As I was happy to see all these things, I started to feel a sudden tension when Michael came down and was not looking that peaceful to me.
So seeing him, I forced a smile and spoke, "Brother, I know you are pretty upset with me, but believe me, I left a message and an old woman here to inform you about this event, and that old woman was even playing her musical instrument, so calm down!"
Hearing my words, his expression started to darken, and he asked, "What are you blabbering about, kiddo? Why would I feel anger towards my lovely brother, the brother of guild master 'Michael'? Rest assured, don't worry, and just follow me around!"
Hearing his words, I felt way too sketchy about this creep because surely that asshole was never this good to me, so I asked Jaadu telepathically, "Hey, tell me, is my brother with you?" After some time, he spoke: "Ok, you brat, what do you want from us? Of course he is with me; just a few moments back we left in front of you, and now you are acting like a bitch for your brother." After saying it, he continued to curse me: "Hey, don't worry about him; he is a lovely guy, and he is showing me his treasury, so don't worry, and besides that, he is far better than an asshole that I know!"
Hearing his words, I realized that now I had two asses to kick: first, this motherfucker who was standing in front of me, and second, this asshole, Jaadu! So thinking about it, I shifted my composure from innocent and childish to cold and expressionless and started focusing on electric magic, and with a deep breath, I started attacking him.
Due to my inexperience in fighting, my movements were way too sluggish, and even after using electric magic, neither of my attacks was properly landing on him, but the intensity of my attacks was surely impressive enough that it also forced him to use his skills. But due to our differences in experience, his attacks were feeling way too sharp and intense, as if he were a trained assassin, and I was barely even able to dodge his attacks. Feeling pressured from him, I started to mix elements with each other at the same time.
The toll of using these many elements was surely so major that it was making my head spin, but the efforts were pretty fruitful, so soon his movements also started to feel sluggish while dodging and blocking my attacks.
But after some time, he was barely even alive after getting hit by my elemental attacks.
But soon I felt that someone was approaching the basement from above, so I quickly used the earth element to seal him and put him inside of my inventory. And to my surprise the person who came below was none other than my sister-in-law!
Seeing her coming down, I forced a smile and tried to tell her to wait upstairs only. But when she saw the prints of battle and mana fluctuations in the basement, her eyes started to become colder, and her face started to look much more expressionless. And she asked in a quite cold tone, "Who did this? Was it you, Onam? And why are you covered in such sweat and blood?"
Hearing her words, "I realized that there was no point in hiding it anymore, and I could just blame everything on this bastard, and surely my sister-in-law wasn't an average villager-type girl, but judging by her composure, she must be a powerhouse, so this time I just had to put everything on this creep."
And while thinking about it, I started speaking: "Sister-in-law, hear me out. I sensed a strange person who was trying to approach and impersonate my brother, and while confronting him, the room got like this, and as for proof, I have that person with me."
After saying these things, I took out that man and showed him to her. Seeing the person on the ground, her face started to become colder and angrier as she spoke, "The Reaper Guild's bastards, huh? To think you guys got such nerve to come to my house and even attack my brother-in-law. You guys surely are getting ahead of yourselves, right? Thinking that just because of that tiny-puny treaty your asses are saved, you bunch of fools. But don't worry, other bastards will also join you pretty soon!"
Hearing her words, I became assured that she was also a powerhouse and she could save my ass from trouble, and seeing that I was the one who captured him will surely make my brother less worried about me.
But I had to take it slow; otherwise, the whole thing becomes nothing but crumbs, and surely this was pretty much of a great plan, but to think that my brother was right about being careful about the whole thing and never letting the guard down. But what the fuck was this reaper guild? I should ask my sister-in-law later on about them.
While I was busy thinking about all this, I felt that strange presence of that old hag again.
But instead of attacking us, she killed that person who just attacked me while trying to escape, but surely the sister-in-law wasn't only for show here.
In an instant she had crippled that old hag while lifting her throat with her grip and spoke, "Where did you think you were leaving, old hag? I knew that many things were wrong about the basement, but to think that you people would dare to sneak in such happy moments.
Has the Reaper Guild degraded to such a pitiful state? That you guys don't even remember whom you are dealing with? To think that it just took years for you guys to forget the name of this blood queen is surely worthy of pity, but don't worry, I will make you guys remember why this queen was hailed as the blood queen in the entire world!
Damn, to think that my husband's naiveness is being treated like his weakness; surely the world is getting ahead of itself! On top of this, your guild dared to mess with my brother-in-law; mark my words, bitch. This queen and my king will crush your guild's entire existence for such actions!"
As she said all these things, the dazzling red aura started to radiate from her, and that old hag's blood started to flow inward with great pressure, and while her heart was trying to pump it forward, due to the coagulation of flows.
The toll on the body started to increase exponentially, and her scream started to cover the entire basement, and seeing her blood vessels breaking apart by such coagulation and her organs starting to splash in front of her body was making her screams more intense while she was begging for mercy, but mercy wasn't a thing that the 'Blood Queen' could even offer.
Seeing this side of her for the first time, I was getting way too many goosebumps, but to think that she was always so composed and way too cheerful about everything, but now seeing her now, she was looking way too lovely. But it wasn't time for me to simp on her and now I became sure that I had become the great villain in this story with countless so-called evil people with me.
Damn, fuck you, author!
For not writing a fairy tale but instead writing this wicked and strange tale!
