One of them was a fire elemental user. 

It burned her clothes, and she flung her clothes away without hesitation before proceeding to beat them all up. 

Some of the guards were appalled that Kiyae dared to strip in front of them. However, it wasn’t like she cared as she enjoyed wearing loose clothing which helped her immensely in fights.

She then stole a pair of pants from one of them, tying it around her waist to make sure it didn’t fall.

What a ride. 

“Give us the slave contract you created for Shin,” Kiyae threatened, pressing her nunchuck on his neck. “Come on, Ephert.” 

Ephert smiled maliciously at that moment. 

Kiyae was extremely alert now, since she wasn’t fighting against normal guards but a diabolical man. She didn’t know what he had up his sleeve. 

She gasped, pushing Shin behind her as she avoided the knife that Ephert whipped out. 

“What the hell?” 

“Too bad, I missed.” 

The knife did not look like any ordinary knife, its blade was glowing brightly but it only gave Kiyae an eerie feeling. 

“You can’t kill me,” Ephert continued smiling, glee evident in his eyes. “You need me alive for information.” 

“True,” Kiyae shrugged before narrowing her eyes. “But that doesn’t mean I can’t break your legs and arms and render them useless forever.”

Ephert felt a chill going down his spine. 

He was not a fighter, he made others fight for him. 

There was no way he could win against Kiyae. 

At that moment, Kiyae widened her eyes and she clicked her tongue. “Damnit, too fast.” 

“Master Ephert!” Goro called out in the distance, he was climbing up the stairs to the audience stand. 

The relief was visible on Ephert’s face. 

“Oi, the idiots down there!” Kiyae hollered down at the people in the arena. “Catch!” 

Ephert’s face changed again. 

Her loud voice caught the attention of her comrades down the arena. 

Shin felt the hand covering his eyes withdrawing. He blinked open his eyes...only to feel himself being flung away like he was a ball. 

“Kiyae?!” 

“Catch him!” 

“Oi, oi oi! Oi! You crazy--!” 

The people down from the arena yelled at Kiyae incessantly.

Shin widened his eyes in disbelief, he was currently falling all the way down the arena. 

They noticed the young boy tumbling through the air instantly flew into a panic, combining their efforts to stop his fall. Shin himself was panicking as well, flailing his arms and legs, letting out a rare yelp of alarm and he felt his world spinning. 

"Shin!"

Cecil stood in the way, preparing to be his cushion. 

In the end, someone suddenly appeared in front of her and ended up being the cushion.

K’xug swivelled his head to the empty spot beside him where Xue previously stood, blinking his eyes in shock. 

So fast.
