In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

He was about to open his mouth and curse, but the sharp edge of the cane was stuffed directly into his mouth.

"I understand that in angry situations, people tend to use vulgar language to vent their feelings... I understand that."

Maria spoke softly, looking down at the man with an elegant demeanor, without a trace of smile in her cold gray eyes.

"I don't know what happened between you... but in my memory, since you were given the name of warrior, your mission was to draw your sword against the braver, shed blood against the evil enemy, and use your body as a shield to protect those you are supposed to protect."

"But now I only see a pathetic coward who bullied girls, attacked his own people, and didn't even have a few scars on his body..."

Maria said this while looking at the other Sarkaz soldiers present with a scrutinizing gaze.

She had no intention of joking or accusing... In fact, Maria didn't appear here to scold these people for being pathetic with a bunch of high-sounding words and tell them to get out.

Without hesitation, Maria exerted force with her arm and instantly swung the sharp blade out from the side of the man's mouth!

The sharp stick directly cut half of the man's face, causing him to scream.

The soldiers around wanted to help, but Maria simply pierced the man's calf with her crutch and pinned him to the ground!

The brutal action is fluid and pleasing to the eye.

"Pathetic thing..."

Maria looked down at everyone present as if she were looking at something harmful.

Her voice was so calm and her movements were so efficient... without the slightest pause or hesitation.

The murderous aura made everyone realize that this woman was different...

She is not some vicious villain with vicious words, she is a real and pure killer.

Her contempt for life seemed to be something engraved in her muscles, and every move she made revealed the purest brutality.

A feeling of suffocation gradually spread around.

"..."

After looking around again and seeing that everyone had calmed down, Maria silently drew out her blade.

"Pfft-"

She watched the man who stood up in a panic and ran towards his companions. She had no intention of continuing to attack. She just turned her head and looked at the man who was surrounded by people, silently extending her hand...

"……Thanks."

The man lowered his head, his eyes becoming extremely lonely.

He took a deep breath, stood in front of Maria, slowly bent over to her, and covered his chest.

"Thank you, ma'am... You helped us in this critical moment. We will never forget your important help..."

As the man spoke, a large group of people around him bowed to Maria to express their gratitude.

They also knew that if Maria had not taken action just now, the outcome for them would have been very bad.

Although the situation hasn't changed much now, at least they don't have to continue being forced to disband in humiliation...

After a simple thank you, the man arranged for Maria and Warfarin to stay in the tent they had set up first as a reward, while he himself ran to the side with a few confidants to discuss what to do next.

Maria just glanced at it for a few seconds and then looked away.

"Aren't you going to take care of it?"

Inside the tent, Huafalin, who had benefited from Maria's light, was rather curious.

Maria's brave move just now was indeed very cool...but it would have been better if she hadn't thrown away her own blood bottle.

She didn't care much about the blood in the blood bottle. After all, it could be found if one looked for it, but the key point was that clean and sealable containers were rare.

She herself didn't have much...

"Tube?"

"This matter will not be let go like this."

Huafalin shook her head and warned Maria in the tone of someone who had experienced it.

"Those soldiers here are clearly not part of the royal court's regular army. They're probably drawn from some mercenary group... They don't understand responsibility, they only care about themselves... They say they'll escort people to a designated location, but they don't care about anything else."

"You scared them this time, but it won't be long before they come back again... You can scare a few, but you definitely can't beat dozens of them!"

"...Why can't you beat him?" Maria looked at the confident Huafalin and spoke calmly.

But such words amused Huafalin instead.

"Hahaha? Why can't I beat him? Because I can't beat him, that's why I can't beat him~"

But she only teased for a while and then stopped.

Obviously, she took Maria's words as a joke and didn't take them to heart at all.

"But thanks to you, I finally don't have to sleep in the wild today."

"You should go to bed early too. You can leave early tomorrow morning..."

"That group of people are probably mentally prepared... You can't really escort them all the way by yourself. The journey to our scheduled destination is almost a week away. If they want to reach their destination, they must travel with the group. You've given them a little bit of respect today. At least they weren't forced to disband."

"For them, this is a good result."

After saying that, Huafalin didn't give Maria a chance to ask questions, and turned around and started snoring.

She wasn't pretending, she was just too tired.

After all, she had been protecting the clan alone for a long time. She had to run out from time to time to find herbs for the patients, and when necessary, she had to fight with the coalition forces... The most important thing was that such actions did not receive much good response.

She knew it had something to do with her own style of action and the fact that she had no explanation, but she was too lazy to waste time explaining too much.

Maria looked at Huafalin who was sleeping soundly here, frowned, and sat there thinking.

After spending a whole day today, Maria roughly realized that the group of people she met were the Sarkaz who were being hunted. As for the people who were hunting them... Maria knew too little about this world, and it was not clear to what force they belonged.

But Maria was not sure when exactly this happened.

Because according to the books she had read, ever since the disappearance of the demon king named Quillon, the Sarkaz had been in exile amidst wars, with a history spanning six thousand years. Maria only occasionally saw in fragments of some books that they had once called themselves Tikaz.

During such a long period of time, they encountered a lot of turmoil, so much so that Maria could not tell what era it was based on the location and situation.

But that doesn’t matter anymore.

The reason why Maria chose to continue traveling was to find some information about the giant beast like the sky...it doesn't matter what era it is.

What's important is that she needs to find someone who can help her in this era.

Maria could still feel something unusual in the sky... but obviously, the other party had not discovered her yet.

The benefit of maintaining her human form also emerged at this time. As long as she didn't use her abilities, it would be difficult for the higher-ups to even discover that there was a bomb hidden here that was enough to threaten them...

As long as she doesn't use her abilities...

While thinking, Maria suddenly noticed a faint sobbing sound in her ears.

Although this place was filled with cases of decay and sobbing, but... this time the sobbing was a little different.

It's close...and the sound is familiar...

Maria blinked and slowly stood up.

He glanced at the blood demon who was already sleeping soundly, shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked out of the tent.

It was already late at night.

The crowds around also gradually quieted down.

Those who had already set up their tents would hide in them to rest, and those who didn’t have tents would just gather together and sleep wrapped in their clothes.

There were only a few night watchmen in the distance, holding torches and patrolling vigilantly.

Maria followed the faint sound of crying and found her target.

It was the Odena she had met during the day.

At this time, the little girl was sobbing softly while enduring the pain to treat the scratches on her body.

Maria just stood behind her and watched quietly for a while.

After a moment, she seemed to soften her heart and slowly walked over.

"what……"

Maria did not deliberately hide herself, so the girl quickly noticed the figure here.

She quickly wiped her tears, stood up, and bowed to Maria politely.

"Are you still awake?"

"Ah."

Maria sat quietly beside the girl, looking at her silently.

The girl, who had already witnessed Maria's power, did not dare to be negligent. She stood there hesitantly, looking at the woman.

"Are you...hungry? I still have some..."

"I don't need food, girl."

Maria didn't want to put pressure on the girl.

She just reached out her hand and gently comforted the other person.

"I heard you crying..."

"...Yes, am I too noisy?"

"Not really, girl."

Maria shook her head, looked at the reserved and conflicted girl, and pulled her to sit next to her.

"Why are you crying?"

"..." The girl was silent for a while, but after a moment, she lowered her head and said, "I miss my parents."

"Are they dead?" Maria asked with great indifference.

The girl was stunned by Maria's words, and after a moment, her eyes were filled with tears.

Bow down.

"Yes."

"Killed by someone?"

"Yes."

"Do you want revenge?"

Maria's words were very direct.

She did not spend too much time comforting the other person with long and meaningless words... Maria herself knew that she had never been able to forgive, and the incident in Syracuse was the best proof.

So as for the girl's crying at this time, she actually has only one problem.

Do you want revenge?

The girl didn't have time to feel sad because of Maria's decisive words.

She stared blankly at the elegant woman beside her. For a moment, she couldn't imagine how she could say such bloody words with such an ascetic face.

But after hesitating for a moment, she nodded decisively.

"I want revenge!"

"but……"

The girl lowered her head again and said, "I don't know how to do it."

What can she do? What can she achieve?

Her parents died on the battlefield, and she didn't even know who killed them... She only knew that the other party was from the Allied Forces, and knew nothing else about them.

Where is the murderer? Is he still alive? Does he know that he has taken someone else's parents?

Problems piled up on her one after another, making her feel suffocated.

But at this moment, Maria took action.

She reached out and gently stroked the girl's back, easing her labored breathing.

There was no trace of disturbance in his calm eyes.
