Worker's District, Ocien.
A while ago..
Rihanna had just entered the factory grounds. Nothing looked to be odd at this place as well. It seemed that it truly was a waste of effort on her side. As for the matter of firing workers, it most probably had something to do with the higher ups in the factories.
After Rihanna roamed around the place for a while, she decided to head back. After all, she had found nothing.
But, unbeknownst to her, a few pairs of eyes were keeping track of her every movement. And, after seeing that she was quietly planning to leave, their vigilance seemed to drop a little.
But, at this moment something unexpected happened.
Rihanna's eyes suddenly fell on the container which was being lifted with cables using a crane. She could see a couple of huge trucks which were being loaded with containers.
"Hmmn?" A frown suddenly appeared on Rihanna's face when she noticed that a tear had appeared on the cables attached to the container.
She immediately looked below and saw a few people standing there.
"Snap!"
The cable snapped, and Rihanna shouted as she moved, "Get away!!!"
She suddenly raised her hand, and green vines shot out from her sleeves and wrapped around the people beneath. But, she could only manage to pull two of the three people beneath before the container crashed on them.
"Boom!"
The crash shook the ground a little and sent dust into the air. The commotion obviously attracted everyone's attention, and the people immediately rushed towards the place.
As the dust settled, Rihanna looked at the green vine which was still trapped under the contained with a slight frown on her face. But, she was used to these things now. She was not a normal girl who would faint on the sight of blood.
"Hmmn?"
Suddenly, a frown appeared on Rihanna's face as she felt a movement under the container.
The next instant, metallic noise rang from the container as if it was under some kind of pressure. Slowly, the container rose, and Rihanna knew at this moment what was going on.
That person wasn't dead. But, how could an ordinary person survive that, and even lift that container. It was obvious that the person needed to have the strength of an High to Advance tier mage to accomplish such a feat.
"Whoosh!"
Rihanna suddenly felt a gust of wind on her back, and the next instant she ducked instinctively.
A steel pipe immediately went through air where Rihanna's head was earlier, barely missing her by an inch.
But, this wasn't the end, another hand moved and grabbed onto a wire on Rihanna's neck.
Rihanna didn't seem to realize this and immediately moved in order to pull a distance from the attackers.
And, when she turned around to see who they were, she was surprised to see that there were two people whom she rescued.
"Clang!"
At this moment, the container behind was suddenly flipped and a guy emerged from underneath.
Rihanna's face had changed by now. She could see that none of the people around seemed to be surprised by this sudden change of event, instead all of them were revealing a hostile gaze towards her.
'I need to inform everyone..' Rihanna immediately tried to tap onto the transmitter she had attached around her collar. But, her face changed when she found it missing.
"Are you looking for this?" One of the guys asked as he raised his hand to reveal the crushed transmitter in his hand.
"Too bad..there is no way out now. But, you can only blame your bad luck. If this incident didn't happen, both of us could have stayed in peace."
Rihanna scanned the place, and she began to look for a way out.
At this moment, one of the guys rushed towards her with a steel pipe in his hand while another swung a hammer.
These people obviously were not armed with any long weapons. After all, if they were, it was very likely that they would be found out in a second as it would be difficult to hide such weapons without any storage device.
Rihanna's pupil darted around as she look at the two attackers, and the next instant, she lifted her leg and stomped.
"Crack!"
Even though there wasn't much strength in her stomp, the ground began to crack, and the next second it crumbled as a huge tree root shot out of the ground and lashed out.
The two people who were rushing in were definitely caught unprepared, and the thick root hit them right head on.
"Bang!"
Two bodies flew through the air and crashed in the distance like rag dolls. Their movement had ceased and nobody knew whether they were dead or alive.
"You want to keep me here? Just with you all?" Rihanna smiled as she looked around. No matter what, she was a member of the Ancient family and even though she wasn't as prideful and arrogant as other, there was still some of it.
The people around seemed to realize that this delicate looking girl was not so simple.
"Attack together!!"
A person shouted, and the crowd suddenly rushed towards Rihanna.
Rihanna shook her sleeve, and two short axes slid down into her hands. There was no fear on her face as she took a step ahead and dashed.
At the same time, a thick tree-like outgrowth appeared under her feet and formed a platform ahead, leading her to a good height.
Rihanna didn't hesitate and took a leap from there into mid air.
"Frenzy Field!!"
She activated her true spell in the mid air, and then flew into the crowd.
Several vines and roots began to shoot out of the ground everywhere tearing the place down. People yelled as they tried to chop it down, but it quickly regrew like an immortal vine.
On the other side, Rihanna's hand continuously moved as she slashed down people, and tore her way out through the crowd in a straight line.
Her hands moved in all directions as arms and legs flew around in pieces. She was like a war goddess on a battlefield totally unfazed by the blood which had dyed her dress red.
….
In one of the nearby buildings, a man was looking at the scene below with a calm look in his eyes.
"Should I kill her?" There was a man kneeling behind him. It was the same guard who had been at the main gates earlier.
"She doesn't seem like an ordinary girl. How can a regular member of an Ancient Family be so strong at that age. She is in disguise.." The man who was looking at the scene calmly stated.
"Let her kill a few more, we were having troubles accommodating this low level bunch anyway. After that, capture her, I want her alive…" The man further added.
The guard who was kneeling behind nodded, and then disappeared a second later.
