The moment Lisa whispered those words, night fell upon the world.

“Wha?!”

Everyone stood in shock as the sun was blocked out like an eclipse, and a feeling of dread washed over their bodies.

“Muhahahahahahahahahaha!”

A mad laughter rang in their ears, but no one knew where it came from.

The earth began to shake and the ground cracked open.

Gigantic spiders crawled out by the hundreds, each as large as a mountain.

*Boom!*

A black toad of similar size fell out of the sky and crushed thousands under its weight.

Karim and Dario looked up and saw countless more falling towards them from the sky.

“The hell?!”

*Boom*

Karim kicked the ones that were going to fall on them away while Dario was in shock.

“That's a pretty powerful necklace.”

He said as he continued to kick the frogs away.

That's when black tornados came out of nowhere and destroyed the surroundings. Everyone was shocked as they saw giants step outside of the tornadoes wielding weapons.

“Well, fuck.”

They didn't know this, but similar scenes were happening all over the continent.

Back at the kingdom, a woman in a maid uniform stood at the kingdom's eastern borders, and watched the world ending scene with emotionless eyes.

“[Svalinn]”

She lifted her hand and an invisible shield covered the entire kingdom and protected everything under it from the destruction. Not even the ground burst up like the rest of the continent. And all the tornados vanished before they came close to the kingdom.

Seeing this, Celina silently walked towards the source of the destruction.

Back at the center of the mayhem that seemed to threaten the entire continent, Lisa's body started to undergo changes.

Her emerald hair turned a glowing silver, her eyes turned red, and strange ancient looking tattoos appeared on her skin.

Lisa raised her hand and a gigantic mountain size cat appeared near her. She jumped on the cat, and all the monsters turned their attentions towards her. Even the monsters thousands of miles away looked in her direction.

Lisa then looked at the sea of enemies before her, and pointed.

“Kill them all.”

“RAWR!”

All of the monsters across the continent replied to Lisa's command with a vigorous roar, and then began to destroy everything in their path.

“Haaaaa?!”

The frogs started hopping and squished thousands of people under their weight.

The spiders spit demonic black flames instead of webs.

“Attack! Fight back!”

The sea of people started their counterattacks by attacking the monsters desperately.

“Die!”

It was then the giants made their move, and swung their gigantic weapons.

*BOOM!*

One swing was enough to blow away thousands of people. Two swings were enough to create a river of blood. Three swings brought hell on earth.

Maria gritted her teeth as she watched Lisa on top of the mountain sized cat ordering the monsters.

She shot off the ground like a bullet and headed towards her.

“Stay away, puny human!”

Three giants suddenly block her path.

“Scram!”

Maria arm suddenly grew and covered the sky. It was so big that the giants looked like toys in comparison.

The hand slammed into the side of the giants and turned them in scraps of flesh before returning to normal.

“Lisa!”

With nothing blocking her path Maria quickly reached her niece.

She landed in front of the cat and shouted.

“Lisa stop this foolishness and come back while you still can!”

“Aunty Maria, I have no intention of returning to the kingdom. If you all leave my family alone then, I'll gladly tell the monsters to stop.”

Said Lisa, as she looked down on her aunt with emotionless eyes.

This made Maria even more angry.

“Do you intend to repeat the same mistake as your mother?! Are you planning to throw away your life and future all for a man?!”

“If that man is Zanis I have no problem dying! I'm sure my mother felt the same way about my father!”

“You….”

Maria gritted her teeth so hard that they started bleeding.

“That's it! I'm not allowing another one of my family members to die because of something as stupid as love.”

Maria's emerald eyes turned red and her body released an aura that surpassed the earth itself.

“I'm taking you home whether you like to or not!”

Maria arm turned into a jet black beastly arm with claws.

She jumped and headed towards Lisa.

“Shit! She's a [XXX Class]!”

Owen's hesitated whether or not he should block Maria's path. He bit his lips and moved to block her path.

Owen wasn't stupid. He knew that if a [XX Class] like him blocked an experienced [XXX Class] like Maria, he'll die without leaving a corpse behind.

But he still did it. His pride didn't allow him to abandon his family.

“Move!”

“Hell no!”

“Then die!”

Maria slashed her claws in order to ripped Owen to shreds. But something happened that was outside everyone's expectations.

Someone appeared between the two and caught Maria's hand before it reached Owen.

“Wha?!”

The person ignored the shocked Maria and turned towards Owen.

“You're quite the dancer. Mind if I cut in.”

“Arsene?!”

“Yo Lisa. You became quite the beauty since we've last met. I guess it's true that love enhances a woman's beauty.

He then turned back to Maria with a smile.

“Don't you agree, 2nd Elder of the Flameheart Clan?”

“Cursed King Arsene?! What are you doing here?!”

“Nothing much. I was passing by when I noticed that you guys were having quite a party. It looked so fun I suddenly felt the urge to join you guys. But I didn't have a dancing partner, so I did what every gentleman would.”

He pulled Maria closer and put his hand around her waist.

“I came to invite a pretty lady to dance. So how about it?”

“Grr!”

Maria suddenly sunk her newly grown fangs in Arsene’s neck.

His body turned into sand and crumbled.

“So you're a biter? Kinky.”

A lone leg ripped through the space and kicked Maria away.

The leg then suddenly had a body as Arsene stepped out of nowhere like he was stepping outside a house.

“Lisa I'm going to playing with your aunt for a bit. Later.”

Without waiting for Lisa to reply, Arsene kicked off the ground and caught up to the blown away Maria.

“Get lost!”

Her entire body was covered with black fur, and her body became even more muscular. She grew a tail and wolf-like ears on the top of her head.

She swung her claws and it ripped the ground open.

Arsene easily dodged it, but the swing off her claws ripped countless monsters and people to shreds. It even looked like she ripped through the dimension itself.

“Whoa. I heard that unlike your sister, your mother was a werewolf but this is something else.”

Arsene spoke with an impressed tone.

“Shut up and get out of my way!”

“No can do. I'm doing a favor for an old friend.”

Arsene kicked off the ground and threw a punch at Maria's face.

Maria stepped back and kicked upwards to break the stretched out arm.

Arsene bend his arm and avoided it.

Maria then regained her balance and slashed her claw at Arsene’s neck. Arsene disappeared and the slashed missed.

He then appeared behind her and thrust his hand forward like a sword.

“Don't underestimate me!”

An arm spurted from Maria’s back and thrust into Arsene's chest.

Arsene turned into dust, and this time blew away in the wind.

“Screw you and your illusions!”

Maria howled and caused the heaven and earth to tremble as a giant wolf rained down from the sky and crashed into the earth.

“Heel boy!”

The wolf landed on where Arsene's real body was and started to attack him.

It tried to devour him with it giant mouth.

“I said heel!”

Black spikes raised from the ground and skewered the wolf.

“[Crescent Murder]!”

A crescent moon appeared on Arsene's chest as Maria popped in front of him.

“Die, Cursed King!”

*BOOM!*

A deafening sound rung out through out the battlefield which caused multiple eardrums to burst.

“Cough!”

Arsene coughed up a huge amount of blood as he touched the crescent shaped hole in his torso.

He took two steps backwards and fell into the 2 mile long crescent shape gorge in the ground.

When he fell in Maria turned around to leave.

“Wait up, wolf girl.”

An excited voice came from behind her which forced her to turned around.

There she saw Arsene with a crescent shape hole in his suit. But the wound was gone.

“Truly you don't think that something on that level is enough to kill a [Tyrant]? If you do then you're stupider than you look.”

“I didn't think you were dead. I just hoped that you wouldn't be able to fight for a while.”

Maria black fur suddenly turned into a solid gold texture. She doubled in size and an eye opened in the center of her forehead.

And finally, she held a menacing doubled sided lance in her right hand.

“Looks like I really have to kill you today, you god damn monster!”

“Hahahaha! Good! That's how it should be!”

A purple light covered Arsene's body and changed his appearance.

He was wearing an evil-looking purple and black armor, his helmet looked like that of a crow’s head, he had 12 jet black bird wings on his back, a black glaive in his hand, and a giant mouth in his chest.

“Let's go, Maria Flameheart! Let's paint the world in misfortune!”

“Go to hell, you cursed freak!”

“Hell is my summer home!”

The two rushed towards each other and swung their weapons at the same time.

*BOOM!*

The impact caused the space around them to crumble. They literally crack the dimension.

A giant rupture formed in the space around them.

It was a blackhole.

A single clash generated the same amount of energy as a dying star and caused a blackhole.

The blackhole devoured everything around the two.

Monsters, people, mountains, rivers, even the ground was sucked in.

The two jumped back and rushed forward again.

*BOOM!*

This time the blackhole was forced shut. But thousands of bodies exploded from the shockwave their attack produced.

Arsene kicked Maria away and slashed his weapon down.

Heaven and earth seemed to have divided when his sword swung down.

A country in the same direction was ripped in two and lost countless people without knowing what happened.

Maria who moved out of the way in the neck of time, jumped into the sky and thrust her lance down at Arsene. He used his glaive to block it but was still pushed away.

*BOOOM!*

He shot through the air like a comet, while creating a canyon underneath him.

By the time he was able to stop, he was already more than a hundred miles away from were he originally was.

But even so, Maria was already in front of him swinging her weapon.

Arsene smiled savagely and swung his weapon.

*Boom!*

The two spread mass destruction once again.

Back at the original battlefield, the people who barely survived an all out battle between two beings who reached the heights of power, continued to battle Lisa's monsters with their lives.

“This has taken a turn for the worse.”

Said Karim.

“Who would've thought that we would lose over a hundred thousand men in less than 15 minutes.”

“The battle between Madam Maria and the Cursed King caused the most casualties though.”

Said Dario.

“True. But it doesn't change the fact that we won't be able to complete our mission while that necklace is active.”

Karim stepped out.

“Dario, stay here. I'm going to collect your former fiancé.”

Karim moved to leave and then stopped.

“Even though the power of Bael’s Necklace is immense, the user's actual power doesn't change.”

He turned and looked at Dario.

“Which means that if the worse happens, don’t hesitate to kill Lisa Flameheart with Gungnir. Got that?”

“Yes.”

Karim smiled.

“Well, that's only if you deem it necessary.”

Karim then activated [Dragon Rage] and used the aura to make wings. He then flew towards Lisa with incredible speed.

However he was never able to reach her.

*Bam!*

He used his arm to block a surprise attack from his side.

He spun around and kicked Owen in the chest. Owen lifted his knee and blocked it.

He then used the black aura surrounding his body and form a snake. The snake rushed towards Karim’s neck.

Karim made a sword and beheaded the snake.

Purple lightning then generated in his palm. At the same time black flames formed in Owen's.

They thrust their hands forward at the same time.

A lightning tiger clashed with a black flame snake.

The snake intertwined with the tiger and tried the devour it, while the tiger tried to rip the snake to shreds.

*Boom!*

The attacks exploded and canceled each other out.

“Looks like we're evenly matched. Finally an opponent I can fight.”

Owen said while laughing.

“I wouldn't say that we're equal. After all, magic isn't my forte. I believe it isn't yours either. Right?”

Karim spoke with an excited tone.

“Oh? Then I take it we specialize in the same thing?”

Owen grinned and got rid of his aura. Karim did the same and the two fell back to the earth.

“Then lets see which one of us uses it best!”

Owen's body started to glow faintly as his muscles harden and the earth under him cracked.

“Fine by me. This is something the Dragna Clan specializes in after all.”

Karim body started to glow a mixture of purple and gold. One look and anyone could tell from its calm nature that this wasn't [Dragon Rage].

“Let's go!”

The two kicked off the earth at the same time. They moved so fast that it was hard to see even their after images.

Their fists clashed and shook the earth. They speedily moved back and fired a blast from their palms.

*Boom!*

The clash of the blast created a crater that even one of the giants could easily fall into.

However the two didn't seem to care and continued to attack each other.

Fire shot from Karim's hand and rushed towards Owen.

Owen disappeared before it could reached him and popped up in front of Karim.

His arm turned into metal as he thrusted forward. Karim bend backwards and dodged it.

He then did a reverse handstand and spun his body. His foot slammed into Owen's face. Even though Owen only took three steps to the side, the men near him suddenly dropped dead with blood leaking from their eyes and nose.

Karim quickly brought his feet to the ground and headbutt Owen in the chest like a bull.

Several people behind him dropped dead as well.

Owen grabbed Karim’s face and kneed him in it. Karim tried to step back but Owen slammed his palm in his chest before he could.

A blast of water burst from Karim's back even though there wasn't a hole in his body. The burst of water hit and destroyed a spider.

Karim jumped back and formed a sword out of purple and gold aura.

Owen saw that and formed a sword out of gold and black aura.

They rushed towards each other and clashed their swords.

Owen slashed Karim blocked. Karim thrust his sword, Owen dodged and swung his.

The sword cut into Karim like butter, but there was no blood spraying when it came out. Not even a wound.

“Blegh!”

However Karim suddenly coughed up blood and ran forward.

Owen followed him and swung his sword. Karim block it and thrust his sword into Owen.

Again there was no wound but blood sprayed out of Owen's mouth.

The two ran side by side as they clashed their swords.

“Haaaa?!”

“Wha?!”

“Rawr?!”

The attacks that missed their targets hit the surrounding men and monsters and instantly killed them. The monsters were destroyed, but the people died without a wound on their bodies.

The others who saw that all moved away from Karim's and Owen's strange battle. Even the monsters f seemed more afraid of them than the men who were attacking them.

“……..”

Lisa who saw this was starting to undergo mental changes.

(Kill them.)

A voice started speaking in her head.

(What are you waiting for? Kill them all!)

“Shut up!”

(Didn't they come to rip you apart from your family? Your husband? Your precious daughter? Kill them all before that happens!)

“I said shut up!”

*BOOM!*

It was at this point she felt another tremor from Maria's and Arsene's battle that seemed to be getting further and further away.

“Guh?!”

She then heard Owen's voice and saw him bleeding heavily from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

(See? Everyone you've ever cared about is going to die if this continues. This is especially true for the battle over there. You don't want either Maria or Arsene to die do you?)

“….No.”

(But one of them is going to die. Heck, they might end up killing each other. Then what about your daughter? Do you really think that they'll let her live? Hahaha! Like hell they would! She's the physical proof of your betrayal! They'll kill her after they kill Zanis!)

“Shut up!”

(Who knows they might decorate her head for you when they send it in a box. Won't that make a great birthday present?!)

“SHUT UP!”

*BOOM!*

The mountain suddenly exploded and Lisa's body began floating in the sky.

(Hahahahaha! I finally got you foolish girl! You dare to use my necklace without my permission?! I'll have you personally destroyed everything you love to satisfy my bloodlust as punishment!)

Lisa raised her arm and black lightning burst through the hearts of almost everyone there.

It didn't stop there. The dead bodies started exploded the moment they hit the ground. Blood, bones and flesh sprayed everywhere.

The monsters then started attacking the survivors. Because they were greatly outnumbered they were quickly overwhelmed.

The spiders burned them, the giants squashed them, the toads ate them, and the cat ripped them apart while Lisa rode it.

“Shit!”

Karim who saw this quickly blast Owen away and rushed towards Lisa.

Lisa turned and stretched out her hand.

“Wha?!”

Karim was suddenly frozen in place.

(Hahahaha! What a foolish brat! Do it crush him! You currently have the power to do it! Crush him! He's one of those who came to kill your family!”

Lisa slowly clenched her fist.

“Guaaaaaaaaah?!”

Karim screamed out in agony as the sound of his bones breaking echoed through the land.

(Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Show the world the mighty power of Bael!)

“Guaaaaaaaaah!”

Blood started leaking from all of the openings in Karim's body. His blood even started to drain on the earth.

If he wasn't a [XX Class], he would've undoubtedly died already.

His agonizing screams were so loud that, one might think that people of other countries could hear him.

“Lisa!”

At this time Zanis along with Ouroboros appeared from inside the other dimension.

“Not good, Zanis! She's wearing Bael’s Necklace! Only demons are allowed to use it! If a human uses it they'll be driven mad by Bael’s ego!”

Ouroboros shouted.

“Fuck! Why did she use the necklace even though I warned her not to?!”

Zanis shouted.

“B-Brother! Father!”

At this time a heavily wounded ran up to them.

“You guys are finally here!”

Zanis grabbed Owen's collar and glared at him.

“Why did you allow Lisa to use the necklace?!”

“W-What choice did I have?! We were surrounded by a sea of powerful enemies including a [XXX Class]! Even so Lisa didn't back down, she challenged them all to protect you! How could I trample on her resolve to protect the ones she loved?! The only thing I could do was to stand by her and be prepared to die with her! I didn't expect the necklace to have such an effect on her!”

Even though Owen was over a thousand years old, he has never left this mountain range. So its safe to say that his experience of worldly matters was less than that of a normal teen.

Since Ouroboros didn't leave any godly artifacts with his descendants, he never knew that something as dreadful as the Necklace Of Bael existed in this world.

In fact, today was his first real battle. However, he respected the determination to protect one’s love ones over all. Because of that he believed that preventing someone from doing everything they can to protect their family was the biggest insult. This was the same for most of the villagers.

Zanis calmed down a little after realizing this. He released Owen.

“Sorry. It's also my fault for not emphasizing the danger of the necklace.”

He then turned to Ouroboros.

“Is there a way to stop her?!”

Ouroboros his mouth to speak, but before he could-

*Boom!*

A new explosive sound rang out and drew everyone's attention.

“…………………..Eh?”

When Zanis looked towards the source of the explosion, his mind went blank.

That's because the sound came from Lisa.

More specifically her stomach.

There was a huge hole in her stomach.

“Cough?!”

Blood sprayed from her mouth as she tumbled over.

Zanis could no longer think. All he could do was scream the name of his beloved.

“LISA!”
