  Queenie was looking everywhere nervously; it was obvious she didn’t like the look of the pce at all and was stantly wishing to be somewhere else instead.

  However, her resolve to gain more popurity was stronger, and with the thought that it was just a game, she was able to force herself to join the group.

  heless, despite her trying her best to not look nervous, she couldn’t help yapping and asking a trillioions.

  “So where are we going? How are we even going to find these criminals?! Don’t tell me we’re just going to chase them around! They’re just going to escape…”

  “Yeah, that’s where yoing in,” Vd said.

  “M-Me?!” Queenie screamed.

  “You’re the bait,” Chris smiled, patting her shoulders. “You’re a cute girl, and you look all scared already. So yoing to bee the perfect bait. Just go over there. That street is where most of the thugs gather up and where there’s the most robbery. Yoing to run around, and they’ll start chasing you.”

  “Why me though?!” Queenie cried.

  “If you won’t cooperate, then there’s no deal,” said Vd. “Queenie, you have to learn to promise.”

  “Uuggh!” Queenie grabbed her head in desperation. “F-Fine! So I just fly there, right?!”

  "Yeah, act all baby and defenseless,” said Chris, nodding. “We’ll be looking from above.”

  “Let’s go, Camil,” said Vd.

  “Ok!” Camil nodded.

  “Wait a moment, you could have made Camil act as the bait!” Queenie said. “She’s much cuter and defenseless looking!”

  “What? Why would I do that with my sister? Are you insane?” Vd raised an eyebrow.

  “Ah, of course…” Queenie sighed. “Okay, I’m going… I’m strong, you know? So if they get too ahead of themselves, I’ll fight back too! And that might end up ruining the pn…”

  “Just fly as fast as possible; we’ll catch up with you,” nodded Chris.

  “Ok then…”

  Queenie quickly started flying away into the dangerous alleys, while Vd, Chris, and Camil flew into the skies and reached the rooftop of the houses, moving across them in silence.

  While doing so, they monitored Queenie, andering around; she asked some homeless-looking people about dires, ag very cluelessly.

  She asked about shops and stuff, and they gave her several different dires, whided up leadio a pce where a few dozen thugs were resting.

  “Hm, I wonder if this is where the shop is at?” she wondered. “Excuse me, sirs? Do you know where the potions shop is?”

  She was very good at ag like a poor, i girl...

  “Ooh?”

  The thugs who were drinking and gambling quickly smiled as they nodded.

  “But of course, young ssie, e over here!” ughed a blue-skinned goblin wearing ach.

  “We know just the pce!” said Orc, covered with red tattoos.

  “We sure do! e along!” nodded a gray werewolf.

  “Hmm~ Aren’t you a cutie? It’s rare to see succubus around here,” giggled a slender blood elf dy, with her face covered on a huge burnt scar and half her head bald.

  “E-Eh…” Queenie began to panic as the entire group of thugs started approag her. “I think I’m good!”

  She quickly started running away; the thugs looked at one another and immediately started chasihey were very greedy.

  “Hey ssie! Where are you going?!”

  “That’s not where the shops are at, haha!”

  “e over here, girl!”

  “Did you see her clothes and equipment? I bet they’re worth tens of thousands!”

  “We gotta strip her bare! Hahah!”

  They were so happy as they chased her, as if they had gotten the jackpot. Vd and his group monitored them from above. Queenie could fly very fast, but not too fast as to make them think it was hopeless to find her.

  While she ran around, she quickly brought the attention of more and mroups of thugs and shady-looking people; they seemed to somehow coordinate as they started moving around the streets and the alleys to er her from every dire.

  She looked so pretty and had such high-quality clothes that everyohought she was some kind of the very least, so they all gathered together just to get her.

  “A-Ah! Please… Why are you chasing me so much?!”

  Queenie panicked as she started trembling and sweating stantly. Looking around her, she was surrounded by at least forty people from all four dires!

  “Now, now, ssie, you’re ing with us alright?”

  “Nah, she’s ours; we saw her first!”

  “There’s no way I’m leaving without taking her clothes at least!”

  “Is she another dumb Pyer? You’ve already taken enough; she’s ours!”

  The froups, although they seemed to belong to the same anization, were fightiween one another for who would get her first.

  “Whrabs her first cims the prize!”

  The blue-skinned goblin rushed towards her, pointing his knife, which seemed to overflow with a bck aura, a Cursed on of some sort.

  “G-Get away from me, disgusting thing!”

  Queenie was horrified as she summoned her staff and fired a pink beam against the goblin.

  “Huh?!”

  BOOOM!

  Before he could do anything, his head and the rest of his torso were blown away as his corpse dropped over the floor, pulverized and releasing smoke.

  The smell of burnt flesh quickly filled the nostrils of everyohere, their bloodlust rising.

  “How dare she?!”

  “Fug bitch!”

  “Tear her to shreds!”

  Queenie screamed as she started firing beams everywhere while barely evading every ining attack, sometimes not being able to and being pushed away etting a few wounds here and there.

  “Eek! Help meeee! VLAAAAD!”

  As she started panig more and more, suddenly, explosions of fmes started emerging from the back of all froups.

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  Humanoid figures made entirely of fmes started spreading explosive fmes everywhere, burning anybody that got closer.

  The fmes weren’t strong enough to pletely kill them, although they were still screaming in agony as they burned, many of them uo respond in time.

  “Hey, what the hell is happening over there?!”

  “Fire?! Don’t tell me this bitch, set us up?!”

  “Oi, wait a sed!”

  The thugs all began to panic as Queenie infused Ara into her wings and flew high into the skies, pointiaff at them.

  “Get fucked!”

  With a furious scream, she stared, firing pink beams fueled by her Charm Stat and Ara Stat, as she started to sughter more of them.

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  As this happened, Vd rushed into the battle, swinging his magic sword. He unleashed a wave of judgment Fmes and Thunder, which grew strohe more “judgement” a target deserved.

  And all these criminals, who have stolen and killed many i, clueless people, from Pyers to other fellow NPCs, were easily burned arocuted to death.

  SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

  “Uuuaarrghh!”

  “Aaarrgh!”

  “W-Who is that guy? Aaack!”

  Vd resembled a huge knight, covered with his heavy armor from head to toe; they couldn’t eveify who the hell he was. His crimson and bck colored armor, which shoh mithril enhas over its body and many runes, empowered him even further.

  “YOU FUCK!”

  However, he was quickly surrounded by many of them wielding Cursed ons and Armor that eveed the magic beams of Queenie.

  “Get him!”

  They attacked Vd from every angle, unleashiructive attacks that his armor had to protect him again. Explosions of cursed dark energies and fmes erupting with each attack he had to take.

  “Cursed ons…!” Vd said. “And it feels the same as that oer God… I see, so you indeed belong to his anization, huh?”

  Suddenly, the ons dropped around his surroundings began lifting up, overflowing with magic electrifying energies.

  “Huh?!”

  CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

  His attackers were uo intercept a rain of attacks ing their way, where dozens of ons and even armor pieces attacked them, exploding iricity.

  “W-What the hell?! He has Magism?”

  “Don’t tell me, a member of the Silver Moon Vampire Family?!”

  “But weren’t they our allies?!”

  Vd smiled beh his helmet.

  “Don’t you know? The pathetic Silver Moon Family were sin by the crippled prind his mother,” said Vd. “Their power, now mine.”

  “W-Wha…?!”

  “Don’t tell me…!”

  “Prince Vd?!”

  CLAAANK!

  Without even desiring to aheir questions, Vd swung his giant sword, cleaving through their bodies with an explosion of Soul Aura, Blood Aura, and Magibiogether with his temporary Internal Ki, which he had gained by eating the fruits aables of his farm.

  “Guuuaarrgghh!”

  The bloody screams of his foes reverberated across the alleys, staining the floor and the nearby, ruined houses red with their blood and innards.

  His sword even pierced through their armor’s defenses as if they were nothing against him!

  “Yeah, I am your prince,” he said. “And today, I’ve e to personally purge you from my city!”

  Even those armed with cursed ons and arman to hesitate, stepping back before the almighty strength and presence of Vd.

  Even when his stats were reduced by 70%, he was this powerful!

  Crippled? That wasn’t even an issue anymore…

  “T-There’s no way…!”

  “Why is he here out of nowhere?!”

  “Does that mean that the succubus bitch was bait?!”

  “F-Fuck! Get off the way!”

  Several of the thugs started running away evehey were the “elite” members that wielded Cursed ons that were enhanced with the power of a certain od.

  However, walls of fmes stopped their path as they stantly grew fists, pung them away, and every time they did, their souls gained little cracks!

  FLUOOOSH!

  “T-The fmes are pung us?!”

  “Uuggh! My soul!”

  “What is the meaning of this?! What’s going on?!”

  They couldn’t even uand what was happening, but they were already trapped within Vd’s spiderweb, and the only way they would get out of here was as dead corpses.

  Vd ordered his Bzing Doppelgao shapeshift into huge walls of fmes, which grew many fists that puheir foes away using his [Soul-Eating Fist Teique (S)] Skill.

  Meaning that whoever tried to escape would have to be punched in the soul by literal living fmes!

  And as if that wasn’t enough, tless elemental arrows of fire, ice, light, and darkness started raining from above.

  “It’s time for you to go to sleep.”

  “Uuaaaggh!”

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  Chris desded from the skies once every thug was dealt with, sighing.

  “Wasn’t this a bit too overkill? I didn’t eveo do this at the end; you’re a monster, dude!” Chris ughed. “Maybe we should leave all of this job to yht, Camil?”

  “I wao fight too!” Camil looked pletely ued by the sughter or the disembodied bodies spttered over the floor.

  If anything, she wao join in the fun…

  “It would have been too dangerous,” said Vd. “Anyways, Chris, you eat their dreams like you did before?”

  “I do something like that; yeah, you left some alive for me?” wondered Chris.

  “A couple, they’re barely breathing,” Vd poi three thugs he had spared.

  However, they were barely alive; their legs were cut off, and so were their arms, and they had been blinded as he burheir faces.

  At any moment, they would drop dead.

  “Alright, let me check.”

  Chris quickly touched their heads and began to see through their Dreams as he devoured them through the natural abilities of a Succubus, who were Demons of Dreams and even Nightmares.

  “Gulp… Disgusting, but I think I got the whole picture,” Chris smiled with a giggle.

  At the same time, Queenie desded from the skies, looking exhausted and tired, while drinking a potion.

  “S-So do I pass?” She wondered, ag meekly.

  “Not yet; it’s not over,” said Vd. “We’re going to their underground hideout now, just like we did before. Ohat’s dohen you’ll have finally passed. And only if you help ioo.”

  “Yep,” Chris smiled. “Anyways, their hideout is over there… I think we killed mostly all the thugs that e at this hour of the day. The others must be resting underground.”

  “So they hide underground like rats…” Camil squinted her eyes. “Parasites… Eating away at our try… We must kill them all, big brother.”

  “A-Ah, yes,” nodded Vd, feeling a bit surprised by Camil’s cold remarks. “Let’s go.”

  Chris led them to an abandoned building—well, irely abandoned, as it was being guarded by five thugs.

  “This should end quickly if I ha, but… Camil, do you want to take them down on your own?” Vd wondered.

  “Sure!” Camil nodded, running towards the thugs.

  “W-Wait, don’t be so direct!” Vd wanted her to sneak from behind or above the rooftops of the houses or something, but Camil just ran at them.

  “Hey! Who’s that?”

  “A vampire brat?”

  “What are you doing around here, ssie? You got lost?”

  “Aren’t vampires worth a lot if you get to sell one as a sve?!”

  “Yeah, definitely, grab her!”

  As Camil walked towards them and they ran towards her with greedy eyes, her face expression became pletely ruthless.

  Her eyes glowed bright red as her silvery-white hair waved by the intense shockwaves of her own Psychic Aura.

  “Bugs!”

  With an annoyed scream, a giant invisible hand made of Telekiic Force rushed down towards the five thugs, crushing them into the ground.

  “Ugh?! What the…?!”

  “What’s this!”

  “Aaarrghh! My bones are breaking!”

  “No way, stop…! STOOOP!”

  CRAAASH!

  And before they could even reach her, they were fttened like pancakes into the floor…
