To outsiders, it might have looked the same as well, Gracie had slain a High Rank Noble with her axe, and then immediately, flames arose from nowhere to incinerate the body, leaving nothing behind. The remaining two High Rank Nobles screamed and shouted in terror, but this did not evoke any mercy. Although Gracie was puzzled, the divine wrath she sensed fueled her into such a frenzy that she showed no mercy, continuing to relentlessly kill the two High Rank Nobles (now mere lumps of flesh), ignite them, slaughter their entourage of soldiers, and burn all their belongings to ashes.
"...Why do they not resist? Is it an illusion?" Gracie was baffled; she even began to suspect that it might be some sort of conspiracy, some kind of illusion, designed to make her break her sacred oaths?
No!
