After Aether and the Left Guardian left the inn, the woman...no, Thalia von Ravenfall woke her escort warriors, who had been knocked out by the Left Guardian.
Thalia was also a mage, so she quickly used her magic to reattach Noah Bean's severed arm.
In this world, if a mage acts fast enough, they can heal or reattach body parts before the wound becomes too old.
Thalia was known as a rare genius, someone born once in a thousand years. For her, reattaching a severed limb was an easy task.
At first she believed her identity alone would solve everything, so she didn't bother using magic. But when that didn't work, and she saw how terrifying Aether was, she became too shocked and scared to use magic on him.
Not that it would have mattered.
She was a 4th circle mage, while Aether was already at the mid-stage of Sword Master realm, equal to a 5th circle mage.
And with the Left Guardian standing by Aether's side, there was no way she could have hurt him even if she tried.
'I won't forgive you.' Thalia von Ravenfall vowed to herself .
"Enjoy it while you can. But before long, you will beg me in the most miserable way."
She then raised her head and looked at the people in the inn.
Everyone was relieved and happy that the situation had ended peacefully.
Seeing them like that made her feel disgusted.
She bit her soft cheery like lips, and blood slowly flowed from them
Drip...Drip....
Those bastards were all the same. They only cared about their own safety and couldn't say a word to the injustice.
How dare these lowly cowards!
She couldn't forgive these bastards either.
They had contributed to her humiliation and witnessed it without missing a single detail.
Although she hadn't revealed her identity, she didn't want this shameful incident to reach anyone's ears.
She glared at them.
As if sensing her gaze, they all avoided meeting her eyes.
"Escort caption." She called out to Noah Bean, who had been healed by her.
"Yes, young lady."
" Kill every last one of those filth."
She gave an order to kill everyone in the inn.
At her words, Noah Bean's pupils trembled.
He could tell she was in a bad mood, but he never expected it would affect everyone in the inn.
Still, it wasn't hard to understand.
She was the youngest daughter of the Ravenfall family, and everyone had just seen her being humiliated.
'There's no other choice.'
He couldn't blame her for making such a cruel decision.
She could have erased their memories, but it seemed she wanted them dead.
Therefore, Noah Bean shouted "warriors, kill everyone. Show no mercy. "
At his command, the Ravenfall warriors unsheathed their swords and began slaughtering everyone in the inn.
Slice! slice!
"Akkkkh"
"Aghhh"
There were vagabonds and adventurers, but against the trained warriors of the Ravenfall family, it was only a matter of time before they were all cut down.
Clang clang slice!
As the warriors of the Ravenfall family were slaughtering the inn's staff and customers,
a young man suddenly burst into the inn and shouted,
"We're all gonna die. Ruuuuun. A monster has....!!!!!!!"
Upon seeing the bloodbath inside the inn, the young man quickly turned around and ran away.
Meanwhile, Thalia von Ravenfall quickly stepped outside.
But the moment she did, she froze in shock.
The sky had turned pitch black, and the villagers were running in all directions, screaming in panic.
From above, the sound of weapons clashing echoed through the air
Clang! Clang!
Two figures were fighting in the sky.
"Ah….!!"
One of the two figures clashing in the sky was none other than the mercenary who had accompanied that handsome boy.
He was the Left Guardian.
The left guardian was clashing midair with a man in a hood, who was laughing like a madman.
Just then, someone crashed right in front of her.
Startled, she instinctively stepped back five steps.
"It... it's you."
The man who had fallen before her was none other than Aether von Noctvain.
He was beaten to a pulp, blood pouring from his nose and mouth. His entire body was bruised and battered. And as he moved, she could hear the sound of his broken bones shifting.
Aether's eyes were fixed on the place he'd been sent flying from. Then he looked at Thalia and said
"Hey, Ravengirl..cough... cough..get out of here."
'Wa...what'
Thalia was stunned, shocked by what she just heard
Aether was in a life-and-death battle. By mistake, he called her 'Ravengirl' revealing he knew her identity.
As a result Thalia was filled with rage.
'This bastard knew who i was. This bastard knew all along i was from Ravenfall. And still humiliated me..'
She looked at Aether and execute her bloodlust. As she was about to shout at him.
Roar!
A loud roar came from the direction Aether had thrown from.
A monster could be seen there. Its skin was decayed and lifeless. It walked on two legs, had a massive belly, and drool dripped from its mouth.
"A Soulborne!!" Thalia recognized immediately. Being from one of the Seven Great Families, she was well-educated about that place.
The Chasm: graveyard of madness .
It was an uncharted land, said to be as vast as the other six continents combined.
The monsters living there were called Soulborne, the strongest monsters the world had ever seen.
Then, the Soulborne laughed a chilling and terrifying laugh.
"Grrrhehh… heh… HEHEHEHEHHH!"
A cold shiver ran down Thalia's spine. She was terrified beyond words.
Her legs grew weak, and she fell to her knees.
Thud.
"Ahh... The Age of Cataclysm is here. We're all going to die." she muttered, overwhelmed by despair in the face of the Soulborne's monstrous presence.
"Hey.. cough..get out of here you brat."
As she trembled in fear, Aether stepped in front of her, shielding her with his battered body.
"Ah..."
Seeing Aether stand up for her, even in his bloody state, stirred a strange emotion within her.
