"Luna, my dear bride, make sure you take care of our 'guests', alright?"

The young master touched Luna's face as he ordered this. His malicious intentions were clear for anyone to see.

Luna, who stood there like a doll, only blinked before she looked at us and then raised her hands. Her body glowed golden before Leo became even more ferocious. It was as if he was being controlled by something.

Neither sibling seemed to have their mind in the right place, and Officer Henry tried to fight Leo off, but because he had to hold back for Leo's sake, he was being pushed around.

"Hahaha, well done-! Well done, my son. I always knew you would do me proud. Now come, hand that power over to me as well so that we can use it together—"

Sir Freddy took a step toward his son, only for Leo to push Henry back and rush toward Freddy.

Before the noble could react, Leo had slashed him across the chest and left a deep wound. Freddy looked at his son in shock over what happened and tried to form the words. But that deep wound left him speechless.

"Father, I know what you want to say to me. However, I am now an independent adult. I no longer need you or your guidance. So this is goodbye now."

The young master told Sir Freddy, and the noble went down from shock. He was not dead, but I could not call him alive yet.

Leo returned his attention toward me next as he rushed toward me.

"Shopkeeper, watch out-!"

Officer Henry yelled out toward me, but I was ready. As soon as Leo came too close, I swung my staff and hit him with the shock.

The half-monster staggered due to the shock, but it did not take him down. But it did make him a little more careful toward me.

He quietly circled me as he wondered where he should attack me from. And I also adjusted the shock on my stick.

'It seems like Leo is not fully human at this point. I should knock him out and then see what I can do for him.'

The next time Leo lunged, he was much faster and took me by surprise. I somehow managed to keep my grip on my staff and bring it down as Leo tried to rip my shoulder off.

The shock this time made him stagger before he lost consciousness. The young master, who just watched this happen, looked shocked.

"Y-You-! How the hell—! Hey Luna, make your brother stand up right now-! He needs to take care of these people for us. Luna?"

The young master grabbed Luna's shoulder to shake her as he demanded her help. But Luna just blinked slowly at him as she tried to keep herself awake.

It was clear from her eyes that she had no consciousness or thought behind her head, and the young master felt frustrated.

"Fucking hell-! Dumb bitch. How dare you…ugh, fine. Since you are no use to me, I will have to do things my way."

He told us all before he snapped his fingers. I felt something moving under our feet, and Sir Freddy managed to get some words out.

"Y-You ungrateful son…of mine…"

Sir Freddy's life was draining faster than expected, and I quickly went over to him to try and stop the bleeding. But it just wouldn't stop bleeding.

The young master, on the other hand, just laughed at my futile actions.

"Ha-! Do you really think you would be able to get away from me so easily? Don't be ridiculous. All of you will die, and then there will be no one left to oppose me."

The young master sure had great ambitions. But I had no time to think of them when my life was in danger.

[Warning: Huge amount of magic has been detected. Would you like to neutralize all magic in the area for a whole day? Cost: 100 faith points.]

The system asked me suddenly, and like a ray of light shining in the darkness, it gave me hope…with some interest. That price was not something I liked to see.

Still, it was a solution that I was going to take no matter what.

'Fine. I will spend 100 faith points.'

[Magic Neutralization has been used. Please tap your stick on the ground to start the timer. Remaining Balance: 650]

I forced my body to stand up straight, and everyone suddenly turned toward me to see what I wanted.

"You sure are a pain in the ass, child. Do you truly think your tricks will help you out against us?"

These words escaped my mouth, and I felt embarrassed by them. I did not mean to speak this much, but now that the words were out, I could not take them back.

My words made the man in front of me grit his teeth. He looked at me sharply with anger in his eyes.

"How dare you say that. Do you not care for your life? With this magic, I will—"

I tapped my stick on the ground, and the magic immediately fell silent. The magic neutralization had been done in the area and it felt…a little different to me.

"W-What happened-? My magic, it's all gone? How-? What did you do?"

The young master asked as he looked around. Nothing was happening, and it made the man panic badly enough to try and run.

But Henry was ready to seize him, and as soon as the young master tried to get away, Henry caught up to him and seized him.

I walked over to the young master as well and raised his face with the stick.

"Running is futile. You need to pay for all the trouble you have caused till now. Maybe I will let Leo and Luna decide your punishment. After all, they are the ones most affected by what just happened."

I told the young master, and he panicked even harder.

"N-No-! You cannot-! You cannot do this to me."
