"You should pray to your lord that you will be granted a swift death if you do not tell us where Gold is!" The silver haired leader had already transformed into a silver furred werejackal, probably correlating to the name that he has.

"Funny, he mentioned a Silver before. Seeing you are a silverish werejackal...Am I correct in assuming you are that Silver?" Sebastia was confident upon having fought against Gold and his other werejackals that the werejackals in front of her would be no match.

She did not even bother using her coin speciality and raised her palms out, asking them to come at her as a taunt. "Perhaps, I should bring you to my client too."

Needless to say, the entire group of werejackals took the bait rather quickly after hearing Gold's name. Sebastia did not need to provoke them any further to harm her. Defeating them and thereby be under the System's control, would definitely aid to serve her purpose. Besides, it saved Sebastia fewer explanations and a quick reunion with his cousin, Gold would do the job.

"I must say, you guys definitely know your basic tactics for combat." Sebastia was still standing at ease seeing the werejackals attacking from all angles since this was a dead end with blocks of buildings surrounding them and her being at the centre.

Silver dashed straight like an arrow while the other werejackals pounced up, moved to the sides and even tagged behind him to initiate a follow up attack. Two werejackals also ran a bigger round so that they could strike from the back of Sebastia, making sure that she had no place to run.

But she did not need to run at all.

Her martial techniques had gone up several levels after she studied the various ways of cultivations manuals which used Wing Chun as a base. Sebastia might not have any chi to practice such techniques, but that did not mean that her inner demon powers were unable to help her achieve something similar. With the aid of the System as well as Bellator Zeru's instruction in learning how chi works, Sebastia had adapted the chi techniques into her demon abilities, allowing her to simulate the chi techniques as her demon powers.

Lord Moloch had tested her strength and deduced that it should be strong enough to be called a demon ability too. Thus, Sebastia had named those modified Wing Chun techniques as 'Martial Arts of the Demonic Minotaur'. "While I wish to compliment you more, I do not hope that those praises will go over your head. There are plenty of martial skills that could surpass the ones you created." Moloch stated as a matter of fact.

"Do not worry, I will not lax in my training and continue to improve these martial arts skills as we level up together with Master Jin. But most importantly, I will not let you down." Sebastia told Moloch straight to his face.

"Aww. Don't you make me blush. Silly."

Sebastia still vividly recalled the scene and Moloch's reply in her head as Silver rushed towards her. To her, even if she received a scratch from him, it would not do much harm at all, but that would hurt her pride being the strongest Minotaur Maid for Moloch.

Thus, she deflected the straight thrust of his claw strike with her hand and swung him to the side, hitting another werejackal. In the next few seconds, all she did was brushing the werejackals off one by one as if they were flies desperately fluttering around her. (To be honest, even flies provide more challenge than these clumsy werejackals.)

"Sad to say that your basic tactics cannot help you if you can't even land a hit on your opponent. Please try again." Sebastia once again provoked the werejackals and Silver, citing that she had not warmed up from all the attacks.

"You are asking for it. We were trying to be nice to you." Silver panted angrily as he clasped his hands together. The other werejackals knew what he was doing and proceed to distract Sebastia.

"Sebastia, what is taking you so long? It's past the allocated meeting time." Meomi asked in the secured channel. She heard some loud sounds from the south where the Inn was located and noticed that a few Demon Rat Guards had been alerted to it.

"I'm a bit busy. You could say I'm preparing a special present for Gold." She replied while smacking a werejackal hard onto the floor that the contents of his skull leaked out. The others growl and howled at her upon seeing it, making Silver even angrier.

"We hear distant sounds from the direction of the Inn. I assume that's you and it seems you will have additional company very soon." Flame Ripper informed her as he took out his notebook and jotted down what he had observed the Demon Rats doing in the town. He believed that those rats were hierarchical in nature. Instead of personal power, ranks played a part since he saw some weaker rats commanding big hulky ones.

"That means either someone is pulling the strings or they are sentient with some level of intelligence. The steampunk technology they put together also indicated they might have rats smart enough to create inventions." Flame Ripper discussed his findings with Meomi at the clocktower.

"I don't remember Gold, your knights or even you mentioning something like that before. Did they showcase such behaviour when those rats invaded your town?" Flame Ripper asked while he also observed the reactions of the townsfolk seeing the guards.

"No. They did not have Steam Tech at the time. The Demon Rats were not a single bit organised. Just crazy monster rats biting anything that moved. I thought that it was only that particular battalion would have those Steam Techs, but it seems things have changed a lot after Master Jin captured us." Meomi quietly watched the movements of the rats from the top of the clocktower too. The same kind of rats they saw in the battalion fight, were rushing in doves to Sebastia.

In the meantime, Sliver had finished powering up his magical energy to infuse it into the shape of a sphere, the standard kind of energy bolt or ball in this case. (At the very least, it's glittering with silver energy.) The werejackals knew what was at stake and risked their lives to hold on to Sebestia.

"Now taste the fury of the Silver Mage!" Silver announced as he had strained his lifeforce to create this silver ball of magical rage.

"Really? That is all Gold taught you? He must be either too busy to teach you properly or thinks that you do not have a single shred of talent to do it properly." Sebastia continued to harass Silver even though she was 'pinned' by the werejackals

"At least we know that you would not be surviving to tell him your opinion!!" Silver said as he ran towards the Minotaur Maid with every ounce of strength he had.

"What a joke. Enough playing around. The Rats are coming." Sebastia was still calm and serene despite the situation.

"I do not give a damn!" Silver smashed the energy ball into Sebastia's chest armour as the energy engulfed her upper half of the body. The Werejackals were doing their best to hold her despite the heat they experienced from the energy blast.

"Hmm, no doubt that you guys are serious about Gold and have the will too," Sebastia said out loud. "But at this rate, you will not be a help to him. More of a burden. Time to end this." Just a twitch of her muscles and she was able to break free from the werejackals' hold.

"Demonic Minotaur Martial Art. Drawing The Full Moon, Dividing The Watermelon!" Sebastia shouted as she moved her arms as if she drew a full round circle with her arms, throwing all the werejackals into mid air and with a slash from her hand. All of them including Silver were cut in half.

Fountains of blood spilt all over the back alley, as if it was raining body parts from the sky. Silver could barely comprehend the situation and only realised that he had messed up fighting with this formidable opponent.

"No wonder…Gold was captured by her client…" Silver saw the hordes of Demon Rats running into the scene as he breathed his last breath and fell from Sebastia's Demonic Minotaur Martial Arts.

"What happened here?" The Demon Rat Guards used a human collaborator as their mouthpiece to relay their messages.

"Just killing a few rebels. You can have a look for yourself, just that the parts are everywhere." Sebastia raised her hand up in innocence. The human collaborator walked right up to the dead werejackals and confirmed what the beautiful lady saying was true.

"It checks out. It's the Silver Mage and his rebel mates." The human collaborator said out loud to the Demon Rat in charge of the horde behind it. The rat then chattered his teeth, which seems like only the Human collaborator understood what it was saying.

"The Captain of the Uote Demon Guards says that you did good. Strong and Beautiful. What kind of reward do you want?" The human collaborator asked in lieu of the captain. Suddenly, Sebastia had a wondrous plan in mind which would make their work in finding the resistance so much easier.

"I want information on the rebels. I want to kill them all for you. And, of course, I want to know what you are talking, not indirectly talking to this pile of shithead." Sebastia demanded, and the Demon Rat Captain looked like it was deep in thought for a moment. Then it beckoned at the annoyed human collaborator by snapping its fingers.

"Yes, Captain? What do you-" A clean cut to his neck was performed the next moment, making his head roll down like a basketball. Blood spewed spontaneously which made the rats at the back of the captain giggling in delight. It looked like they also had had enough of that boot licking human collaborator.

The Demon Rat Captain then picked a transmitter from the ears of the dead human collaborator and carefully passed it to Sebastia. She shook it a little to remove any scattered blood before blowing and putting it on her ear.

"Can you understand me now?" The Demon Rat Captain asked which she nodded her head firmly.

"You did good. You say you want to kill more rebels? I give you a chance. Intelligence said that Silver Mage was planning to meet a resistance group to pass them the Jacks' aid package. We found out that they will meet them at the outskirts of Uote Town, right beside the windmill." The Captain gave the information out freely.

"Hmph, why kill all when you can leave one alive to know where their hideout is?" Sebastia smiled wackily, and the Demon Rat Captain was stunned momentarily before laughing. The others behind follow suit too.

"You good! You good! I'm starting to like you! If you can do what you are assigned to do, kill all, leave one. We will give you lots of rewards. Good food, Good men. Good money." The Demon Rat Captain speech became more monotonous as compared to the first speech.

"I smell some trace of magic before he laughed. Felt like death…perhaps necromancy magic." Meomi said as she already turned into her werecat form ready to attack the Demon Rats until Sebastia offered herself to kill more rebels.

"System, can you aid us to trace the magic source?" Flame Ripper asked and suddenly Meomi rubbed her nose.

"Follow me, I think the System just enhanced my sense of smell." The werecat said as she climbed down the building and followed the trace as much as she could.

"I will continue with their plan since it is beneficial for us to have information too." Sebastia spoke in the secured channel before talking back to the Demon Rats. "Those rewards do not entice me. Let's just say I want to be the best Rebel Hunter you've ever seen. What do you think of that?"

"Hahahaha! You good! I like you more and more! You kill rebels, I will introduce you to more Captains! They love Rebel Hunting too!" The Demon Rat Captain answered with a laugh and Sebastia smiled with glee.

"Then what are we waiting for? Get one of your rats to show me the way! I will ambush them instead!" Sebastian replied which made one of the Demon Rats, apparently a scout, lead the way to the rumoured meeting place in advance.

"Those rats, they won't even know what hit them." Sebastia licked her lips again as she trailed behind the fast moving Demon Rat Scout.
