The battle ended even more straightforwardly than expected.
Violet had considered the possibility of the opponent becoming berserk or undergoing a second mutation, but none of that happened.
After Leila struck the man’s leg, causing him to collapse, and conjured several illusionary spears to firmly immobilize him, all three battlefields were settled.
“Legendary?! How could there suddenly be so many...”
Edwin, who vaguely realized the strength of the three girls from their performances, wore an incredulous expression.
If it was just Violet being a legend, he could barely maintain composure. However, having four individuals of legend or higher strength traveling together would undoubtedly cause a sensation in any country. And considering Criv Kingdom, a small nation without even one legendary individual, this was particularly astonishing.
Who exactly were they?
Violet cast a faint glance at Edwin not far away but chose not to engage with him.
These people were not up to any good.
From various behaviors, it could be inferred that they must have known what changes would occur to their three companions later, yet they still rushed them back to the adventurer’s guild as quickly as possible. In the end, it was nothing more than not having the confidence to save their companions on their own and wanting to leverage the strength of the guild’s experts. Or perhaps, forcibly tying them all onto the same ship.

Call it selfish or shrewd, but the result was triggering such a serious calamity outside. Even though they had issued an early warning and stood at the forefront of resistance, it couldn’t change the fact that they were responsible for this incident.
It was precisely because Violet had noticed this from the beginning that she had been giving Edwin a cold shoulder.
Carrying the only remaining catgirl, Mira, Violet walked forward. She arrived at the side of the female adventurer, around twenty years old, whom Xiao Guang had knocked unconscious with a snap of her fingers. Priestess, squatting down, placed her fingers on a “thorn” protruding from a wound.
Crash!
Although the body itself was already unconscious, as soon as it touched Violet’s fingertip, the vine-like foreign object suddenly surged, actively thrusting toward the black-haired girl!
“Seeking death!”
A sharp white light flashed by. Even before everyone present could see what had happened, the vines attacking Violet had already been cut into smooth pieces, falling to the ground.
The dragon lady shook her fair hand, which had transformed into a dragon claw for an instant, displaying a disdainful expression.
“Master, this thing doesn’t know its place. Do you want me to take care of it?”
“...Not so fast.”
Outside, there was a noisy sound of footsteps, as it seemed many people were approaching this location. However, Violet didn’t pay attention to them.
When Xiao Guang mentioned “taking care of,” of course, it meant dealing with both the person and the vines together. Priestess would never allow her to do such a thing.
“Seal.”
Drawing a special symbol in the air with her finger, the golden light-formed patterns quickly descended and imprinted on the forehead of the female adventurer, creating a transparent barrier that enveloped her.
The restless vine-like thorns were immediately forcefully suppressed and couldn’t move.
This was a sealing barrier of the holy light system, only at the fifth level. However, in the current situation, it was more than enough to use. The effectiveness of skills wasn’t solely determined by their level.
Then, she cast two identical holy seals in succession, landing on the other two subdued infected individuals. The continuous spread of the 【Calamity】 was instantly halted.
“Miss Violet, what exactly are you...”
“Don’t make noise!”
Next to him, Edwin was about to say something, but Xiao Guang immediately glared at him fiercely.
The master and servant understood each other’s thoughts. Violet felt disgust towards this guy, and Xiao Guang could sense it too. Although the latter had not activated 【Pressure】, just the murderous intent in those golden vertical pupils was enough to make the man stiff, unable to move.
Violet did not focus on trivial matters. After confirming that the sealed thorns would not move again, she placed her hand back on them.
“【Information detection】”
The light gradually flowed over the once beautiful but now grotesque and terrifying body of the other person. Violet’s face also became somewhat excited.
Parasitic-type monster.
Inside the body of this female adventurer.
Those thorns, like vines, and even the material forming another pair of arms, were all parts extending to the outside world.
And the core of this parasitic monster was located...
Violet lifted her hand, aimed at a certain position slightly to the right of the center of the opponent’s chest, and moved downward.
Splat.
The slender and delicate fingers of the girl instantly pierced through the female adventurer’s chest, causing a large splash of blood, with half of her palm immersed in it.
“What are you doing!”
Edwin was greatly shocked. The reason he spared no effort to preserve the lives of these three companions was mainly because of the girl. She was his childhood sweetheart, his deeply affectionate girlfriend. How could he just stand there and watch her get killed by someone piercing through her heart!?
“I’ve said it, don’t disturb the master!”
However, before Edwin could do anything, a powerful and terrifying pressure had already swept over. Just the aura alone suppressed everyone present, causing them to collapse uncontrollably on the ground, unable to move.
“How is this possible...”
The man struggled to lift his head, looking up at the golden-haired girl exuding a horrifying oppressive aura. Finally, he realized something...
This woman was more than just a legendary-level!
Violet paid no attention to what was happening around her. Xiao Guang’s pressure naturally couldn’t affect her, nor could it affect Leila and Rene, who had already approached. Miss Mira, being very close, also escaped unscathed and was trembling inside her cloak.
After fiddling inside the body of the female adventurer for a while, the priestess suddenly grabbed something and pulled it out!
“Squeak!”
A round, ping pong ball-sized, eyeless and noseless creature with a mouth-like biting organ, surrounded by dozens of spiky, leg-like appendages, was held up into the air by the black-haired girl’s fingers.
Behind it, there were even dozens of extending vine-like lines of the same color, obviously evolved from those appendages, spreading throughout the body of the female adventurer.
Those thorns and bizarre arms should be the ends of these lines.
Others might not be clear, but Violet had already seen through 【Information Detection】 that this thing had been lurking on the girl’s heart before. It fixed itself with its leg spikes, absorbed nutrients from the blood, and transformed them into the spreading 【Calamity】.
The monster was extremely ferocious. Even when caught by Violet, it showed no fear. Perhaps it was because it was too far from its detached body, and the sealing effect was somewhat diminished. As soon as the creature gained freedom, it immediately opened its mouth full of serrated sharp teeth and bit directly towards the black-haired girl’s finger!
“Lady Violet, be careful!”
Leila and Rene, who were curiously watching from the side, exclaimed simultaneously. Although the former wanted to intervene, the creature was too small, held in the hands of the priestess, and her throwing spear was challenging to aim accurately and couldn’t catch up in time.
At a moment when assistance seemed too late, Xiao Guang was not in a hurry. She knew better than anyone about her master’s strength.
