Dorothy began to talk about the power of the True Darkness that Separates and talked about the ages long forgotten in order to explain the power of darkness that engulfed his heart.

"And so I had no choice but to fight and devour that son of Kyriachos. He was a Saint-level warrior just like me. With my ability in Dark Consumer, I risked it all and ate his darkness. That power was the purest darkness that even I could not contain, and my soul was sent into the lost realm called the Separated Realm. And because me soul was sent, my body acted on instincts and continued to struggle to survive. But there, I managed to harness it!" Dorothy's voice turned to that of great pride.

"Behold the darkness that I wield! This was the power that Martha showed where she survived your attacks!"

It was then that powerful darkness appeared and covered Martha.

The potent energy of Dorothy was lost in the cold darkness that covered her.

Martha looked at the reactions of the Thanes and saw the slight frowns and pained reactions they had.

This was the moment Martha was waiting for. The moment the Thanes would react to the words of Dorothy, which would cause them an influx of memories.

"Now." Martha sent the command.

And Hunter followed.

He ran and shook the box full of the fire-ore vials and hurled it down.

When Hunter decided to keep the slaves nearby and forced Martha to follow, the most crucial part was to give Martha the blood of the slaves to refuel her magic points. And to do that, the easiest way was to send a Blood Blade up, which could quickly gather three people's worth of blood.

In order to send the Blood Blade to Hunter, Martha decided that shooting the sword like an arrow was the easiest way. Martha had the strength and control to do that.

But the problem was that launching it would be a declaration of war. 

And so, the first issue was to create the opening. Martha knew that rushing in blindly towards them would only lead to their defeat. The dexterity of the Thanes far surpassed what the Coven had, when they were Lesser Dragons, the strength of each creature roughly equated to a mid-level 30 cultivator. 

On Martha's previous activation of Haste, she timed it when the then Lesser Dragon made a lunging attack that allowed them to dash faster and caused them to miss quickly. But even then, the power of Haste, which increases the recipient's speed by fifty percent, could not make them faster than the Lesser Dragons.

Only Martha could match the Lesser Dragons dexterity as her 143 dexterity stat point would exceed the 200 stat points of the Lesser Dragons because of Haste. But now, the Thanes had over 300 stat points worth of dexterity.

The Thanes also had previously revealed their speed when they flew down and landed almost instantly from the top of the cave. This show of power was meant to drive Martha and her companions to great fear. However, when Hunter saw it, he was convinced that there would be no way for them to escape even if Martha tried to buy some time and went along with his plan.

And so, Martha created a plan to make an opening for their many attacks through two things.

The first was the natural result of Dorothy's talks. Martha allowed Dorothy to talk of something that would definitely trigger the memory of these dragons. The surge of memories would decrease their focus by several levels due to the immense distraction.

But even with this lack of concentration, there was the Path of Combat of these dragons. Even with the focus off, the Thanes may still react instinctively to block the sword that Martha would shoot up or would be able to escape the vials of fire ore.

And so, to stop this from happening, Martha ordered Hems and Hemsey to immediately activated Death Ripple with her.

The magic of Death Ripple appeared. The three attacks stacked on each other and made the Thanes suffer as a head-splitting pain attacked them.

Martha immediately jumped forward towards the Thane as she used her bow to shoot her Blood Blade upwards.

The Blood Blade stabbed and penetrated through the falling box full of fire-ore vials, and some of the vials were sliced opened and caused the gas to spill on the ground.

The sword carried on further, and Hunter reached out for it to catch it.

The Thanes knew something was off and roared, and a powerful tail swiped at Martha.

SMASH!

But as the tail attacked, it passed through Martha's body!

Martha's real body was seen at the very back with her dagger stabbed on another dracanae ghoul.

The two which she had been siphoning were standing up as they became her dracanae ghouls.

And at that moment, the two halves of the boxes were just above the Thanes.

BOOM!

A strong explosion occurred and created a thick layer of fire. But the strong blast didn't even cause the Thanes to be thrown back. They kept standing there amidst the flame as the effects of Death Ripple lost its effect.

"Insolent!" One of the Thanes remarked as he stepped forward. But it then, the five saw, the familiar green golem standing in the midst of them.

"I hope that Kyros will appreciate this!" Mardock remarked as he channeled all the remaining energy that the True Entropy Core could provide him with.

BOOM!

Mardock exploded. His entire body didn't even break into pieces but simply vanished as if it melted. A green light shot back to the True Entropy Core that Martha was carrying.

Mardock directed the explosion of his suicide attack towards the Thane Dragons.

This was Martha's strongest attack on her arsenal.

An Entropy explosion occurred and created thick smoke, and even the figures of the dragons were knocked back from the attack. The former attack didn't even make them stumble back, but this one apparently sent them flying back.

The roars of the Thane Dragons echoed out.

"That attack was far stronger than I thought! Would that have harmed the Thane dragons?" Martha asked Dorothy.

"That attack was indeed strong. But one thing you must know, Master. When talking about the toughness of dragons, you should always overestimate! Otherwise, your dead."

"Then let's hope the next attacks will get them." Martha looked up.

The four dracanae ghouls with Hunter had already picked up several large rocks as part of their preparation and dropped the large rocks down right after the vials exploded. Martha began to shoot it with arrows, and as the arrow struck, the magic of [Heavy Weight] affected the rocks and increased the weight of the stones.

The stones fell faster.

But in the midst of the green mist and the decay, several whipping sounds were heard and began to smash the rocks that fell.

The tails of the Thanes whipped out to destroy the rocks.

SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!

The rocks burst apart, and even the green mist was blown away because of the attack.

The figures of the dragons could be seen. Small wounds that were quickly closing up could be seen.

Martha cursed at the sight of these dragons. They weren't even damaged to the point that the rocks would fall on them.

"Attack!" Martha ordered.

Ten dracanae ghouls, eight from Hems and Hemsey, and the two that Martha stabbed her sword in charged forward to attack the Thanes.

"Insolent! I'll kill that wench!" One of the Thanes roared and charged.
