Even though the forest is dense, they could tell night has fallen among the land, the beautiful neon glow of the leaves from the trees brings a slight calmness in these strange times. Liliana and Amanda are standing in the darkness of the forest, waiting for the Hunters.
Meanwhile inside the house, Mihara has made tea for everyone to calm their nerves especially Mason's since he seemed worried. Time and time again he felt useless and this was no different— he wants to fight as well to protect his family. Realistically though, what can he really do in a fight against Valkyrie? He knows all he would do is get in the way and put them in even more danger. All he could do is wait. In a world where women are stronger and superior to men, he didn't want to be a burden to his Valkyrie, Amanda and his mother. Mason grips the cup of tea hard and drinks it, he looks around the room and the girls are looking right at him. He is frustrated and they could see that, so he calms down not to worry them.
The wind blows through the trees, almost like they were whispering to the ladies that danger has come. They could hear multiple footsteps approaching them rapidly and were not slowing down, Amanda and Liliana were smiling at each other. Amanda walks to the back— while Liliana walks forward with a smile, just as Mason has told them, he was a target, he was right. Three figures dressed in black with only their eyes visible stood in front of Liliana. They all pulled out daggers laced with poison on them, they threw their daggers toward Liliana with speed and precision, she dodged them with ease, they surrounded her and attacked from all sides. These Hunters have had a lot of experience, their movement and attacks were methodical but so was Liliana, she was able to block and dodge their hits.
Amanda in the back was doing a slow and graceful waltz, underneath her a magic circle appeared, it glowed red and got brighter as she continued to dance, her beautiful incandescence hair lit up the darkness of the world, like a candle fighting for control. After she was finished dancing her body emitted a red aura, she slowly lifted up her Witch Staff and casted a spell. "Greater Fireballs!" in the air these giant red orbs of extreme heat materialized above her.
Liliana dodges one of their high kicks by going underneath it, then she pushes a Hunter with the palm of her hand, sending her flying and hitting the tree. Another Hunter jumps into the air and tries to land a hit on Liliana's head, she sidesteps the attack and elbows the Hunter in her ribcage, then knees her arm with great force, you could hear a bone crack. Liliana has had a smile on her face the entire time, she isn't done with her, she removes the Hunters hood and grabs her by the hair slamming her down on the ground face first. The third Hunter slashes at Liliana with her Dagger from behind and manages to cut her arm, it doesn't seem like the poison is taking affect though, Liliana is not phased at all.
From the pitch black darkness these red balls of light are screeching toward the Hunters, they try to dodge them but even when the fireballs miss, the impact of the flames jump out and give minor burns to their bodies. Liliana picks up the girl she slammed on the ground by her hair again and lifts her up with one hand and walks in the path of a fireball coming down. It hits the Hunter directly in the face, while the impact of the flames are being blocked by her body, Liliana is not hit by a single flame. The Hunter screams in pain as her face is charred, within seconds her entire face turned black, ashes were falling off, she had no eyes, no teeth, you could only see the eye sockets and the hole of the mouth. After the struggle, she became motionless, Liliana tossed her body aside like if she was a broken doll. She slowly turned around with a smile to face the other two Hunters, they were freaked out by what they saw, they were not expecting to meet high level Valkyrie like them in this place. They had a mission to complete so running away wasn't an option, one of the Hunters decided to run past Liliana and go towards the house, the other Hunter kept her busy. She punched Liliana in the face and she took it like it was nothing.
"You Hunters are weak." angered, the Hunter quickly pulled out another dagger but Liliana took it from her as she swinged it, trying to stab her in the head. She pierced the Hunters leg with her own dagger, the poison started to take affect, causing her extreme pain. You could hear her echoes throughout the forest, she fell to the ground holding her leg and crying. Liliana stood there emotionless, staring at the Hunter, watching her suffer. "No one is taking him from me ever again, no one."
"You stupid fool, my ally has probably already killed the man in the house by now, we have completed our mission here, ahaha!"
Amanda slowly stepped out of the darkness, she was dragging something in one of her hands, it was the other Hunter, she was pulling her by the hair, the Hunters throat was slit, as she dragged her, blood was gushing out leaving a long trail of blood as she walked toward them. She then tossed the body next to the Hunter still alive.
"No Hunter, you have failed your mission today."
"W-Wait please spare me!"
Amanda walks up to her, kicks the Hunter in the injured leg, then stomps on her face, her heel ends up in her eyeball, as she pulls out her high heel from the Hunters face the eyeball comes out. She rubs the eye off using the Hunters clothes. "No mercy to those who hurt my family right Liliana?"
"Yes, if more dare to show their face here or try to come after my sweet Mason, then they will die."
"Let's go home now."
"Yeah let the Drakes eat their worthless corpses."
