Luna POV:
I Lost it.
For the first time in my life, I feel such rage within me, demanding to be released upon anyone who dared to wake it up. I was always calm, always with steel nerves, yet right now I am barely restraining myself from just ripping her to shreds. There's no words capable enough to convey my feelings, to say just how badly I want to hurt her. Just thinking of her makes my blood boil, my reasoning fade away, leaving only primal instincs and a simple thought of getting rid of her as fast as possible, to get rid of any threat to my family.
"There will be nothing left of you monster. Just how stupid someone can be, making you wear maid clothes? Idiocy, or is it a fetish your pervert of a master has? Doesn't matter, the moment you threated my dearest was the moment you signed a death warrant. Your executor will be... ME!"
"WHaT dId YoU saY, You LItTLe bITcH?!" Looks like she finally gave up pretending and used her normal voice.
"I'lL kILl You!"
"Evileye! Help your comrades and stay behind protecting them, I will make this a painfull remidner for her."
I jumped at the maid. First let's measure her, then I will teach her how helpless she is, how big of a mistake she made by angering me. She flinched, propably not expecting my speed and jumped to the side barely evadeing my charge at her. Good, she's slower than anticipated. I don't want to test her strength, on her arm is a Thousand Lash Bug and while it's not enough to harm me, Gagaran is held captive at a huge spheres hearth, formed with this bugs long body.
"I'll squash you flat with your friend! Damn woman!" Saying this she used the Thousand Lash Bug like a flail and tried smashing me with it, how boring.
[Fly]
After casting the fly spell I moved to the incoming ball. Evileye has seen this and unexpectedly waited. Is she trusting me or is it her plan? Nevermind let's stop and focus on battle.
[Reverse gravity]
Looking back I see Evileye casted a spell, so that was her plan, fine. The Thousand Lash Bug in a moment released Gagaran. Good, while the maid can be resistant to some spells, her summons are not.
"Good job Evileye, Take her and stay behind, leave everything else to me."
"Fine, but if something happends I will interfere!"
Let's go at it for good!
"So, maid, you should show some resistance now, otherwise killing you will be a simple execution in my eyes. "
Taunting a monster, hah how ridiculous. Such a beings always take the bait, no matter what.
"You insufferable trash! I will make your death as painful as possible, you will watch as those behind are eaten alive, you will see despair, inferior life form!" Rage filled her voice as she bared her throat showing what is propably her true face and with a sound resembling vommiting, released a mass swarm of flies. So a Bug mask? Truly, she's a Players creation.
"You! Is that power--"
"Evileye! Don't interfere!"
Still insanely smiling under my mask. I flied to a standstill high in the sky and shouted.
[Widen magic: Mana needles]
Soon a 5 meter magic circle appeared right before my whole body and out of it a mass of needles. This is one ony my class magic spells, only avaible to someone with ancient blood. This spell casts a single needle per enemy, and while not strong for single opponents, the more enemies there is, the more it damage it deals.
I watched from my position as the swarm of flies is pierced with needles and drops down. A single needle went right at the maids mask. While unlucky that my spells doesn't count insects entomamancers wear, it still shot a single one right at her, getting rid of the Bug Mask.
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!"
Roared the maid, the needle propably did some damage to her hp and dealt a painful blow. Not giving her any pause I casted another spell.

"Aaaaaargh"
"Pu, puuny humansss!" Hissed the maid, reavealing her insectoid face, just like a spider.
"Hehe, the real battle is about to begin!"
The insects back swelled up, and four longs legs sprouted from under her clothes. It looks like she is wearing spider legs as a backpack.
She used these sprouted legs to leap forward. Thankfully I'm above her, because normal people might get startled with these movments.
Once again the monster used [Fly breath]. Not giving her a chance I used mana needles once more.
"You! I have only you to fear! Once you're dead everything will be simple! Die already!
Haha, this insect thinks she can fight me evenly.
"Let me show you true despair!"
[Maximize Magic: Dragon Lightning]
A dragon shaped lightning shot out at the monster.
She roared in pain as it hit her, forcing a response in her jaw with all her strenght available, she spewed a stream of silk like web at me. Razor webbing is it?
I cannot evade it while Evileye and her teammates are behind me, while at the same time I cannot defend myself without giving too much about me away. These thoughts were in my mind, while I was flying closer to my allies as to give myself more time to think.
----------------------------------------
Evileye POV:
Luna's fight definitely shows power equal to at leats that of adamantite rank. I'm worried nonetheless, what did she mean at the beginning? Is she so infatuated with me, that she cannot think straight if someone threatens me? We will have to talk about it later. I can only hope this power didn't cost her too much.
"Shorty! Is it that kid from the inn fighting there?" Gagaran asked me with a disbellieving tone.
"Who are you calling shorty!? Yes, it is the same person, her name is Luna. Keep healing Tia, but you can propably think of her as our new party member. Now focus we will talk later."
"Wh-What do you mean new member?" Asked Tia in pain as Gagaran slowly healed her wounds.
"Shut up and rest. Lakyus agreed to accept her to Blue Roses if shes strong enough."
Watching the fight I was overcome with possible research with Luna, so powerfull were her spells. Dragon Lightning? which tier is this spell from? This thought crossed my mind as the insect maid released some kind of silk attack. Oddly Luna started flying closer to us. Is it possible that she focuses on evading, which is impossible with her behind us?
"Gagaran do it faster I will help Luna."
"Didn't she say to not interfere?"
"She's behaving oddly, and I suspect she doesn't have many spells to defend and focuses evading which is impossible because of us. I will be back shortly"
[Fly]
Finally in the air I moved as fast as I could to block whatever it is the monster released and tell Luna to not worry about us.
[Crystal Wall]
----------------------------------------
Luna POV:
[Crystal Wall]
"Evileye!?"
As a crystal wall sprotued right before me, I looked back to see Evileye almost near me. I don't like it, while I'm gratefull for help, I'm angry that I couldn't do it by myself.
"Luna, don't worry about us. We're almost good to go. I won't interfere more, just know that I will protect them so focus on your fight with her."
Hah, she got me here, exactly what I need. Focusing once again on my enemy ahead of me I couldn't stop myself from asking.
"How about we begin your execution monster? Come play with me!"
[Twin Maximize Magic: Magic Arrow]
The maid moaned in pain as two magic arrow hit her in the ribs. The damage was done and I'm sure she was weakening with every spell that hit her. Still trying to resist she leaped at me with all her speed. With me barely evading when she got close enough, to any person looking from the side it would look like me playing a game of tag with her.
"Is this everything you've got? Try harder!" I kept taunting her and it worked. Once again she fired her sharp web. This time I could evade it easily as there was nobody behind me.
[Maximize Magic: Lightning]
Once again lightning left my hands and once again she wasn't able to escape thanks to the small distance, making it impossible to evade.
"Was everything you said for show? Where is any proof to your words? You can just lie down and die by your own hands. At least this way you got to kill someone, or in this case yourself!"
----------------------------------------
This farce of a battle that it was for me continued. Everything she did was useless. I laughed at her every moment possible, infuriating her with each word leaving my mouth. Now she resembles what she is a lowly insect beneath my feet. While I don't have anything against heteromorphic races, she infuriates me.
"Any last words?" My tone was deadly and unnecessary cruel as I walked to the maid. Her form laying on the ground, still trying to stand up, to give any resistanc. Still alive making chriping noises. Sadly I'm done with her.
My body froze for a moment as a man appeared before me. Time stop? Well...
"Shit"
"I believe that will be all for now" Said the newcomer dressed in a suit and a mask. The most noticable feature however was the tail sprouting from his waist.
"Oi, He a friend of yours kid?" Shouted Gagaran behind me.
"No"
That was all I could say, my mind racing with possible scenarios to get them out of here and if possible to not reveal myself.
"--Are you alright? Allow me to take care of things from now on. You should go back and rest"
This guy didn't seem to care about me or the others battle-ready behind me
"Luna!--"
"I know!" I interrupted what Evileye wanted to say. The best thing possible is to take it outside.
"Evileye! Run away! Stop looking at me like I sprouted a second head, you don't stand a chance. Get out of here as soon as possible! RUN!"
"What about you!? You're just a kid!" Gagaran didn't want to leave me behind it seems.
"Not now Gagaran trust me! Leave it to her, she will come back. You know where to go after this, I will wait there!" Evileye reasoned with her teammates and luckily they did as she told and started running right away.
"I Apologize for keeping you waiting. Now then, since we do not have much time for this, let us begin right away"
Looks like time is up and Evileye is still here. Now I have to protect her while at the same time not reveal to much. Why is it that life always wants to take away every good moment from me right after experiencing it. Life is cruel, but I will make it better, even if I my actions tonight will force me to fight the whole world alone or for her. I will do it. Nothing will Happen to her. I won't allow it.
