The jailer

Hades walked downstairs following the smell he was getting, he eventually found himself standing in the kitchen. The maids moved to the side avoiding standing in his way.

"Is there anything to eat?" He asked looking toward the large boiling pot.

"I know it smells good but it's still not done yet. You have to wait for a while." A maid approached him, blocking his bath toward the pot.

Hades grabbed her by the shoulders, lifted her up, and sat her to the side. Nonchalantly kept moving toward the pot. "Stop him!" She yelled and the maids took ropes from under the counter.

In an organized attack, they twisted the rope around his body and started pulling him at the same time. He always ate their food before it get done, they can't let him do what he wants forever.

Thud! Hades stomped the ground, using all his strength to push forward, eight maids going against him but they were barely enough.

As he was pushing ahead, something sparked in Hades's head making him stop. As he sat on the ground, all the maids fell on the ground with the rope getting loose.

"There is something I wanted to ask you about. Do you know the meaning of those words?" He started.

…

Gabriella finally woke up, taking a deep breath of the fresh air. Her shoulder was still aching, "I hope Hades isn't waiting with a wound."

Knock! Knock! She heard something behind her door. "Who is it?"

"Shall I get a bath ready me lady?" a voice replied.

"Me lady? Where did you come from?" Gabriella instantly got serious.

The door slowly opened, and a woman wearing a full black nun cloak walked in and locked it. "Guess I fail again in surprising you." The woman sighed.

"How did you get in?" Gabriella growled, her eyes flowing golden.

"The guard was sleeping, I got to admit you got a nice one." She smiled, looking toward Hades's room.

Gabriella sighed, "Fine, fine, speak before you're found out. What business does the church assassination department have to do with me again?"

"A rebellion is building up after the fall of Raiba, the central church requests your help in the medical efforts." The woman said with a smile.

"I'm not going to war."

"You're not going to war, you're a healer. All we need you to do is heal the wounded from both sides." The woman kept smiling.

"You mean to heal your people and keep your prisoners alive for interrogation, you expect me to not understand?" Gabriella stood staring at her.

"I merely think there is no use hiding it. We can't let the church weaken by such meaningless conflict."

"I'm not going, I have more work to be done."

"You're coming with me, like it or not."

"You entered without permission right…HADES!" Gabriella yelled.

The nun laughed, "Door is locked, my monster is guarding the whole floor. I will take you away before anyone could reach us…CRACK!" The nun looked down, the wooden floor at her feet cracked, a hand grabbed her by the ankles, "Oh sh…" CRACK!

Hades pulled her through the floor, "Favor!" He stared at her. "Tch!" The twisted her body, kicking him in the face toward the wall. The maids in the room ran away to the corner screaming.

BAM! BAM! William who was in the other room rushed in with his sword at hand, saw the nun, and swung immediately at her. She leaped backward, jumping out the window with the dexterity of a cat.

"An intruder! Bring me her head!" William roared and all the guards got alarmed, the maids cried in fear.

[Repulsion] BAM! Hades blasted away behind the nun, instantly reaching her with a raging fist.

"You're an interesting one." She grabbed his hand and twisted it throwing him on the ground. Thwack! She stomped his head on the ground. "But lack technique."

[Slash] Suddenly, she felt it behind her and jumped away with a small wound on her side. Looking at her place, a whole tree has been sliced in half, Cael stood there in regular clothes with his sword in hand.

"That was close, head guard Cael Vendetta…I have no problems with you, I'm here to take Gabriella." The nun stated and Cael stared at her with red eyes and veins popping on his forehead.

"That's worse, I need her to keep Hades away from Eva. Give me your head…NOW!" He growled.

"Sorry but no, you give me yours." She smiled, pulling a dagger from her pocket.

Thud! William rushed in and swung his blade at her neck. She ducked down and swung at his knee. THUD! Using his second leg, William leaped up and stabbed at her back.

Twisting her body she dodged the strike and swung at William's face as if his neck belonged to a snake, he twisted to side way and dodged.

THUD! BAM! Grabbing his blade with one hand he swung it as strongly as he can, [CLEAVE] His sword roared across the air, leaving a bright white trail.

"What an impressive skill, but here it ends." she dodged, and stood on William's blade as it sat behind his back at the swing end.

[Attraction] Just before she could swing her dagger at William, Hades pulled her toward him where Cael took a stance.

[Slash] CLANG! She deflected Cael's strike with her dagger and then twisted her torso and kicked Hades. This time, instinctively he grabbed her thighs. "GOT YOU!" He growled ready to smack her on the ground.

She smiled, wrapping her tights around his neck, twisting them in an instant. She was the one to drill his head into the ground. Standing up, she sighed. "You lot can't beat me, you just lack…" She got a chilling feeling from underneath her feet.

BAM! A fist smacked her lower back sending her flying, she managed to easily land on her feet but growled toward Hades. That attack should have knocked him out, why is he awake?

[Attraction] With a burst of force, he stood up and the tree trunk that Cael severed flew toward him. Hades rested the tree on his shoulder and grabbed it like a massive club in an inhuman way.

"Are you a monster? Don't tell me you can swing that."

Hades smiled, twisting his upper torso, [Repulsion] Releasing the spell behind the tree caused it to move forward, mimicking a swing. The nun leaped away seeing a human swing a whole tree at her.

William and Cael took the chance to surround her, two simultaneous swings [CLEAVE] [SLASH]

The nun immediately pulled a second dagger, deflecting both of their attacks and leaping away to avoid Hades's tree.

She stood a few feet away and smiled, CLAP! Putting her hands together she grinned, "Well then, Can I use my own ability?"

A black smoke raised from her shadow, and countless glowing eyes can be seen. GRWAAAAAAA! Monsters growled as she slowly moved her hands apart, [Unleashed]

A horde of monsters appeared behind her, Dire wolves, snake-like monsters, and armored bulls. The countless monster just flowed from her shadow.

"She is the church's jailer! Her ability allows her to store the monster she defeated on her own in her shadow and then summon them at command." Gabriella yelled from the window.

Thud! Thud! The guards surrounded the place aiming their crossbows at the monster, "Fire!" Eva yelled and they shoot.
