Time Left: 1:00
As I was hugging Lilian the time appeared in my vision and I decided to let go before saying.
"Hide! There Shouldn't be any more of them around and don't forget to use your ability to stay aware of your surroundings. I'll be back with Crystal before you know it." I wanted to take her with me, but it's honestly more dangerous considering there are probably more people inside.
Damn it! I don't have time to waste around!
Moving as fast as I could, I bust in through the door of the cabin. Inside there were a few women dressed in what I assume are maid outfits all looking at me. Ignoring that I immediately move upstairs at max speed only to find a hall with a few rooms, and by the end of it, there was a man with a longsword hanging on his waist. It seems that was the last obstacle between me and Crystal.
My patience was at its end and due to
Zooming through the hall, I easily reached the man, dagger in hand and ready to tear some flesh.
Clang!
For the first time, I was met with the metallic vibration of being parried as the man stopped my attack with his sword.
"Damn! That's some crazy strength you got there, son. I almost didn't see you coming, but if that's how assassins these days work, shit got really sloppy... Though one thing's for sure, you're a little monster that would sell for good money... Maybe even worth nurturing myself, oh well, I can think about it once this job's done." The man took a stance and despite his relaxed attitude, his aura was definitely one of a ready warrior.
As soon as he was done talking he charged at me, and I was ready for whatever attack he throw at me, or at least I believed so. He pulled his sword and I was about to dodge out of the way when I noticed that he was actually intending to kick me instead, and got out of the way of that.
"You saw through my faint... Not bad, maybe they did teach you something at the thieves guild, now bleed for me!" Suddenly I felt a surge of mana come from the man and his words put a weird pressure on me as I felt my body stiffen as he approached.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Move!
With a lot of effort, I was able to move my arm enough to put the dagger in the trajectory of the sword swipe.
Clang! Bam!
Due to the strength of blow, I was sent flying against the wall in a very painful impact that caused me to spit a bit of blood, and immediately I felt this surge of energy overwhelm me, it was as if everything in the world had become red, nothing more, nothing less, just red.
"Hehe! Gotcha! Newbies always fall for that one, but this is honestly a good catch, it's been a while a since I got my hands on merchandise anywhere this quality! Truly a jackpot!" He started slowly approaching me with his guard still up.
Automatically my body moved and I sprang up much faster than I was moving before, my hands empty, and without being able to react the man got punched back to his initial position by me.
"Fuck! *Cough* my teeth! You little piece of shit! I guess the clients are going to have to deal with damaged goods! Show what you got little monster!" He coughed up blood with some of his teeth coming off, before he got back challenging me to come at him.

Without thinking I could only see the bright red surrounding him and all my instincts telling me to kill him. So, I ran towards him at full speed.
"Try and hit me again! I fuckin dare you to!" Once again I could feel the surge of energy coming from him but my body couldn't and did not want to stop.
"It's the end of the game, littl- " Before he could even finish his next taunt I already had my foot in his solar plexus, and immediately the force took him through the door of the room he was protecting.
Time Left: 1
Bam!

(Crystal's POV)
In this world, there weren't many things that worried or scared me. I was always the braver sister between me and Lilian, but today was the day I found that I might not be as strong as I thought I was, cause as I found myself, I felt nothing but fear... Someone, please help me. That's what I wanted to scream and shout, but I couldn't, not just because of my fear, but because my mouth was gagged.
Get yourself a rich husband, it spares you too much trouble. That was something, my grandmother always said to me, and my sister... Yeah, it made sense to me. The more I grew and watched things happen around me and saw people going through their own lives, from those who are relatively ok like my family to the ratched hobos, who would do anything for a few coppers, It was all around... And, it scared me. What if I ever end up like that? Would anyone help me? Of course, I have my parents, but for how long? They are very old people and will eventually go.... My siblings? Does any of them like me? Aside from Lilian, I don't think any of them cares, besides, what if Lilian's husband doesn't like me?
There was a lot on my mind, I knew that if I wanted things to work, I had to put my hands to work and start as soon as possible. The looks and skills of a good wife were down, all I needed was to find a suitable candidate, but it was as expected very hard, especially with the majority of people in our town being poor.
That was until, two knight families had started serving the lord of the area and moved here, and I now had two easy to control idiots fighting for me, and damn, did it feel good to have all that under my control... But it wasn't enough, it was too easy, surely someone like me could do better, even if it required me to be a bit risky with it.
I tried a few things but none quite had the effect I needed, that was when I remembered that we had a pretty interesting family... I was sure a Nymph could attract something better, and it did, not the best result but it was still better, now I just had to take things my way, and then escalate it again once I'm in control.
That was how stupid I was... Honestly, I don't know why I cared so much about it, maybe I was really worried about my future, maybe I was just telling myself that as an excuse to step on those people... But it's my fault they were so ease to... Ok, maybe I need help...
It doesn't matter now, cause now one of the idiots I considered below me has me nacked, tied up, and gagged on his bed in some cabin in the woods... Damn it! Stay away from me! I want to kick him in his family jewels and take away that disgusting smile from his face! But at the same time, I don't want it to be this way... Please don't touch me you excuse for a fourth option! That was what my more sensible side said.
"Relax, it's only gonna hurt for a while, you women cry too much away, it's like this every time, but once you're part of the collection and see how I live, you'll beg me for it." The galls on this sub-human! I don't want your ugly ass near me, much less in me! You can go and take your dirty money, I don't need anything from you! Or at least untie me, and let's see how this goes in a fair fight chicken-arms lanky ass motherfucker.
Help! I can't believe someone who unironically wears orange will take my virginity... This is basically the worst thing that could ever happen to me...
He came closer to me with his disgusting face, so I used the bit of movement I still have to push his face with my feet... Unfortunately, it did not have the desired effect, though it did push him, I don't think It made things any better... What did I expect?! I don't know! I don't have many options!
"Wow! Even your feet smell divine, I'm going to have fun with this one." He began to lower his pants even more excited than before, fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Someone, something, anything! Please get me out of this! I swear, I'll become a devoted nun at the church if I get out of this one! Even if the nun outfits are atrocities...
"It's time we seal the beginning of our love, trust me, you'll be thanking me later for giving value and meaning to your life." Value? VALUE YOU SAY?! Fuck you! By aiming properly I managed to get a good hit on his balls and he fell off the bed... Now what? I can't run from that brute outside... Damn it! I got too emotional and now this is probably going to be worse... Just my luck!
"You bitch! How dare you?! I was going to be a gentleman with you! But now! You're never going to be more than a mistress! I'll even make sure to lock you in with the royal dogs after I have my fun with you, then you'll learn to respect me!!" Not good... He actually seems serious about that...
He got on the bed and pinned down my legs down before he started to lick his lips as he looks at me. No! No! No! Not this! Please save me!
It was then that.
Bam!
The door burst through as the sub-human fell off the bed, to my relief... Before I knew it tears were already falling down my face, as the stress of the moment I had pent up just exploded.
On top of the body of the brute guarding the door was what I least expected, my nerdy younger brother with the fiercest look I had ever seen, and that made an odd feeling overwhelm me, a feeling of disbelief mixed with gratitude... I couldn't explain, but what I knew for sure was that I had never been happier to see him...
Really becoming a nun? What was I thinking? That will never happen... I would be better off dead.
It looks like at the end of the day, he became my hero... Eww, I hate myself for thinking that... But, is it so bad?... Who knows?

(Zandrius' POV)
"Who dares interrupt the first son of baronet Regali?!" As the door fell down with the body of the man, I heard the voice of a child that seemed to be close to my age before looking at the scene of a naked, gagged, and tied up Crystal on the bed with an idiotic-looking scared fucker on the ground pointing at me.
"I'm going to have fun breaking your bones, you little shit." I involuntary voiced out of rage. Pulling my foot out of the swordman's body, my shoe, and part of my leg were now covered in blood just like my arm.
Not minding that, I walk toward the little fucker on the ground.
"Get a- away from me! You... If you do anything to me my father will definitely use all the family's resources to destroy you! I'm sure that- AAAAAHHHH!!!" Before he could finish saying whatever his idiotic brain had come up with I stepped on his leg breaking it.
Once I made sure he couldn't just run away, I turned to Crystal before turning to go get my dagger, she seemed like she wanted to say something, but I came back pretty quickly with the little shit still on the floor screaming.
From then it was not hard to cut the rope and cloth restraining Crystal.
She immediately hugged me the hardness she ever did with tears in her eyes, and while I appreciated the moment, not only was I too mad to enjoy it, but it was not the time or place for that.
"You're still naked." I remind her.
"I don't care! I feel better this way." Contrary to my expectations she kept hugging me.
"Fine, but let's get you some clothes and get you home." I say but she refused to let go of me, so I had to get her clothes while in this state until she eventually let go of me.
Then I found a different room and took her there.
"Now wait here for a bit, I'll be right back." I told her before turning around, but then I get my arm pulled slightly trembling by her trembling hand.
"Don't go... Don't leave me alone..." She looked at me with teary eyes and a level of sincerity, I was not accustomed to seeing from her.
"I promise, I'll be back, I just need to make sure it's safe out there, ok?" I pulled her in for another hug as I explained.
Even so, she refused to let go of me for a bit before I could finally leave the room. From then, I went downstairs and eliminated all of the maids as unfortunately, they were witnesses. Then I began searching the whole place for a safe of sorts, but couldn't find one.
Having finished that, I headed to the main room where the dead body of the swordsman and an unconscious little shit could be found.
This was followed by me walking close to his body and casting {Water magic: Water Ball} to wake him up.
"Huh! Huh! Huff! Huff!... Stay away from me! You're to regret this when all of your family and frien- AAAAHHH! Stop!" I didn't let him finish his sentence before I broke one of his fingers and continued to do so for every single one of them. I wish I could just take my time with this, but I have to take the girls home, and it's too dangerous to just leave him here, so I have to end this here and now.
Once I saw his face of pain and fear after I broke all his fingers, I made the last move by killing him with the dagger I got from the first guy.
A waste, but I can't be indulging in torture with as little time as I have. For the next part, I kept the body of the swordsman with all of the blood in my inventory. Then I went to go get Crystal and took her to where Lilian was. They hugged and cried together upon seeing each other.
While that was going on I told them to wait and went to get the body of all the other men I killed and kept them in my inventory with all the blood as well.
That done, I went to get the girls. On the way home, they were both clinging to one of my arms, and even seemed to be giving each other side glances with that back-off energy.
It was then that I knew it was going to be something to live in my house now. Honestly, I just hope nobody checked my room yet, or I'll have a lot of explaining to do.
