Chapter 42 - slowly faded along

Tina no longer moved.

Her body lay weak after being knocked unconscious by Anna. The glowing yellow chains slowly faded along with the remaining mana still trembling in the air.

But Anna didn't stop.

She immediately lifted her gaze toward the half-human, half-monster creatures that were now moving more wildly.

Several strange sounds began to come from their mouths.

Aaaauuuu!!!

Pkokkkkk!!!!

Warahhh!!!!!

Bbrrrrrrbbrrr!!!!!

Hero Claire, hearing those sounds, said.

That sound is similar… to what happened in the Lionia Kingdom.

Rena, hearing it, could only feel disturbed by the noise.

This sound… truly uncomfortable.

On the other side, faint voices could also be heard from the half-monsters' mouths.

Hel—p

Save—me!!!

This is ba—d!!!!

Rena, watching this clearly now, could only swallow slowly—it even felt like her saliva was too heavy to swallow in one gulp. Then she said, scratching her head.

The situation… is truly chaotic…

Now, it was already clear that these half-monsters no longer had a clear form. Not human. Not monster.

Too strange and too complex to explain in many words.

But at least this time, Hero Anna knew one thing. She muttered, staring sharply at the half-monsters.

This case… needs to be reported to the kingdoms immediately…

Hearing that from Anna, Rena could only hope that it would all succeed.

Meanwhile, Hero Claire just focused on what was happening around them.

Meanwhile, the half-monsters were still attacking the heroes—now all female. Then, with a loud shout, Mia, who had been looking for Hero Tina, declared to the other heroes, her lips slightly parted.

Everyone, fly!!!

We need to retreat immediately!!!

Seeing that, Rena was tense but on the other hand amazed—various particles of light and colors surrounded the heroes. She muttered.

Amazing… the heroes…

Hearing that from Hero Mia, one of the fighter heroes said, eyes darting around.

Retreat??!!

I want to too!!! But some of these half-monsters have been chasing all of us tirelessly!!!

Seeing that, Hero Mia looked at the monsters following them in flight, then analyzed the half-monsters' mana and muttered.

Their mana is enormous… this is clearly not a fighter or other role…

Hero Claire, hearing that, just watched, as if anticipating something to happen.

Then, loudly, Hero Mia said with her cheeks lifted.

That must be a mage hero!!!

As for the others chasing from below,

We can still escape!!!

Then, quickly, the half-monster mages, seeing the heroes flying, simultaneously began to unleash the power of their former heroic selves.

Now, their monster hands conjured large fireballs.

Seeing that, the heroes began to truly sweat in the air, including Hero Mia, who muttered with a tensed jaw.

Damn…!!!!

Hero Tina… is she safe down there…

Suddenly, simultaneously, the fireballs vanished as if the magic had been canceled.

Seeing that, the mage monsters began acting strangely, muttering incoherently.

Ahaakaa!!!

Wkajekkk!!

Yaahajsekem!!!!

Seeing that, Hero Claire said.

Just as I thought…

Meanwhile, Rena could only feel relieved that no heroes had been hurt so far.

The voices from the monsters weren't clear—whether they were monster sounds or human sounds.

Seeing that, Hero Mia was a little confused. Then calmly, she analyzed and looked inside the half-monster mages' mana structure, then muttered.

Wow… this time their mana structure is truly chaotic…

Truly unstable… even though their mana is enormous…

Quickly, Hero Anna stepped forward, shooting into the air, surrounded by purple light particles following her movements.

Meanwhile, her golden sword—

glowed again from within its sheath from the explosive mana flow of Hero Anna. Her gaze was sharp without hesitation. She headed toward the flying mage monsters, and quickly, an energy slash appeared before them.

Seeing that, the half-monsters were startled and retreated for a few seconds, causing them to lose balance and fall!!

Rena, watching that, only said.

Amazing!!!!

Meanwhile, Hero Claire kept waiting for something to happen.

Strangely, when the half-monster mages fell to the ground, below them, monsters gathered, trying to catch the falling half-monster mages.

Some fighter and tank monsters with extraordinary physiques quickly leaped hard toward the airborne half-monster mages.

And in the end, none of the half-monster mages were injured.

Hero Claire concluded.

This is truly strange… but that's what I saw and felt when I encountered half-monsters…

Meanwhile, Rena, confused, questioned herself.

How is that possible?!!

Are they actually conscious or not?!!

Strange?!!!

And this time, Hero Anna, from the air, saw everything clearly from above.

But

Seeing that, Hero Anna was still confused… watching what was happening.

Why… why do they all look like animals?!!

Hero Claire, seeing that, wasn't surprised at all.

Meanwhile, Rena, who hadn't clearly seen the monsters' forms before, now truly saw everything in shock.

Instead of dwelling on that, Hero Anna turned her gaze toward Hero Mia and spoke calmly with arched brows.

Hero Mia… It's better if you all leave now. Let me buy time here.

Hearing that, Hero Mia was startled, her lips trembling.

B-but!!...

Seeing Hero Mia acting strange, Hero Anna turned her face toward where Tina had been unconscious…

But when she looked again, Hero Tina had vanished.

Seeing that, both Hero Claire and Tina knew where Hero Tina had gone—and that was the reason why both of them could now see this memory.

Seeing that, Hero Mia was shocked. Meanwhile, Hero Anna, calmly scratching her head, glanced briefly at the sword sheath at her side, then repeated the words she had said earlier.

It's better if, without worsening the situation, you all need to report this matter to your respective kingdoms…

Hearing that, Hero Mia moved first, flying away. The other heroes also slowly left the area.

And so, now Hero Anna truly had to face an anomaly she had never encountered in her life.

And for her first experience, Hero Anna now truly felt it herself—as the only knight in Lionia.
