"Yo Wrath, are you just going to not acknowlege what you just did? You executed that guy without breaking a sweat!" exclaimed Greed as she pointed at the lifeless body of Earthblood.
"I couldn't have done that, that's for sure, not if I am not getting paid an ample sum" she added afterward as she walked toward the corpse, checked its pockets to see if she could get a few coins but he was penniless, so she just pulled some of purple gem out of her mouth and the body disappeared when it lighted up.
"Is that spatial storage? I guess you of all people would have that" remarked Wrath.
"Don't change the subject, this guy actually was something, he wasn't dog shit is what I mean, why don't you do that all the time? You could have killed all those people in less than a minute with that technique of yours" spoke Greed as she gesticulated her hands in the air, sending dust floating up all around that quickly returned to her.
"Only a fool would do that, there is no need to use a meteor to kill a bunch of ants and he brought it upon himself, he slightly pissed me off" responded Wrath, falling silent afterwards, signaling that she wouldn't be answering any other questions.
Greed sat beside her and somehow closed her eyes.

"That's unbelievable, Earthblood was a pure warrior, he did nothing but fight to perfect himself, how could he have been instantly killed when performing such a powerful attack? I saw him punch through solid rocks without exerting much strength and he was fine afterwards!" monologued the pig man as he rubbed the bridge of his snout, no one else was interjecting.
"At least we got confirmation that the red-haired woman is, in fact, the one we were looking for but how does that make sense? Who the hell put an illusion or whatever on all of us and decides to reveal what they look like, if they wanted to be found quickly they wouldn't have put an illusion preventing us from working normally, nothing makes sense!" he exclaimed, the other waited a few moments but seeing that he wasn't about to continue ranting, the man with the antlers spoke up.
"We also learned that she was accompanied by a strange looking blonde person, the person we sent thinks it's also a woman and that she is an undead of some sort" he added.
"Great, there are two of them and one of them, only one of them decimated the strongest fighter in a few seconds without even being grazed by him, there are only two things that we can do and on of them will never work, I am sure of it so let's just skip it and go to the only one left" the lizard woman said, making everyone sigh as they realised that they would have to beg Heilig to help them.
"Surely, we can come up with something to make them think that we aren't just incompetents?" spoke the horned man as he scratched one of his horns.
"But what bullcrap could we feed them? It needs to be somewhat convincing" uttered the goat man as he leaned back in his chair.
"Maybe we could say that she is a specific being that they wouldn't be able to confirm without coming here?" suggested the man with the antlers as a human with very pronounced facial features and thick eyebrows decided to speak up for the first time.
"In my tribe, I heard that there were lots of beings that could be both anything and didn't have any affiliation with others governments" he said, getting the attention of everyone.
"A devil is too implausible and so is an angel, it seems like she is a human, so why not say that she is one of those that are meant to represent a concept?" he continued.
"I see, like those astrological signs and stuff?" spoke the horned man.
"That makes sense but since Heilig is highly religious with all kinds of gods, why not go with the ones linked with that kind of things?" suggested the lizard woman.
"So say that she is a sin or virtue? That's what thay are called right?" wondered the goat man.
"Hold on a moment, you make sense but I don't think one of those is much more probable than a devil or angel, I feel like there is a high chance they'll ignore that completely and think of us as complete lunatics too" the pig man had some reserves.
"Also, aren't all of the known sins confirmed dead? That would leave only the virtues and as the name implies, I don't think it would fit the profile of a mass murderer" he then added, he made sense but it wasn't like they had much room to move in, it was either they got help or hoped she would stop by herself, counting on the second option would be utterly stupid.
They could only ask for help.
"Alright then but getting a message to Heilig will take a long time even if we employ some people with flight, what are we going to do about our red-headed psycho during that time? I have a feeling that if we don't do anything we'll just make the situation worse" conceded the pig man after a bit, to his question, two main answer rose up.
The first one was just to send a few warriors every now and then to keep her occupied, she was just waiting in that one spot after all, she must be waiting for something and it must be bodies to pile up.
Sending people to a certain death always left a bad taste in any leader's mouth but sometime it was necessary.
The second one was to try and be diplomatic with her, it was highly unlikely to work at all, usually, when someone was the first to attack, it meant they weren't up to discussing at all but they didn't know, maybe being friendly with her was the way to go.
No one believed that but they would at least try before sending soldiers to confront her.
They attempted that next and all that happened was a decapitation, having their answer, they sent a harpy to carry the message alongside some other people that could fly and proceeded to send bands of soldiers to make sure she wouldn't just start to walked through their country while swinging her sword at everything with a pulse.
Their fate was expected as they were brutally murdered but for some reason, it was never quite as fast as it had been with Earthblood, as if she was holding back against them, a scary thought since she was folding their bodies as if they were shirts, alongside their armors, they had to switch the one that was observing all that as the sight of mangled bodies started to make them lose it.
It hadn't even been a week since they had sent the group of messengers and it seemed like their travel had already ended, except that it wasn't in the way the leaders would have expected.
They had been intercepted while crossing through Mawlique and in their stead, a strange man had shown up, claiming to be a court official of Mawliqye even though his appearance clearly said otherwise.
