Inside the manor of the Thunder Empress, Darko, who had been running all day and night, returned, and his face was pale and full of fear when he thought about what had happened yesterday. But, luckily, Haru didn't intend to kill him and let him return to the Thunder Empress, and when he arrived, he was going to say all the bad things about him.

"Thunder Empress!"

Darko quickly kneeled himself respectfully, but his posture was so low that he put his forehead on the ground.

"What about the attack? Did you succeed?" Vasilisa asked the main problem, and she didn't care whether Darko was hurt or if Haru killed the other subordinates that she had sent or not.

"Ah!"

Darko was startled, and his body trembled, then he said, "No, we've failed, but Kasugano Haruka didn't kill us, he was so naive, and that was his weak--"

"How did he defeat all of you?" Vasilisa directly cut Darko's words impatiently.

"He..." Darko was a bit stunned, but then he respectfully told what had happened in the battle last night, and he also told how Vasilisa's thunder was redirected before.

"My Step Nine Dark Art is being redirected, huh?" Vasilisa murmured and thought that Haru was stronger than she had thought. Usually, most metaphysical or Saviors would die after she sent her Step Nine Dark Art, but it was easily stopped and redirected by Haru, which meant unless she used Step Ten or more, there was no way for her to defeat Haru. However, she didn't want to underestimate her enemy, especially when she recalled that hideous smile from Kondrat's corpse, but then she realized something and looked at Darko.

"It wasn't because I fled that I came back to you--"

"Enough."

Vasilisa looked at Darko and said, "Failure is unforgivable. You must die. No exceptions."

"Th - That can't be..."

Darko's body was then grabbed by Vasilisa's bodyguards, who kept pleading, calling out Vasilisa.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Thunder Emperor!"

Vasilisa's bodyguards then killed Darko directly.

Vasilisa then stood up and prepared herself. "Now, then." Even though she was quite wary of Haru's ability, she didn't think that she would lose, or rather she didn't think that anyone in this world could defeat her, showing her confidence and the reason why she could become the ultimate ruler in the Russia branch of the White Knight Order.

"Tell my bodyguards to get ready. We're about to have a battle."

"...."

Vasilisa's bodyguards were stunned when they heard Vasilisa's words since they knew how arrogant she was, so it was their first time to hear such words from her.

"Hmm?" Vasilisa glanced at her subordinates.

"Ah, yes! Right away!"

They shuddered when they saw Vasilisa's glance at them and quickly did what she ordered.

When Vasilisa saw her subordinates starting to scramble, she didn't think too much and used her Dark Art to look at the surrounding area, searching Haru's location, but she didn't see him anywhere, which made her frown.

Vasilisa's manor was located in the open field, and when someone got close, Vasilisa could notice it right away when she used her Dark Art.

"Your Majesty, your bodyguards are all ready."

"Umu..." Vasilisa nodded and tapped her fan several times, then sat down on her throne, waiting for him to appear.

'You want to slap my butts? I feel like you want more from me.'

Vasilisa had never been molested before, and everyone who looked at her with dirty eyes had been killed, but this time, it was different since this opponent was an S Rank Savior, an opponent that had the same rank as her.

Vasilisa's bodyguards were told to gather together without any expression on their faces, but if someone looked closely, there would be a nervous expression that couldn't be hidden on their faces.

"Everyone is for the Thunder Empress! Do whatever you can to eliminate the one that is trying to tarnish the Thunder Empress's dignity!" One man screamed, trying to rile up the spirit of the bodyguards.

Being riled up, they also shouted together, even though they didn't want to. Most of them were scared of the Thunder Empress, and they could do nothing besides following the order. If their opponents were weak, they wouldn't feel fear, but their opponent was known as the youngest S Rank Savior, and they also heard that he had defeated many leaders and Saviors easily without a sweat. They knew that it would be a hard battle, so...

*BOOOM!* *BOOOM!* *BOOOM!*

When they were in the middle of their thoughts, suddenly, the sound of thunderclaps sounded one after another.

The sky turned dark, an ominous cloud swirled like a vortex in the sky, and they knew that he had come...

"So you have come..." Vasilisa's eyes turned sharp, looking at the sky, but suddenly...

<BGM: Skan & Krale - No Glory>

The sound of loud BGM echoed through the field, and then everyone quickly looked up toward the sky, but they had to admit that this music was very cool.

Inside this dark cloud that was rumbling with thunder, suddenly, the presence of someone attracted everyone in this place.

There was one young handsome man in a white shirt unbuttoned, fluttering because of the wind, staring at everyone below with a smirk that caused many girls to blush. Besides him, two beautiful girls seemed to be shy for some reason.

Angela and Katya knew that Haru was about to go on a war with the Thunder Empress, but they had never expected that he would make such a big scene. However, they had to admit that his appearance was very handsome at this moment.

At this moment, in this place, no one looked away, and it was as if he had become the center of the world itself.

Vasilisa frowned and had to admit that this young man was very handsome, but at this moment, they were the enemy. She put her right in front of her mouth and couldn't help but snorted.

"Go down. You're in front of my presence, imbecile!"

Vasilisa was about to use her Dark Art, but an invisible pressure was suddenly released in this entire field!

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!*

Everything was cleared away. Some of the weak people directly fell on the ground either passed out or were unable to stand up, but the ones that stood up had a cold sweat on their entire bodies, unable, staring at the presence of the sky with fear.

It might be their imagination, but they felt that they were in the presence of the Emperor, which made them have an urge to bow down.

Haru looked at Vasilisa below him and asked, "Your dress is pretty, and it has the color of your butts after I have slapped it later."

"....."

Angela wanted to kick Haru at the moment.

Vasilisa was slightly startled by the invisible pressure before, but she wasn't weak enough to be defeated like this!

Vasilisa destroyed the fan on her hand and said, "Die."

Haru only smiled and said, "Come, try. If you can't, then you should know what will happen to you." He might have never killed a woman, especially a beautiful one, but he had always had a lot of interesting punishment for them.
