Meanwhile, while Alex and the girls were facing different situations in another location, another Incursio cursed as she cut down another monster.
Piled up in front of her were monsters' corpses; it wasn't one type of monster; instead, there were different types, Black Goblin, Orc, Lizardmen, and Ogre. All those dead monsters had one thing in common, their necks twisted into an unnatural angle, their heart crushed; it was ruthless; however, Incursio didn't care kept cursing.
''Shit! What with this dungeon? My strength is reduced apart from the bracelet sealing some of it. And to make matters worse, I'm separated from those bugs; they can't do well without me. Tch! And monsters keep attacking me nonstop; it's annoying.'' Incursio spat and calmly dodged another monster attack, this time it was Wind wolf; the Rank 7 wolf froze in the air, not understanding what was happening; before the Wind wolf could ponder why its body defied gravity, Incursio approached and put one of her fingers on its head and,
Boom!
The Wind wolf's head exploded; strangely, the brain's matter and blood didn't touch Incursio's body.
''Hah! I hope they are doing well.'' Incursio said as she glared at the incoming pack, the Wind wolves pack, twelve Wind wolves with glowed red eyes; they couldn't wait to tear apart this human girl.
As if she could read what they were thinking through their eyes, Incursio couldn't help but feel a little amused as the corners of her mouth perked up. She would have a bit of fun before joining the others.
•••••
At the same time, Sakuya and Lilith continued to search for the exit for the next floor; they walked deeper into the forest, encountered monster after monster; it was not easy, but they killed them without wasting too much energy.
Suddenly, Lilith stopped and glared in a certain direction, her killing intent soared, and Sakuya, who was walking beside her, noticed this.
''What's g-" Sakuya stopped as she understood why Lilith behaved like this; coming from the other side were two individuals; one wore a white mask with a creepy looking eye on it while the other wore a simple robe with the same eye on it.
For an unknown reason, Sakuya had a strange feeling when she saw the man with a mask, it was as if she knew him somewhere, but because of the mask hiding his face, it's hard to tell.
Lilith must know the man for her to react like this could mean the two have fought once.
''Princess, how are you since our last meeting?" The man with the white mask asked; he was first to open his mouth; his voice was strange, almost as he didn't wish for the other party to know his identity. Sakuya chuckled, finding the situation interesting; the man with a crooked back was completely ignored as he had never existed.
''I'm fine, Leonardo,'' Lilith responded with a smile; however, her killing intent didn't diminish in the slightest.
Sakuya was so shocked that her body stopped for a moment. It was understandable; she never knew that Leonardo had joined the dark side; she thought that maybe he went off somewhere to train and challenge Alex later, not that he would do something so ridiculous.
''Sigh! As I thought you did it.'' Leonardo said with a resigned voice; he removed his mask, letting Sakuya see his face; she only chuckled.
''How have you been?" Leonardo asked and finally looked at Sakuya for the first time since his arrival.
Sakuya shrugged her shoulders to say I'm fine. Leonardo wasn't shocked by this reaction as it was how Sakuya interacted with him; just as he wanted to say something, the figure of Lilith standing thirty meters blurred, and she arrived before him, she slashed at him.
''Sigh! You're too hasty.'' Leonardo said while calmly blocking the sword slash.
Kiin!
Sparks flew as the two moved around and clashed nonstop. At the same time, Third and Sakuya stared at each other before moving.
[Ïai Giri!!!]
Sakuya didn't hold back and sent dozen of attacks at Third, who was coming toward her, and as she expected, Third was able to deal with her Iaï Slash easily; however, Sakuya was prepared she unleashed her second attack.
[Wind Tornado]
Because her strength was reduced, the original Wind tornado couldn't exhibit its true strength; nevertheless, it was still dangerous as it destroyed trees and closed in; facing the incoming Wind tornado, Third stopped; his fists glowed before he emitted a cry.
''Hahhh!"
And punched the wind tornado, then something astonishing happened, the tornado was scattered.
Third felt a presence behind his back, and before he could turn around, Sakuya's voice reached his ears.
[Thirteen Patterns]
She moved her katana at incredible speed thirteen Gale slashes were sent; they covered Third's back instantly. Sakuya was sure that this attack would work. Unfortunately, she had miscalculated, Third had anticipated this, and like a mirage, he vanished; the area darkened as if night had arrived. Sakuya felt a creeping feeling assaulting her; she immediately closed her eyes, but it was already too late, her head shook, and she stood frozen on the spot. Third's special ability was a mental type. He would trick his opponent until ready to assault them mentally before finishing them when caught inside his little illusion.
At the moment Sakuya appeared in a traditional Japanese building, she knew this building pretty, with a shaking hand, she slid the door open and entered, a familiar scene greeted her sight, a man sat on a couch with his back facing her, the numerous scars and the Yakuza tattoo was a statement of the man's identity.
As if he noticed her arrival without turning around, the man said.
''Mio, you came back!"
Sakuya froze, and tears started falling; she knew pretty well that this was a dream and yet hearing this voice, seeing this back brought back too many emotions; some deeply buried emotions resurfaced.
'Even though it's just an illusion, please let me feel it, at least for a while.' Sakuya mumbled as she took a step forward and kneeled.
''I'm back, Father..'' She said.
