Dhampy and Luna were tired from killing after running through the forest. They killed their way into the Village only to receive orders to go back and kill some more humans. At the moment, Luna was pushing herself beyond the limits as she communicates with the rest of the daemons that went out to kill the enemies brazen enough to challenge their Priestess.

And with a simple quote from Lilith reaching everyone's ears, it was easy to see just how much fervor the daemons became. Their eyes turned red like the burning fire surrounding them.

Without caring for their safety, they were willing to kill the ones trying to harm the one who protected them. Their zeal had pierced the norm, and their devotion had been reinforced multiple times over.

With a broad sword or a thin rapier, they will slay. With a stick or a rock, they will kill.

Just like how Lilith held the skies on her shoulders when it came down upon their island, these daemons would stop at nothing to kill those who threaten their Priestess. It was now the time to show their zeal and devotion; the time to let her feel their dedication and passion was now, and as they went all rabid against the humans, the B and B+ rank Hunters began to feel suffocated.

At first, it was merely a smoke, but as the daemons found their strength and their fervor, their power increased; at that moment, it was created, a skill reflecting their unwaning cries to answer her call. The screams that let them execute her orders, a skill that turns their monolithic devotion to power — [Empress' Call]!

[Empress' Call [Special Accessible Skill]- has been activated: The daemons feel their body surging with power to answer the words of their Empress, their undying devotion brings them pleasure in fulfilling her desire. The effect [Intimidation] is in effect; those with weak will falter before the zeal of the Empress' Devoted daemon.]

A skill only activatable when everyone answers the call of the Empress when their will explodes to create a branching explosion of power stemming from the straightforward order of a leader.

The daemons heard Lilith's call, they responded with a roar, and they presented her the death of dozens.

"KILLLLL!" The daemons were slaying everything and everyone without fail! Some of them may fall, but none of them regret a heroic death if it was for their glory of their Priestess.

The instant such a sight entered the eyes of Human Hunters, they began to panic. Those eyes of raging beasts, the smile they show with every kill, even the most courageous of Hunters failed to face them head-on.

"Empress' Call? That's not a Skill I have, do I?"

[No, it is a Special Accessible Skill-something that everyone can activate in crucial events-sort of like Plot Armor. There's a lot of said skills. Some are Race exclusive while others can only be accessed by an Individual.]

"That is extremely vague."

[Just think of it as the [Spirit] that was added in your System used in evolving the daemons under you. You can't see it's there.]

"We need to talk about the vagueness of my Skills and Abilities. Oh yeah, while we're at it, I want you to request for a System Update so we can see these secret Skills."

[Let's talk about this matter later, and just so you know, an update will most likely be given if and only if we fulfill a mission. After all, a system update of the scale you ask will be tampering with the fundamentals of the Universe.]

"That's not any different in what I've been doing, isn't it?"

[Fair enough. I'll issue the request, but the Seraphs most like won't answer us for some time.]

"Understood... I'll take care of this matter first."

Lilith began to move quicker than before. Her paws barely touched the ground, and as screams echoed and thunder rumbled, Lilith found it weird that so many high-leveled humans were present in this place.

'A number of them are at the level of a B+ Hunter.' Lilith stopped as she stomped on one of the dead Hunters, ensuring that they were killed before turning to a loli and rummaging around their corpses, searching for an HNP.

The HNP disappeared as soon as she touched it, and the detailed information of that HNP flowed into Alpha. While Alpha processed the information she got, Lilith began taking the items of the dead hunters selling them to the System to get some SP.

Her SP at the moment had reached rock bottom and needs to be replenished.

'Sylva is still missing an eye.' She thought to herself.

[Lilith, I think your guys had been killing an awful lot of humans. The extermination rate of the Village is at B+.]

"Are you sure it's reliable?" Lilith didn't want to believe her.

[This HNP belongs to someone known as Baek, from what I can gather, he keeps information neatly, and the Scorching Forest Village, that's most likely us, has been categorized as a priority to kill. Oh, look here, they have been killing many Hunters lately though none had confirmed what kind of daemon there was in said Village.]

Lilith repeatedly blinked as she laughed wildly, "Haha, that's quite good. I was only an A+ when I was human. Oh man, that was the time; I'm slowly growing…I'm so proud."

[This is no laughing matter, you idiot. The humans have marked us; what do you think will happen once we slaughter everyone here? No one is stronger than Chief, but once our extermination rank passes B+, we're all screwed.]

Alpha made sense. The situation may seem favorable, but that's only if they could survive the consequences of what may happen. Lilith looked around the burning forest and stated, "In every mission, there is someone known as the Captain who accepted the mission. Everyone should have contact with the Captain. Do you think you can trace her location?"

[Actually, this person seems to have been the one to have accepted the missions... but he's not the leader. From his messages, someone else is the acting Leader. I'll try and find that person, but if I do that, then that very same user will know what I'm doing.]

"Don't worry, just focus on tracking her down. I'll deal with the complicated stuff."

Alpha agreed, and Lilith then began allocating the free points she has in the Tribulation Leopard form. Right now, putting 185 points on AGT, 50 on STR, and 50 on PER, Lilith flew off trying to kill as many humans as she could.

By the time she managed to kill two humans by sneaking up on them and severing an artery on their neck, then looting them, Alpha finally managed to get the direction she needed.

[East, she's at East...oh shit, she destroyed her HNP. I can track her no more.]

"Mark the minimap, I'm going to go there. Don't say otherwise."

[Okay.]

The minimap was marked, and without a hint of hesitation, Lilith became a beam of azure light that pierced the bright light of the surrounding. And as she thought of something, her form changed into a mini dragon that had yet to use MP; she connected to Sylva through Mental Link.

~What is it, Luna? I'm…~

~ Sylva, where are you? What are you doing, rather?~

~Boss head! Ah, how have you been? Are you okay, AH! Wait, more on that later, I am currently heading to the Village, I am down south with brother Killa!~

~Oh yeah? That's perfect then; you and Killa go kill the humans coming your way. The last time I check, Killa's level should already be at the hundredths; humans are escaping, make sure to kill them without fail. Don't let anyone escape.~

~Understood, boss head.~ Sylva did not question Lilith/

As Lilith finished the conversation, she changed back to being a Tribulation Leopard, and with her lightning-coated paws, thunder once again echoed.

Lilith moved about with haste. And as she entered the Southern Area marked in the minimap, Lilith smiled, seeing a particular female human fighting with her daemons.

The Human Hunter controlled fire with her staff, and as Lilith kicked the ground and darted forward, her figure disappeared like a clap of thunder and reappeared adjacent to the human female.

Mirsha, who was too busy dealing with the Combat Pixies coming for her, became shortsighted, and the sight of the Tribulation Leopard caused her eyes to widen.

Panicked, she instinctively waved her right hand, holding the staff.

The flames danced, a curtain of fire appeared in front of her. Mirsha was separated from the Tribulation Leopard, but soon she felt her world overturned.

Lightning lacerated her clothes, and then before she could notice it, she found her back on the ground facing the round moon.

On top of her was a tiny leopard with its claws digging on her chest. It was painful, but the next moment, the Leopard spoke, "Are you left or right-handed? No answer? I'll take a left then."

Lilith bit Mirsha's left arm and then ripped it apart.

"AAAAAAHHHH! MY ARM!" She screamed as Lilith smirked with an arm in her mouth.

"Tasty."
