After being caught being a foodie by Kevin, Lilith ran to her room along with food. She tried to eat until eventually, she would fall asleep. It did work, she was able to sleep until she felt the mansion vibrate. She ignored it at first and continued to slumber. At least that was until loud noises echoed through the mansion. Once again she decided to ignore it, but the explosion she heard fully woke her up. Waking up cranking, she got off the bed with the resolve to hurt someone.
" It is so late! Could you not have done this during the daytime? There are only five precious hours in the night on this side of the planet," Lilith complained.
Seeing he had a helper, Max undid his transformation. He did not know of Lilith, but based on Kevin's claims, she helped in his rescue. He slowly stood on his two feet, ready to fight alongside the young lady.
" I am guessing you helped save me?" Max asked.
" Lilith's the name!"
He gave out a light chuckle and mentioned his name as well.
" That is one angry hot momma!" A teen from the Anami gang said licking his lips.
"Your not wrong, when I pay attention to details. I notice the use of no makeup and yet she looks like a piece of art!" A goon complimented, which in turn received a disgusted look from Lilith.
Not only was Lilith pissed beyond relief, but she was now cringing at the compliment of an underaged pervert.
"Listen to me, they are very strong. If we want to win, we got to-"
Not listening to the rest of Max's plan, Lilith dashed in boldly towards the gang, shocking everyone including Max. As she approached, the gang member equipped with guns readied himself by aiming. Aiming for her head, he shot but to his utter dismay, Lilith shifted her whole body to the right showing her athletic skills.
The goon quickly placed his hands on his pouch to remove his dagger, however, seeing this Lilith immediately kicked his hand.
"Argh!" He moaned in pain. Using the opportunity, Lilith struck with her leg to his chin, instantly knocking him out.
She then shot a glance towards Anami, making it very obvious she was going for him. Using wind magic, she gathered wind below her feet and shot it off the ground toward Anami.
Barely anyone was able to react to the sudden increase in speed. Lilith greeted Anami with a high kick which he blocked by raising a single arm.
"If you want to take me out, you are going to have to do better," Anami said with a smile that slightly creeped out Lilith.
' She is stronger than Kevin!' Max concluded.
"Tsk!" Lilith kissed her teeth as she performed a back flip, moving back.
Sending out a signal, four more men ran in to deal with Lilith.
"I have to help!" Max whispered to himself, but he was finding it quite hard to be conscious as it was. At this rate, he would probably drag her down. He felt pale and began panting a lot.
While being attacked by four men simultaneously, Lilith blocked each attack and even added in some counterattacks at the same time. Her attacks were mostly focused on joints and the relevant bones. When it was obvious that four could not handle her, Anami sent out another muscular man who delivered a frightening punch wrapped in fire magic to Lilith's face resulting in her flying back to the ground. The impact created a piercing sound, which made Max worry if she was still alive.
"If you are not going to use magic, do not even dream of challenging us!" The muscular man who attacked Lilith roared.
"Do you not get it ?" Lilith inquired while laying on her back.
Her question confused the men. What was there to get? There were dominating.
Slowly getting up from the ground with blood spilling out of her mouth she said, " It's not that I do not want to use it, but I do not need it".
Everyone watched as the wounds on her mouth slowly closed, mending themselves at a fast sleep. The only race they were sure of that could heal that fast were vampires. However, vampires only consume blood and Max never smelt such.
"A vampire? Just because you can regenerate does not make you immortal," Anami said calmly.
Lilith wore a big grin on her face as she snapped her fingers. As soon as she did that, the four men she had been in combat dropped to the ground in pain. Anami inwardly concluded it as some type of deviant element, but he could not have been more wrong.
'That is Scrypto?' Max recognized the martial art style. 'By sending precise attacks to their joints, she slightly dislocated them. Therefore, sending minimum sound waves such as a snap could completely dislocate them,'.
"But the only race that knows Scrypto is the d-"
"Hey, old man! Seeing as how you haven't helped this whole time, you must be too weak to. Stay back and relax, I will take care of this!" Lilith shouted confidently, with winds surrounding her.
Taking a deep breath, she once again shot out towards the muscular man. This time, planning to take him out as fast as possible.
The man's clothes began to burn, as flames crawled up his arms. He gathered most of his strength into a single first and shot out a punch when Lilith was in range. Lilith decided to overcome the situation with brute strength, facing the man's fist directly.
[Deviant element: Spiral winds]
Lilith used the same materialization technique, gathering her element around her fist. When their fists clashed, the fire around the man's arm was completely distinguished and he was blown into the air toward Anami and his gang.
Not wasting the chance, Lilith shot out wind arrows to reduce the number of enemies she was facing. However, she made sure not to kill them. Unlike the yetis who were beasts, she would rather avoid having the death of people on her hands.
"Your turn!" Lilith yelled, aiming for Anami.
Seeing the attack aimed at him, Anami spewed flames from his mouth rendering the arrows ineffective.
"It's time I got involved!" Anami said in his usual calm voice.
[ Deviant element: Devil's tattoo]
Upon activating his deviant element, the tattoo which was drawn on his neck began to move. It wiggled around, freeing itself from his skin and then expanding into a flame creature. More specifically, a bird engulfed in flames, a phoenix.
With Lilith as the target, it approached her leaving her stunned. She was not sure if it homing attack but seeing as it looked alive she had to guess it was. The problem was how she was going to stop it, her element was the wind. So unless she created a frightening amount of wind, she wouldn't be able to distinguish it.
'I have to help!' Max thought, trying to raise a mud wall to block it but it was then he realized. He had nothing... no mana at all.
Lilith's heartbeat increased, pondering about what to do in this situation.
"If I use it, they will come after me but if I do not I'll die," Lilith whispered, deciding whether to use her secret trump card or to take the attack. Her healing factor could probably save her... but it would hurt a lot.
[Lightning magic: twin dragons]
From the mansion, shot out a lightning dragon that clashed with the phoenix. Resulting in its dispersal, leaving the atmosphere of the area clouded in flame and lightning particles.
Another one flew by Lilith heading straight for Anami.
"Interesting!" He said, creating another creature from his tattoo to counter the attack.
" I am late!" Kevin said, squeezing water from his soaked shirt.
Seeing him arrive, Lilith wore a big smile and responded, "I could have handled them alone,".
"Sure you could!"
"Found you!" Anami said, noticing the tattoo on Kevin's arm.
