“Hehe! Little sis, you’re fifty years too young to triumph over me in any shape or form. Maybe you should think of learning a weapon first before dreaming of beating me.” Vex’s revelation and the newcomer’s comment made me almost certain that she was one of Black Fang’s other direct disciples. She was said to be the master of three, so it was possible.
“My fists are more than enough.” The woman decreed arrogantly.
Vex snickered but didn’t press further; “sure-sure.”
Their exchange was playful, though it was only Vex who was in a joking mood. The black-haired woman was entirely serious and clearly very prideful.
It looks like Black Fang expected something and had this newcomer follow us in secret. I was extremely dissatisfied and would be leaving the Consortium if I and my team were used as bait. However, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt for now, though, since expecting that Black Fang planned for Soren’s betrayal was reaching too far for my liking. Maybe she just sent this sexy woman because we were entering her enemy’s territory. Better safe than sorry, as they say.
“Raika ’The Brutalizer’. I’ve been wanting to fight you for a while now.” Draven announced.
Raika was kind of a cute name to go along with her ultra-badass title, but who am I to judge?
“I’ll then be taking the hag with the oversized needle.” Vex announced cheerily, earning an annoyed scoff from the woman in question.
Wait, are we expected to beat the final boss ourselves or what? freewebnovel
In the next moment, my question was answered when a miniature plant erupted from the ground next to Vex.
“Ah… She’s also here. The first disciple…” Mordecai cursed under his breath.
She? This small plant is a woman? Like a dryad?
It began as a small bud that was no larger than a fingertip. Its petals were of a beautiful pink color with veins of white. In just a moment it began to grow rapidly as it stretched and unfolded with a supernatural elegance.
The flower then began expanding with impossible speed with its petals unfurling layer by layer. It grew taller and wider by the milliseconds. The once miniature flower was now taller than even me. It was a massive, blossoming marvel that held the battlefield in awe.
Next, its stem began thickening and twisting while forming the silhouette of a humanoid figure encased within its bloom.
Holy shit… This creature within the plant was emerging from the earth below and traversing up through the roots into the stem, and then to the flower head… This was one fancy way to teleport, that’s for sure.
It might sound like she was vulnerable during the process, but it only took a few moments from start to finish, and the plant didn’t seem to be feeble at all. I bet it could withstand some good hits.
With a final radiant flare, the petals peeled back to reveal a woman stepping out gracefully from within.
Damn, Black Fang is surrounded by absolute bombshells. Now I’m truly curious to see how the big boss herself looks. I wonder if the master was outshone by her disciples in the beauty department or if she is some truly otherworldly woman, as she would have to be a near-divine entity to have a fighting chance against this trio.
I turned my attention to the newest arrival. The girl sported a very delicate appearance, being by far the most fragile-looking of the three disciples.
She had gorgeous pink hair and her head was adorned with intricate floral ornaments as well as colorful ribbons. Her attire was beautifully patterned. It was an oriental-style robe featuring floral motifs, flowing sleeves, and a decorative belt tied at her waist.
However, her robe opened up above her waist, revealing her gorgeous, fair-skinned back that was tattoed just like Raika’s, though it featured other depictions. Her gaze was intense and her posture exuded extreme grace.

Once she fully emerged the enormous plant began to wither. The vibrant green of the stem faded and the petals shriveled and curled in on themselves. After which it all collapsed into dust as though the flower had expended every ounce of vitality to bring her here. In seconds, what had been a magnificent blossom was nothing but brittle remains scattered around her feet, leaving only the woman standing there who was radiating an aura of pure magic.
“You sure know how to make an entrance, sis!”
“Vex, stop joking around. We can’t afford to be careless in front of our enemies.”
“Yes, mom!”
“Sigh…”
Mordekai spoke up next. “Orianna, also known as the ’Flower Queen’. Black Fang’s most trusted and strongest subordinate. It’s been a while.”
The pink-haired extreme beauty, evidently called Orianna, nodded calmly without emotions on her petite features. “Indeed. I see that you’ve become even less of a human over the past few decades. What did you do to yourself this time around?”
Mordecai snickered while shrugging his shoulders. “Oh, just the usual, you know. My last experiment saw me capturing a hundred teenage elf virgin females, whom I let my war trolls ravage to their heart’s contents. While they were in the act I continuously extracted the elves’ tears that were filled with feelings of overwhelming hatred towards myself for some odd reason. Then I brought in the healers who repaired their broken bodies so that the act could be repeated every day for a few years until I finally had enough tears. The remainder of the story is just alchemy, so I won’t bore you with it.”
“… What?” Aurora questioned under her breath. As an Alchemist she was probably the most disgusted by what this creature had done. Well, save for Ambition and her elves who were ready to dash at him but Seraphiel, Ayame, Lucille, and I held them back. Interestingly my gorgeous Healer wasn’t overly angry at the man.
Orianna shook her head with clear disappointment. “I see that you’re still the proud little kid who likes to brag about his stupid experiments. Isn’t it time for you to finally grow up?”
“Kekeke! I refuse!” Mordecai’s energetic shout was interrupted by numerous vines emerging from the ground.
