Blood, slaughter, wails, death....

Nina stared blankly at everything around her like a puppet, watching those once-familiar faces fall to the ground, their bodies torn into pieces, internal organs and blood flowing from their wounds. Each breath was filled with a nauseating stench of blood.

"Why... why...? What did we do wrong...?"

It wasn't until she arrived in front of a slightly dilapidated house that Nina completely broke down. She shook off Keith's hand and staggered forward, kneeling in the pool of blood. Nina gently cradled the head in front of her. The innocent face still wore an angelic smile, but now that smile was forever frozen in the moment of death, and the once-radiant skin had turned pale.

"Nina...."

Keith watched Nina, who was on the verge of collapse, and subconsciously crouched down beside her, wanting to comfort her, but he couldn't say anything, because the head Nina was holding in her arms was Nina's only relative, her six-year-old sister.

She was a child who was always full of smiles. Even though she had lost her parents at a young age and only had her older sister, she would say every day that she was very happy. Keith would give her a big hug every time he saw her, and sometimes he would secretly take her to the street to buy himself candy.

As a reward, the little one said she would help Keith pursue her sister, but the shy Keith had always denied it with a blush, but his body was very honest, and he would bring her favorite candy every time he came.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! What the hell happened? Why did so many monsters suddenly appear!?"

In the next second, Keith raised his fist and slammed it into the ground again and again in anger. Even though the flesh on the back of his hand had become blurred, Keith didn't seem to feel it at all. As long as he saw Nina crying beside him and the small body lying in a pool of blood in front of him, Keith felt a burst of pain and regret in his heart.

He hated his weakness so much. If... if... if he were stronger, maybe he could have saved Nina's sister before she was killed... maybe he could have prevented this tragedy... instead of being like this now, only able to vent helplessly.

"Keith, stop it... Nini definitely wouldn't want you to do this."

At this moment, a pair of slender arms tightly hugged Keith. Nina raised her head and looked at Keith with a smile on her face, but Nina's smile looked so sad at this time. Even though she was smiling, tears dripped down her cheeks onto Keith's shoulder.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Nina. If I were stronger..."

"No, Keith, the one who should be saying sorry is me. I'm the older sister, but I didn't protect my younger sister."

After saying that, Nina released her arms that were hugging Keith, staggered to her feet, walked to her sister's body, reached out and helped her corpse up, and then put the fallen head back on.

"Nini, I'm leaving, but don't worry, I'll take you with me this time, and I'll never leave you alone at home again."

Nina looked at her sister in front of her, raised her hand and gently stroked her pale skin, as if she saw her sister, who was lying at the door when she left in the morning, waving goodbye to her with a cute smile on her face. This time, she would never be separated from her sister again.

In the next second, Nina took out a bottle of incendiary from her backpack, opened the stopper, and poured it all over Nini's body. In the scarlet flames, Nini's body gradually turned to ashes, and Nina, who witnessed everything, still had a smile on her face, her pupils reflected the raging fire.

A few seconds later, the flames dissipated, leaving only a pile of ashes. Nina gently collected her sister's ashes and then took out a small cloth bag, put her sister's ashes in it, and hung it around her neck.

"Let's go, Keith, we should go find the captain!"

Nina turned around, took out her bow and arrow, said something to Keith, and then walked towards the place where she and the captain had agreed to meet. During the escape before, Gordon and Tuka went to the other side to pick up Tuka's wife and son. As for Keith, he and Nina came to pick up Nini, and they agreed on a meeting place.

After they picked up their respective families, they would escape the city through a passage in the sewer that only their team knew about. As for Gordon and Keith, one was a loner with no family, and the other's family was in a village far away from the city.

.......

Half an hour later, Nina, carrying Keith, who was covered in blood and had half of his arm broken, walked into a house. On the way, they were suddenly attacked by shadow guards hiding in the shadows. Facing the sudden attack, Keith desperately blocked the shadow guards, completely disregarding his own safety in order to save Nina.

It was also with this desperate effort that Keith directly hugged the shadow guard's body when the shadow guard bit his arm, and stabbed the long sword in his right hand into the shadow guard's head. Nina, who was beside him, also took the opportunity to shoot an arrow with an incendiary attached into the shadow guard's body.

At that time, relying on a fierce force, Keith directly forcibly tore off his arm that was bitten by the shadow guard. In the last second before the incendiary took effect, Keith was successfully pulled away by Nina, and then Nina carried Keith, who had passed out from blood loss, to the meeting point.

"Captain!"

As soon as Nina walked into the house, she saw Tuka with a worried face and his family in the room. As for Gordon, he had already taken Keith from Nina's back the moment Nina came in and started bandaging and treating him.

"Nina, you're finally back. What's wrong with that kid Keith, and where's Nini?"

Tuka ran to Nina's side. In fact, he had just arrived here with his family and Gordon. After arriving, he found that Nina and Keith were not there. Tuka knew that something must have happened to them, because the meeting point was not too far from Nina's place.

For this reason, Tuka planned to let Gordon protect his family, while he immediately went out to save Keith and Nina, when Nina came back carrying the unconscious Keith.

"We encountered monsters when we came. Keith forcibly stopped them to protect me... As for Nini, she's here."

As she said that, Nina raised her hand and patted her chest, and seeing this, Tuka couldn't help but show a trace of heartache and sadness on his face, because he knew that the little one named Nini, who called himself Uncle Big Beard every time they met, had died.

Tuka didn't know how to comfort Nina, who had lost her only relative, for a while.

"Captain, don't worry, I'm fine...."

Nina looked at the hesitant captain in front of her and gently patted him on the shoulder to show that she was fine... After all, she had not yet avenged her sister, and had not killed all the damn monsters... How could she have time to be sad... The flames of revenge were burning her soul all the time.

When she personally cremated her sister's body and watched her body turn to ashes, the former Nina had already died. The one who was alive was just a witch who was avenging her sister.
