Duskwing, some time earlier
- He's not bad.
On a large, cold stone slab lay a man bound in chains, possessing a mighty physique and attractive facial features. Gazing at his full lips and expressive scarlet eyes, Carnea involuntarily licked her lips.
- My Lady. - Noticing this emotion on her face, Cedric Gayavl, who commanded all the knights of Revnland, hastened to voice his protest. - This gift from the priestess Revaniel could be very useful in realizing your grand ambitions.
The Knight of Smoldering Henpeckery always knew his lady's mood and was probably the only one in the entire world who could predict the unpredictable consequences of words spoken in her presence at any given moment.
- I know, I know. - She was in a good mood now. - It would be a great loss, but my body demands to satisfy its hunger right now.
- There are other candidates; this man could serve as your meal later, after he fulfills his purpose…
Carnea did not listen to her bothersome knight and climbed atop the alien, immediately giving free rein to her hands — her sharp nails passionately dug into the chest of the prone man and instantly became stained with his blood. He did not like this — the muscle fibers of his entire body turned into a taut string, and the metal binding them began to tremble.
- Hey, these chains can hold the monsters of Regret, what are you hoping for? Ahaha, come on, come on, your resistance only arouses me more!
- My Lady!!! - Cedric grabbed Carnea by the shoulders and at the very last moment pulled her away in time. The chains imprisoning the alien snapped, and he himself instantly sprang to his feet and stood up to his full height.

- Impossible… - A rare emotion of surprise appeared on Carnea's face. - He's not a man at all, but a natural disaster, ahaha!
Unlike the madwoman, the warriors present here were still capable of feeling fear, and they understood — things were bad. Four of them rushed at him simultaneously, deciding to rely on well-coordinated teamwork. The red-eyed man easily blocked the blow of the Knight of Oppressive Melancholy and responded with a powerful uppercut, sending him into a knockout. Zedil Mox's hammer missed his head, and instead his hand brutally grabbed the face of the Knight of Unbridled Violence and slammed him into the floor. At the same time, his other hand caught an arrow fired by the Knight of Scorching Ordeal and launched it back — it struck him in the neck and took him out of the fight. The Knight of Alcove Frenzy tried to attack the monster in human form from behind, but he performed an elegant backflip, during which he twisted his opponent's neck and took his weapon. The next instant, he was exchanging dozens of blows with the henpecked one — he proved to be an extremely powerful opponent, deftly wielding two swords, each blow promising to be lethal, but the alien warrior still found the right moment to kick him in the chin, temporarily immobilizing him. Cedric had not even fallen to the ground yet when Carnea's neck was caught in the iron grip of the red-eyed man.
- Hehehe... Ahaha... - The Praying Mantis was pleasantly surprised by what she saw, but her euphoric expression soon turned to anger. - Carnarez!!!
The monster had only a moment to react — he had to release his target and make a sharp lunge backward, otherwise the assassin who appeared seemingly out of nowhere would have taken his life.
- Hmph. - In Sir Carnarez's life, this was the first time a target had managed to avoid death from his attack. - The element of surprise is lost. We must retreat.
- What?! No!! - Carnea was categorically opposed to such an idea. - Either you useless worthless incompetents kill him, or we all die here together like one big clown family; I won't allow any other option!
- Stop... - The Knight of Smoldering Henpeckery rose to his feet with noticeable difficulty and slowly, without provoking the furious warrior, stood between him and his lady. - There's no need for us to fight... You, you have a mission, don't you? The priestess sent you to us not to kill everyone. - Turning his head toward Carnea, he continued. - Let's all cool down a bit and rethink this situation...
In the end, the explosive situation was defused in time, and the injured knights, even the severely wounded, miraculously survived.
