"Puchi!" A head fell from the body like a slice of an apple as the blade made of wind slitted the neck. Khrom didn't show any mercy when he faced the enemy. He was like this even before he met Kadyn. Now after going through many battles he had become stronger and more decisive.

"Life Fairy: Rain of Healing," Elora shouted as the rain started to pour on the wounded, but the strange thing was that it fell only on the people of the Ceston Empire. The enemies could just grit their teeth in hate and indignance. 

Life Fairy was a collection of Life element healing spells from elementary rank to the rank 3 inside the library. Though Kadyn had said that there might be more volumes in the future when he further updates the shop.

Zelie nodded towards her as her wounds faded and continued to battle.

There was a shadow wherever it went it crushed and sliced the enemies like tofu. Though the shadow intentionally avoided fighting with rank 3 mages. After all, they were out of its league at the moment. She was none other than Cecelia. Killing and devouring. Her moves were smooth and experienced.

Her eyes had turned darker than black, her hair flew like the waves of a river, and her dagger dug into the chests of enemies like a hot knife inside the butter. Whenever the enemies tried to surround her, she vanished, turning into a dark shadow and appeared at another location.

Kadyn eyed the ongoing battle and took out three potions from his space ring and tossed them towards the trio. "Drink this, we have more work to do."

The trio nodded and drank the potins without any hesitation. They didn't suspect that Kadyn had a bad intention. After all, in their current condition Kadyn could easily subdue them. Why would he use such an underhanded method?

As they gulped down the potions, the mana started to replenish rapidly. Their eyes went wide and then the thrill passed through their bodies. Although they also did the business of potions. They had potioneers in their families—none of them could brew a healing potion as amazing as this. 

It took just a few breaths before they fully recovered their mana. Though their bodies were still covered in wounds. Kadyn took out another three potions. The trio excitedly gulped them down their throats and then their wounds healed.

"Alright," Kadyn said. "Let's finish this farce."

Xod, Oswyn and Eugan stood up and dashed towards the ongoing battle. The enemy had only a few intermediate rank 3 mages. They didn't even have a single high rank 3 mage. So it didn't take long for the battle to become one sided. As the slaughter ensued Kadyn could see that same mysterious light coming out of the corpses and vanishing inside his own—World Lotus sprouts devoured them continuously.

Many tried to escape. However, no one gave them a chance. Heads were sliced off their shoulders, legs were torn from their body, and guts were dug out from their stomach, mixing with blood, spreading the pungent smell. Kadyn stood amidst the corpses, covered in blood, taking a few deep breaths before turning towards the survivors.

Some of them cheered while a few looked crestfallen due to losing their friends in the battle. Others didn't seem to care as they laid down in the pool of blood of their enemies. Kadyn's companions walked towards him, covered in blood and sweat, weary with fatigue, in their ragged hair and clothes.

Hayla turned towards Kadyn and their eyes met. Kadyn nodded and said, "Take the army back to the capital."

"But the enemy—"

"We have already taken down all the enemies," Kadyn said. "There are no more enemies."

"How could—"

"Hummm…"

As she spoke a humming sound came from the sky and then a locust of bees covered the sky above the army. "Oh, shit," Hayla cursed. She looked at Kadyn and said. "Didn't you say there were no enemies?"

"They aren't enemies," Kadyn smiled and then a honey-bee that was larger than the rest landed on his hand, humming continuously with its wings, as if singing a pleasant melody.

"Summoned beast?" Hayla said. "So many?"

"No," Kadyn shook his head. "I just summoned the Bee Queen. It was the Bee Queen who controlled other bees, spreading them all over the Ceston Empire to look for the enemies."

"Amazing!" Hayla exclaimed.

"But aren't you Space—"

"I don't have much time to linger here." Kadyn interrupted Oswyn. "I also need to remove the poison inside the emperor. The more time we waste the more he suffers. The poison might not kill him in a short time, but it will kill him, nonetheless, if he wasn't treated—" Kadyn abruptly stopped speaking and rage boiled on his face. "Bastard!" he cursed.

"What happened?" asked Hayla.

"The Left Minister has also betrayed the empire."

"What?!' everyone almost jumped in shock.

"Wh—what happened to the emperor?" Oswyn said. "Didn't you send emperor with him?"

"Emperor is safe," Kadyn shook his head. Then he started to walk towards the thickets. A deserted place, not too far away from the battlefield. Kadyn removed the shrubs and bushes, revealing a body in the thickets in front of the group, unconscious.

"Father!' Hayla said. Others also looked at Kadyn in shock. What the hell was going on?

"Hehe," Kadyn chuckled. "Just a small trick. It wasn't hard to fool the Left Minister. I just needed to cast an illusion spell. He is just a rank 2 mage after all."

"Illusion spell?" Oswyn again interrupted. " Psychic element? How many elements do you have, bro?"

Kadyn ignored him and said, "He is still inside my illusion and thinks that he has killed the emperor. Now he is going towards the Capital."

"Why would he go to the Capital?" Hayla asked. "Isn't he afraid that we will kill him?"

"Maybe, he isn't," Kadyn replied. "Or maybe he knows something that we don't."

"How did you know that the Left Minster is a traitor," Euagn asked.

"I didn't," Kadyn shook his head. "But even a dunce would become vigilant after what happened with Segast. That's why I remained alert all this time. Are you also planning something nefarious?"

"...."
