"The true treat is hunting humans" My voice rang out in everyone\'s ears, causing distinct shudders to go through the very being of everyone who had heard it.

I could hear several distinct gulps of saliva trickle down their throats before some began to laugh awkwardly while others looked at me like they were waiting for me to clarify what I was saying.

"Haha... Good one... Anyway, why don\'t you tell us about how you killed the wyvern" One man amongst the rest asked, trying to change the subject and disperse the awkward yet tense atmosphere.

"Oh? You think I am joking?" I laughed out loud, causing several others to gulp down air, realizing that their mouths had become exceptionally dry.

"Don\'t you just love it when your prey screams out for help, hoping that you would spare them due to how pathetic they are?" I asked while getting off the stool I had been sitting on alongside Laila who was currently looking at me with a weird expression.

"Don\'t you love it when you see a gleam of hope within their eyes, just to utterly shatter it with a single swing of your blade?" I asked again, this time, however, I released a little bit of my killing intent.

"N-No?" One of the more brave men amongst the crowd stuttered, yet when I shot him a glance, his bravery shattered like a glass mirror falling on solid ground.

"Really? Do you really not imagine it ever? Do YOU not sometimes ask yourself, what you would do with a power that would trump all others?"

Their eyes were all locked on me, fright and anxiousness evident and crystal clear.

"Alright anyway, gotta go" I waved at them before simply disappearing from the bar, the only one being able to see my blurring figure being only Laila herself,

[What a way to tell them to f*ck off]

\'I know right\' I chuckled as I descended slowly and landed in front of the apartment both Olivia shared.

[Oh yeah, you didn\'t tell Olivia that you weren\'t going to come for the night, right?] Hela asked with a minuscule amount of worry in her semi-robotic voice.

\'Oh, crap...\'

[Yeah...]

*Click*

Walking into the apartment, I felt like nothing was wrong.

However, the moment I looked toward Olivia\'s bed, I felt like my world had flipped on itself.

"Olivia?!" I dashed towards her at a lighting speed, not wasting another second before holding her shoulders that were shaking frantically.

"P-Pandora?" She looked up, her eyes flooding with tears while glints of terror flickered deep within her eyes

"Hey..." I quickly sat down on the bed and hugged her tightly before stroking her head slowly, causing her skyrocketing heart rate to drop back to normal at a slow and steady speed.

"it\'s okay. Don\'t worry, I am right here" I gently stroked her head for the next 30 minutes while whispering words of comfort to calm her down.

"Why didn\'t you come back... I was so scared. I tried to sleep but then I kept seeing it. The same dream. They kept coming at me... They held me down... The wyvern just watched and Yuri was continuously being tortured... I was so scared. Why weren\'t you here? You said that you would never leave me again... You said that you will be here when I had that dream, yet when I had it you weren\'t even here... You didn\'t come back all night... Why?" Olivia held her head as she continuously sobbed without any evidence of her stopping any time soon.

Letting out a deep sigh, I continued to stroke her head while listening to her sobs which halted her from sometimes saying something, yet instead of retorting or asking anything, I simply just listened since I didn\'t really have an answer to any of the questions she was asking me.

To be precise, I didn\'t have a good answer to any of the questions she asked me.

In the end, she sobbed for half an hour before finally falling into slumber due to both her exhaustion from not being able to sleep, and her simply tiring herself out by crying for so long.

***

In a place far away from Lagua city stood a large building, larger than any of the major family\'s mansions and even bigger than most of the palaces owned by kings all over the continent.

Within one of the rooms in the estate, sat a man with dirty blonde hair and aurora-colored eyes that shifted and turned every now and then, as if there was an energy within his eyes that circulated, causing this mysterious yet beautiful scene to occur within his irises.

Suddenly, when the man was simply writing down something on a piece of paper, the loud sound of the door slammed open as a man walked in wearing a military uniform.

Instantly, when the man walked in he saluted the sitting aurora-eyed man before saying-

"Brigadier Raven! We have found the person, or in particular, we found your daughter and where she is as well as where she will be within the next few days" The man shouted with an expression of excitement as if he was just as happy to find the man\'s daughter as the man himself.

Even though the man, who also happened to be my father, looked furious when he saw how the soldier simply barged into the room without knocking, his expression of anger had immediately been dropped before being replaced by one of joy and excitement.

"Do you have the file on you?" My father asked the soldier while trying his best to suppress his facial expression from changing.

"Of course sir, here you go" The soldier did not waste another second as he placed the folder on the table before retreating a few steps back, allowing my father to read the file for a bit, just for his eyes to widen and his expression to turn sour.

A few minutes later, one could see that his expression had changed from the once joyful one to one that was riddled with anger, disappointment, and most evidently, guilt.

After reading for a bit longer, he slowly placed the folder on the table once again, this time seemingly in his own world as if she was trying to contemplate something.

\'Is this why Xela wouldn\'t tell us anything about her? Clara, Throid, and Alan wouldn\'t say anything either because Xela refused... The people who were around at the time though did say something about how Pandora\'s power was similar to the power Xela used when she activated the necklace...\'

\'If that wasn\'t enough, it says that she was capable of killing a wyvern single-handily, but at the same time, I can only guess that the girl from the crimson family had helped her out.\' My father\'s expression worsened by the second as all the possibilities went through his head.

\'But they said that she had killed a few of the Diamond tier beasts before forcing them to run away... And let\'s not forget all the scorch marks alongside the distress warning we got from the King of the Eliro kingdom, saying that a girl with black armor and a black and gold mask was trying to kill him.

In the end, my father was forced to stop thinking about it for both the reasons that, firstly, there wasn\'t much proper information about me since most of it was conspiracies, and secondly, due to feeling like his head was going to explode if he were to think about it any further.

Yet in the end, a set of numbers were deeply engraved into his mind, not enabling him to think about anything other than it.

\'Kill-Count= Unknown (Difficult to keep track of)\'

\'Estimated Threat Level= Kingdom+\'
