"You came to my abode to seek my assistance. But in the matter of fate, I have no say." The raspy, aged voice sounded again, making them jump in fright.

"It's alright. It's only the wise elder. No need to be afraid." The head of the ten spoke confidently and tried to calm his own pounding heart. Taking a deep breath, he strained eyes in the direction of the speaker.

"Wise Elder, our Tribe Leader left the settlement on her own. Our predecessors had specifically warned against the leader leaving the settlement. What can we do to prevent the devastating consequences of this from befalling the innocent settlers?"

"Hehe...she left because she was meant to...they were bound to meet and hence, they will meet. As for you, there's nothing you can do to prevent the inevitable. Now, return to your places and prepare to welcome your guest."

Raising her hand, she dismissed the lot with a wave that brought forth a gust of wind.

Whoosh!

Bang!

Flying through the cave, the group of ten crashed outside the entrance and landed in the stack of bones and skulls.

"Ahhhhh!" The female found a bony finger in her bosom and screamed. Raising to her feet, she turned and fled.

"Hey, wait for us!" The rest of the group climbed to their feet and ran after her.

In the far end of the cave, the ghostly shadow of the hunched, frizzy white hair woman enlarged on the damp cave wall, the shadow distorting and morphing into the appearance of a floating hair witch...

Kulan raced through the hills and valleys of the East Minions Faction with great speed, his destination the place the Hunter Guild's traces were last tracked. As he increased his speed yet again, fierce gusts of wind whistled past his ears and teasingly sliced at his scarred face.

"Pick up your speed! We need to reach the rocky valleys before nightfall!"

"Yes, Leader Kulan!"

And like a horde of black ants, a swarm of black-clothed men raced against time to reach the hills of rock valleys.

Princess Qamari wanted to leave the region of battle as soon as possible. Otherwise, if magical beasts got attracted by the scent of blood, then she'd get encircled...

Magical beasts were different from humans. They were stronger, faster, and more sensitive to danger.

But more than that, they could easily crush opponents of the same level.

"Did I get lost...?" The further she traveled the more mountainous regions entered her sight. There were no signs of lifeform in the environment, everything seemingly silent and still.

And it was this very eerie silence that unnerved her.

"Skyler, it seems we have more company."

Withdrawing the sword from her back, Princess Qamari's white robes flapped in the air, shooting out gusts of wind as she stood unflinchingly fixed her gaze in a certain direction.

"Hehehe.....you're quite perceptive, aren't you? No wonder Assistant Leader failed to handle you." A rough voice spread through the rocky region before a swarm of black-clothed men materialized in a uniform fashion.

The drove of men caged her in a circular formation that expanded as their numbers increase.

'The heavens! Who's so desperate to get rid of me?'

Princess Qamari's eyes turned grave at the sight of the bulky men. She tightened her hold on Skyler and watched until the last men arrived. Stoic and silent, waves of killing intent rolled off their figures in waves. 

Compared to the first and second groups, the third group was small in size, not exceeding pass three hundred. But Princess Qamari perceived stronger elemental fluctuation from this group than she did the previous two.

"Level 2 Stage 1? The Hunter's Guild is going all out to fulfill their mission, I see. Sadly, you'll all be buried here..." A regretful sigh passed through her lips and she swept a sympathetic glance over the lot, as she fearlessly stepped out.

"Good guess. But don't you have a misunderstanding? We are many, while you're just one person. We can butcher you multiple times over without breaking a sweat, and yet, you say you'll bury us here?"

Kulan's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized the white-clothed girl. He didn't believe her guessing their elemental level was anything other than luck. After all, to glean into another magician's elemental energy level, one needed to be at a higher elemental level.

And according to the information they collected of the girl, she'd only just recently entered the Sealand Academy. So at most, she was a level 1 stage 1 magician. 

But just to be on the safe side, he decided to wrap up the matter as soon as possible.

"Go! Finish her!" 

"Finish her!

"Kill her...!"

Excited roars resounded as the men infused their elemental ability in their magic weapons and charged.

Princess Qamari's eyes gleamed with a cold, silver light. 

In the span of a few days, she had killed more than she did in the past 17 years. But with the conclusion of every battle, her desire to become stronger increased.

Because from these battles, she came to realize if she was even slightly weaker than the men before her, then she would die without a proper burial.

Twirling her sword, Princess Qamari rushed to meet the enemy.

Crown Prince Lail raced through the fields of valleys and hills, his heart continuously thrumming in his heart as he recalled his every interaction with Laila.

"Black Serpent, quicker! Go a little faster! I need to find her before she leaves!"

Heavens! How had he failed to recognize his wife?

Since the day of their separation, he constantly thought of her, worrying endlessly about her eating and rest. He wanted to see her so badly, that if it hadn't been for the Heart Land restrictions, he would've directly burst into the Southern Black Sea's academy.

But when fate brought them together, he failed to recognize her.

"Laila, Lail. Qamari, Qaliq...huuuu...did she...?" The Crown Prince's eyes filled with tears as he repeated her name and his in one sentence.

The uncanny coincidence in their similar thought process moved his heart. Just the way she'd picked a nickname that resonated with his made him realize that he had never left her thoughts.

Even when they had only exchanged a vow and were still complete strangers, she had not forgotten him.

He placed a hand on his heart, the rapid pounds filling his heart with unprecedented warmth, and smiled.

"I should've trusted my heart. On our very first meeting, when you were no one but a strange woman ducked in white, with silver-violet hair and yellow eyes, I saw your shadow in your disguise. But because of my infatuation with the appearance I last saw you, I failed to see through your mask."

With a bittersweet smile, Crown Prince Lail clenched his fist and gently pounded on his chest.

"I should've trusted my heart when it first throbbed for you as Laila while my mind constantly brought up your image as Princess Qamari. I should've trusted my heart, but I was so focused on not betraying you, that I failed to investigate the reason why I was attracted to your disguise. I should've trusted that my heart wouldn't beat for anyone other than my wife."

"But no matter. Crown Princess Consort, wait for me. I will fix my previous mistakes and take you home!"

Heart pounding with excitement and anticipation, the Crown Prince of the Amayan Empire soared through the sky in search of his estranged wife.

*

On the other hand, Princess Qamari, the Crown Princess Consort of the Amayan Empire was caught in a bloody battle with the Hunter's Guild men in black.

Whoosh!

Puchi!

Whoosh!

Princess Qamari's figure flashed like a phantom as she sailed through the group of men and ruthlessly slashed with her golden sword. Blood sprayed through the air and more bodies, thumped to the ground, shrieking in agony and pain before their strength fail from too much blood loss, and they went still forever.

Unperturbed by the mass of corpses, she continued advancing forward, her strikes fast, nimble, and accurate.

"Ahhhhh!"

"No!"

"Stop! Stop! Don't come closer!"

Kulan watched with a horror-struck face as his men dropped like wingless flies one after the other.

"This! How is this possible? They are level 2 Stage 1 Magicians! Level 2! Then why are they unable to take even a single strike of her sword!? Why!?" He couldn't understand or accept what was happening before his eyes.

How could a girl that had only recently joined a magic academy butcher hordes of experienced magicians and professional killers like she was taking a stroll through a flower garden? From her actions, it appeared as if she was doing the task only to relieve her boredom!

As he looked at the unstoppable girl, Kulan couldn't help but think of the Assistant Leader that hadn't returned.

'Did he fail under her insuppressible might?'

It was possible. After all, the group of magicians the Assistant Leader commanded were all level 1 magicians. If she could butcher level 2 magicians like a field of crops, why couldn't she accomplish the same feat with an even weaker field of crops.

"No, no! I won't accept this! I won't become a failure like the Assistant Leader!"

He withdrew a bow and arrow and took aim.

He was only a level 2 stage 1 magician as well. With the girl's ferociousness, directly clashing with her would only result in his ending. So why would he do something that would result in his death?

Therefore, Kulan decided to use Tracing Heart Arrow to directly cut off her life.

Sharp and deadly, the Tracing Heart Arrow, as the name implied, targeted the heart of the intended recipient. Once set loose, unless destroyed, it won't stop until it hits the heart of its target.

Kulan grimly watched the girl, his sinister eyes tracking her move until he aimed at her heart.

"Your struggle ends here. Die!" He roared and set the arrow loose.

Whoosh!

A sharp whistle rang through the region as the sharp arrow sailed through the air, its sharp head glistening with a green light that rotted the leaves it swept by. The arrow was smeared with poison.

Princess Qamari was in the midst of delivering another strike when a chill spread through her body and a sense of danger engulfed her senses.

Without hesitation, she held Skyler before her chest and channeled all her elemental energy in the golden sword.

At the start, she didn't want to use her elemental energy, as once drained, it would take a while to recover. Moreover, if another wave of black-robed men appeared in her state of weakness, she wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

As such, she used her pure physical fitness, honed by the elemental energy baptism, and Skyler's sharp aura to confront the elite forces of the Hunters Guild.

But this time, she directly unleashed her elemental energy without hesitation, because something that could raise her alarm wouldn't be any ordinary attack. And it was far more important to preserve her life at the moment and deal with future problems in the future.

The snow-white, creamy energy revolved around her core before flushing through her meridians and surging in the sword. Like a flood dragon awoken from its slumber, an enormous wave of bright sword light, about a hundred meters long, burst forth and engulfed the region.

Riiiiiiinng!

An ear-piercing ring resounded, and soundlessly, the entire field of rocks crumbled and caved in, burying men, alive or dead, under its weight.

Boom!

A huge mushroom cloud formed from the debris, the rocks in a mile radius that were reduced to dust rose to meet the sky. 

Princess Qamari looked around at the destruction. Her eyes turned bright with glistening wetness as pain and sadness flashed in their depths.

She didn't like the destruction of nature.

Especially when the destroyed region might have the possibility of housing innocent creatures of nature.

"I hope I haven't made too many creatures homeless." Sighing dejectedly, she turned and continued her trek.

"Hunters Guild. Three times. I will remember this debt!"

The mushroom cloud obstructed her vision, but Princess Qamari didn't mind and advanced ahead, her golden-silver eyes turning ruthless as a murderous aura oozed off her figure.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Right at this moment, as if it was the descent of the apocalypse, tremors ran through the earth and it shook violently, cracking and splitting apart, as a cold, dark, gloomy fog shrouded the sky, and blocked out the golden sun.

Princess Qamari's heart fell to the bottom of her stomach, her body shivering instinctively from an inherent fear as an unprecedented feeling of horror sprouted in her heart, and her limbs, without her conscious volition, trembled uncontrollably.

Shell-shocked and wide-eyed, she lifted her head to find herself under the engulfing shadow of...

"The Dark Jinn!!?"

"Hello...Little Princess...."
