In the room used for communication.

Shirley was holding Karina, who was unable to move, as illusory spirits of their small companions surrounded them.

“So, is something big going to happen?”

After hearing Shirley’s report, everyone thought deeply.

The gravity of the situation was clear from the deplorable state of both of them.

Shirley, who was one of the most powerful in combat among them, had her battle armor destroyed, nearly losing her life, while Karina was attacked by surprise and is now completely out of action.

Shirley sighed, and her left eye was still covered by a black eyepatch, which had a black skull drawn on it, although it was much more refined than the previous one.

After all, now that Karina couldn’t move, it was Delia who drew this skull.

“Don’t worry about Karina’s combat strength; I have a way to restore it. Now, the most important issue is how to face the even more severe crisis that might arise,” said Shirley.

“We are all very far apart, and the tribe’s elite combat strength is scattered, which seems ideal for the enemy to attack us one by one…” said Rosamund.

It was true, and a fact almost impossible to change.

As the icy lands of the far north where she lived were at a considerable distance from the far south, where Shirley was, one would need to cross the entire continent to get there.

If any danger occurred, it would be impossible to provide assistance.

Moreover, they not only had to consider themselves but also the well-being of the entire tribe.

And there were tribal legacies that could not be moved…

Like the Fairy Lake, essential for the survival of the fairies.

Without its waters, this species could quickly decline, and in severe cases, even become extinct.

And for the Noma clan, who lived in the depths of the ocean, leaving the sea was impossible...

With all this in mind, it seemed they couldn’t gather and would have to fight on their own.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

“Perhaps we should gather with those who are closest, to help each other,” suggested Zoe.

“That could work,” Shirley nodded.

“So, it’s settled: I, Karina, and Nicole will stay together, Zola, Zoe, and Sylvia in another group, and Tiffany with Rosamund. As for Noma, she should find a way to hide in the ocean depths and try to move her tribe to a more southern position.”

Shirley organized the groups based on the characteristics of each tribe.

The safest group was hers, and the most vulnerable was Noma’s.

The Noma clan needed to live underwater, so if the enemy didn’t notice them, they would be in a safe position.

But if the enemy detected them and had strong underwater combat abilities, it would be problematic.

Among them, only Tiffany maintained full combat capacity underwater.

However, the land was still more dangerous, so Shirley sent Tiffany to the icy far north to assist Rosamund.

“So now we prepare to move?” asked Tiffany.

Since they had already made plans, it was time to act, as they didn’t know when the enemy would strike.

However, Shirley shook her head.

“These preparations are still insufficient…”

Having faced an enemy of such destructive power, Shirley knew these preparations were not guaranteed.

“Have the tribes with lower combat power begin the move, while the stronger ones…”

“Will attack the human world!”

“Why…?” Everyone was confused and surprised.

Why invade the human world now?

With a cold smile, Shirley explained, “Because the enemy is a ‘god,’ upon arriving in this world, he will certainly seek to gather the power of faith. And you all know the current situation of this world… So, we need to reduce the number of humans before he can do so.”

“But won’t that make the humans even more devout?” Sylvia asked.

“Hmm… That depends on how many humans we kill… If only one remains, how devout can their faith be?”

“Oh! So, we’re starting a hunting game now?” Tiffany and the others appeared excited.

“Yes… Gather the tribes and prepare to hunt humans!”

“But be careful: don’t send important members to the hunt, as they might risk being completely wiped out…”

Shirley declared these cruel words without showing emotion.

And upon hearing this, no one showed surprise, as if everything was absolutely normal.

“If that’s the case, let’s compete to see who kills the most, because whoever kills the least is only helping the enemy!”

“Of course, whoever is first in the number of hunts can serve as my personal bodyguard…”

After thinking for a moment, Shirley realized her clan had no advantage in numbers or in group hunting, so she changed her proposal.

“Tsk, how stingy…”

After a brief complaint, all the illusory spirits disappeared, leaving Shirley and Karina in the room.

After a few moments of silence, Karina, a bit worried, asked, “What’s the method to regain my combat strength?”

Since the mysterious demon pierced Shirley’s left eye until they were transported back to the castle, the two had not been separated, but Karina did not know how Shirley could help her.

“This…”

Shirley instinctively touched the eyepatch over her left eye.

With the power of this item, she could restore Karina’s body.

And those disturbing voices would also be silenced.

Shirley never imagined this item hid such an ability…

This made the identity of the spiritual doll even more mysterious.

However, it seemed she had no other choice…

If she and Karina didn’t regain their combat strength, it would be disastrous for the outsiders.

“Karina, close your eyes.”

“Huh? Close my eyes for what?”

“Just close your eyes!”

Saying this, Shirley covered Karina’s eyes with her hand.

And then, with the other hand, lifted the eyepatch covering her left eye…
