Our party found themselves being slowly pushed into a corner as dozens of mutant steam elementals, with large metal balls as their fists, approached them from every side.

"Hold on, Mileo... I apologize for rejecting you back then." Nizren said calmly, bowing slightly. Can't we find a peaceful solution...?"

"Hmm..." Mileo looked down in deep thought. "Sure. Why not?"

"Oh my! Truly?" Nizren's eyes lit up with joy.

"Hell no, you dumb bitch!" spewed the steam man.

"Oh– How dare you speak to a lady that way??" scoffed Nizren.

Honestly, she kind of deserved that one...

"Zap!" shouted Gabriel, who has been reciting his chant ever so imperceptibly.

The dash of lightning reached one of the evolved elementals, vanquishing it before the 2 metal balls drop to the ground with a loud thud.

"Listen guys, if we get into a fight with a large group of steam elementals, I won't be able to handle all of them. Therefore, I'll need you to distract them with these. They'll be more useful than your blades against the elementals, but feel free to carry your usual weapons as well."

Those were Gabriel's words the day before we went to the hotspring. To think we'd actually use these....

Ivan looked over to Lynn, who gave him a serious nod.

"Guess that's our que." she said as she drew her wooden paddle, slashing through the steam elemental next to her.

Ivan followed suit, drawing his own paddle and running towards the nearest elemental. The beast launched a steel ball towards him like a loose fist which the boy effortlessly dodged. After closing the distance, Ivan launches several quick slashes into its torso, disrupting it.

"Don't stick to just one! Hinder  a different elemental while the others reform!" Gabriel yelled across the room while zapping an elemental.

"Got it." Ivan nodded, jumping towards the next elemental.

As Ivan and Lynn kept dodging the metal balls while messing with the steam elementals, Gabriel steadily fried one after the other.

"Zap!!" Gabriel panted as he destroyed yet another elemental.

"Gahaha!" The steam man cackled disgustingly. "Getting tired, are we? Wonder how much longer you'll be able to keep this up!!"

At that moment, his attention turned to the woman that was standing a distance away from the fight. The authoritative lady with long, dark violet hair wearing a kimono of similar colour simply observed the fight, unbothered.

"To think I'd get my revenge this soon...!!" said the steam man to himself as a grin widened on his face. He wasted no time walking towards the woman who quickly took notice of the approaching figure.

Instinctively, she took a step back. However, aware of her situation, she didn't bother running as she gave the man a stern, yet fearful look.

"...What is it that you want?" asked Nizren with a slight uncertainty in her voice.

"Isn't it obvious? I want you to suffer the way I suffered because of you!" declared the unstable man.

Nizren sighed "If... If you believe it is right to make a woman suffer simply because she did not reciprocate your love then you truly are a sad excuse of a man." she proclaimed, unwavering.

"Ghhh!!" Furious, the man clenched his teeth. "Screw you, bitch!!"

At that moment, Lynn's back hair tingled. She immediately turned around, discovering the scene that was unfolding at the other side of the cave.
