Nighttime, upper Lanarita district, in Freya's mansion master bedroom.
"It's been a month..."
Having already taken a bath, Freya sat at her desk in a nightgown, looking at the ticking clock on the wall, and murmured softly to herself.
The Healer, Kaiyar, has been in a coma for a month for unknown reasons. During this time, Freya searched for all the famous doctors in Lanarita, but she was unable to find out the cause of his coma or what went wrong.
As time went by, Freya felt she was losing patience. She didn't want to wait any longer, and she didn't want to stay there any longer.
Since the Healer can no longer wake up and has lost his usefulness as a tool, let him remain asleep forever.
This is a necessary sacrifice; there are only ten spots for brave warriors in the entire world, and we can't let a useless person take them.
With this in mind, Freya opened the desk drawer and took out a sharp dagger.
It was late at night, and many people were asleep, but she was still awake, because she was hesitating about whether or not to take action herself.
In order to level up, Freya has killed many monsters and many demi-humans, but to this day, she has never taken the life of a human.
While it's certainly possible to delegate such dirty work to subordinates, the Healer has already reached level 36. If she kills him herself, the experience gained will be enough for her to level up.
“Kayal…only I can kill him…it would be too humiliating for a hero to die at the hands of an unknown nobody.”
"As a hero of [Arts], I have a duty to see him off..."
Freya muttered to herself, and then a sweet smile reappeared on her face. She had practiced this smile for so long that it was etched into her muscle memory, and no matter how she wanted to smile, she could only manage this one.
She had no idea that from the moment she started killing demi-human slaves indiscriminately in order to level up, she had already begun to degenerate into a murderer.
Killing our own kind of humans is only a matter of time.
Rising from her seat, Freya, wielding a sharp dagger in one hand and dressed in a nightgown, walked step by step toward the door.
"Click".
The doorknob was turned, and the click of the door opening was so clear in the quiet night.
In the corridor, a shadowy figure wielding a sharp blade approached Chen Hao's room, the dagger gleaming coldly in the pale moonlight.
"Pat-pat...pat-pat..."
Freya's bare feet made a sound on the floor, but she didn't pay attention to it or try to be quiet.
This is Freya's mansion, her domain. All the servants and guards here obey her. She has no need to hide anything. As intelligent people, they know what to say and what not to say.
In their eyes, the Healer would only die a natural death, and it had nothing to do with Freya.
In this mansion, the only two demi-human slaves who obeyed the Healer were extremely weak and not worth worrying about at all.
Closer, even closer.
Footsteps echoed in the corridor, waking Tsukuyomi and Setsuna in their guest room. As demi-humans, they not only had human ears but also a pair of animal ears on their heads. The heightened hearing from their four ears allowed them to detect the sounds around them even while they slept.
Tsukuyomi and Setsuna rolled out of bed, warily eyeing the door, ready for battle.
"Click".
The doorknob was turned, and in an instant, a giant ice crystal claw materialized in one of their hands, while in Tsukuyomi's, a moonlight arrow materialized, held as if it were a rapier. Although she did not have a bow, she could still conjure a magic arrow for close combat. The two were tense, ready to strike.
The next moment, the door opened.
Setsuna and Tsukuyomi rushed forward, their attacks aimed at the vital points of the figure outside the door.
But... the figure before them was a formidable enemy they could not defeat.
"【Mental Hypnotic Magic】."
A calm chanting sound rang out, and magical light shone from the figure's empty hand. Under the illumination of the light, Setsuna and Tsukuyomi both widened their eyes.
The next moment, their consciousness blurred instantly, their bodies lost their strength and slowly collapsed, and the power they had gathered in their hands also went out of control, turning into ice dust and moonlight and dissipating into the air.
Hypnotic magic, though merely a minor first-tier spell, can unleash immense power thanks to Freya's special abilities as a hero of [Arts].
Moreover, Freya's level far surpasses that of Tsukuyomi and Setsuna, and her attributes and status completely overwhelm them. There is no need to use all her strength or be fully armed to deal with them.
"They are, in a way, two loyal slaves."
Freya stepped forward and kicked away the two unconscious people on the ground. They were too weak to even withstand a small magic spell. Freya didn't even bother to kill them, because even if she did, she wouldn't gain much experience.
These two demi-human slaves are rare beauties, so rewarding them to subordinates for their amusement is the best way to maximize their benefits.
"Next, it's your turn."
Freya looked at Chen Hao, who was still unconscious on the bed, and approached him step by step with a sharp blade in her hand.
"Kayal, I didn't want it to be like this either."
Freya spoke casually, her expression full of regret.
"In order to resolve the issue as quickly as possible before casualties occur in Lanalita, I had you undergo extensive treatment, which is why you ended up like this. Although I admit that I was partly responsible for this, I will not apologize."
