(AN: Hello there! I have to strongly encourage anyone who hasn't yet, to read the remake of chapter 43 as I changed a lot of details that will be key throughout this chapter.

With that out the way, the chapter!)

"Reika, we need to leave NOW!"

That was what I heard as Myria strongly grasped my wrist.

I did not really know what was going on as I asked instinctively:

"Wah?! why?!"

"There's no time to explain. WE LEAVE. NOW!"

I just stared at Myria in shock as she began amassing magic power in her hands...

"Myria... what are you doing...?"

It was honestly quite worrying seeing Myria amass magic power while concerned... Nothing usually fazes her and seeing her in such a state I can only wonder what was about to happen...

But, before I had a chance to say anything else... Myria chanted:

"[IMPERIAL ESSENCE]!!!"

And as her chanting came to a close, strange ruptures began forming in the ground as the holy light began seeping out of them...

It was honestly, quite scary as literal chunks of ground began moving and shaking like a small earthquake had just begun beneath our feet...

All of the mages, swordsmen, and archers that had entered the guild just seconds ago began to panic as the holy light that was seeping from the fissures began taking the form of tentacles wrapping around their legs, arms, and any other body part they could latch onto...

"AHHHHH" -Knight 1

"WAIT, NO PRINCESS MYRIA STOP!!!" -Knight 2

"PLEASE! NOT THIS!!!" -Knight 3

"Ohhhh~ Yesss~" -Pleasured Pervert Knight (Failed entrance exam as a healer)

As much as that last reaction really weirded me out... the screams of the knights still alarmed me as the glowing tentacles began wrapping around the terrified knights...

And as they became entangled with the tentacles, the men would consequently pass out... If I remember correctly those tentacles would dry out your MP in an instant leaving you out cold the second they touched you... Furthermore, the more MP you had, the more MP would be sucked painfully out of your body... as such, the more MP you had... the more painful was the touch...

'Thank goodness I have no MP at all...'

That is literally all I could think as the knights passed out one by one...

It was honestly scary how many men fell prey to Myria's skill in such a short time...

I was just left confused in a sense trying to guess the reason as to why Myria had been so concerned earlier if she could deal with the knights so easily...

But... as I was gazing around looking for a possible justification... I finally saw the most likely reason for concern...

The man who had bravely declared us as enemies and traitors of the kingdom was quite literally berserking through the light tentacles as if they were made out of paper...

He was like a speeding train as he flailed his chains glowing bright yellow and vibrant red from the flames embracing them...

Yeah, he had somehow managed to turn good ol' normal chains into some kind of weapons of death using only his elemental magic... of course, not as great as my skill [Absolute Oblivion] but astonishing nonetheless...
