40 An Unfortunate Memory That Needs To Buried Inside The Soul

CHAPTER FORTY – AN UNFORTUNATE MEMORY THAT NEEDS TO BURIED INSIDE THE SOUL

The atmosphere around the guest room changes when these unwanted people saw how Scarlette killed those two of their colleagues with a single blow.

'J-just what happen?!'

'Just a single blow and those two had killed like that?!'

'I know she is powerful based on the rumors and how the Higher Councils describe it to us, but I never expected to this extent!'

'How are we going to kill this woman?!'

As they keep on whispering with each other while stay alert in their surroundings, they could feel the heat inside the room as they saw Scarlette's crimson aura is releasing through her body.

Her crimson-lilac eyes are looking at them one by one with a murderous look.

She stepped on those two lifeless bodies that she killed earlier and without a single utterance from her mouth; she took in the first charge that makes everyone present became alert.

"Get her!"

Ignoring the crimson-like flames coming from the crimson-haired woman as one of them shouted as he charged forward into the fight.

They clash with Scarlette head-on as one of them raised his sword and the crimson-haired woman intercepts the attack by clashing it with her sword.

*BOOM!

*SHIING!

*CLANG!

It had released a burst of energy as Scarlette pushed back the other person and she could feel that there was another attack from her behind.

She avoided it by bending her body and kick that person through its stomach that makes the other fly back further and another person launches its arrow at her and released it.

Scarlette saw this and she catches the arrow using her one hand that was available and reverses it back to its owner while pouring her magic aura on it.

The archer got hit by his own arrow and crimson flames scattered around him, which makes him scream in pain.

The others saw how their companion got hit by an arrow with a fire attribute spell coming from Scarlette as they planned to help him, but the crimson flames didn't let them.

As if the flames had gained sentience.

Not longer than that, the archer stopped screaming as his body collapsed on the floor and the crimson flames disappeared, together with the arrow and it became ashes.

They saw that their colleague's burned corpse in front of them and they charge once again to corner Scarlette while the other is busy fighting with two swordsmen and two spearmen.

*SHIING!

*CLANG!

*SWISH!

The guest room became a total mess as these people keep on fighting Scarlette and the crimson-haired woman didn't want these fights to go on as she thinks of what to do next.

'These people plan to tire me out to catch me off guard! As if I would let that happen!'

She thought as she felt another arrow that was being launched at her and she avoided once again by jumping that high and do a tumbling stunt to avoid those arrows.

After some time had passed, Scarlette withdraws from the battle as she stopped at the corner of the room and panting heavily as she keeps on avoiding and attacking these people.

When they saw her at the corner and panting heavily while facing down, they all smirk as if they got hit a jackpot.

Because they knew that even though she is the strongest person, she couldn't withstand the number of opponents that would attack her continuously.

"Why don't you just surrender to us, Scarlette? No need to continue fighting like this. I respect the strength and power that you showcase to us, but you can't defeat us with only that"

One of them speaks as he marches forward where Scarlette is.

The crimson-haired woman chuckled evilly that made the man stopped his tracks as he felt shivers down to his spine and gulped twice because he could feel the woman's increase of aura that surrounds her.

"Surrender? That is not in my vocabulary"

Scarlette said coldly as she composed herself and stand straight as her crimson-lilac eyes glow once again.

"You have witnessed my strength and power? You've gone blind, aren't you?"

Her voice screams cruelty and vicious, like a poisonous thorn flower in every single word that she said as she walks slowly towards the direction where the enemies are.

All of them shivered as if they were looking at a vicious monster in front of them with human skin.

They lost their will to fight back as her crimson aura increased even more, which makes them suffocate.

Scarlette stopped her tracks, three steps away from her enemies and she lifts her fingers once more as she snapped it and that makes her opponents looked at her with fear and confusion.

Not longer than that, a visible light thread appeared out of nowhere and it scattered around the room, moving on its own.

Scarlette's opponent looked around when they saw those light threads swirling around the area and they could feel an amount of magic aura with it.

={Bind}=

As soon as that word came out from her mouth, the light threads move around towards the remaining men in the room and bound them completely so that they couldn't move, not even an inch.

"What the hell‒?!"

"It hurts!"

"Ah! So hot!"

"What kind of spell is this?!"

All of them shouted in pain as the threads keep on binding them and if they resisted, it would tightly bind them that makes them bleed.

Because the threads are sharp-like blades that would make their skin and flesh cut through with it.

Scarlette needs to finish this quickly and as she was about to make her ultimate move, she stopped and think first.

'I need to get some information from them. I know they won't spill anything so I will do it on my method.'

She thought as she snapped her fingers once more and the light threads glowed brightly.

Those light threads are not just a weapon that Scarlette could use in the battle, these threads had some other purpose as well.

Whenever a person is binding on these threads, it is not only to restrain them but also to look at their memories for collecting information purposes.

Not longer than that, a flash of memories from these men had been unleashed and it shows up right in front of Scarlette one by one.

'There is nothing important that these gentlemen knew. It seems like they are just assassins who are trained to only kill and obey orders. They are not the Elites.'

She thought as she keeps on looking at the memories of these people.

However, the memories from what she saw suddenly change that it makes her frown.

'What happened?'

Scarlette thought as she was about to cast another spell when another memory had flashed in front of him.

A series of flash events continue to show up in front of Scarlette and the crimson-haired woman left dumbfounded at what she discovered.

'W-what the‒?! These gentlemen are…'

She thought as she keeps on watching the scenes that are unfolding right in front of her very own eyes.

Aside from collecting information through their memories, these threads had another purpose.

It can also unleash the hidden memories of the person who caught in her threads.

'T-these are… the hidden memories they buried inside their soul!'
