"Really?" David stepped onto the terrace with a happy face.
He was in the living room when Virelia spoke to Ren, so he heard her words clearly.
"Zara, are you really going to take us to a luxurious restaurant after this quest?" Lily’s face bead with happiness as she had never been to one before.
Elara didn’t say anything, but her eyes sparked with excitent.
Virelia turned to them and smiled. "Yes. But you must do well in the upcoming battle."
"We will do our best," the trio said with determination in their eyes.
"Hehe." Virelia could not help but giggle when she saw their expressions.
’They are so cute!’
She said in her mind.
When they were chatting happily, the sound of a bell reverberated in the entire area.
Ren quickly closed the door and headed to the village square, followed by his group and the villagers.
At the sa ti, Axel was talking with his underlings.
They could not wait to attack the magical creatures because it was where they could take revenge on Ren and his group.
"Don’t worry, Axel. We will ensure no one notices when you attack him later." Jax said in a low voice.
"Then, I will leave it to you guys." Axel believed in them.
"Once we deal with him and complete this quest, let’s attack his friends outside of the village." The flas of anger burned fiercely in Vito’s heart when he recalled yesterday’s event.
He even could not be at ease since Lily’s face kept appearing in his mind.
"Sure!"
"Yeah! Let’s beat them up after we kill the magical creatures."
"Alright."
They agreed instantly as their hatred toward David and the rest was also big.
"Should pre- "Rian stopped his words halfway when he caught sight of Ren and the others.
"What?! She is completely fine?" Jax widened his eyes in shock.
"How... how could she recover completely in just one night?" They had no healing mage, so Luka was stunned by what he was seeing. "Don’t tell ...she drank a healing potion?!"
"But you need at least a middle-grade one to fully recover from that condition overnight?" Vito’s eyes flickered as a thought crossed his mind. "Is she from a wealthy family?"
"Hey, isn’t it dangerous if she is really from a wealthy or powerful family?" Rian’s expression turned a little panicked.
"Relax! Maybe, she got it from her organization or soone gave it to her as a reward." Axel tried to calm Rian down.
"You are right. Maybe I was just overthinking." Rian regained his composure.
"Hmm?" Ren noticed them.
"What are you looking at? Do you want to beat your ass again?" Lily shouted as she raised her fist.
"You!" Vito’s face was red from anger.
He failed to control his emotions since she was the one who injured him yesterday. Of course, he didn’t think of himself as weaker than her.
She attacked him out of the blue.
If it were a fair fight, he believed he could defeat her.
"Calm down." Axel stopped Vito and told him to suppress his anger. "Let her say whatever she wants for now. She will be at your rcy later."
"I will make her pay for her actions after this mission." Vito shot Lily a cold look.
"Tch! Boring!" Lily was disappointed.
Once everyone was gathered, Bernard stood in front of them.
"Today, we will attack the monster’s lair! We will kill them all and show them the consequences of ssing with us!" Bernard tried to lift their morale.
"Eliminate them! Show no rcy!"
"Make them pay for their actions!"
"Slaughter them! Wipe them out!"
The air was filled with furious shouts.
Bernard nodded in satisfaction as he saw their fighting spirit.
’Good!’
With such enthusiasm, he was sure they would win the battle.
"Let’s depart now! We will wipe them from this world and bring peace back to our village." He shouted as he raised his weapon high.
"Kill them and bring the peace back!"
"Kill them and bring the peace back!"
"Kill them and bring the peace back!"
They chanted as they left the village together.

"Village head, it’s their lair," Edwin spoke abruptly.
Ren and the others were currently standing on top of a cliff. The monster’s nest was located at the foot of the cliff, with a small hill on the western side.
Their nest was in an open space without any structure. Several torn tents were scattered across the ground, and a large fire burned at the center.
A low, simple fence surrounded their lair, as if it were not built for protection, but only for decoration.
’There are around fifty monsters there.’
Ren observed their enemies carefully.
’I don’t see their leader. Is he inside that biggest tent?’
Most of its followers were hobgoblins, while the rest were goblins and magical beasts.
Bernard turned to Virelia and Axel before finally speaking, "This is a good opportunity to launch an attack. Let’s carry out our plan now."
Both Virelia and Axel nodded.
Virelia approached her subordinates and said, "I can’t fight by your side this ti because I need to kill the archer and their leader. But if you keep fighting as a group like we did in training and the previous battle, I’m sure you will be fine."
"Don’t worry about us, young leader. We will be fine!"
"That’s right. Just focus on your task."
"Kill the archer and their boss, young leader. Show them how powerful you are!"
They didn’t ask her to stay by their side as they knew it would only slow her down.
"Alright," Virelia replied. "Make sure none of you dies in this battle, or else I will kick your corpses later."
The corner of their lips twitched.
"Why aren’t you responding?" she shouted with an annoyed expression.
"We...we will do our best, young leader!" they answered in unison.
"Good!" After saying that, she moved closer to Ren and the others. "Let’s show those guys from the Nexus Organization that we are better than them!"
"Un, un." Elara nodded enthusiastically.
"Don’t worry, Zara. Their leader’s head will be ours." Lily said confidently.
"That’s right," David added. "We will show everyone through this battle that our organization is better than theirs!"
"Great!" Virelia liked their spirit.
"Hmm?" Ren turned to her when she suddenly tapped his shoulder. "Do you have sothing to say to ?"
"My request is the sa as in the previous battle! We must make the most contribution." Virelia answered. "This ti, I want you to fight with everything you’ve got."
"But I didn’t hold back in the previous battle." He had no idea why she thought he hadn’t fought seriously before.
"You are lying!" She didn’t believe him.
"What makes you think like that?" he asked.
"You didn’t use magic," she replied.
"I don’t have any offensive spells. Otherwise, I would have used one." he was not lying when he said this.
Virelia turned to Axel and his group. "If they dare to cause trouble again, let’s beat them up and take their space rings."
Ren was startled by her words.
’Why do you suddenly want to take their space rings? Wait!’
He suddenly rembered yesterday’s event.
’It seems like she wants to take revenge.’
He misunderstood her words.
"Don’t worry. I will help you later," he answered.
"Great!" After saying that, Virelia stood in front of all of her subordinates. "Alright. Let’s carry out our plan and kill them all!"
Her subordinates didn’t shout this ti, as it would reveal their whereabouts.
Then, they grabbed their weapons and were ready to attack the magical creatures.
