"Everyone be ready!" said Ryuji.
Hellhound used the flamethrower towards us and the attack was very strong. Everyone avoided the attack and Voila rushed to the enemy to slash it.
"...What!?" said Voila while looking surprised.
Just as Voila tried to attack, the hellhound covered itself in the flames and using it as shield however it dashed towards Voila and hit her with the flame shield that was covering his whole body.
"Ugh...." Voila got hit by it but it was too strong.
I used the wind cutter however it had no effects on the monster. It tried to come in my direction.
"Oh no!" I said.
However, the monster was frozen immediately from the ground and it was Kurt who used it. Monster broke out easily and still rushed towards me while also destroying the walls that Ryuji created.
But thanks to it, the monster's attack was delayed and I avoided it's attack.
"This monster is huge..." said Kurt.
Elena healed Voila and now Voila was ready to attack again. The monster tried to unleash the flames again from his mouth and to sent it towards us, however, Voila jumped in quickly and slashed the monster 2-3 times.
"Voila! Step aside! It won't stop the attack!" I warned in a loud voice.
"Don't worry Chloe..." she said.
When the monster unleashed it's flame, Voila absorbed it using her manipulation skills. I had noticed that she was able to manipulate the magic and absorb them with some limitations. She enhanced her strength while maintaining a distance, she used the light arrows and sent it towards the monster.
"Grr..!!?"
The attack pierced through the flame barrier around the body and hit the monster. The attack didn't managed to pierce the monster too much but it made an impact on it. The monster felt the pain after all.
"Take this!" said Ryuji.
He sent the earth spikes towards the monster, it got hit by the attack and it fell down.
Before the monster tried to get up, Voila attacked the monster continuously to defeat it. Ryuji and Kurt combined their magic and unleashed the strong magical attack, the magical huge ice and rocks that arose from the ground and the hellhound caught in that attack while Voila made the distance to avoid getting caught in that huge attack.
However, when the huge smoke covering the area disappeared, we saw the monster standing on its feet. It was looking more angry as it transformed it's body to enhance the defence and attack.
"That last attack was strong, but despite that it is still standing as if the battle has just begun." remarked Voila.
"But we are ready, right, Reina?" said Ryuji.
"Yeah, thanks for buying the time. I am prepared now." she said.
Apparently her element is water so she has advantage, that's why we bought some time for her in order to let her use the strong magic attack.
"Take this! You ugly monster!"
Reina unleashed a powerful magical tsunami, the attack was not only huge but had strong attack power. However, she needed some time to unleash such strong attack while using huge amount of magic energy.
The monster was caught in that attack and was badly injured by it. The monster was worn down and had not much strength left. Reina was fatigued due to the immense consumption of energy.
"Gaaaarrrrrrghhhhh"
"Ugh....what a sound..." said Ryuji.
The sound was too strong and suddenly some monsters appeared. They were also boss monsters and it seemed like they were identical to the monster we had defeated a second ago.
"That monster is still standing despite getting hit by two powerful attacks and now it called for reinforcements, this is bad!" said Kurt.
I used wind cutters again, but it was no use. They all covered themselves in the flame, making it as their defence.
"You all did well, however, I will take care of them now." a voice came behind us.
"You are!" said Voila while she looked surprised.
"Hello Voila, you seem to improved your abilities so much and you are currently A ranked."
It was Guildmaster Ray who appeared.
"What's going on here? What are you doing here?" said Reina while confused.
"Haha, I will tell but I must defeat them first." said Ray.
"But there are so many of them and what's more they all are boss monsters." said Kurt.
"Is that so? Then I should take care of them definitely." he said.
He slashed horizontally in air with his sword and sent a flame cutting beam that slashed all the monsters in half pieces and they were all dead in an instant. It was all over in a blink of eye.
"Wh-" Reina's mouth was opened as she didn't understood what just happened.
"That is some insane strength..." said Elena.
"So, is everyone alright? Are you hurt?"
"No we are fine, and thanks for saving us..." said Voila.
"What are you saying, it is common to help each other. Anyway, I have some bad news." said Ray.
"Bad news?" said Ryuji.
He told us about the information he got from Jystice and Orion.
"No way! We should hurry up then!" I said.
"Yes, let's hurry up and stop them before it's too late!" said Reina.
"Alright then, let's go." said Ray.
"You are also coming with us?" asked Ryuji.
"Of course, I am worried about you guys and besides those monsters would have already eaten you by now if I had not showed up."
"Well, I can't argue in this case..." said Voila while accepting the harsh truth about unable to defeat monsters.
"Don't worry, you all are doing pretty good and you all will grow even more strong but for now let us focus on the main issue." said Ray
"Alright."
We hurriedly passed through the cave and arrived at Dream Grassland. This area was so beautiful that it almost looked like we are experiencing a best dream ever. Maybe that is why the it was named Dream Grassland. But we had no time for sightseeing since we were on the mission and besides we also got the bad news about drug transport.
When we arrived at the village, it looked like we were late.
"This is..!?" said Elena.
"They did it, huh?" said Ray.
It seemed like the villager used the drugs while not aware of the fact that it was the drug. Some villagers, who had not taken the drugs or who didn't need medicines, were running and tried to hide.
"They are also here....." said Kurt while pointing out the Anti-Libra members.
"You will pay for this Anti-Libra!" said Ryuji.
"Look who's here. They must be arbiters and guild members. However, you should know that you could not attack us and only those who live or belong to this village can use violence. If you use violence them you will go to heaven or hell, hahahah."
Anti-Libra members were laughing and enjoyed their victory.
"You guys are way more cruel than monsters to achieve your goals" said Reina.
Suddenly, one member of Anti-Libra was hit by the huge bullet seeds.
"E-Elena!?" I said with a surprised look.
"Please use your strength to protect me everyone! while I try to defeat villagers and knock them out and first of all Anti-Libra members would be the target... I will explain everything later." she said.
"Crap! Don't tell me she is!"
"Just as she said, let's do what we need to do right now." advised Ray.
"Right!" I replied.

Part 2 (Main protagonist's Pov)- Meanwhile at Libra base...
"Did you need something, Lord Jystice?" I asked.
"Welcome Orion, yes there is something I wanted to discuss with you."
"Discuss something with me, huh?". I thought.
"What is it?" I replied.
"Why did you suggested me to send Elena on this mission? You haven't told me yet... I thought there must be a valid reason." said Jystice.
"Because she is a threat for us..." I remarked.
"...."
"Do you remember when I reported about the blessings of sorcerers?" I asked.
"Yes, what about it?"
"I was unaware of Anti-Libra's plan. However, when they revealed that they started transporting the drugs to annihilate the villagers, I thought that it must be related to ancient sorcerers and White Tear but my doubts were cleared that they already knew about the blessings of ancient sorcerers. It was quite surprising for me that they knew something like this."
"Basically, you already knew about the information regarding White Tear and the blessings of ancient sorcerers?"
"Not really. since I just heard the rumours from among elders, I had my doubts whether it was true or not but I never got any confirmation or any proof and therefore I thought it would be just a random legend."
I lied what I told him. I already knew about the White Tear and the blessings of ancient sorcerers, however, I wanted to hide this fact for a while, for a reason. It was quite surprising that Anti-Libra knew about the blessings of ancient sorcerers.
"Now, you know that it's not any simple rumour... That means whatever information you had got, they are true. If you know something else then I would appreciate if you tell me."
"There is no need to hide anything since I had already knew that someday I may have to reveal some information to Jystice.". I thought.
"You already know about the information that you got from Anti-Libra members, about the fact that only villagers can use violence in their own village but not outsiders who were not born in that village. Secondly you also know about that Elena was born in that village...."
"That much is cleared, I believe that you have other reason for suggesting me to send Elena..." He said.
I told him the real reason for suggesting to send Elena on this mission and it was not about stopping Anti-Libra members or villagers who might be controlled by the drugs rather it was for a different reason.
"....." Jystice went silent after hearing what I had told him.
"That is the reason..." I said.
"You are aware that it is a crime, right? If this information is correct then it is simply not acceptable."
"I am aware of it but you can't deny this since it is about the lives of many people- no the whole world might be in danger because of Anti-Libra.The fact you were unable to got any information and sent them on this mission so that you can get information from villagers simply means that the answer lies within that village." I told him.
"...If those villagers also reveal the same information that you just revealed and there would be no other solution except for that one and only one answer... Then I think I don't have any rights to call you a criminal rather it would seem like that you are trying hard to stop Anti-Libra from bringing choas and destruction." he said.
"Elena is a potential threat for us as I said before...."
"... Alright, I don't think you did a crime... You can go now..." said Jystice.
"Excuse me..."
I had left the hall and I was making my way towards the entrance of Libra.
"It is good that I trained her and made her supporting abilities strong, especially her healing abilities as it will help her..." I muttered.
"This way, it will be beneficial for everyone and especially for me...". I thought.
I had been waiting for this moment before joining the ranks in Libra as an arbiter. I was glad that I met her in Kraken village.
"I had trained her and taught her many things and it seems like it is about time that she would show her abilities, she is not weak anymore and her abilities has been improved since last time.". I thought.
All I needed to do was, to wait for the events to be unfold according to what I had predicted.
"White Tear is all that matters for now.". I thought.
However, I had to consider possibilities where something unpredictable outcomes may appear.
