Seeing the unknown people Zipp prepares to spring with a savage growl, canine teeth are uncovered, and the ears pressed close backwards on the head. A hearing threatening growl unconsciously people took step back despite its coming from dog looks like about to drop on the ground in moments.

Waken up from her feverish hunger by Zipp's growl Leona staring at her right arms reduced nothing but pure white bone.

"Fuck! small after effect my ass."

Leona couldn’t help but mutter out swear towards the mad doctor who once said he found a perfect solution against her cursed blood and put her under his own experiment, observing flesh of her arms regenerating in insane pace.

*Grrr!*

Hearing Zipp's growl again, Leona moved her head towards the direction of the sound and found many people staring at her. Checking her surroundings, she found out that she standing in front of the subway station, she disappeared in the first place.

But she noticed many people surrounding her along with weirdly dressed people standing right in front of her, immediately a chill ran down her spine as thinking she fell into another twisted game of the being.

Didn't I ripped and crushed that thing's heart along with its soul? How come it's alive after that. Shit! but first I need to get out this nightmare quickly before I became part of it.

*Thunk!*

With loud sound after stabbing her claymore in the ground quickly, Leona puts her left hand on Zipp's head while removing its leash, preparing him to attack any moment she gave a command. Then she moves her right hand towards her belt under the rag like a robe and pulls out a steel lantern.

Noticing the unknown person clearly preparing for the fight Kage and his wives took their combat stance to battle against the unknown person.

"Should we call reinforcement from HQ ?"

Unsheathing her sword, Rose asked from Walker.

"Wait! let's observe her bit longer."

"Her? how do you know this person's gender ?"

Rose couldn't fully believe Walker words despite knowing as a special agent of Hero Association he possesses skill called 'Identity'. That is because air and equipment of this unknown person own. At first usually, any kind of female returns from another world she became more beautiful and feminine due energy and skills she acquired from another world.

Even she became a warrior, she will become something closer to a female knight that accompanying Kage not become this unknown person surrounded by this much bloodlust and eats its own flesh.

As Rose and Walker continue to observe the unknowns woman, they saw she pushes the small lever on side of steel lantern opening shutters. Despite its under the sunlight, an eerie blue light shines through steel lantern's shutters.

As if checking something, a woman has begun to shine lantern's light on surrounding the people. Upon seeing directly at the blue light, unconsciously people stopped their activities and just stood there staring at a light only regains their consciousness after the light moves away. Seeing creepy scenery that people checked by hooded figure one by one Walker decided to interrupt.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

"Rose, let's go meet our new returner."

Calling out his partner Walker walked towards the unknown woman. But at that moment they saw lantern's light becoming more bright when shined on Charlotte the third wife of Kage.

As expected she has some kind of connection to the being

Seeing will o wisp in lantern reacting to the innocent looking girl. Cursing the being's a twisted mind Leona takes her claymore from the ground and walked towards Kage's group.

" Kage, I am scared. "

Noticing the change in lantern's light Charlotte immediately hides behind the Kage in fear from an unknown person.

" Its okay Charlotte we will protect you. "

" Who are you? What do you want from Charlotte ? "

Calming Charlotte down, Kage asked from Leona while enhancing his sword with fiery flame and surrounding himself with armour made of golden coloured energy.

"Wow."

"Look at that flame and armour."

"Not bad"

Seeing Kage's sword and armour made of pure mana everyone is surprised by his skill even genius like Rose couldn't help but praise boy's talent at mana manipulation. Except for one person, or one woman and one animal to be more specific looking towards Kage as if an idiot.

Is he an idiot?. using mana in this place and why are those people not stopping him before calling eldritch monster?. Doesn't he know magic is no use? or did they forgot everything?. well, its no use to question what is going on in that shit's mind.

Giving up for further thinking the reasons Leona decides to finish this quick. But at least she knows that being likes play a mind game with prey so she knows those people are real and not real at the same time if she kills someone then somewhere someone will be killed or their soul will be extinguished and used against her. So chose the most peaceful method.

Giving a command to Zipp to stand by Leona walked towards Kage while preparing her left hand.

*Tap, tap, tap*

"Do you hear me I will not repeat myself!" said Kage prepares to attack Leona.

*Tap tap tap*

"Don't blame me, you bought upon this on yourself," said Kage swung his sword aiming toward Leona's waist.

"Wait! Mr.Kage!"

*Ting!*

"Huh?"

One moment everyone saw Kage's sword vanishes at the moment then they saw now his sword grabbed by Leona's claw-like hand and turned into ordinary sword without any enhancements. With her other hand holding claymore Leona simply stuck Kage's neck with claymore's pommel.

"Wha-HUck!"

Before even realizing what happened. Kage drops on the ground unconscious
