Mary Di came out of her shock hearing Damien's deep voice. She stammered as she looked at him, "S-Senior...please...we were merely doing business...we had no idea...s-she was your disciple—"
"Business?" Damien asked as he clutched her neck. He continued, "You people have shown me how you do your dirty business. Now it's time I showed you all how I do mine." Damien said in a low growl.
But suddenly he heard someone running in.
"Senior Azrael, what is the meaning of this?" An apprehensive voice resounded from behind.
Damien turned his head and saw that it was Elder Dan who he had met first when he entered the building.
'Oh, he's at the Low Level Sky Ethereal Realm.' Using the senses of Misty, Damien got to know Elder Dan's cultivation.
A few guards also came following Elder Dan as they assembled behind him.
Damien didn't budge and said in a grim tone, "You people dared to sell my precious personal disciple as a slave. Do you take me for an idiot who would sit back and watch her get sold off?"
Elder Dan gulped and got terrified thinking what kind of calamity his subordinates had brought upon him. He saw Valentina and was surprised that an ugly girl like her was Damien's personal disciple.
But sensing her cultivation, he guessed that Damien must have taken her in for her specialty.
"Senior Azrael, I understand that we made a big mistake and beg your magnanimous self for forgiveness. We will do the best we can do to compensate you for our wrongdoing. But taking out your anger on our guild like this is not good for both sides...don't you agree Senior Azrael?" He said in an anxious tone.
"Hmph, do you think what you people did is something that can be reversed? My personal disciple is just a young girl but the trauma she had to suffer on her soul is not something that can be taken back nor one that can be forgiven. Now, all that awaits you all is death." Damien said in a cutting tone.
Elder Dan was terrified inwardly seeing that Damien wouldn't rest till he kills everyone. Even without taking into account Damien's backing, he had heard of the rumors of Alchemist Azrael being at the Heaven Ethereal Realm and was one of the reasons why he didn't dare to make any rash moves.

"Senior Azrael, no matter how powerful you are or even if you are under the care of the Xeton Empire, the backers of our Dark Sky Guild won't sit still if you take this any furt—"
"How stupid, Misty...kill them all." Damien roared.
*SCREEEE*
Misty let out a loud cry as it's eyes turned jet black and a circular jet black mark appeared on its forehead. It unfurled its humongous wings and flapped them together.
*SWISH*
*SWISH*
….
Innumerous five-meter wide jet black wind blades were released from its movements as those blades sliced right through everyone's necks including the guards, cutting off their heads clean.
Blood spurted out of their headless bodies like a spring and their heads with expressions of shock and despair were sent flying.
Elder Dan could only make minimum movements under such huge pressure as he put up his arms to block the terrifying wind blades.
"Arghhhhhh"
Elder Dan's forearms were bloodied beyond recognition and his body was sent flying backward from the impact of one of Misty's wind blades and crashed against the wall.

Misty was annoyed seeing that it failed to kill all it's master's enemies in one fell swoop.
It focused on Elder Dan and furiously flapped its wings again.
"NOOOOO!!!" Elder Dan screamed horrifyingly as he saw tens of dreadful jet black wind blades ripping the air apart and speeding towards him.
*SPLATTER*
There wasn't even much of a body left once Misty's wind blades hit him and only a bloodied paste remained which looked as if it was slowly turning black from decaying.
Mary Di had lost all her strength and her body became numb seeing such a bloody sight. Most of the Spirit Ethereal Realm beasts had finished off the guards and other people that were in the hall before.
Every single guard or elder that rushed into the hall had died and now no one remained in the hall except her.
Damien looked at Valentina as he felt his cloak being tugged at. He saw the bloodthirstiness in her eyes and sighed. He knew that before Elder Faust, she had never fed on any human. He didn't know whether the change in Valentina was for the better or for the worse.
However, to him, it seemed like she had this relentless bloodthirst inside her that she wanted to unleash on the ones who did her wrong.
'I guess I did really forget she was an ethereal beast as well.'
Damien turned to look at Mary Di and said in a derisive tone, "Hmm, I think you will be a good fodder for my disciple whom you tried to sell as an exotic 'item'."
He threw her towards Valentina and said, "Go ahead...use her to strengthen yourself."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Valentina's ruby red eyes flashed seeing her Big Brother offer her a juicy prey. In an instant, she pounced upon her and started sucking her blood and even her ethereal energy.
"NOOOO!!! STOPP...PLEASE!!!!" Mary Di cried in horror and pain.
But Damien simply stared at her callously. He simply felt no pity for those that put the ones he cared about in danger. They can go to hell for all he cares.
Meanwhile, the entire hall was blazing with jet black flames which seemed to show no signs of dying down. The air had turned hot and gloomy and even the corpses were burned to nothingness. In all, the whole hall seemed to be turned into a gloomy and horrid graveyard.
Rubbles and debris continued to fall down the ground as the whole place seemed to be crumbling down. Not even a bit of its grandeur from before was visible and only the stench of death filled the hall.
Within a few moments, Valentina got up having finished sucking the blood out of her prey and Mary Di's corpse looked like a dried bag of bones.
Seeing that she was now alone with Damien, she suddenly hugged Damien and sobbed, "Uwu...Big Brother...please don't go away like that again. I was so scared and these bad people—"
"Shh...it's fine. I won't disappear on you like that again and I would never let anyone even hurt a hair on your body. Those who try to...I will personally see to it that they pay for it dearly. Big Brother will protect you from now on and keep you close." Damien said in a reassuring tone as he hugged her.
Valentina's eyes brightened up hearing Damien's heartfelt promise. The bloodthirsty aura she had around Elder Faust and Mary Di disappeared and was replaced with a warm and intimate one as soon as she was in her Big Brother's embrace.
"I will also protect Big Brother…" Valentina said with a determined face. Damien softly chuckled seeing how she was trying to act strong.
He said, "Sure, we will protect each other and always be there for each other."
After a few moments of hugging her, he pulled Valentina out of his embrace and said as he looked into her eyes, "Now why don't we fully destroy this place before we get out of here? Do you want to watch how Big Brother is going to turn this bad place upside down?"
A murderous glint flashed through her eyes as she nodded.
