Reese chuckled softly, "I choose neither, but I can give you a choice."

"Choose neither? Then I'll have to use force, Miss Reese." Pier didn't even listen to the second half of Reese's sentence, only thinking about capturing Reese as soon as possible.

Reese smiled, "Don't be so hasty. I'll give you two choices: either all of you commit suicide, or I kill all of you."

Upon these words, the scene fell silent, and then the adventurers burst into laughter.

Mainly because Reese's alluring, flushed face, along with her words, didn't feel threatening at all.

The adventurers just thought she was talking nonsense and didn't take Reese's words seriously.

"Miss Reese, I think you're out of your mind. Come with me."

Pier had completely lost his patience, giving a look towards his underling.

The underling beside him immediately swung a long blade, chopping towards David, intending to deal with David first.

Reese sighed, "Looks like you've made a choice."

She quickly muttered a few syllables, then with a wave of her hand, a mass of water appeared in the air, wrapping around the adventurer swinging the blade.

The adventurer's head was soon enveloped by the water mass, with a clanging sound, the long blade fell to the ground.

He desperately clawed at the water mass, trying to pull it off his head.

But it's water, how could it be pulled away.

The water mass on the adventurer's head bubbled, and before long, the adventurer fell powerlessly to the ground, suffocated to death.

This scene stunned the surrounding adventurers, rendering the scene silent.

"A... A caster!" Pier was shocked, involuntarily stepping back a few steps.

He never imagined that the fiery woman in front of him was actually a caster.

The number of casters was already rare, and Herag and the others never showed signs of being casters, so Pier wasn't thinking in that direction.

"Archers! Kill her!"

Pier reacted quickly, immediately having the archers around begin shooting.

At this time, he couldn't care less about being gentle; he only thought about survival.

Pier was a Great Knight and had a deep understanding of the power of casters.

He knew if Reese wasn't taken down, all his people might be doomed.

Soon several adventurers drew their bows and arrows, aiming at Reese.

"Water Shield."

With a wave of her hand, a water shield appeared around Reese's body.

Arrows hit the water shield and were immediately deflected, causing Reese no harm.

Reese was a wizard specialized in water element, adept at using various water magic.

Earlier, Herag also verified this in the carriage, confirming she was a water element specialized wizard.

"Water Arrow!"

Reese waved her hand again, conjuring several water arrows.

The water arrows sped out, piercing the throats of the archers.

Immediately after, Reese conjured countless water masses, dropping them on the adventurers' heads.

In just an instant, except for Pier, everyone in the Wind Sword Adventurer Group was dead.

Looking at the surrounding corpses, Pier felt a chill in his heart, realizing he was alone now.

Reese walked over with a smile that was seductive but appeared demonic in Pier's eyes.

Pier didn't think of escaping because he knew the methods of a caster; running away was not an option.

In this line of work, pride doesn't matter; survival does.

On the spot, Pier knelt down, begging, "Mad... Madam Reese, I... I didn't know you were a caster. Please spare me, I can lick your feet, I'll do whatever you want!"

"Lick my feet? Are you worthy?"

Reese, who was smiling moments ago, instantly got angry after hearing that.

What garbage thinks it's worthy of licking her feet.

"Die!"

With a wave of Reese's hand, a giant ice cone descended, piercing Pier through.

Blood spread, emanating a strong scent of blood.

Reese looked around to ensure nothing was overlooked, then with a wave of her hand, a water tornado from the nearby lake swept away all the corpses and blood.

After dealing with all that, Reese happily ran back to the carriage.

Herag was already sitting up, meditating with his eyes closed, "All settled?"

"Of course." Reese, embracing Herag, couldn't wait to lean in for a kiss.

Herag pushed her head away, "We need to leave here first to avoid any unnecessary trouble."

After all, with so many dead, if they didn't leave quickly, more trouble could arise.

The main goal of their outing was the mission, so any other trouble should be minimized.

Reese nodded and shouted to David outside the carriage, "You heard that, David, drive us out of here."

After speaking, she leaned in again, gently parting her red lips and sticking out her tongue.

...

David scratched his head, got onto the carriage, pulled the reins, and guided the carriage slowly toward the main road, then gradually moved forward.

Behind them, the campfire on the ground was still burning.

In the nearby lake, several bodies drifted.

Pier, eyes open, stared at the stars and moon above, as if still alive.

The carriage moved forward slowly, headed for Nightfall City.

After four hours of travel, the carriage stopped in a forest.

They were now far from that lake, and any trouble wouldn't reach them.

By the time others found the bodies in the lake, it would have nothing to do with them.

Inside the carriage, Reese, with a flushed face, sat beside Herag, who whispered, "Stop fooling around, we'll discuss it later."

Reese gave a seductive smile, whispered into Herag's ear, "If you feel awkward with David here, I can put a sound insulation spell, or just let David go on ahead alone."

"That's not happening. Remember, our top priority is completing the mission, let's not delay it."

Herag refused decisively, not one to be dominated by desire.

The mission was inherently dangerous and not easy to complete, naturally, he couldn't allow David to leave alone.

Seeing Herag speak so seriously, Reese understood the urgency and didn't insist, saying softly, "Okay, we'll likely rest in Nightfall City tomorrow night..."

Herag then resumed meditating, waiting for dawn before setting off again.

The spiritual power in his mind had compressed to near its limit.

Herag believed, perhaps it wouldn't be long before he entered the Liquid Stage.

His current spiritual power was on the verge of breaking through, just one step away from the Liquid Stage.

Herag wasn't in a hurry, nor did he try to force a breakthrough.

He followed his usual training discipline, meditating daily, progressing step by step.

Forcing a breakthrough now had a chance of success, but if it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

On the contrary, with consistent training, he would naturally enter the Liquid Stage someday.

Herag naturally chose the more stable method.
