As Dorian was walking, he accidentally bumped into Karmine Grace. He noticed that both Karmine and his brother had swords with them, as if they were ready for a fight.347Please respect copyright.PENANAbXR07z0RtU

(I can't help but wonder where those guys are headed, all worked up like that. It's not really my problem, though. I need to get going or I'll be late for my meeting with Luna. She's waiting for me.)347Please respect copyright.PENANAQgUgWPjlff

347Please respect copyright.PENANAhgOhyt6ARv
Dorian - Wow, this is beautiful!347Please respect copyright.PENANAhlUDbIu9UZ
347Please respect copyright.PENANA2aWrOSGBha

347Please respect copyright.PENANALjLnUa3AeM
Dorian - Luna, I'm sorry...347Please respect copyright.PENANA3o7bpwyVVL

347Please respect copyright.PENANANfAVC2zb7a
As they arrived at Lunadea's house, they were confronted with the horror that was unfolding there. The house was on fire, and Lunadea's mother was outside with her clothes torn and the Grace brothers standing nearby, threatening the villagers.347Please respect copyright.PENANAFi0lbTpX9j
347Please respect copyright.PENANA3XhzBatAF7

347Please respect copyright.PENANAeLSSfwfQqu
Dorian sprinted towards them, determined to reach them before it was too late. Despite being significantly faster than anyone else, he barely managed to intervene as Cop was about to strike Luna with his sword and Luna was about to touch Cop's face.347Please respect copyright.PENANALE3ZWxpmtc
347Please respect copyright.PENANARxqsIyQbAO
Cop - Yes, good one Dorian. Help your little Dämoneneko pet. But what now? Oh, I know, lets r*** her just like we did her mother.347Please respect copyright.PENANASRcP6CAsfB
347Please respect copyright.PENANArKbPvSAgvA
Luna's face was expressionless as she swiftly grabbed Cop's sword with one hand. With the other hand, the one that Dorian had grabbed, she released flames that burned Dorian's hand and Cop's face. Cop was screaming in agony, pleading for his brother to come to his aid.347Please respect copyright.PENANAB4G4ltx0XI
347Please respect copyright.PENANATdUYOK5qcJ
Cop - Brother! Brother help me!347Please respect copyright.PENANAUhbz5fcxAH
347Please respect copyright.PENANAFa6OPEbOvb
But his cries were abruptly silenced when Lunadea expertly sliced through his neck, causing Cop to fall to the ground motionless. With everyone in shock, Lunadea turned her attention to Karmine, who was trembling with fear and begging for forgiveness. But Lunadea was unyielding, and with a flick of her hand, she released flames from her palm and imbued the sword she had taken from Cop with fiery power, turning it into a sword of flames.347Please respect copyright.PENANAoYwI6fik1Y
347Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vmphp2LzB
No one could move, no one could stop her as Lunadea wielded her fiery sword. With a single swing, she struck down Karmine, who collapsed to the ground as the others watched in stunned silence. Selene's voice rose in desperation as she yelled347Please respect copyright.PENANAVege9zp0gF
347Please respect copyright.PENANAzHjYaW1r1J
Selene - Luna! You have to stop!347Please respect copyright.PENANAHtRo7nH9SH
347Please respect copyright.PENANAet8tHrybhN

Lunadea - Mom, are you all right?347Please respect copyright.PENANAwz4y5EyQuz

Selene's body was marked with bruises and scratches from struggling against her attackers.347Please respect copyright.PENANA9CSE6lAS4x
347Please respect copyright.PENANATO4rJkLe7W
Dorian - Luna, let's get Selene to the village. I know a guy who can help her and...347Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6UaW8fqVa

Lunadea - Leave!347Please respect copyright.PENANA9PURhJLovx

Dorian - But... We... I...347Please respect copyright.PENANAPw0C9Xz0CD

Lunadea - My mom and this house are all I have! EVERYTHING! Just go, and don't come back.Tears flowed down Luna's face as she screamed at Dorian, and he was at a loss for words.347Please respect copyright.PENANAzmpcI1NL4G
347Please respect copyright.PENANAvmBMvFAPIQ
Dorian turned and left, his heart was with sorrow and guilt when he gets approched by another Dämoneneko.347Please respect copyright.PENANAlU5ecTYEm9
347Please respect copyright.PENANAYfnghYnF6S
Dämoneneko Chief - Listen, Dorian. I'm the village chief of this village, and I'm asking for your help. Can you do me a huge favor?347Please respect copyright.PENANA6zfqvPGCII
347Please respect copyright.PENANALFoB8M9M5j
Dorian - What is it?347Please respect copyright.PENANAIEaq4wSGmK

From the north, a group of Dämoneneko villagers appear, with Lunadea and Selene standing in between them.347Please respect copyright.PENANArPBnIPpywf
347Please respect copyright.PENANAAIRm1QvJoT
Dämoneneko Chief - Chief Grace, I understand that you're angry with us for the lives we've taken. I propose a bargain: in exchange for the two lives we've taken, we offer these two lives.347Please respect copyright.PENANAOWVj9HeLrX

347Please respect copyright.PENANAeR655i5xVe
Dämoneneko Chief - Fight the humans? With what weapons? What army? Listen here, Lunadea. If we do this, we can remain hidden in the woods and all of us can live. You brought this upon yourselves.347Please respect copyright.PENANA4C8CrrF50c
347Please respect copyright.PENANAFo0SmBmm7R
Lunadea - Upon ourselves? These two r**** my mom, burned my house, and tried to kill all of us! And now you're just GIVING US UP?347Please respect copyright.PENANAWaCWKEjX22

347Please respect copyright.PENANAu9BS3BcxFp
Dorian - Luna, you can't kill all the villagers. If you do, you'll become the monster that they say you are. I believe in you. I know you're angry and in pain, but show them that you're not the monster they think you are.347Please respect copyright.PENANAQeNr84z7nx
347Please respect copyright.PENANAvxODXc1EZJ

347Please respect copyright.PENANAf8cMebtYWF
The flurry of arrows was about to hit them when Dorian embraced Lunadea, protecting her from the arrows. When they opened their eyes, they saw that none of them were hurt. In front of the arrows stood Lunadea's mother.347Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ3KgM4X7v

Lunadea is not the monster who killed your sons. I did.347Please respect copyright.PENANAEyLmgvQxQT
347Please respect copyright.PENANAmBVXujv3v9
Lunadea - What? Stop... Dorian, what are you saying?
Dorian - I had an affair with the woman you just killed. Your sons saw me with her one day, and you know they didn't like me. So today, they wanted to make me suffer. When I arrived at the village, your sons were raping my lover, so in anger, I killed them. If you let the Dämonenekos leave , I'll come in quietly. There's no need for more bloodshed. They even showed loyalty when they gave up two of their own as a sign of peace. Please, give them a few days to regroup and leave somewhere else..347Please respect copyright.PENANAn8yfpKn3uG
347Please respect copyright.PENANAREJJ61KXna
Old man Roc - Chief, the kid is strong. He's fast as lightning and he can strike us all down. Not even you stand a chance against him.347Please respect copyright.PENANAHEJeeXhGNz
347Please respect copyright.PENANAFGnLlQ6kRF
Chief Grace - Pha, your grandma should be ashamed! The son of our village heroes, having an affair with those pigs. Fine! You disgusting Dämonenek pigs, you have 5 days. You'd better all leave by then, and I expect my sons' bodies returned to me at once. Take Dorian and dumb him in the cell.347Please respect copyright.PENANAiSdmVLpn9o
