Claudia began breathing more heavily as both chains of the captives were cut into pieces. It was the old man who first leapt at the Calias, wanting to devour him whole.

Just like the elderly's appearance changed, so did Calias'. His grew sharp and long claws, two fangs similar to a vampire could be seen erected from the upper part of his lips.

Amused, Arthur laid back and watched the amazing show that's about to begin. Claudia became breathless as she saw her son being attacked and pinned on the ground in just a few seconds.

She was facing the two beasts and was unable to look at Lucy and Arthur behind her but she still kept trying to save her son and begged non-stop but to no avail.

Arthur turned a deaf ear and merely gazed at her with a chilling look.

***********

Unbeknownst to Arthur and Lucy, right where they fought the little girl and the man who could freeze time, there appeared four figures which appeared from a grey portal.

There were two familiar figures which were the little girl who had a hesitant look on her face, and also the middle-aged man who had an extremely ugly expression but still didn't dare voice out his thoughts.

"I can't believe you came back like that after one loss against some trash from an inferior planet!"

One of the two unfamiliar people rebuked them loudly, there was even some saliva which landed all over their faces but they still hang their heads low and remained silent.

The two new silhouettes were actually two old men who wore white robes and had two long staffs on their back. After shouting at their juniors for a while, they turned around left after saying those words

"Make haste and quickly finish our plan. Bring bigger quantities of undead here, we can't allow them to remain in our world any longer!"

With that, he flicked his hand and flew away with the other elderly.

Once they were sure their two superiors were gone, the man angrily punched the ground and cursed loudly

"Motherfucker! I ain't staying here any longer."

He opened something akin to a portal and was about to step in when the little girl hastily stopped him

"W-wait! They'll surely exile you if you were to disobey them."

The man was still uncaring, he glared at her and said

"Fuck! Do you I have the look of someone who cares about that? Go fucking look at their moon then see if you still want to stay here!"

Without any hesitation, the man disappeared from her sight, leaving the little girl confused and fearful. She looked at the moon which could barely be seen in the evening. Still unable to find anything useful, she flew straight towards it but half-way there, her face became extremely pale. She staggered and remained floating there for an unknown period of time before she did the same thing as the middle-aged man and bailed out.

It is a common thing for small planets to have a guardian which protects it from any disaster that could eradicate all living beings on it. However, when the duo came here at first, they didn't bother looking for the Guardian as he couldn't be that strong since all Humans on Earth are really weak.

However, after being beaten by Lucy and Arthur, the man sneakily was curious about why there were two monsters hiding here. To his surprise, he found even more terrifying beings living here.

To top it all, one of the Seven Deadly Sins was actually guarding this planet. Almost everyone in the Cloud Sea Universe and the System Universe knew that Sloth was working for the System but they didn't know that he was actually a guardian of an inferior planet!

No matter how much his clan was powerful, it can't face Sloth, it was just absurd. Moreover, the reason he didn't stop his two superiors or even tell them the truth was because he had no special affection for his clan nor did he have any loyalty. Although he had decent strength, his status was incredibly low which is why he was assigned to do such a simple task.

Who would have thought it'll lead to this.

*****************

The battle between the two ex-humans, who lost their humanity and resembled real beasts, became fiercer and the two of them became more aggressive and ferocious.

Blood splattered everywhere and limbs were torn off. At the end of this battle, which lasted a little over fifteen minutes, there was only a creature that resembled a dark Goblin which gnawed on the corpse of its enemy. It grabbed the intestines and devoured them then moved the limbs, eating the rotten and dirty flesh of this lifeless body.

With a face as white a sheet of paper and a trembling body, Claudia started crying as she looked at the body of her kid, which was being eaten.

Even until his last breath, he suffered greatly from the pain of being eaten alive and the starvation he was feeling.

"Why... why...."

The grieving woman was muttering the same word as she soullessly stared pile of meat in front of her. Her eyes were hollow and her lips were trembling. She truly loved her son and doted on him, in fact, he was her only family.

Now that he is gone, she couldn't help but feel sad and incredibly angry.

"What did I do to you to kill my son! LUCY!"

Claudia crazily yelled, though she couldn't directly stare at Lucy and Arthur, she was still directing her words to them. She was still unable to comprehend why would Lucy do this cruel thing.

As she said that, she felt that the restraints around her body disappeared thus making her fall on the ground. Without any hesitation, she turned around and threw a weird looking bomb at the couple. Unfortunately, before it traveled even a meter, the bomb disappeared into nothingness.

"I WILL KILL YOU TWO!"

Enraged, the woman ran at them prepared to trade her life with theirs. Her emotions were in disarray and instead of carefully thinking about a plan, she just aggressively charged at her opponent, which was unlike her. However, the death of her son affected her state of mind too much

SLAP!

Claudia's body was sent flying as Lucy slapped her face turning it a pig's face. Her cheek became awfully swollen and she even lost four teeth.

"You still the audacity to question our actions when you know full well what you did. Not to me but to all the people you incriminated, killed, and... tortured."

Hearing the last word, especially, Claudia's body shook for a split second. In all of her life, she personally tortured only one individual.

'No! How could she know about that?!'

Claudia panicked but didn't show it on her face. She spat some blood and glared at Lucy then at Arthur who was next to her.

"Do you think I will let you off after I did? I'll repay today's debt a thousand's time over!"

Claudia laughed hysterically and sneakily retrieved a weird looking grey orb. A drop of blood landed on the orb hence causing it to glow with a mysterious white light.

This item was one of the rare loots that dropped once in ten million monsters. It's priceless and Claudia only managed to acquire due to pure luck.

It only has one function and it's to teleport the user to a random location on a radius of five thousand kilometers. As her body began to disappear, she glared at the two of them with a piercing glare.

Unfortunately, just as she was about to escape and breathe a sigh of relief, Arthur waved his hand, shattering the space that was enveloping her and destroying the small grey orb.
