Bodies and blood scattered everywhere, on the walls, ground, grass, trees and everything was stained in blood.
The bodies belonged to the guards that were protecting the villa as Asagi and Sakura got ride of them completely in a matter of minutes as they were only low level demons unlike the other three that Shiranui, Violet and Yukikaze were fighting with.
"It's done." (Sakura)
"It seems so. But I got this feeling that there is something else." Asagi said with doubt.
"Then, let's g-"
"Shhh...I hear something." Asagi said to her sister as she heard a foot steps on the grass.
It was light and slow indicating that the one who was walking was woman not a man.
The villa was surrounded by a huge forest and Asagi and Sakura were near it when Asagi heard the sounds of foot steps coming from the forest.
And Sakura started to hear it too as it got closer and closer to them.
"Who is there? Show yourself!" (Sakura)
Then they saw her, a woman with long pink hair and amber eyes appeared in front of them.
She is dark-skinned woman wearing black clothes with an open midriff, on top of that she wears a red cape.
Asagi and Sakura knew her very well as they fought her before in the past.
"Ingrid!" Asagi said with cold tone while showing a very serious and solemn expression.
Yes, she was Ingrid, the right hand of Edwen Black and could be called his bodyguard. She was called Hell Knight Ingrid previously but she abandoned this title after she became under the control of Edwen Black.
Ingrid didn't say anything and just looked at both of them with expressionless face.
She didn't understand why her master wanted Asagi so much that he was so obsessed with her as he told her to get her alive no matter what without telling her the reason using the distraction caused by his forces.
But, she as his right hand, secretary and bodyguard, could only carry out his orders without any objections.
Ingrid is a demon from the demon realm and serves the Nine Noble Demons Families as the leader of the Black Dragon order of Hell Knights that watch over the demon realm and nine noble families.
She abandoned everything and left it behind when she became under the control of Edwen Black.
As for why she did that, Edwen Black knew that she had the power of the Black Dragon "Grenier" sealed within her and she could use its power to make herself stronger than anyone but at the cost of her soul so couldn't use it for a long time, but he saw that it was enough as the power was already too strong to help him achieve his goals and annihilate his enemies who stand against him.
So a coup d'etat between the Hell Knights made them under his control along with the Nine Noble Families, then by that he put Ingrid beside him by controlling her.
But no one knew about that at all, except those who witnessed it, but they might be dead by now as no one lives to tell the tale.
Anyway, she just would carry out her master's order without any objections like a good servant.
So when she looked at them, she had an expressionless face, then suddenly took out her weapon that was a sword with golden blade that had a sliver hue in the middle with black and silver hilt.
It was a sword called "Dark Flame", it was her main and strongest weapon she had.
Then without any introductions, she dashed at Asagi and Sakura attempting to attack them both.
Asagi who was already ready for any possible attacks from her saw how she dashed at them with the intent to attack them, so she quickly took a stance with her Katana ready to block the attack.
Clang!
Both their swords clashed with each other creating a loud sound.
"Ingrid, what are you doing here?" Said Asagi with her cold voice while still clashing with her.
"...doing a mission." She said after some time with an expressionless face.
Clang!
They clashed again while making sparks our of their clash.
"Then what is your mission?"
"...getting you alive and eliminate any other targets that stand in the way." Her voice was plain along with her expressionless voice made her seem like a doll.
Then Asagi remembered what Austin told her when he save Violet and then became annoyed and agitated, but calmed herself as she knew that nothing good would come out of it.
So she decided to beat her up and make her brain work in the right way.
"Then you got the wrong person." Asagi said as she with her sword moved Ingrid's sword away and kicked her in her stomach sending her flaying back hitting a tree in the process.
"Sakura, go to Darling and let me handle this."
"Okay sis, be careful." Sakura replied as she ran twords the villa with an incredible speed. This didn't mean that she was afraid and ran away, no, she just trusted her sister with all her heart and believed that her sister was stronger than Ingrid.
"Now it's me and you."
"..."
Ingrid didn't respond as she thought talking during a battle was one of the biggest mistakes one could make and cost him his life.
So she stood up immediately and charged at Asagi in an instant, reaching in front of her as if she had teleported.
Clang!
Asagi immediately blocked and parried her attack, then slashed her vertically with her Katana.
Clang!
But Ingrid blocked the attack and gave a roundhouse kick to Asagi that caught her by surprise and sent her back few meters in the wide grassy field.
"Cough! Cough!"
She coughed a little as the kick was strong that made her unable to breath for a moment, then she stood up and attacked Ingrid again.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
They attacked each other fiercely with serious expressions while causing sparks to flying around them from the point of their clash.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
"I will attack you until your little brain works again."
Clang!
"How will you do that when it's already working good." Ingrid said with her serious expression.
Although she was like a doll earlier, but that was because she was thinking about her mission and how she would finish it, so basically, she was ignoring her surroundings and only focusing on her mission, which was Asagi.
Clang! Clang!
"Then I will show you how."
Clang!
