At most, she felt a little warm from the flames thanks to her armor. Of course, if it wasn't for her HUD, she would've simply dodged the flame and returned fire.

"Yes yes, I know. We've done this plenty of times haven't we?"
She sighed as she walked to towards the giant Bear-like person that was trying to scramble away. Before they could get up, she dropped her weapon from her shoulder and switched the Aether to fire once again. This time, she shot the Bear in the foot, causing him curl up and grab it as he roared in pain.
"Alright everyone. Unless you wanna end up shot in the head, drop your weapons and line up. Villagers, you guys round up your dead and wounded and start repairs." She shouted as she gestured to the villagers who she figured were defending themselves.
It took a few seconds before the villagers began to move like she'd said. The invaders were much faster than them, swiftly dropping their weapons and running to stand behind their sobbing Commander, who still held his foot and was rolling around on the ground. She figured he would have much more pain resistance, but shrugged it off since even she thought a wound like that would be pretty painful.
As she began to think about treating the Bear-like man, the man who was leading the villagers walked up to her while sheathing his sword. "Thank you so much for helping us. If you hadn't come, I fear we would've all been wiped out."
The man looked like and Elf, one you would find regularly in human cities from the webtoons and anime she'd watched as a kid. He was definitely handsome as well, making her think that this was something his race had naturally. Slipping her weapon onto her back and locked it in place, she held her hand out to him and gave him a smile.
"Glad to make it. Can you understand me by the way? I don't know if the language module is working or not."
"Uhm...language....mod...excuse me?" The man asked as he took her hand and shook it slowly, a quizzical look freezing one brow well above the other. Though his skin was tan, he seemed to be quite fair even after the rough battle. If it were her old world, most men and woman would swoon just at how much of a star from one of those famous bands looked. The build of a gentle and strong man, yet a hint of feminism that could side swipe you if you weren't careful.
"Oh, well, just wondering if you can understand me correctly is all." She chuckled softly as she let go of his hand. She then reached up to grab her helmet stopping as she felt the gazes from those of the invading army. Once again, she forgot where she was and sighed softly before gesturing to them. "If you can, chain them all up and put them in a secure space. I'd rather not have to deal with them later."
"Oh uh, yes. We'll get right to it." The man answered as she waved to his soldiers. The Orc lady that held off against the Bear man came running over, still clearly winded from the fight. As she approached, it was obvious that she was clearly over 6' tall, almost 7'. She was very muscular and had tears all over her armor and clothes. Even then, she was quite the looker, the torn clothes only adding to how well toned her Ash colored skin was. "This is the Oracian Vela, the Captain of the...well, what's left of the guards here."
"O-oh, hello D-Demon, thank, thank you for saving us." Vela stuttered before bowing quite low, almost headbutting her on the way down.
Narrowly taking a step back, all she could do was laugh and wave her hand. "Please, it's nothing. My name's Nix, thanks for holding out long enough for me to understand what was happening." Nix chuckled as she held her hand out.
Immediately her hand was grabbed by the Oracian, shaking it hard to the point she thought her shoulder was going to dislocated from the force alone, not to mention how her hand faired from that grip. "That was amazing what you did back there. And that tool, is it a relic from a dungeon?"
"A du-sorry?" Vela was speaking so fast that she could barely keep up. She wanted to ask more, but her HUD picked up dangerous movement. Pulling the Oracian, she dropped the girl onto the ground next to her and flung her elbow up against the face of the Goblin that thought to test her luck and try to kill Vela.
As the Goblin dropped, she drew her rifle and over charged it, flicking a switch and sending out a wide attack of electricity. Each bolt latched onto a prisoner and shocked them all together. Screams filled the air as the all trembled and drooled from the sudden voltage invading their nerves. She kept the attack going for a few seconds before finally letting them go and looking at the Elf again.
"Before we get absorbed again, tie them all up in the center of town. You can do as you please with them since they invaded you, but I will need some questions answered as well." Nix said as she attacked her rifle to her back once more.
The man seemed unfazed by the attack she'd dealt, seeming to put more effort in the surprise attack that Goblin made to his captain. With a nod, the man quickly called everyone over to tie all of the prisoners together after stripping them of their equipment. For the Commander, since he could use weapons, they pulled him to the side and grabbed a few stakes.
To be honest, it was rather gruesome to watch. In order to prevent him from using Magic, they had to stake his palms to the ground and bind his mouth shut. Just because he chanted the first time, doesn't mean he won't silent chant the second. It was hard to understand, but Nix simply took it for what it was and let them do their own thing. She'd seen plenty during her wars, so this much was easily accepted itnas reality here.
Still though, for such a remote village, these people seemed well verse in death and how to handle prisoners. This only brought more questions to be answered as she walked around to help check the wounded.
