"Damn it! She's toying with us!" Prince Lionell cursed out loud as he looked behind him.
Esmond had saved him from their burning camp and hurriedly used a flying treasure in order to escape.
However, no matter how fast the Flying Treasure was, the little girl with long blue hair was hot on their trail, with a devilish smile on her adorable face.
Their men had already been burned to cinders back in their camp, and no one was left alive.
However, Eiko made sure that their treasures and their prisoners were perfectly safe, after summoning Dreadnaught-Ranked Slime Monsters to protect them from harm.
"Are you sure that she's that Slime you killed long ago?" Prince Lionel asked. "Why is she still alive then?! Also, why can she transform into a Human form?!"
"Shut up!" Esmond shouted, making the Prince stop asking more questions.
Prince Lionell knew that his right-hand man was also shaken after seeing that the Baby Slime he had killed had come back to life, and was now after his own life!
It had been more than a year since then, and due to the resources that the King of the Ahina Kingdom had given him in secret, he had already stepped into the realm of an A-Ranker.
However, even with his newfound strength, his instinct was telling him that he wasn't a match against the little girl, who was looking at him as if she was already looking at a dead person.
He and Prince Lionell had suffered third degree burns, but due to the healing potions they used, they were able to endure the pain, at least for the time being.
An hour later, the prince was no longer able to hold back and voiced out his concern.
"How long should we run from this Monster?!" Prince Lionel almost shouted.
"Didn't I tell you to shut up?" Esmond growled. "I've already contacted your father, and the Saints of our Kingdom are on their way to meet us. Just stay put and stop annoying me!"
After hearing that Saints were already dispatched to help them, the Prince felt less anxious and even forgave Esmond for his rudeness.
Half an hour later, they sensed two powerful presence headed in their direction, making their hearts skip a beat.
'They're finally here!' Esmond thought as he saw two black specks over the horizon, that were flying towards them.
Prince Lionell breathed a sigh of relief in his heart before turning back to sneer at the little girl, who was still following behind them.
'Let's see if you can keep smiling later!' Prince Lionell sneered. 'I'll make sure to torture you until you wish you were dead!'
Eiko, who also sensed the appearance of two Saints, wasn't fazed.
In fact, the moment she realized that two powerful presences had appeared in front of her, the devilish smile on her face widened.
Esmond's flying artifact hovered beside the two Saints, who were looking at him and the Prince with disdain.
"Useless fools!" one of the Saint shouted. "Why are you always causing us trouble?"
"Sometimes I wish that Maximilian and Alexander really had killed the two of you," the other Saint commented. "That way, we would no longer have to clean up your messes for you!"
The reason why two Saints were dispatched instead of one was because the King of the Ashina Kingdom didn't want to take any chances.
He was worried that this was a ploy made by Alexander and Maximilian to finally settle the old score for his son's attempt to kidnap their daughter and granddaughter.
But, when the two Saints looked at the Little Girl in the distance, who was hovering in the air with her hands on her waist, both of them frowned.
"You called us because of her?" the Saint pointed at Eiko with a dumbfounded look on his face. "You can't even beat up a little girl?"
"Don't be fooled by her looks, Your Excellency," Esmond replied. "She's a Slime Monster and, judging from her strength, she's at least at the initial stages of the Empyrean Rank."
(A/N: Empyrean is the next stage after Dreadnaught. Calamity is the rank above Empyrean.)
The Saint scoffed before eyeing the Little Girl, who was looking back at them with a smile.
"A Slime Monster?" The Saint looked at Eiko from head to toe. "Even if Slime Monsters can transform into humans, their age reflects their appearance. Judging by her looks, she's still young, not even five years old. You're telling me that a Slime, who is less than five years old, is an Empyrean Ranked Monster?"
The other Saint, who was also observing Eiko, narrowed his eyes.
"She is indeed of the Empyrean Rank," the other Saint commented. "Goodness, this is the first time I'm seeing something like this."
"Is she perhaps a mutant?"
"The possibility is high. We should probably capture her, and do some experiments."
After confirming Eiko's rank, the two Saints no longer treated her as an ordinary Monster and prepared to strike.
However, before they could even attack her, a black coffin appeared above her head and opened its lid.
"Him and him." Eiko pointed at the two Saints. "Beat them up."
She then pointed her finger at Esmond and Prince Lionell.
"Him and him, capture!" Eiko ordered.
A moment later, the two Saints, who were about to attack Eiko felt three extremely powerful presences that came from the black coffin.
When their gazes landed on the three people that came out of the coffin, the two Saints almost pissed their pants.
There were only two beings in this world that could make them react this way.
The first one was Demigods.
The second one was Supremes!
Right now, there were not one, not two, but three Supremes looking at them with calm expressions on their faces.
They knew then and there that they were facing a Little Girl that they shouldn't offend no matter what.
"Y-Your Excellencies, there must be some kind of misunderstanding here!" one of the Saints shouted. "We are not affiliated with these two people. They are exiles from our Kingdom, and we have no obligations to help them!"
"That's right!" the other Saint backed his comrade. "We are simply here to ensure that they don't trespass on our borders since they were already exiled from the Ashina Kingdom!"
Eiko smiled sweetly after hearing the name of the Kingdom that she now planned to destroy.
"Ashina Kingdom?" Eiko looked at the Saint who had spoken the name of the Kingdom where Prince Lionell belonged. "Thank you."
The Saint thought that he was now spared from harm after Eiko thanked him. However, what she said next made his face turn pale from fright.
"Beat them up until half dead!" Eiko ordered. "Those two, capture!"
"""Yes, Your Highness!"""
The three Supremes immediately took action and captured the people that their Mistress wanted to capture.
Eiko then summoned the Golden Anchor and smashed it against Esmond's legs, breaking his bones.
She did the same to Prince Lionell's legs, making the lustful prince scream in horror and pain.
After crippling the two people she wanted to torture the most, Eiko grabbed their heads and slammed them into the ground.
As if finding it amusing, she repeatedly smashed Esmond's face on the ground, until it turned bloody.
She did the same thing to Prince Lionell, breaking all of his teeth in the process.
A moment later, she raised her foot with a sinister glint in her eyes.
"F*cker."
Without an ounce of hesitation, Eiko stomped down on the Prince's family jewels, making the latter utter a blood-curdling-scream that made Esmond, the Three Supremes, and the two Saints, shudder uncontrollably.
All of them were men, so seeing this scene had a great impact on them.
A patch of red emerged from the Prince's pants as his genitals were crushed by Eiko's foot.
She did the same to Esmond, making the High-Ranker regret the day that he had killed this devilish Monster, who had come to take revenge upon him.
Eiko tortured the two people until both of them begged for their lives.
Of course, she didn't kill them right away.
Instead, she summoned her Battleship, Poseidon, and tied them to the bow of the ship.
She then made the two Saints cough up the information about where the Ashina Kingdom was.
After knowing its location, she ordered Avery to set sail to the Ashina Kingdom.
A kingdom that would soon cease to exist.
