While Shaman was breaking out Elysia found a way to relieve her stress.
Wolfy was on a small rock by one of the troll caves having a nap while Elysia was keeping herself occupied.
Currently Elysia was causing a massive fire out of the dungeon while screaming.
"FUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK." Elysia shot another massive explosive arrow in the middle of the orc forest causing her to get a few notifications with her system.
Due to them going straight to the troll area the monsters were still alive so Elysia was able to finally push to level 50 and get tier 2 fire without even realizing it as she was killing hordes of monsters with her arrows.
Elysia continued this but finally stopped as she was getting low on mana and could feel she was getting tired.
Elysia let out a sigh and walked to Wolfy who was chilling on the rock to join him in waiting for Shaman to escape.
not even a minute had passed when another message came through from Shaman.
[Elysia please come home. I am safe but I need you right now]
Elysia panicked a little as it sounded like something was wrong.
"I swear to fucking god if they did something to her!" Elysia screamed out while picking up Wolfy. Elysia starts to dash out of the dungeon going past the fiery mess she has made.

Shaman still had [Shadow cloak] on and was constantly running towards her house trying her best to get back but since they lived at the opposite end from where the city lord lived it would take her a couple minutes of rooftop running at max speed to get there.
Shaman looked at her mana pool as she had used a couple skills and was unsure if her mana would last.
[MP: 750/2100]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Shit I don't know if [Shadow cloak] will last.' Although Shaman felt she was now safe she did not want to take any chances and wanted to ensure it was safe before she deactivated [shadow cloak] since she did just kill the city lord.
'Speaking of the city lord he was tier 4 as well.' Shaman did not notice at the time but she got 2 levels from the city lord making her level 49.
'Just one more level which I should get from the dungeon boss but I need to get back home before I start thinking about killing the boss.' Shaman was lost in thought as she could now relax since she was far enough away from the castle.
Shaman continued to run for another few minutes but was getting more sluggish.
[MP 400/2100]
'I am almost there, I need to send Elysia a message.' Shaman could see the apartment in the distance but knew when she arrived she would pass out if her mana reached 0 so she wanted to message Elysia before that happened.
'Alright now that Elysia knows I will be home I can truly relax now.' Shaman had a smile but the fatigue was getting worse and worse.
Shaman finally arrived back home as her mana ticked down to zero, She stumbled her way in but collapsed as the door behind her shut.
*
Elysia had rushed out of the dungeon and was running as fast as she could back to their apartment with Wolfy in her arms.
'Please be okay.' Elysia's mind was going wild as her wild imagination made her think of the worst case scenario and she believed it.
Elysia was also too tunnel visioned about Shaman, her anger towards humans was forgotten and just wanted to be by Shaman's side.
After rushing through the streets not caring if she bumped into anybody she finally arrived back home and continued to rush up the stairs.
Elysia slammed the door open but when she did she could see a passed out Shaman on the floor.
"SHAMAN!" Elysia quickly rushed to her side dropping Wolfy and picked her up, tears also started to form as she thought Shaman was hurt. But after looking at her she realized she was peacefully sleeping and let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank god you are okay." Elysia started to cry while tightly hugging Shaman.
After hugging Shaman for 5 minutes She picked her up and went to bathe to give Shaman a wash.
"We will get rid of all the germs from those bastard humans." Elysia started to undress herself and Shaman.

After cleaning Shaman, Elysia had put Shaman to bed and started to cook for herself and Wolfy as she was starting to get hungry. She also took this opportunity to look at her own system.
'Holy shit, I am level 50 now.' Elysia was shocked to see that her rampage made her able to level up and felt a little embarrassed since she felt like a different person when going on that rampage.
'It also looks like I can evolve to tier 4 now.' Elysia was also getting excited as they were now a step closer to tier 10 and getting stronger has always been a life goal for Elysia since her family died.
"We also have the cores for the next tier as well since we hunted so many tier 4s and leaders during our runs we now have enough to evolve right away.' Elysia checked the requirements and was the same as usual.
[tier 4]
[tier 4 cores 24/10]
[tier 4 leaders 13/5]
[Do you wish to evolve]
[Yes/No]
Elysia wanted to wait for Shaman so she closed the window.
After eating her food and feeding Wolfy Elysia wanted to fall over and sleep as she was exhausted from today's events which was all too stressful for her. She got in more comfortable clothes and snuggled next to Shaman to sleep with a content smile and the feeling of worry that plagued her had disappeared.
But while the 2 girls were sleeping an uproar was going on in the city.
***
"THE CITY LORD IS DEAD!" Guards were shouting and freaking out as it was huge news for the entire city.
Zak, who had finally recovered from the attack, was making his way through the guards that were rushing around the place. After walking for a while Zak had approached a rather old looking muscular man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I heard you got attacked by Zak by that shadowy figure you reported the other day." The old man had a serious tone with a hint of lightheartedness.
"Yes I did sir but once they paralyzed my movement they left me which I am thankful for but this also gave us a clue." Zak knew that the figure killed the city lord but was not mindless so he could only assume it was targeting the lord for a reason.
To them the city lord was a 'good guy' and had a great public image but for him to die to an assassin they now had a bit of doubt fill their minds.
Since the city lord was gone the commander of all the guards was temporarily in charge of the city and could lead his own investigation to see if the city lord was doing anything suspicious.
"Yes this is true and there always seemed to be a distance between us and him so maybe he was hiding something that is a lot worse." The old man was rubbing his chin as the city lord always kept his distance from anyone and so it was enough to make him think something was up.
"Despite having a good reputation it seems as though we need to lead an investigation just to make sure." Zak proposed the idea as he was never a fan of the city lord and was somewhat glad he was gone but he knew to never voice his opinion Infront of the old man.
"Your right, after we clean up here and figure out how to deliver the news, we will see if we can find any clues if the city lord was delving into anything illegal." The old man made a decision and Zak saluted.
"Yes commander."

Underneath the city castle a group of people were freaking out and rushing around trying to destroy evidence.
"Shit, Shit why did he have to get himself killed." A hooded man spoke and was biting his nails out of nervousness.
"It is because he thought that dumb bitch of a fox could do nothing just based on her tail and even had the audacity to put her in his personal cell but he did not listen to our report and thought there was no way she was strong." Sam who knew exactly what happened could do nothing but wait in terror as the fox girl was extremally strong and could do nothing to stop the city lord.
"How are we going to get rid of the bodies we collected?" Since they had been down there for over 6 months there were many incriminating pieces of evidence in the underground room.
"We can't burn it since the smell will lead them here and we would have to leave straight away before they arrive." Due the location being under the castle it could attract the guards which were probably right above them.
"We could try teleporting with the few talismans we have." Ada, who was also there, threw the idea out there but was instantly shot down.
"No you idiot they are one way teleports back here, so how are we going to get rid of bodies that way." Sam had retorted as what Ada said was stupid. Ada felt ashamed and kept quiet for the rest of the conversation.
"Well they won't find us straight away so lets wait till nightfall and never return here." Sam finally came to a decision.
"What about the evidence?" Ava was curious as the evidence in the room could lead back to them.
"We burn it just before we leave and use it as a distraction for our escape." Sam spoke of his plan and everyone nodded in agreement as it was their only chance of escaping.
Nightfall had come and so they put their plan into action.
