Crimson Overlord

And a few minutes later the remaining thugs were slaughtered with Orpheus killing more, Lily only killed two thugs but even so her hands were trembling and he vomited her breakfast. Orpheus frowned but didn\'t offer any word to alleviate what she was feeling as he believed this was something she had to experience sooner, so better let her get used to it right now.

The only thing he could do was simply pat her back, slowly caressing it to support her. That\'s all.

After a long moment, Lily finally managed to calm down she lifted her head, staring into those beautiful red eyes she couldn\'t help but ask.

\'\'How can you be so calm after killing another living being? A human just like you?\'\'

This question had been eating away at her consciousness so she let it flow out of her mouth.

Orpheus stayed silent for a moment before saying.

"Because I\'ve killed more than you think, so much that I\'ve become unaffected by death. Forget it I\'m not in the mood to speak about it.\'\' He declared before standing up and turning his back on her for some reason, Orpheus\'s back at that instant was lonely, so lonely that Lily felt touched and regretted her action, and just as she was about to offer some words of apology he said.

\'\'How should we take care of the rats spying on us for a while?" He motioned with his head in a certain direction and upon hearing this, Lily chuckled, she was really angry at the moment.

As proof of the anger that she was feeling at the moment, Lily\'s lips curved upward slightly and a slight smile escaped from her mouth. Just like what happened to many people when their anger reached a certain level, Lily began to laugh softly as she took a step forward. She was really mad because of those two unnecessary actions she was forced to kill. A traumatizing experience she would have rather postponed for a later date.

She ought to teach them a lesson.

\'\'Of course, I ought to teach them a lesson they would never forget. Be ready to act accordingly.\'\' She said before releasing all of her strength, she was letting everything loose.

Upon hearing her action and seeing her next action, Orpheus couldn\'t help but feel a little amused as the corners of his mouth perked up.

\'\'Sure.\'\' He responded and she vanished.

°°°°°

\'\'Sister, let\'s us retreat as we have been discovered, those two are dangerous -"

Hellion\'s words were cut off abruptly when his eyes widened. In his pupils was reflected a youthful but extremely beautiful face approaching at such high speeds that he, a person who had entered Level 5 couldn\'t completely follow, he tried to twist his body but was unable to do it as he was late, he could only cross his arms while pushing his sister as far as he could.

\'\'Hellion!!\'\' Illya screamed as she was sent flying a few meters away meanwhile, Lily\'s punch connected to Hellion\'s crossed arms.

Bang!

His muscular frame was sent flying like a ragdoll but he couldn\'t breathe a sigh of relief as Lily was already before him whipping him with her leg enhanced by origin.

BANG! BOOM! Crack!

Hellion\'s body was sent flying on dozen meters breaking many trees in the process before stopping and lying motionless on the ground while puking mouthfuls of blood. He had been KOed in just two moves.

Illya was shocked by the turn\'s event as her sister was well aware of his strength so she was beyond surprised, fear began to gain roots inside her, even more so because of what Lily did next after knocking out her brother.

Lily\'s fist was closing in on the scared young girl. Illya gritted her teeth and twisted her body to avoid the attack.

Sadly, this was more difficult than she thought and she faced dangerous recoil from reacting too late. Still, she didn\'t hesitate in her decision as she believed she would have suffered more greatly if she didn\'t do this.

BANG

Lily\'s fist smashed into the ground next to Illya her target. Her fist was like a mountain and a booming sound rang out as soon as it made contact with the surface.

The ground exploded into chunks, sending the tiniest specks of soil and stones into the air. Almost twenty meters of the land area was instantly toppled, forming a small crater.

At the same time, Illya received a flying stone in the chest despite her evasion. She spat out a mouthful of blood and started falling into the crater.

Just then, a hand gripped her arm and pulled her.

Startled, she lifted her head and noticed it was her earlier target. His one hand was pulling her while from his other hand, he was shooting a large amount of flame on the ground to propel himself into the air.

"You alright, miss?" It was the young man accompanying the white-haired girl, this young man asked with a gentle and innocent smile.

By now, she has regained clarity, and the effects of the attack she suffered subsidized. She didn\'t reply but instead, pulled out her arm from his grasp like a slippery fish, and then somersaulted through the air.

Her speed was such that all she left behind was a blur. She landed outside the crater, huffing. Even though she had survived somehow thanks to her timely response, Illya was a bit exhausted.

She brought the back of a hand to her mouth to wipe the blood.

"Here,"

The voice from before arrived. Surprised, she turned around and saw him offering her a water bottle.

Illya was stunned by his actions. Yesterday, he slapped his brother and because of this they plotted against them trying to teach them a lesson by hiring thugs, his partner almost smashed her into meat patties, and yet, he was helping her.

She didn\'t speak anything but took the water bottle. She sniffed the water to check if there was any poison or drugs in it.

After confirming it was clean, she washed her mouth with the water.

Orpheus watched everything with a smile and a few moments later, he introduced himself.

"I\'m Kyle Blake and she is Lily Emea Luxuria," Orpheus pointed to Lily who was standing on the edge of the crater with a dangerous smile on her lips. She was unsatisfied but this should be enough as a payback Lily consoled herself.

Completing their introduction, he asked, "If you don\'t mind, can you tell me what just happened?"

Orpheus\'s hint was obvious as his eyes moved to the dead bodies not too far from them.

He was looking at her with a bewildered expression; wondering why they got attacked and the siblings were watching.

Illya listened to his question but didn\'t answer. She was far too embarrassed to respond and scared.

She couldn\'t believe she plotted against one of the famous goddesses, the princess from the Luxuria family, even her family wouldn\'t protect her if something were to happen to this white-haired lady.

\'Shit! I\'m in trouble.\' Illya thought with her head lowered.
