Soon, Tiana released those warriors from her Ice.
It was then Christina realized that Tiana's Ice was barely affected by her Golden Flames. It startled her greatly.
She knew that her Golden Flames were far beyond the ordinary. How could Tiana's Ice Element be stronger than her Golden Flames?!
Tiana didn't think much about this situation. Her physique had been transformed by Azaroth. It was only natural that her Ice Element would be superior to Christina's Golden Flames.
Tiana glared at those warriors and coldly spoke, "Tell us what we want to know. Or else you can suffer Christina's wrath. This time, I won't protect you."
These warriors had lived through death's horror. They have no intention of going through that again!
"W-We are willing to tell you everything we know." A warrior spoke out for his fellow comrades.
"Who asked you to create trouble for the Black Lake Sect?" Tiana asked with a deadly calm voice.
"…It was Red Crown Sect disciples," One of the warriors spoke with a fearful tone.
Tiana raised her brow in response while Christina was about to blow up. She whispered with a dangerous tone, "It really was that Red Crown Sect?!"
"We want names of the disciples. Not the sect. If you don't have the names, then their appearance," Tiana spoke with a composed tone.
One of the warriors ahead of Tiana responded, "…We don't know their names, but we can describe their appearances."
"Christina," Tiana turned towards her friend and then instructed her, "Get some Array masters to draw the appearance of these Red Crown Sect's disciples."
Christina was so startled as she received those instructions that she could only nod with a blank expression on her face.
~~
After an hour, the drawings of the appearances of those Red Crown Sect disciples were finished.
Once those drawings were finished, Tiana spoke to Christina, "Now, let's go and meet up with the Red Crown Sect."
One of Black Lake Sect's disciples asked curiously, "What should we do about these troublemakers?"
Even Christina was looking at Tiana for instructions. Tiana thought for some moments before she spoke, "Don't harm them, for now. Keep them restrained."
"…Alright, you heard her! Get to work now!" Christina looked at her subordinates and ordered them.
Soon, Christina and Tiana were on a walk to the Red Crown Sect's Booths.
After 30 minutes of walk, they reached the location.
Tiana took out the posters depicting the look of the Red Crown Sect's disciples. She showed these posters to a few Red Crown Sect disciples near her position and asked them, "Do you know who he is?"
The guy who was asked this question was startled when he saw a woman wearing a veil asking him this question. He then looked at Christina, and his eyes shone with fiery excitement.
Christina possessed a unique charm to her beauty. It was more than enough to captivate the heart of most men. Clearly, this guy was in that category as well.
Tiana felt slightly reassured when she saw the expression in this guy's eyes. Since this guy was fascinated by Christina's appeal, he was sure to make every effort to aid and impress her.
The guy's expression changed slightly as he noticed whose appearance was drawn on that poster.
"Ehh…Isn't this Brother Fotis? That's Yannis. And Miron too…."
The guy slowly named all the names on the 5 posters in Tiana's hands.
Christina and Tiana were sure that these were the Red Crown Sect's disciples.
'There are three possibilities. First is that those guys lied to us and drew the appearance of these disciples to fool us. Second would be that Elias deceived us. And third, these Red Crown Sect disciples acted on someone else's orders.' Tiana believed.
"Alright. Thank you for your help. Can you lead us to Elias Callides's resting place?" Tiana asked him politely.
The guy immediately spoke out, "Yup! Follow me!"
While the two followed that guy to Elias Callides's resting place, Christina asked Tiana, "What's going on? Is the Red Crown Sect really responsible, or is the true perpetrator someone else? I am so confused."
"Just relax. I will find the true perpetrator for you. You only need to stay ready to slug them. Isn't that what you prefer anyway?" Tiana asked Christina with a smirk.
"Yup! Beating people is so simple!" Christina responded with a delighted expression.
"…Yes, it sure is," Tiana agreed while resisting the urge to facepalm.
After nearly 10 or so minutes, they were at the location Elias Callides had his house set up.
Tiana handed over a couple of Spirit Coins to that guy. The man gazed at Christina one last time before he walked away.
After he was gone, Tiana looked at Christina and whispered to him, "Barge inside and get Elias! I will wait outside."
Christina had a big smile on her face as if she had been handed her favorite treat. She loved the task assigned to her.
Immediately, there was a reddish aura around Christina's body as she barged inside Elias's personal cabin.
The other Red Crown Sect disciples were startled to hear that loud sound. They looked in Tiana's direction and saw a woman standing ahead of that destroyed door.
Meanwhile, Elias was resting on his bed. As soon as he sensed a strong aura approaching him, he stood up and prepared to face his foe.
He showed a shocked look as she saw it was Christina.
"W-What is the meaning behind this?!" He inquired of Christina. Christina, on the other hand, instead of responding, launched a fist at his face.
Elias raised his arm to guard his face, but once Christina's fist collided with his arm, he showed a shocked expression as a crackling sound could be heard.
'What the?! She broke my arm even with my guard on?! Just how strong has she become?!' Elias knew he wasn't Christina's match, but he had never thought the rift was wide.
Christina wasn't even using her Golden Flames. Yet, she could suppress him so effortlessly!
A moment later, Elias crashed into the walls of his cabin before he was seen flying in the street.
Once Elias's body landed on the ground, Tiana made her move as well. His lower body was frozen solid by her.
Christina jumped out of the cabin and noticed that Tiana had already restrained Elias.
"Elias Callides. I believe you owe us an explanation." Tiana spoke while throwing the posters towards Elias.
Elias used his Ardor to make those posters levitate in the air. He immediately recognized the faces depicted on the posters.
"What about them?" He asked while trying to keep his voice calm.
Meanwhile, the other Red Crown Sect disciples had gathered around as they saw this scene.
They couldn't believe Elias Callides had been restrained by these two unknown women.
A few of them recognized Christina, but Tiana's appearance was unknown to most of them.
"What are you doing to our Senior Brother?!" One of them shouted at Christina and Tiana.
