The speed of the blade was extremely fast. Even with the enhancement of magic, such speeds would still be too quick. Lia could only guess that It was a combination of both enhancement magic and the natural strength of the bearer 

Lia jumped out of the direction of the blade as quickly as she could. She was able to luckily dodge it by a hair

"Hoh? Nice..."

The enormous man let out a laugh as she brings his heavy weapon to the ground

By Lia's estimations, the man was about six...No, about eight and a half feet tall to be exact. To put it simply, the man was an absolute giant

His body was more toned compared to everyone else here. And his aura was that of a wild beast

"That dodge was marvelous. I was certain that I would've crushed your body then and there"

Lia gets up from the ground and closely examined her surroundings before responding

"Next time, learn to hide your bloodlust. I can practically hear your thoughts through that wild smirk of yours...and you..."

With her knives on the ready, she tossed a few behind her before charging in

The knives at some point were met with some sort of resistance, And Lia Immedietly focused on that specific point

"Argh! How'd the hell you see me you crazy brat?!"

A raspy voice screamed as It began to resist Lia's attacks

He quickly retreated back to the enormous man at such an agile speed that Lia saw a splitting Image of a cockroach in the man

One glance at him surprised Lia. for he was the polar opposite of the previous man. He was skinny...Practically malnourished even...He looked like a twig that could be crushed at the wrong step

His expression was showing a glint of cowardice...His hands were shaking as he held his machete...But make no mistake. This man was an expert in killing 

'Hrmmm...Using enhancement and wind magic to boost his sprinting abilities, huh? I only noticed his presence through the movements of the smoke, If it wasn't for then he would've sliced my head right now...It seems that this one was also competent with his craft'

Lia redied all of the tools at her disposal as she began to conjure up a plan

The smoke was already at its limit. So the other mercenaries quickly stood in position and surrounded her

"...Don't get cocky. That kid is an expert... Kill her using everything you've got"

The oldy then appeared from the shadows behind while carrying her orb. Raiden was standing motionlessly beside him with his sword at the ready

A malevolent and dark aura began appearing out of the lady

"So it seems..."

"Ya don't need to tell me you hag. No ordinary kid can just make a cold expression like that"

They all readied their weapons. Raiden Included. Flames began to emit from his sword as he switches to a Rosenblade stance. His arm was still obviously injured, but it doesn't change his threat level one bit

"Now...Let's see what this toy can do!"

Raiden's controlled body swiftly charged as the others followed suit

With this, Lia couldn't help but let out a tired sigh

"...Time for work"
