Tania taking off her clothes, releasing her clothes one by one until she completely naked on the top. Her wound on the back dirtied by the dried up blood which has stay there for long. Under that dirtied back of hers, a face full of anger carved thinking about what was happened before.
Since her wound closed up faster than an average of human, Majordome open up her wound again to obtain more fresh blood of her. He use pipet to take a little sample of her blood and put it into a bottle filled with clear white liquid. The liquid then turned into a solid black color then slowly become bright red.
"It's complete, milady." said Majordome.
Without delaying any further, Tania immediately drink up the liquid while feeling frustrated. Rapidly, her wound closed and her back was clear like there isn't any scar on her back to begin with. Like an office man clearing their overdue task, Tania squeeze her wrist then feeling better after it. Majordome then wipe her back to cleanse the dried up blood.
Not a single word came out from her mouth after that, she immediately put on her clothes back.
"Thousand of problem running around your head, milady ?" Majordome ask.
"Ever since I was born. They just keep coming and coming without ever think to stop. All I can do just keep getting stronger and solve them one by one. Just now, I feel my body would be defiled by that man at any time. I... want to punch him so bad and show who is the boss."
Listening to his master words make him moved and wanted to protect her more. But somehow, it just drive him crazy and almost make him unable to think straight. But thanks to Tania, she is the one who able calm him down even when he at the highest point of berserk. Just by holding his hand, Majordome's heart and mind calmed down.
"It is okay, no need to rush now. We have just enough time to punch him later."
"I am sorry, milady."
"No need to worry. Moreover, we had more worth sandbag to be punched tonight."

Nera shorten the distance between her and the killer. She run through the vast empty field of the dimension then strike him by punching with her right hand. The killer guarding with his right hand gloves but with just one blow from her hand, the killer's magical gloves shattered like a candy after being dried up for a long time thus his stance broken.
The killer broke his poker face. He totally in shock after witnessing the might of Nera's physical power. His eyes opened wide, his mouth paralyzed, his body then jumped out from her by reflexes. Only one gloves remaining. Yet suddenly, his arm wearing that gloves bleeding and he had a hard time lifting his gloves.
From a far away distances, Cade shot the killer with his gun covered by a silencer to be able cut the sound waves and make his shot harder to read. Even when he act aggressive like that, Cade Valentine still holding himself to not to be swallowed by his emotion. He focused himself to punish him even more due to his restricted rage.
"I underestimate my opponent. But how, the strong one like her is considered as human !?" said the killer peevishly.
"Who knows. Just think back again, who are you. Do you even worthy to speak up like that against me." she showed up her domination.
"Then I am not done yet !"
By collecting the shard of life he has gathered, the killer creating the storm that would infuse his body with the energy of life. His eyes sharpened, his teeth growing big, the killer is begin his transformation into a beast like creature using his own magic.
Knowing where he gather the energy, Nera immediately run trespassing the storm that almost torn her maid outfit she wear. Using only her fist, Nera blow the storm away and punch the killer right in his face. The killer knock backed so hard that he almost fell to his own dimension.
"That hurt, bastard !" said the killer in pain.
"So what ? Am I just going to stand while you suck out your captive. Man I am here to free them all." continue Nera.
"But that's okay," said the killer while wiping the blood on his mouth, "I've bought too much time."
Without a second pause from his word, a giant blade flying fast targeting Nera then passing on beside her. The blade almost had Nera's head and cut a very small thin pieces of her hair in fast motion. The blade flying through the arena and stop beside the killer and the thin pieces of her hair fell right onto his palm.
Nera is shocked, she letting her guard down for a moment and it almost cost her life. But then, she recovered fast. She wrinkle her forehead and immediately strike the man beside the killer. But before she could get close to him, a double giant blade then strike her again in different ways. Nera reflexes, she dodge the blades then kick the handle of the blade to the right and take a distance from that man.
"Darn it, my beautiful hair ! This is a gift from master. Unforgivable !" Nera is angry.
Looking closer, Cade realize that the killer and the man beside him has the same appearance and similar face but the killer is surrounded with black green aura. The man who escaped is back with his final figure of a man who rule the dimension and his trustworthy companion on his side. A man who play with people shape.
"I am sorry for make you waiting. Are you really okay ?" said the killer's twin.
"That girl is a nuisance. Kill her first before we could touch the princess." said the killer.
"Oh well.... But before then, the names Herr Mann, we are one but in two. A man who would avenge the fall of the witches." the twins killer introduce himself.
"I allowed. The names Cade Valentine thus she my servant, Gatto Nera. Let's fight fairly." Cade introducing themselves.
Without waiting any longer, both side move forward to gain the first strike advantage. The killer strike Nera with his fist but suddenly before their hand clashes, the killer melted and dive the ground with his magic. The killer then substitute with the killer twins humanoid doll who held the double giant blade. Unable to retreat, Nera focusing her power on her hand then punch the doll as fast as she could then torn the doll into five part.
Meanwhile, the killer who dive the ground jumped and appeared in front of Cade to threaten him with his big sharp claw on his hand. Luckily, the bayonet has attached on his firearm. He thrust his rifle like a spear, aiming right into his chest. The killer know his intention thus he immediately slap his rifle then take a distance between them. As expected, Cade take a shot after the killer slap his firearm.
"As expected from the veteran of war." mumble Cade.
In the other hand, the doll who's destroyed by Nera is immediately repairing itself using a thin sharp string that connect bones to bones. But whilst the doll repairing itself, the doll also change shape into an abstract thing to trap Nera and separate her head from her body. The string immediately tightened her body and ripped her clothes apart.
"Tricky bastard, these are the gift from my master !" Nera is getting angrier and screamed.
With her mighty magic power, she ripped the thin sharp string and break free from its grapple even though it cost her maid outfit she always adore. Nera cut the string pieces to pieces until it no longer connected each other and broke the doll completely into a dust. She then punch the dolls face on the ground in anger and stare the killer's twin right into his soul.
"Never wakes the sleeping lion, seems you never heard of it !" said Nera.
"Curiosity kill the cat. But you are that cat." continue Herr Mann.
The killer twins then summon two more similar doll and make them surround him. On the other hand, Nera ripped her clothes off and leaving her with only sports bra and her maid outfit trousers. Don't want to expose herself even more, she then pulled out a secret outfit from her backpack and put them on in fast motion.
"What's that stupid clothes you are wearing ?" ask the killer's twin.
"Don't you ever go to the east ? Seems I am going to teach you the taste from the east." answer Nera.
Suddenly, an explosion occur behind Nera and she began to move forward and launch her attack again. Cade Valentine jumped out from the killer's range and keeping his distance so he could shot him down precisely. But eventually, Cade trapped inside his attack range and force him to deal a close range battle with him. Cade uses his rifle like a spear to defend himself from the aggressive killer using his claw to exterminate him. A clashing sound of the claw and the rifle could be heard throughout the battlefield. Thus eventually, Cade manage to shoot his bullet again and make it explode in an unexpected direction.
He then keep shoot the bullet and explode them everywhere throughout the arena and dimension.
"Darn it, you'll destroy the dimension !" said the killer.
"And I want you to release all your subject. Is that clear ?!" ask Cade while pointing his bayonet knife to him.
The killer then stopped for a moment, he stare at Cade's serious eyes. Behind him, Nera fought his twin furiously yet somehow he felt something is missing. He just felt Cade's warm heart throughout the fight. He feel that they fought well but Cade and Nera is yet near at their full potential. They still have a heart to spare even after he stole what's belong to them. He felt a sympathy.
"Hmph.... A hero has been born from an evil." the killer then straighten his body to face cade like a gentleman. "I supposed that I've---"
Suddenly, a man in white suit appeared behind the killer and stab his back pierce through her chest and grab his heart out. Tania and her servant Majordome appeared out of the blue after the killer thinking to surrender. Her appearance makes the dimension almost collapsed just by entering and Tania start to walk away from the killer.
Cade then realize that colonel's weapon case is opened and the content inside has already on her possession.
The killer twins completely shocked since he didn't expect for their rendezvous going to be this soon. He dropped down his dolls and fall from his knee before her. He completely lost since his best companion has already on her hand and he couldn't do a thing to the captive. All he could do is just sit and wait for the execution.
"Finish him *snap* !!!" said Tania.
With just one flick from her finger, Majordome crush the killer's heart and kill him in short time. The killer tried to reach Cade but he passed out before he could reach anyone in front of him. His hand hanging limp, his black green aura disappeared, he finally lost his life.
