Seeing a person whose level was under 400 defeating someone above that level was so unbelievable that everyone widened their eyes. Even though the knights knew how powerful Elena was they were still unable to believe that she was actually able to defeat this person and with such ease. The slave traders who were quite relaxed were now pale with fear. They had never even thought in their wildest dreams about the current unbelievable outcome.

After knocking Harris out, Elena used her runes to add several restrictions on him. It took her quite some time as she created all these runes from scratch instead of using her stockpile. She did not want to waste her readymade runes if possible. Soon she was done and this mighty retired knight became completely useless with all the sealing runes.

Then Elena poured a potion on him to bring him back to his senses. After opening his eyes Harris immediately noticed that he was unable to feel his level 400 power. Currently he felt like he was just a normal level 10 elf. He sighed loudly after understanding the current situation and said and said in a defeated tone -

"How unfortunate am I to find a well prepared runic caster here. I admit defeat. Feel free to ask or do whatever you want. I will not resist and answer properly."

Elena first told the knights to ask Harris questions if they had any. Those knights looked at each other's faces and then Cremonia stepped up to ask the question that was on everyone's mind.

"Senior Harris, is the royal knight order working with the slave traders ?"

Hearing the question, Harris said in a matter of fact voice -

"Yes. They are. At least with a part of the Royal Knight Order."

Hearing this a very sad expression appeared on their faces. With how depressed all of them looked, it was evident that they would not be able to ask any more questions. So, Elena took over Cremonia and started asking questions herself.

"Tell me in details which part of the royal knights are working with the slave traders."

"The royal knights working for the first and the third prince are working for the traders. One of the vice captains is also in cahoots with them. He is also the one who offered me a lot of money to work for them."

Cremonia was from the camp of the second princess and the other three knights were also working for fifth and sixth heirs. So it was evident that they were sent here as some sort of sacrificial pawns and also to weaken the opposing factions.

"Who are the people behind the slave traders ?"

"These slave traders are working under royal highness Kolhdre who is also the younger brother of the current king."

"What are the power levels of the people involved in it ?"

Hearing this question, Harris gave a mocking laughter and answered -

"The royal highness is at level 600. The vice captain of the royal knight is at level 500. A few personal guards of the royal highness are also at that level. The outside cooperators also had several level 500 plus individuals in their rank. Hehe, you might have defeated and captured me but your end is also not very far away."

Harris had expected Elena to show a scared expression after knowing the full strength of their group or he hoped to at least see some worry on her face. But unexpectedly Elena was completely unfazed and asked the next question in the same matter of fact tone -

"How many cities do you have your bases on ?"

Now for the first time Harris showed a ferocious expression after hearing Elena's unchanged tone even after his reveal. The knights were showing the scared expression as he had expected but this girl looked completely disinterested in it.

"Foolish girl, don't you understand ? We have more people way stronger than you. We even have a Runic Caster whose level is higher than yours. You all are skewered now. If you beg for mercy now decide to join us then you still had a chan- AHHHHH."

Before he could finish his sentence, Elena had thrown a pain inflicting rune toward him. This rune did not damage him in any way but directly sent insane pain signals to the brain. He was forced to shout out loud. But he still looked at Elena with defiance in his eyes. It looked like he was only willing to tell the truth before because he was confident that Elena and the others would get scared after knowing it and would release him. Now that it did not happen, he was also unwilling to reveal anymore information.

Elena did not mind it and immediately gouged his eyes out. Harris immediately started screaming but Elena stuffed the eyeball in his mouth to stop him. Then she used a healing rune to heal his eyes and said in a chilling voice -

"I'm not playing games anymore. Be a good boy and answer whatever I ask like you were doing before. I'm not patient enough to hear your useless mumblings."

Seeing the expression Elena was making right now, Harris was scared shitless. He was immediately forced to understand that this girl in front of her who looked like a holy being was more dangerous than any evil being out there. Immediately he lost all his willpower and started to confess again like a good boy. It looked like this brave knight had lost his soul.

...

Elena was in a very good mood while trying out various techniques she had deduced. Then why did she suddenly change her tone and become serious ? That was because, when she was questioning Harris, she suddenly got a bit curious and used her broken abilities to check this group out. Then she suddenly found out that these people were doing way more cruel things than she had expected.

Slave trading was only one of the many illegal things that they were doing. And it was actually one of the least cruel ones. They had done almost all the bad things from infant sacrificing to pregnant women refining. This group was actually trying to find a way to overthrow the current king of this nation. But he was a very powerful person above level 700. So it was almost impossible to overthrow him using normal means. For that reason, Kolhdre was trying to find some alternate means to kill his elder brother. That was the reason why he was doing all this.

If it was just slave trading, Elena was willing to take measured steps to destroy them. But now that it turned out that this group was way more troublesome and evil, she immediately became serious and decided to destroy them thoroughly by taking immediate steps.

As for how she was going to take care of the powerful level 500 and 600 beings, she was going to use her alternate identity of Camelia. And if she was not strong enough to take care of this whole thing, Elena was willing to create a second alternate identity.

Now the scariest being in this world was starting to make her moves.
