Noah who was clashing on the air against Reyne, had a clear view of the previous scene, needless to say but he had an unsightly expression at how Sarah casually killed two enemies with a higher realm than hers, and also reduced the power of a third one, by forcing the swordsman hobgoblin to cut off his own arm

That being said, he didn't understand why the swordsman cut off his own arm, until he saw the severed limb melt, before it even fell to the ground, it had turned into a viscous puddle of black liquid, bones, flesh and even armor included.

Sarah didn't bother to hide the fact that she could use poison, since she had already used it before to melt the shield of a defense type goblin quite a few rooms before, the hobgoblins already knew it.

But that didn't mean they could do anything about it, and that was only poison applied to the needles by the crazy girl previously, she had yet to use her battle aura and had been fighting using the needles and her raw physical strength so far.

"Don't let then regroup!", shouted Noah, unaware that he just fell in Daimon's trap.

From the very beginning, he didn't intend to steal the prey of those two, but that's something that the soon dead to be enemies didn't need to know, in fact this worked in their favor, because that would put more pressure on the hobgoblins and the Ghouls who weren't engaging in close combat.

As they would be under the misinterpretation that Daimon, Sarah and Reyne even needed to join hands to kill all of them... when that wasn't the case.

"Aghh!", Noah suddenly felt a huge amount of pressure coming from his hand, it was only a fraction of a second but he faltered in the clash he was having against Reyne, and the layer of blood battle aura he had applied on his weapon was burned by her fire battle aura.

And in a purely physical clash, Noah was taken by surprise at the fact that Reyne had the upper hand, resulting in him being forced backwards all the way to the other side of the room.

In fact, he had to stab his sword on the ground to dimmish the impulse, otherwise he would have been smacked against the wall, Reyne's image flashed and the next second she was already standing in front of Noah, holding her knight's lance as if it was a sword, her wielding technique was quite unusual to say the less, but it seemed to perfectly counter Noah's family's technique.

"You should worry about yourself, aunt Emily taught me all the techniques of all the noble families, her father didn't go down until he killed at least one direct descendant of each noble lineage after all, all for when this time came", she said as she flashed towards Noah who had an expression of disbelief on his face.

"The seeds that traitors who show empathy towards cattle should have been exterminated a long time ago!", he shouted, his previously noble demeanor was nowhere to be seen, instead of that his eyes got bloodshot, in his clan's case, the one who was killed was his mother who tried to sneakily kill Emily's mother, just to be turned into meat cubes and burned until there was nothing left of her, so that regeneration couldn't be performed on them even with the most advanced rituals of blood sacrifice.

Noah's body exploded in a blood red light, before a crimson liquid of the same color was poured out of some secret compartments in his belt, the nearby air was filled with an iron-like smell, which was understandable as that was blood.

That was the ability that only the direct descendants of the Gartner family could use, Blood Enhancement, it was a technique that worked both for defense and offense, allowing the user to burn the blood of other beings to increase the strength of the user's battle aura, which is why all the direct descendants of the Gartner family were knights, who used serrated swords, the idea was to make the enemy bleed and use their blood against themselves, since there was a requirement of them having to be the ones who obtained the blood.

In part that's why Noah's ancestor personally killed Emily's father, since his most talented daughter was killed by him, then he took some of his blood and swore to kill Emily using that blood when the time came, that's how deep the blood feud between them ran.

By the moment Reyne's lance clashed against Noah's serrated sword, the thing had been dyed in a viscous mix of battle aura and blood.

"Clang!", this time the one who was force to step back was Reyne, and that was only the start, Noah followed with another swing of his sword and then another, it was a consecutive assault of fierce slashes, which resulted in metal colliding sounds as well as sparks flying all over the place.

And they weren't the only ones, Daimon and the ogre were also fiercely clashing with each other, the shockwaves created by those four, disrupted the mana in the air and also made both the Ghouls and the hobgoblins feel a certain pressure on their chests, which made it harder for them to breath.

Such was the effect of people whose battle prowess had surpassed the Lord rank, on those who haven't.

'What the hell, I can't even properly aim at them without my vision getting blurry!', inwardly screamed the girl from the church, ultimately, she gave up and decided to change targets to the dark green haired woman who was basically keeping everyone else in check, including her.

Of course as an elite from the church she had no need to chant to cast spells, but in exchange she had to put a certain amount of focus if she wanted to cast a strong spell, and as if the green haired woman could tell when she was about to launch a large area spell, a needle was shot her way, forcing her to either dodge which broke her focus, or change the spell to a water wall, which actually turned pitch black at the moment of contact with the needle, before the water was dissolved.

"Just how poisonous are those things!", shouted the girl from the church as she changed her position once again, though she didn't have a high enough capacity to use light mana to be considered an affinity, she could manipulate light mana around half as much as water mana.

Which is not bad at all, considering that those without the affinity to x element can only manipulate mana from around one to ten percent of the amount that they can of those elements to which they have affinity with.

In other words, though she isn't a dual affinity she can be considered a prodigy, and has the potential to awaken a second affinity with some resources, and a light affinity to top it off, and yet the combination of her defensive water and the cleansing light she was so proud off was being utterly crushed by the poison in those needles.

There were many craters surrounding them, and there was a broken hilt on the ground, which they recognized as it was the weapon that the ogre used, an Arch ranked treasure.

"Urghhhh!", the very moment their eyes landed on that part of the battlefield, they saw the hand of the masked human burn in white flames, followed by the beastly scream of the ogre who was trying to escape, squirming, kicking and punching the enemy which only resulted in the ogre breaking his own bones.

At the same time, a light blue light appeared on the ceiling as the girl from the church finished her spell, making rain fall down in the whole room.

Surprisingly, the wounds on the hobgoblins and the ogre not only didn't cure, but they felt as if salt was rubbed against their live flesh, making them scream and collapse, the wall of flesh created by the Ghoul exploded in light blue flames and a loud scream could be heard coming from behind of it.

As soon as the wall was destroyed, the though still alive, charred Ghoul Call, who was now laying down on the floor, was revealed.

"Y-You what the hell are you doing you bitch!", shouted the Ghoul, the pain was killing him, unfortunately not only he was taken by surprise, since he didn't consider that spell harmful as he was healed by something similar earlier.

But he had also used a lot of mana to keep the wall, because Sarah never stopped attacking it to keep them under pressure, so he bathed in that rain thinking it will relieve his fatigue only burned by it.

"Even if our forces are allied, ultimately, I'm a human, and I don't have any intention on becoming a filthy creature like you, I can't die with you beasts here", coldly said the girl as she stabbed the Ghoul with a silver dagger she had hid in her dress.

At the same time, a limbless body fell from air, crashing against the ground, the wounds were cauterized and while the person was still breathing, his eyes were rolled backwards, as it was at the verge of dying, it was none other than Noah.

Reyne graciously landed next to it and stabbed her lance on Noah's body, making it shrink as the lance slowly dyed red, she nodded at Daimon while she sweetly smiled, she was obviously in a good mood.

That being said, Sarah who appeared behind the remaining mage and the swordsman, to casually twists their necks, killing them on the spot, wasn't any worse, she was stealing gazes at Daimon from time to time with a slightly flushed expression.

'Ahh, I nearly...', her weird train of thought was interrupted, when she saw the girl from the church smiling at Daimon as she walked towards him.

"This young master was able to use one of the "keys", meaning you should be a man among man, I'm the daughter of Cardinal Ely, would you be willing to form a contract for mutual benefits, as you can see, I won't slow you down, I was ordered to enter this place against my will", she said with a mellow voice, as she rose the sides of her dress like a proper lady, while also giving Daimon a glimpse of her thighs and legs.

To no one's surprise, a fake notification was triggered at the very end of her words.

[A nice young lady has requested amnesty, as a hero you are obliged to listen and protect her from any harm]

The girl inwardly smiled at the fact that the masked man in front of her was thinking about it, because she could feel the murderous gazes of the two girls that were accompanying him.

'Heh, you stupid bitches don't know how to handle a man, sit on the bench and let me...'.

The disdainful thoughts of the woman were interrupted at she felt a burning sensation on her neck, she looked downwards just to see a needle piercing it, next there was the tip of a lance coming out of her chest from behind, and that wasn't all, there was a sword made out of white flames stabbing her stomach.

"I don't have time to lose in Adam's whores, or whatever you are, right now", he said in a voice that only the girl from the church could hear.

She didn't even have the time to scream, before her body dried, melted and finally burned into thin ashes that disappeared not too long after.

"That was unnecessary", said Daimon just to see both Sarah and Reyne smiling at him.

"She was wasting everyone's time", said Reyne.

"Whoever wrote that "thing" has a really bad taste~", playfully said the crazy girl referring to the notification qualifying that girl as a "nice young lady".

Daimon chuckled, he then snapped his fingers and the drops of water that fell on them were instantly evaporated, neither Sarah or Reyne even thought of resisting and simply allowed the white flames of Daimon to remove the water from that girl's spell from their bodies.

To begin with, he didn't need an "outsider" to mess up with his team, so though there was space for four survivors, only three were going to be used, not to mention not even a single word that woman uttered was truth and that spell was used for torture, it was meant to produce an insane amount of pain by mixing something in a water healing spell, it was done so the interrogation could continue indefinitely, of the victim was about to faint then the healing spell would kick in, it could be activated at will too, which is why it took the girl so much time to cast it.

There was a chance that in the next room they met Adam, so the girl was preparing the stage for him to win, though Daimon noticed some interesting things about the current situation.

Reyne who was all smiles right now, casually stabbed all the bodies on the battlefield with her spear, to be sure, while the crazy girl stuck to Daimon like bubblegum, surprisingly he didn't stop her from doing so, naturally a notification was triggered as they killed that girl, but they ignored it.

Once Reyne stabbed Noah who was still alive, the door from which the goblins came opened, while the one from which the Ghouls came crumbled apart.
