Alizejh left the caf and rushed over to the enforcer department.
From the call she got, it was an emergency alert, it was so important that she had to part with her dear brother without a proper farewell.
When she reached the department, she hurried over to her office where Valerie was waiting for her.
Upon reaching inside, she scooted over all the things that were lying on her table and sat hurriedly on her seat.
She tilted her head to look at Valerie who seemed quite anxious.
"We have gotten an emergency mission."

"Out of all the places we have checked out, this area seems to be the most sinister and has a high probability of being the source of all the mana waves that have been harming the environment." Philip held a device in his hands as he gave the other members of his group a brief explanation.
The two lackeys behind him nodded,
"Lord Philp is the best!! Lord Philip is the most handsome!! Lord Philip's body is just too hawt for us to handle huff.... ha ha.."
At the end of their daily dialogue, they started to drool with their tongue sticking out of their mouth staring at Philip's crotch with a symbol of love in their eyes.
Suddenly Philip got a shiver, he tilted his head to look at his two lackeys and frowned but after seeing where they were staring, his expression instantly aged a thousand years.
"I just wanna die....."
Right when he muttered that, he met the gaze of Shi who bore the same expression as his own on his face.... except that his eyes seemed dead and bandages covered his entire body...?
"On second thought I would rather fuck them than become like that...."
Philp's body shuddered, even more, when he thought of how Alizejh would use Shi as a punching bag. The poor elf would be tortured every day.
He tilted his head to look at the dazzling silver-haired beauty sitting beside Shi and Valerie. Her phoenix-like eyebrows furrowed as she looked at the map in front of her.
A strange expression came over the face of Philip. Alizejh would as beautiful as before, recently she had started to look even more beautiful with each passing day.
A bit...too beautiful.
It was like as if every day her skin turned brighter and her curves, plumper and stiffer.
Although she wasn't wearing anything revealing, one could easily make out her figure, her assets had become even plumper which made the cloth tighter at those specific areas, threatening to tear off.
However, Philip didn't dare to have any lewd thoughts, he knew how scary Alizejh was. Her cute acting was an extremely big facade.
She was a demon behind her gentle face, he had personally made the mistake of seeing one of Shi's torture sessions. The poor elf was beaten to death just to be healed and then beaten into pulp again.
A normal guy, seeing the focussed expression of Alizejh as she navigated through the map would easily fall in love with her.
When Alizejh would focus on something, subconsciously she would pout which would make her look like an extremely cute innocent irritated baby.
Sensing the gazes on her, Alizejh raised her head with an indifferent expression and spoke.
"I seem to have found the location, let's go."
The others nodded and followed her lead, before long they reached the cave. All of them could feel their instincts screaming danger, something was extremely wrong with the cave.
However it was too late to turn back now, they had already slipped in.
As they walked further they could feel the blazing mana waves. It was extremely potent, it was good that they were wearing anti-mana clothing to protect themselves from the waves.
Darkness rose from the hollow end of the cave, all of them could feel suffocated. Something was definitely wrong.
Another wave resounded in the cave as numerous demon bats flew from it, towards Alizejh and the party's direction.
"Get in formation!" She ordered them all.
Shi's lifeless eyes regained a fire as he readied himself, he showed them all a hand symbol. Everyone in the party understood what he was trying to do since they had been with each order for a long time.
The hand symbol meant, 'Hold your breath, cover yourselves with masks.'
Shi specialized in poison techniques so upon seeing the bats he swiftly released the poison gas.
The gas was potent enough to knock the bats out however, the bats had mutated into a completely different kind of bat due to being close to the mana source.
"Shit! This is not enough." Shi cussed a bit. He turned to look at his other party members who had a grim expression pitched on their faces.
Alizejh sighed, she had no other choice. Her eyes glowed with a golden color. Silver-colored flames erupted from her hands.
Soul melting heat permeated from her silver flames in contrast to the cold glint in her eyes.
Although her eyes were like icicles, there was a wide smile creeping onto her face, hanging from the extreme left almost touching the left eye to the extreme right near the right eye.
A smile that would give every person a run for their money, even Rael had a trauma of this creepy smile of hers.
Her voice was as soft as snow and her tone was as gentle as a feather.
"In the name of mercy and faith, holiness shall strike your soul. Oh, poor lamb let holiness guide you to your path of salvation. May you be liberated, may holiness thoroughly cleanse your sins. In death there is freedom."
[Pure Holy Flames]
For the first time, light covered the entire cave instead of darkness.
*BOOOOM!!!* *Booom!!!* *Booom!!*
As the light slowly faded and the dust settled, one could see the corpses of the bats lying absolutely still, burning into ashes slowly by silver flames.
"Higgigigigigigigigigiighhihhiihihihihihihhaahahhaahaha!!!"
A peal of unique psychotic laughter similar to Rael's filled the cave, the members in her party all gulped their saliva and gave each other looks that screamed 'Is she okay???'.
Shi nodded to their expressions and mouthed, 'She is always crazy like this..... it's okay.'
Then as if it was just an act, she suddenly stopped laughing and looked at her companions with a cute expression and spoke in an innocent tone.
"What are you guys waiting for? Let's go ahead."
All of them simply froze at the huge personality change. Too scary, simply too scary!!
They nodded to each other, Valerie came forward to speak.
"The weather is so good ain't it?"
Alizejh gave her a deadpan expression, she was bad at changing the topic. They were in a cave! How could there be weather inside it?
"I think my brother was right in calling you delusional."
Valerie's expression crumbled, seemingly rethinking her life decisions.
Seeing that Valerie was lifeless, she turned to the others and asked.
"Y'all coming?"
Shi, Phillip, the two gays shook their heads.
"I think we have had enough, we can't handle more of this. We would have succumbed to the bats if not for your weird flames."
Holy Pure Flames was a special kind of flame that only female angels would have and even in female angels, it was extremely hard to find.
The flames had the properties of cleansing. Using the flames one can heal a person or even kill or burn a person.
It was on the same level as the 'Wretched' and the 'Arctic' flames. It ranked sixth in the universal flame rankings with Arctic Flames(Rael) at rank 3 and Wretched Flames(Hecate) at rank 2.
Alizejh had a weird expression on her visage, she knew that her teammates were just faking it and were simply scared of future endeavors however she didn't mind it.
In her eyes, they were all extra baggage and a burden to take care of.
"Alright, then I will keep on moving ahead, wish me luck."
