Before I could even put my foot on the stairs, a sharp sound wave was coming to me.

I quickly pulled my leg to the side and stepped to the side narrowly avoiding the unknown attack.

"Ho? Impressive."

I widen my eyes as I did not see it coming, if were not for my instinct I would have probably died on the ground.

"Pretty impressive for such a little girl, accepting this mission is worth I guess."

I look at the person who was standing on the second floor, a wave of disheveled red hair, brown skin, and red eyes with sharp lashes and a scar on her left eye.

She was also holding a battle axe with a unique design, the blade of the ax is completely red and the handle is gray, along with a carving that looks like a root that stops at the top of the handle.

She is also wearing a chest plate and some shoulder plate as well, a brown T-shirt but it could not hide her masculine body, she was wearing a short-short and a stocking that stopped at the middle of her tights, and boots that I could see it was used for a long time.

"I was watching your fight, I see that you have the Echidna's thread, eh? Did someone give it to you?"

I did not answer and just look at her warily, I just realize, of course, the enemy would notice a commotion.

And thinking about it, why would only ten men come to me?

This thinking made me conclude that maybe there was a chance.

That they know I was coming.

Soon, this conclusion that I wish aren't true became a fact.

Many footsteps could be heard around the mansion, and soon many people who were wearing black suits started to appear in my field.

Swords, guns, staff, etc any kind of weapon held by each person in this area.

"This..."

"Surprise? Ha! Sorry little girl, but we expect you to come, well not you... We did not expect that person will send a little girl... Oh, well, doesn't matter, what matter is... You probably put an effort to survive."

As the red hair person finish what she said, all of the mobs brandished their weapons.

A woman with a staff stretches her arm and a magic circle appeared.

'They have a mage too? '

This...

"Now then... Die!"

All of the mobs started to come at me with a roar of battle cry.

This...

A man comes at me with a sharp knuckle on his hand, he gave me a straight punch but I parried it with my arm and twisted his arm to the side and pull him, grabbing my knife and pointing it at his neck.

I am in a pretty bad situation, aren't I?

"Agh!"

I use the man as a hostage to stop the others from coming, but it seems that some do not care about their teammates at all and fired their guns at me.

I have no choice but to use the man as a meat shield and run forward while still using the now-dead man as a meat shield.

As I push myself forward, some come into contact however because I was using a meatshield they could not hit me, but that doesn't mean my back is also protected as others tried to attack behind me.
