109 No Regrets (1/2)

Higher senses and agility than your enemies were devastating advantages in single combat and small group combat.

Even against two people, Cassidy still has almost infinite possibilities for movement to destroy Scarlett and Olivia. Of course, she wants to do it in a way that would humiliate them more.

Scarlett's horizontal attack was powerful and fast. It would be deadly to anyone in the S-rank or below, but it was too slow for the current Cassidy.

She stepped forward and grabbed Scarlett's wrist, then pointed her saber to Olivia, who fell towards her after her jump attack.

”HOW?!” Scarlett was shocked, not only by the speed of Cassidy's reaction but also by the tyrannical strength, which stopped her powerful attack as if it were nothing.

”?!?!?!” Olivia was sure Cassidy was going to dodge, so she started such a risky attack. Now she couldn't change the direction of her fall so easily.

She tried to rotate her body so as not to be impaled by the saber. Of course, Cassidy was the only person in control of the situation, and since she didn't want to kill them yet, she allowed Olivia to avoid a fatal injury by dodging the saber tip.

Still, the saber has a broad blade, which made a long cut on Olivia's belly. As she fell to the ground, Cassidy kicked Scarlett on the stomach.

*Thud*

*Purrh*

While Olivia fell to the floor, making a thud, Scarlett threw up what was left of the food she had eaten a few hours ago with blood and was sent flying until hitting the wall, making another thud.

Olivia stood up with a quick leap to try stabbing Cassidy with her sharp daggers. But before she could understand what happened, the wooden staff had already hit her on the face.

”AHH!!!” Olivia was thrown back a few feet while she felt a terrible pain on her face.

Not only was the pain on her face excruciating because of her old scars, but it also reminded her of her trauma, opening wounds in her heart.

Cassidy threw the saber towards Scarlett. When she saw her saber spinning in the air, she thought it was her end... Killed by an enemy that she supposedly defeated easily...

Scarlett closed her eyes then heard the noise of the saber hitting the wall. She understood that she had another chance and didn't think twice before getting up, picking up the saber, and running towards Cassidy.

She couldn't give up. Even though the fight seemed impossible to win, she had to keep fighting. Not only for her but also for those who needed her help.

Cassidy smiled at Scarlett's futile effort. She also noticed Olivia getting up and starting another attack towards her.

*Woosh*

*Pah* *Pah*

Cassidy easily dodged Scarlett's attack and hit her on the back with the wooden staff. Then she attacked Olivia's face again, sending them both to the floor.

Scarlett dropped her saber during the fall while Olivia also dropped her daggers. They both tried to get up as soon as they hit the floor, but Cassidy's heavy attacks were starting to make their bodies feel numb.

”Oh? Are these the powerful leaders who overthrew the useless queen?” Cassidy walked over to Scarlett, who was nearest and kicked her in the stomach, throwing her to the wall again while she vomits more blood.

While Cassidy attacked Scarlett, Olivia got up quickly, picked up a dagger, and jumped on Cassidy's back, attempting a desperate attack.

Cassidy didn't even turn around and just reached behind her, grabbing Olivia by the neck. ”I remember how you spread rumors that I would never be strong like my father and that Portgreen did not need a weak queen.”

”You-” Scarlett tried to get up, but Cassidy hit her face with the staff, preventing her from reacting.

”Dammit! You talked so much about me being weak and unworthy of the crown, but you didn't even face me in combat...” Cassidy threw Olivia alongside Scarlett on the floor and also hit her face with the staff over and over.

Olivia was in pain all over her body, but she could no longer take the merciless blows on her face. She raised her hand to block it, causing the sturdy staff to break her hand.

Cassidy then kicked her in the stomach, throwing her in the center of the room. ”Don't die yet. You caused me too much suffering to end like this.”

”My beloved daughter had to work as a mercenary... Living a year hiding like a bandit while watching her mother between life and death...”

Scarlett tried to get up again, but her body was severely hurt. She stood on all fours while resting both hands on the floor.

*Pah*

*Crack*

”AAAAAHHH!!!” Cassidy hit Scarlett's back with enough force to break some of her bones, and also break the wooden staff in half.

Scarlett tried to get up again, but her legs wouldn't move. It didn't take a genius to know that Cassidy's attack had damaged her spin.

Despite all the pain, she didn't regret anything because everything she did was for a reason. Even at the end, she still tried to reach her hand towards her, saber a few feet from her.

Cassidy would never forgive Scarlett for everything she did. Not only her, but everyone who participated in the treacherous attack on her and her family in the past would get what they deserved.

Still, she didn't like torture, and as Scarlett looked almost dead, Cassidy did one last hit. She spiked half of the wooden staff in her shoulder, making Scarlett screams in pain once again.

Blood dripped from Scarlett's mouth and from her shoulder wound while she could only moan in pain, motionless on the floor. It seemed like a deplorable end... But maybe she deserved it after all she did.

Perhaps due to blood loss or internal injuries, Scarlett's vision started to fail. Soon her tired eyes begun to close, and the last vision she had before passing out was the serious expression on Lucien's face.

Cassidy then looked at Olivia in the center of the room. The former proud leader of the Guild was now crawling like a wounded dog from side to side.

Unlike Scarlett, Olivia could still get up, but after continually receiving might blows on her face, her mind becomes confused. Probably her brain was affected, preventing her from properly reason.

Cassidy picked up the other half of the staff from the floor and walked over to Olivia. ”Soon I'm going to cripple your partner Ivan, the same way I crippled you and Scarlett.”

Although Olivia was confused, she could still understand that Cassidy was hostile and tried to crawl away from her.

She went towards Lucien and the others, but no one would help her. Cassidy quickly approached Olivia and stabbed that half of the staff into her back.

”AAAAAAAA!!!!” Olivia could only scream in pain.
