Who is this lord?

The girl in black gothic dress was slowly approaching them. Although they could not feel the murderous and killing intent from her, it's difficult to think that such a beauty was wandering around this place that anyone could see were only mountains and trees.

And in this deep of night? It was hard to believe even if she said that they she was just taking a stroll.

They noticed her eyes were closed. It added more unnaturalness in this situation.

When she arrived at 10 meters away from them...

"H-Hey, who are y-you?" The second-in-command asked her while trying to sound calm. Yet, he failed.

"....."

The girl did not answer. However, she slowly opened her eyes like in slow motion.

They were mesmerized by it. She had beautiful golden eyes. Moreover, the pupils of her eyes were like that in the snake.

They were mesmerized. But for a moment only, because they noticed something. In the girl's hand, her black nails were growing longer. They grew about 10 inches long.

Seconds later, she smiled at them. No, it wasn't a smile. She was smirking at them!

They knitted their brows. Then, the two readied themselves.

"She's an enemy!" The leader warned.

Upon hearing him, "stop right there!" The second-in-command shouted at her while pointing his right hand with his fingers open and was glowing in bright green. Around her, blades that were glowing in bright green color were taking shapes out of thin airs. Ten blades that were glowing in bright green were surrounding her and pointing their tips at her.

"....."

But the girl did not answer and remained silent while deliberately walking towards them.

The two widened their eyes. Looks like this girl had no plan to stop.

Seeing this, the leader unsheathed his sword. Then it glows in brilliance. He gripped it tightly while readying himself from the possible attack of that girl.

The second-in-command's eyes were gleaming, then he shouted...

"Whoever you are! Die!!!" he shouted abruptly then close his hand.

Wind Blades Prison--Explode!

After closing his hand, all the surrounding blades around her, had simultaneously came charging to pierce her. Although it was a waste to kill such beauty without tasting her first, they needed to attack her before she could get close.

This type of attack was bad news for the enemies. Since no way for them to escape. All the escape routes were cut, surrounded by blades in all front.

The next moment, the area where the girl was standing had exploded. It was followed by the hovering clouds of dust and smokes.

The two sighed in relief after seeing the girl was hit with the explosion. Even if she was stronger than them, if she took that attack, she would die for sure. Now they were waiting for the area to clear. To see the messy state of that beautiful girl.

But after the area cleared, the girl disappeared and they could not see her messily body. If she was hit by that attack, her corpse should be lying on the ground full of holes and burns.

However, the area was empty except for a pit that was formed because of the explosion.

Suddenly, they felt a chill running down their spine. They felt strong energy at their back. They slowly turning their heads at the back. And they paused when they saw her 1 meter away at their back while facing her back at them.

"W-what..." the last word of the leader before losing strength and fell on the ground. The two of them simply fell on the ground.

"M-M-My lord? I-I-I finished what m-m-my lord had tasked me to do." She suddenly acts flustered which ruined the cool looking beauty a while ago.

"...k-k-kill? No no no, I did not..."

"...t-t-they just losses their consciousness..."

"....."

"...mhm! bring them at our domain and let the others do the rest of the job.," Yeman's voice was heard from her through telepathy.

"...y-yes my lord!" She answered.

"...oh, by the way, good job..."

She smiled.

"Thank you, thank you, my lord, Fufu!" She said happily while heart popping above her head.

"...uhm...m-my lord, there is a witnessed," she reported.

"Witness huh," Yeman said while thinking. Then he asked her about the witness.

Night told him about the additional details. Later on, Yeman instructed her what to do.

"...okay my lord," she said.

In front of Yeman, corpses were being piled one by one by his pets.

Looks like Night also finished her tasked faster. Well, he expected this to happen. After all, Night was even stronger than him.

...

Those passed days at their camp before the carriages had arrived. He was busy killing some monsters around that place. Every passing day he was hunting them with his pets.

When Yeman saw her first evolution, he was flustered. After all, they become humans bit by bit whenever they level up. But Night evolves faster than the rest. Her human figure formed completely, Yeman stared blankly at her. She was naked! With curvaceous figure and pretty face. A very beautiful female human was formed in front of him.

He was wondering why she evolves directly into a human, unlike his other pet. But Yeman had two possible reasons. First, because she was already a high level? Second, because of that purple crystal?

Nonetheless, he needed to buy clothes for her. He quickly went to his market section in his window interface. And found the gothic black dress. And of course, he also brought the undergarments which troublesome for him.

But except for her beauty and pretty face or what so ever. He also noticed her astonishing strength. He checked her stats and found out. That she was stronger than him in all aspects!

He was surprised. He thought he was stronger already. But it seemed like he was not if compared to Night.

Well, if Yeman did not snipe them from above. He could not win fighting them below. Or in a face to face fight.

Yeman's skills were not that strong. But he had high attributes to back it up, while Night having all of them.

Even her being a phantom herself was already an overpower plus to her. What' s more having higher attributes than him?

And anyway, who would have thought that this pet would become such a beauty!

...

The coachman blinked his eyes. He could not believe that such a young girl having that massive magic energy.

The beautiful Miss defeated those two leaders of the assassination group in just one strike at their back?!

Now those two were lying while face facing the ground. And 5 long horizontal lines of wounds could be seen on their back.

But for some reason, that cool looking beautiful Miss suddenly acted flustered while talking to no one. Question marks appeared on top of the coachman's head. He was wondering who she talked to.

Seconds later, he noticed her slowly walking towards him. His face became pale.

'Will she kill me? Because I was a witness? But I am an ordinary coachman only. Even though I can also used magic, but my magic is so weak. I'm not a fighter type magician.'

He felt nervous.

"Hiieeeeee!!! W-W-Wait Miss... Don't kill me! I-I'm not one of them, they only use my carriage for transportation purposes and it was my business!" He said trying to convince her. But the girl still continued to step towards him.

If she decided to kill him. He was sure that this would be the end of his life. Not even those two strong leaders of the Assassination group were able to land a scratch on her. They were defeated in an instant.

She stopped in front of him while glaring at him. He thought that she was even more beautiful in near. But he had no time to admire her beauty. In any case, this girl looks like a noble of the 13 great families.

The girl handed him a piece of paper and a pouch of silver coins. The coachman was stunned. He was wondering what this meant.

A few seconds later, some people carrying...bodies?

Corpses!

They were steeping faster than walk. Upon arriving at his carriage door. They throw the bodies inside. He noticed that some of those corpses lost their parts.

The coachman wore a grim and paled face. He knew these corpses. After all, they were his frequent passengers.

They were the members of the famed assassination group in the empire. But, how they ended up like this?

'Wait. So they all died?! And even their leaders were defeated by a lone girl?! How come? And who is that lord addressed by this girl? Is there even a famed noble family in this place? Yeah, I know that there is a noble family in this place. But they are not famous. And they are not that rich compare to the nobles living inside the Main City. Or in any City. The noble family living in this place is just an ordinary noble family that is slightly above ordinary citizens. That is why I am confused about why this assassination group having a mission in this place,' the coachman thought.

He slowly opened the piece of paper that was folded. When he saw what was written on it. He was shocked.

"This place...is the village of one of the 13 great noble families! The Gentlewind family!!!" He exclaimed.
