The remaining mages and hunters were terrified; their faces pale from fear. Some were sweating profusely, and some were praying for their lives.

They had already given their hopes and faith in their survival to Elder Shelton from the Paul family. They had hoped he would emerge victorious, but now even he was dead.

Aizel approached them with the same blank expression on his face.

"I should get rid of them all at once; I need to save mental energy for any problems ahead." He thought.

He summoned Sekki, and the pure black double-edged sword finally made its appearance. He observed every hunter and mage and imagined a small knock-up wind under their feet.

All of the hunters and mages were thrown into the air. As they hurriedly tried to cast a spell to save themselves, lightning-sharp crescent slashes came flying right at them, splitting everyone in half.

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*

Their bodies began to fall to the ground one by one, with their blood raining on all sides.

Aizel was drenched in blood and resembled a walking corpse. He wiped his face with his hands, clearing the blood.

He took a deep breath and surveyed the scene, looking for survivors or enemies who were still breathing, but all he saw were lifeless bodies scattered around him.

Aizel went to Shelton's corpse and searched his entire body for his storage ring. He did the same with the other corpses before venturing deeper into the basement.

On the other side of the battlefield...

Leah and her family were heading straight toward the grand hall.

Leah's uncle was a wrecking ball; no mages or hunters dared stand in his way, and they easily made it to the grand hall.

As they reached the grand hall, they noticed two men standing around corpses and blood, waiting for them.

"So, you all came together, huh?" The old man said eyeing the four people in front of him.

"You are not scared, right?" Yelena's father taunted and chuckled.

"Scared of you? Today will be the day I give your old bones a rest."

"Where is the one who killed my child?" The man who was standing quietly with the old man spoke. He was tall and handsome but didn't share the same red hair as the rest of the Paul family. He was the head of their family, the father of Tintin and Bretta, Tommy Paul.

"It doesn't matter where he is," Leah said taking her katana out. "You will pay for your crimes today."

"Son, come with me; let's handle the old man first; leave that Tommy for Yelena and Leah." Yelena's father said. Leah's uncle quickly went with him to fight the old man outside the hall.

Now only Tommy, Leah, and Yelena were left in the grand hall.

"So, you two are going to fight me, are you sure?" Tommy said with a mocking smile.

"You don't have to worry about that; I will make sure to separate your head cleanly and send it to your wife as a gift. I know she escaped from here."

Tommy's smile froze. He stared at Leah in anger.

He rushed towards both of them taking out his longsword.

"I will cut you, little girl, just like I cut your father." He cried as he slashed the sword downwards toward Leah.

Leah quickly avoided the slash by rolling to her left while answering Tommy with wind slashes.

Tommy's body began to emit lightning as he boosted his speed to avoid the attack. Yelena flew in the air with the help of wind and attacked with her own wind slashes which Tommy had dodged.

He dodged once again and headed straight for Leah to fight in close quarters.

Leah fought with him head-on as they both started clashing their weapons. She knew she couldn't defeat him alone. She was still a Grade I mage and Tommy was Grade II.

And that was not all he had; what made him more powerful was his second magic core. He was the only person in the town who had a second magic core.

Yelena was using small wind spears from far away to provide support to her daughter, which was making it hard for Tommy to fight.

He had to dodge the spears from time to time while also being cautious against Leah.

Tommy realized he needed to devise a strategy to defeat Leah immediately, or else Yelena's support would become too much for him to handle.

He quickly made some water snakes sparkle with lightning. He smartly combined his magic core powers to create powerful magic.

Leah and Yelena both pulled back, their eyes wide from horror. They didn't have the confidence to evade every single one of the water snakes with lightning.

At the same time...

Aizel arrived at the bottom of the basement where he noticed a final room with a half-open door.

He slowly walked towards the room. The sound of his footsteps could be clearly heard. It was ghostly-quiet in the surroundings. Aizel opened the door to enter the room.

"Oh, you are back, uncle..." the girl's mouth went quiet as she stared at Aizel. Panic could be seen on her face as she started to sweat.

The first thing Aizel saw was Emma tied down in rope, sleeping quietly in the cage with some other kids.

"You must be Bretta." He slowly walked towards her.

Bretta started backing away in fear, she only had the power to make anyone who was not a mage her puppet by touching their heads and using her power on them.

She didn't have the confidence to fight against Aizel, who was able to beat her uncle.

"Y... you what did you do with my uncle?"

Aizel placed his hand on her shoulder and spoke, "You were the one who was using two hunters as puppets and made them kill themselves, right?"

"Y… you can't kill me; my father is very powerful; he is a dual-core mage. You still have a chance; if you beg before us and swear fealty for the rest of your life, I will help you get spared of your crimes."
