Chapter 141- Burning the garden down
Clara's whip blades dragged along the floor bringing the 2 guards to finally notice her. Lightning crackled around Clara as she walked up to them.
The guard that had been rather useless in dealing with Shaman sent a fireball toward Clara.
Clara kept moving forward as a loud crack of lightning boomed and the fireball was instantly destroyed. The guard paled, seeing Clara's sinister grin.
"My turn~." Clara cracked her whips leaving deep cuts in the floor.
The earth guard put his hands on the ground raising spikes from both ground and roof, converging on where Clara stood. A bolt of lightning, which should have been impossible indoors, crashed down on Clara, leaving her spot empty as if she disappeared.
One of Clara's whip blades swung around the fire guard's neck and the other slashed the earth guard's back. The earth guard fell to the ground in pain while turning his head to see where Clara was.
"Now let me ask you some questions and if you don't answer his head goes flying." Clara slightly tightened the blades and blood started dripping from the fire guard's neck.
"Like I would tell you anything!" The earth guard couldn't care less about the fire guard. Even if he did, they were bound by a contract, so he was not allowed to speak unless he wanted to die from the curse of binding.
'What a shame." Without any hesitation, Clara pulled on her whips and cut the fire guard's head off.
"Now let's have some fun~." Clara stepped on the guard's back where she cut him.
"Arggghhhh!" The guard grunted in pain, disrupting his focus and leaving him unable to use his spells.
"I will give you one more chance, are you going to answer my questions?" While saying this, Clara twisted her foot, making him scream some more.
"Burn in hell bitch!" The guard insulted Clara in one last act of defiance.
"Saying that to a demon, how ironic." Clara retracted her blade-whip back to its sword form and stabbed it directly into the guard's heart.
'Clara is kinda scary when she fights people.' Shaman who was watching from the shadows was a little terrified of Clara.
*sigh* "What a hassle, did not even bother to hear me out." Clara whipped off the blood on her whips.
"What were you going to ask?" Shaman poked her head from the roof wondering what she was going to say.
"I was going to be funny and ask how his day was, but it seems like they are hiding something." Clara, wanting to get a good laugh from seeing the confused guard's face, found out that there may be something very valuable hidden.
"Also he may have been bound by some sort of contract, I have seen them before and they put a seal on you to make sure you do not spill any information. This is used a lot when hiring people to better protect the master's secrets." Clara guessed this was the reason why the guard refused to talk, which would indicate that there is something special in the mansion.
"I see, let's try to get it out of the noble snake, but I think we will have some company soon." Shaman could hear running outside what she believed to be a basement, indicating a bunch of guards were rushing in.
Elysia had also woken up and just like Shaman and Clara broke the chains that were holding her down.
"Where the hell am I?" Elysia, waking up a little dazed, tried to gain her bearings.
'Hey sweetie~ we were tied up by some snake men who are about to rush into the room, do you want to kill them?" Shaman quickly went to Elysia's side and while she explained what happened a bunch of guards barged in.
"Wait, we were tied up?" Elysia looked down to see broken handcuffs and shackles on the ground.
"Yep."
"Did they touch you?"
"How else would they tie me up?" Shaman, taking advantage of Elysia's protectiveness, made sure her anger was directed at the guards who entered.
Elysia's face went dark and Shaman could feel a sudden spike in mana.
"I'm allowed to burn the place down right?"
"Yes, we are allowed to." Shaman gulped as she didn't quite know what kind of destruction Elysia was going to do.

'Maybe getting that item Clara mentioned will no longer be possible.' Shaman believed that there was a high chance of it being destroyed, especially if Elysia goes through the entire mansion killing everyone.
Shaman walked back, going next to Clara to watch the show that was about to happen.
"Uhh, that item may be ashes by the end of this."
"Oh well, looks like we really will end up asking Freja for money." Clara felt like this was going to be a repeating theme of losing the riches of their kills.
"Yeahhhh." Shaman did not want to admit it, but at this rate, they would have to if they wanted to get things from the auction house.
A group of 6 guards rushed in, all holding different kinds of weapons.
Shaman was worried for Elysia, but seeing as how destructive she can be, Shaman figured it would be okay.
Elysia pulled out her spear and flames bursted all around her. Elysia's eyes glowed red and the guards felt a wave of fear.
Flames wrapped themselves around Elysia's spear while she took a stance ready to launch herself at the guards.
The guards readied their weapons and started conjuring up some spells to launch at her.
"Die."
Elysia pushed the ground with all her strength and dashed towards the guards, surprising them with her speed.
Elysia stabbed her spear into the first guard's head and let the flames burst out from her weapon, setting the entire guard's body on fire. A few of the guards swung at Elysia but were blocked by a fire wall.
A guard who had the water element started filling the room with water, but what he did not expect was Elysia's flames being so hot that any water that went near her got vaporised.
Elysia spun the spear in her hands for a moment before throwing the spear towards the water guard. The guard was unable to dodge the spear and had to take the hit.
The spear pierced through his chest pinning him against the wall. Upon contact with the wall, the spear exploded with flames, roasting the guard. More of the guards tried to throw spells of their own with one sending a wind slash.
Elysia made a bow out of flames, using it to fire an arrow towards the wind slash. The arrow made contact with the wind slash overpowering it thanks to its higher mana concentration, and feeding off its winds, becoming even more powerful. The arrow made a hole right through the wind guard's face, killing him instantly.
Another guard using the earth element tried to trap Elysia in an earth dome. Elysia, being unable to move, got caught in the dome and the guard mentally celebrated.
However, just as he was about to tighten the dome cracks started to form around the dome. Trying to speed up the process, the guard tried to compress the dome, but before it could get any smaller, the dome was smashed open.
Elysia had punched through the earth dome, her hands covered with blood. The earth guard was in awe at how she was able to punch out through rock.
Elysia quickly went to her spear, pulling it out of the wall while covering it in flames. She turned and glared at the 3 guards that remained making them all flinch. One of the female guards decided to make a run for it, but before they could reach the door a firewall blocked the entrance.
Elysia stabbed the startled guard from behind, piercing through her chest and burning her insides. The woman guard rolled on the floor screaming in pain as she was burnt inside out. Elysia flicked the blood off her spear while slowly walking towards the 2 remaining guards.
Wanting to finish things off quickly Elysia did something similar to her exploding arrows and condensed the flames on the spear to the tip.
The guards fell back not knowing what to do as it was a one-sided massacre.
Elysia, doing one last dash forward, stabbed into the stomach of the earth guard setting off the condensed flame.
Elysia, never being able to gauge how much power she puts into her spells, caused a massive explosion within the basement. A massive fire pillar rose from the ground, killing the other guard.
The roof of the basement was destroyed, exposing what was above them which seemed to be the garden.
"Elysia! I know we can burn the place down, but I thought you weren't actually going to." Shaman called out as she didn't expect her to cause as much destruction with how she was fighting and figured the place was not going to burn down.
Elysia by now killed all the guards and returned back to her "normal" self, losing the deathly glare.
"Oops, I may have started burning the garden down." Elysia looked up and saw a fire was beginning, but she had no regrets.
