"Cough, cough, cough..."
After a bout of violent dry coughing, Lady raised her head from the ground. She looked pitiful and delicate, but when she had ravaged this city, she had hardly seemed so deserving of sympathy.
Su Xiao came before Lady and shattered her avatar with a single slash. With Dragon Slayer Flash's Legendary quality, +13 enhancement, and maxed Edge Value, he could do whatever he wanted— and this was before Blade Awakening.
Crouching before Lady, he drove his long blade through her lower abdomen. This was just insurance.
"I ask, you answer."
"Y-yes."
Lady was clever. She knew Su Xiao was not some righteous man driven by justice. If he had been, the worst she could expect was death, and she was not particularly afraid of dying.
"Are there any other witches in the city?"
"N-no."
Lady began to go into shock as she spoke. Su Xiao took out an analgesic and injected it directly into her vein.
"Only the three of you?"
"Yes."
Hearing Lady's answer, Su Xiao frowned. Even if all three Elemental witches were at the Third Stage, they would not have had the nerve to ravage an entire city.
"Who ordered you?"
"It was... Lady Mira."
"Mira?"
Su Xiao took out the wanted posters he carried with him. Before long, he found one with a bounty of 580 gold coins.
Mira, a Fourth-Stage Elemental witch, the Blood Witch. Bounty: 580 gold coins. Had destroyed four human cities.
A Fourth-Stage Elemental witch was capable of destroying cities. As for Fifth-Stage Elemental witches, they were natural disasters.
"Where is she?"
"Outside the city... at a farm. Let me... be free."
The analgesic wore off quickly. The drug's effect on witches was surprisingly weak.
The long blade swept through her, and Lady was freed from her suffering.
