have thought I'd use this kind of power again..."
