Their strategy was like before as now the four women were stronger than before due to Austin's milk nourishing them.
Before going, he took them to Avalon, which had an abundance of mana in the air, to put several strong barriers to protect their bodies, and if anything that threatened their lives happened, they would be summoned back to Avalon where they would be healed and kept there.
Now with everything ready, they started the mission, all the members of the association were participating in the mission where they were split into some groups or teams and each of them was assigned a mission to eliminate one of the forces under Edwen Black's command, And Asagi and the others were assigned to eliminate one of them.
Frankly, Austin didn't want any of this wives to face these forces as he didn't want them to get hurt, but he also knew that it was important for them as well as it would give them more and more experience in fighting, although they fought many before but the more the better, right?
Although Edwen seemed overpowered like the cannon, but here it's very different, because in the cannon there was magic and abundance of mana in the air but here it's the opposite and the the proof was Austin himself as he can't use intermediate or high level spells at all, only basic, especially those that don't require much mana.
But better be cautious as he had some dangerous abilities that could cause mass destruction.
Edwin was the CEO of Nomad Inc. that do some suspicious operations in the dark under his surveillance, everything he is doing was for the ultimate goal, his Utopia.
Anyway, Austin along with his wives and Yukikaze teleported to the exact location mentioned in the message.
It was in a villa in Karizawa. They saw the guards who was guarding the place and the surroundings like hawks that if a rabbit jumped out by a chance it would be killed instantly.
Austin found it effortless, thanks to his skills and strength. His spouses, skilled Ninjas, swiftly dispatched the guards at the gate, their recent power boost making it even easier. Asagi and Sakura materialized behind the guards, swiftly decapitating them.
Thud!
Then they continued and killed all the guards along the way.
As Shiranui, Violet, and Yukikaze ventured into the forest to confront the three perilous demons surrounding the villa, Austin provided their precise whereabouts before heading indoors to engage with the demon there, and play with him a little.
"Hooo how can a little rats like you come here? Well it doesn't matter much as you will be killed here and now." One of the demons said with a sinister smile while taking a great sword from his back while the other two pulled their weapons.
One was with an axe and the other with a spear.
"I will take the spear user." (Shiranui)
"Then I will deal with the great sword one. I want to test my new power." (Violet)
"Okay I will take the last one." (Yukikaze)
Shiranui immediately dashed at the spear demon in a very fast movement leaving an afterimages which made the demon very surprised by her speed but it didn't end here,
as when she suddenly reached in front of him, she thrusted her spear at the head of the demon aiming at evaporating it with a strong thrust while coating the tip of the spear with her inner energy.
But likely he dodged it in the last second making the attack hit the tree behind.
*BOOOOOOOMM!!*
The trees behind the demon evaporated leaving nothing to see, which made him have cold sweat on his back and forehead. This is an indicator on how strong she has become.
'Shit, if I was hit, then I'm done.'
The demon immediately took the chance and attacked her with his spear.
Clang!
"Damn it!"
"Not so fast you filthy demon."
"Just shut up you bitch." The demon said with annoyance as he hated being called filthy, even if it was right.
Suddenly, Shiranui attacked from the side in a fast speed wanting to cut his head off, but this time the demon blocked it with his spear.
Clang!
'So heavy! How can her attack be so heavy like this?!'
The demon thought while Shiranui didn't give him time to breath and continued attacking from all directions.
Up, down, right, left, she attacked fiercely making the demon have no choice but only defend and dodge, if he could.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sounds of their spears hitting each other echoed throughout the forest with sparks flying everywhere.
The demon who was defending himself didn't go unscathed from her attacks, as cuts and wounds began to appear on different parts of his body.
The demon was similar to a human indicating how strong he was as the more similar a demon to a human the stronger he became, the only difference was the abilities he had.
The spear demon was like a man in his 30s with short black hair and black eyes, he was wearing a black tuxedo by the way.
'She is hitting all my vital parts with her attacks. If I didn't block them, then I'm done for really.'
Clang! Clang! Clang!
But with being hit and unable to attack, the demon became more angry and annoyed that he wanted to cut Shiranui into half with his spear.
So due to his rage, his muscles expanded and his body grew a little and became muscular like those bodybuilders.
Shiranui noticed this and felt something strange, but it was too late as when her attack was about to hit the demon in his stomach, a strange energy exploded out of his body, throwing her back and her body hit some trees in the process.
"What is this?" She looked at the body that became bigger and bigger than before until it turned 2 meters mass of muscles.
"I will show you how to fight now you fucking bitch!" The demon said with distorted voice while his eyes became red and sharp teeth like sharks appeared.
Shiranui stood up while little amount of blood fell from her mouth due to the impact but due to Austin's protection her body didn't have any injuries.
Then suddenly the demon disappeared or moved very fast, then reappeared in front of her.
"Huh?!"
"It's done."
Thrust!
***
Violet was facing a demon who held a great sword, he was topless and only wearing pants that made it easy for him to move. His body was bulky and full of muscules.
"Now now, how will you face me? With your hands? Or something else?" He said while licking his lips lustfully.
"Well, I don't need a weapon to kill you, you are weak, weaker than the other two. So it's easy for me to kill you." Violet said with calm and relaxed tone as if she wasn't facing a powerful opponent.
"Then let's see whether you are right or just pretending." The demon said as he dashed at Violet with his big bulky body while holding the great sword in a diagonal stance.
"Here... We go."
Sheng!
He slashed at Violet with full force with his eyes seemed excited for the aftermath of his attack.
But then she dodged easily by squatted down, making the sword
miss her by hair breadth.
The demon seemed surprised, but then smiled again as he thought that it was just a luck.
"So lucky, huh. Well the next one won't be easy. HAAAAAH!!"
He raised the sword on top of his head and slashed down with full force intending to cut her in half.
The attack was faster this time and more powerful than the before that if she didn't dodge it, she would be cut in half.
But then, something suddenly happened.
In a breathtaking display of lightning-fast reflexes, Violet intercepted the hurtling sword mere inches from her, halting its deadly trajectory with a deftness that left the demon utterly dumbfounded. His eyes widened in sheer astonishment, unable to fathom how she had managed to snatch the weapon from the air with nothing but her bare hands, defying his expectations in a moment of electrifying defiance.
He was confident that his attack couldn't be blocked or dodged with a speed and power like that, but she did it and blocked his attack by catching the sword bare-handed which was unbelievable at all.
Despite the demon's frantic attempts to reclaim control of the sword or manipulate its trajectory, it remained stubbornly immobile, as if fused in place by an unyielding force akin to unbreakable stone. His futile struggles only accentuated the inexplicable grip that held his weapon captive, rendering it impervious to his will and leaving him bewildered and powerless in its grasp.
Her hand didn't shake at all, as if it didn't bother her. Then she looked at him with disdain and said "Finished? Then it's my turn then, I want to return to my husband quickly."
Suddenly, her grip over the blade of the great sword tightened and then cracks started to appeare on it, making the demon open his eyes widely in shock.
Crack! Crack!
The cracks increased until the blade of the great sword shattered into small pieces.
"How did y-"
"Enough talking shit." She said as with a swift and forceful punch to his abdomen, she sent shockwaves through his body, causing him to gasp for air as his mouth fell agape in agony. His torso contorted in pain, arching backward as the impact propelled him through the air. The sheer strength of his physique shattered several towering trees upon impact, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
She didn't stand still and charged at him with fast speed, appearing in front of him in a second before pulling him up from his collar and throwing him away toward several trees breaking them as well.
"Ugh! Cough! Cough!"
He felt so much pain and several bones and ribs broke making him cough so much blood in the process.
Although he seemed the calmest among the three, but that didn't mean he couldn't get angry especially when someone looked at them as if they were shit and weak.
They were so proud of their strength and power that defeated the humans, and insulting their power and strength and look at them as if they were weak and walking filth was the most thing that angered them.
All the demons were like that, they seek strength and run after their desires without giving a shit about anything else those were the things that made them.
So being insulted and hit like that made the demon's blood boil in anger that increased with each passing second.
"Not that strong after all. You are just claiming that you're powerful but you are weak like others."
Anger!
"You've truly outdone yourself with that display. You're a disgrace to demons everywhere. Perhaps you should have been born human instead? Oh, but then again, you wouldn't even measure up to that standard! Hahahaha..."
So much boiling anger.
"You deserve to be an insect, after all, you are just a frog or even lower than that."
That was the last straw for him, as he didn't feel so much shame like now, a human insulted him, played with him as if he was an animal, and even resembled him with insects and especially humans. The most hated thing to him was being compared to a human, a mere human that he could crush with just his hand.
That was enough for him.
His eyes blazed crimson with rage, reflecting the fiery intensity of his emotions. A torrent of power radiated from his being, suffusing the air with an oppressive weightiness. His muscles throbbed with raw strength, pulsating with an otherworldly energy. As his fury peaked, his stature grew to a towering 2.5 meters, transforming him into a colossal figure, exuding an aura of unstoppable might.
"THAT'S ENOUGH YOU BITCH! I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU AND YOUR TALK! I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU AND ROCK YOU BODY AND MAKE YOU SCREAM UNDER ME! THEN I WILL KILL YOU WITH THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE!" He screamed with his distorted voice.
Violet looked at him with deadpan expression as if she'd expected that from the beginning.
'Nothing different, he is like any other demon. Easy to taunt.'
The demon moved very fast leaving an afterimage of him toward Violet wanting to catch her and crush her with his huge powerful hands.
He appeared behind her while tucking his fist back wanting to punch her.
Then he punched with all of his power that his punch broke the sound barrier and made a whistle.
"DIE!!!!"
*BOOOOOOOM! *
He felt that his punch hit something which made him smile sinisterly, but then he noticed that he hit a tree branch. His anger blinded him and made him not see what he hit or he didn't care about it and just wanted to hit and kill anything.
That branch was something that Violet throw at his fist before it hit her, and all of that happened in seconds.
The branch exploded and the impact of the punch was so powerful that it made many trees explode, making curtain of dust and derbies.
Then suddenly, he heard the voice of the devil in the air.
"No I won't."
Then he felt his body flying away in a very fast speed.
Violet disappeared from her place and appeared at the direction where the demon would land, then when he was about to hit her, she punch him again sending him back to the opposite direction.
Punch! Punch! Punch! Punch!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
With every punch, his body made a cracking sound as his bones were breaking one by one and piece by piece. It was like a melody to her ears.
With one final devastating punch, she launched him skyward, his form soaring into the air. Meanwhile, Violet propelled herself upward with remarkable agility, effortlessly surpassing his ascending figure. As she looked down upon him from above, a swirling aura of vibrant purple energy enveloped her fist, heralding the impending strike. then she said "This is the last."
And she punched him hard sending him back to the ground at an incredible speed that left an afterimage of his descending body.
B000000000000MMMMM!!!!!!
A loud sound echoed throughout the forest making the people in the forest hear it and even those out of it.
Violet descended gracefully to the ground, her movements fluid and poised. With a serene gaze, she surveyed the scene before her, where the demon's body lay sprawled like a grotesque donut, pierced through by a gaping hole, a testament to the force of her final blow.
"One adversary vanquished, two remain. I must dispatch them swiftly and reunite with my husband," she murmured, her voice now soft and melodious, a stark departure from the cold and composed demeanor she had previously displayed, offering a striking contrast to her usual self.
***
Bodies and blood scattered everywhere, on the walls, ground, grass, trees and everything was stained in blood.
The bodies belonged to the guards that were protecting the villa as Asagi and Sakura got ride of them completely in a matter of minutes as they were only low level demons unlike the other three that Shiranui, Violet and Yukikaze were fighting with.
"It's done." (Sakura)
"It seems so. But I got this feeling that there is something else." Asagi said with doubt.
"Then, let's g-"
"Shhh...I hear something." Asagi said to her sister as she heard a foot steps on the grass.
It was light and slow indicating that the one who was walking was woman not a man.
The villa was surrounded by a huge forest and Asagi and Sakura were near it when Asagi heard the sounds of foot steps coming from the forest.
And Sakura started to hear it too as it got closer and closer to them.
"Who is there? Show yourself!" (Sakura)
Then they saw her, a woman with long pink hair and amber eyes appeared in front of them.
She is dark-skinned woman wearing black clothes with an open midriff, on top of that she wears a red cape.
Asagi and Sakura knew her very well as they fought her before in the past.
"Ingrid!" Asagi said with cold tone while showing a very serious and solemn expression.
Yes, she was Ingrid, the right hand of Edwen Black and could be called his bodyguard. She was called Hell Knight Ingrid previously but she abandoned this title after she became under the control of Edwen Black.
Ingrid didn't say anything and just looked at both of them with expressionless face.
She didn't understand why her master wanted Asagi so much that he was so obsessed with her as he told her to get her alive no matter what without telling her the reason using the distraction caused by his forces.
But, she as his right hand, secretary and bodyguard, could only carry out his orders without any objections.
Ingrid is a demon from the demon realm and serves the Nine Noble Demons Families as the leader of the Black Dragon order of Hell Knights that watch over the demon realm and nine noble families.
She abandoned everything and left it behind when she became under the control of Edwen Black.
As for why she did that, Edwen Black knew that she had the power of the Black Dragon "Grenier" sealed within her and she could use its power to make herself stronger than anyone but at the cost of her soul so couldn't use it for a long time, but he saw that it was enough as the power was already too strong to help him achieve his goals and annihilate his enemies who stand against him.
So a coup d'etat between the Hell Knights made them under his control along with the Nine Noble Families, then by that he put Ingrid beside him by controlling her.
But no one knew about that at all, except those who witnessed it, but they might be dead by now as no one lives to tell the tale.
Anyway, she just would carry out her master's order without any objections like a good servant.
So when she looked at them, she had an expressionless face, then suddenly took out her weapon that was a sword with golden blade that had a sliver hue in the middle with black and silver hilt.
It was a sword called "Dark Flame", it was her main and strongest weapon she had.
Then without any introductions, she dashed at Asagi and Sakura attempting to attack them both.
Asagi who was already ready for any possible attacks from her saw how she dashed at them with the intent to attack them, so she quickly took a stance with her Katana ready to block the attack.
Clang!
Both their swords clashed with each other creating a loud sound.
"Ingrid, what are you doing here?" Said Asagi with her cold voice
while still clashing with her.
"...doing a mission." She said after some time with an expressionless face.
Clang!
They clashed again while making sparks our of their clash.
"Then what is your mission?"
"...getting you alive and eliminate any other targets that stand in the way." Her voice was plain along with her expressionless voice made her seem like a doll.
Then Asagi remembered what Austin told her when he save Violet and then became annoyed and agitated, but calmed herself as she knew that nothing good would come out of it.
So she decided to beat her up and make her brain work in the right way.
"Then you got the wrong person." Asagi said as she with her sword moved Ingrid's sword away and kicked her in her stomach sending her flaying back hitting a tree in the process.
"Sakura, go to Darling and let me handle this."
"Okay sis, be careful." Sakura replied as she ran twords the villa with an incredible speed. This didn't mean that she was afraid and ran away, no, she just trusted her sister with all her heart and believed that her sister was stronger than Ingrid.
"Now it's me and you."
"... "
Ingrid didn't respond as she thought talking during a battle was one of the biggest mistakes one could make and cost him his life.
So she stood up immediately and charged at Asagi in an instant, reaching in front of her as if she had teleported.
Clang!
Asagi immediately blocked and parried her attack, then slashed her vertically with her Katana.
Clang!
But Ingrid blocked the attack and gave a roundhouse kick to Asagi that caught her by surprise and sent her back few meters in the wide grassy field.
"Cough! Cough!"
She coughed a little as the kick was strong that made her unable to breath for a moment, then she stood up and attacked Ingrid again.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
They attacked each other fiercely with serious expressions while causing sparks to flying around them from the point of their clash.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
"I will attack you until your little brain works again."
Clang!
"How will you do that when it's already working good." Ingrid said with her serious expression.
Although she was like a doll earlier, but that was because she was thinking about her mission and how she would finish it, so basically, she was ignoring her surroundings and only focusing on her mission, which was Asagi.
Clang! Clang!
"Then I will show you how."
Clang!
