The car ignited as they began their way home.
Meanwhile, deep in the frontline, explosions could be heard everywhere, followed by sparks of flame and other elements.
BOOM! BANG! BOOM!
Luca's body was covered in dirt and dried blood, but none of it was hers. Her eyes focused on many silhouettes and blurs appearing.
Clang!
A sword was deflected, Luca spun her body, and in the next moment, a head flew into the air.
Crimson liquid started falling from the sky, painting her face red. But Luca didn't flinch.
Her eyes were filled with anger as she looked at the situation. "You traitor of humanity!"
She expected to fight hordes of monsters or maybe some criminals. But as she went deeper, things were far different than she expected.
The monsters became more organized, with some people filling their ranks.
Now, she was ambushed by a group of dark hunters. Each of them had a monster under their control.
Luca disliked dark hunters, but she only thought they were pursuing their own greed, not going as far as becoming invaders of their own race.
It turned out her expectation was false.
These people had fallen so far that they would help invaders enslave their own species.
Scum, bastard, traitors of humanity.
People Luca hated these people the most. She would show no mercy to them. Her vision was filled with silhouettes while her brain planned her next move.
Moving like a fish in water, Luca swung her sword with proficiency. This was the reason she was called the war Valkyrie. The moment she decided on no mercy, none would be spared.
The battlefield was littered with countless limbs. No abilities could hit her. She was the symbol of despair for her enemy.
A side of Luca that neither her son nor daughter had ever seen.
Slash! Slash!
A torso was cut clean through the heart, followed by another vertical slash.
Her sword was also very sharp. It was custom-made but didn't have any special abilities other than its sharpness.
Luca had never met anything it could not cut. The sword kept dancing, cutting through flesh, carving through bone.
Once she finished, the battlefield turned silent. Half of the enemy was completely massacred by her alone.
"It seems being a mother doesn't make you rusty at all; you have even become stronger now."
"Shut up, baldy. Why has no one ever told me about this?" Luca asked as she pointed toward the limbs of the dark hunter.
A thought surfaced in her mind, making her eyes narrow, filled with killing intent.
Despite his muscular body, the bald man took a step back.
"Look, don't blame us. You said you didn't want to be disturbed when you decided to retire."
"Answer me this honestly: that dungeon, is any human involved? I have heard this rumor a few times.
I know some of the dark hunters were contacting other species. I thought they were just exchanging technology or exotic materials. To think they even sell our own species.
I always found it weird. My husband is not a neglectful person. He always had many contingencies in place.
At that incident, I could tell with one look someone sabotaged all his preparations."
"I... I have heard some rumors, but I really don't know the details. You should ask Solomon."
A chuckle then came out from another member of their party. She had a similar figure to Luca but held no weapon.
"Cut baldy some slack, Luca. You know how he is. His brain will lag behind on things. He just likes to fight without any care."
"What do you mean my brain is lacking? Are you calling me dumb?"
"Yeah, you are a dumbo, a big baldy dumb that only knows how to fight. So shut up and let the adults talk."
Baldy gnashed his teeth but didn't reply. He knew he couldn't attack her because he would just end up miserable.
The one in front of her was a famous four-star hunter with the title Elementalist.
As the title suggests, she could use almost all elements, with the exception of light and darkness. Not only could she use each of them, but she could also mix them.
Some people called her a human nuke. If she really wanted, destroying a whole city was not out of the question.
Unfortunately, her ability was limited. In one day, she could only do such a level of attack once.
"Isolde, tell me what you know?"
"I could tell you, but you need to promise me to stay calm. Remember, I have no reason to lie."
Luca frowned, many possibilities passing through her mind. "You mean my guild has a traitor?"
"You know your husband the best, Luca. If all his contingencies failed, do you think it's possible for just anyone to be the traitor?"
Emotion started bubbling up in Luca's heart. "I treated each of them as my own family. Just who would dare."
"For now, let's move first and find a place to rest. Then, we could continue on our journey. But we need to be more careful."
Luca didn't move, her eyes darting around all the members. There were six of them, each person someone she had known for a long time.
In the past, she wouldn't doubt any of them, but hearing the news from Isolde changed her mind.
"We were ambushed here. Do you think we also have a traitor?"
"Are you kidding me? Luca, no matter what, I will never betray you." Baldy said with conviction.
"She doesn't mean you, baldy. We all know you don't even have the brain for that."
"You say that like you are clean, Isolde. We all know how crazy you are with new knowledge."
"Shut your mouth, Felix. I may be a fanatic for new knowledge, but the reason for that is to make us stronger against the invaders.
To become a traitor of humanity, I will never do that."
