Chapter 468 Lilith
🕑 Added 2020-04-19 11:25:29 +0000 UTCAuthor's note: Upon seeing the end of the last chapter, I thought I'd post Tuesday's chapter today as well. I don't want to be too cruel.
I sadly don't have the backlog/time to make it a double release so there won't be anything on Tuesday. Hopefully Thursday again. Let me know what you think!

Chapter 468 Lilith
Rowan knew he was losing control. Prepare to fight, take her down as fast as possible.
Everyone who flees will be executed! he shouted, looking back. His eye twitched when he saw some of his soldiers were already turning away, more were stepping back, unsure of what to do.
Just because she can shout and kill one man! Undisciplined imbeciles!
STAND YOUR GROUND! he roared and prepared his two steel whips, imbuing them with power.
I dont give a fuck about her ultimatum. Take her down now! he said to the team in front of him, even some of them showing uncertainty.
Come, I dont mind, the Shadow said, crouching as she held up one finger. One minute, flee and live. Or die at the hands of Lilith. Her voice wasnt particularly loud but it traveled far, like the whisper of a demon.
Rowan watched as his elites used their skills and shot forward, some teleporting right next to her while others sent their spells forward.
His eyes opened wide when the Shadow started moving, her limbs rushing around as she twirled. Three men were impaled, her fist punching in the chest of another. A loud crunch resounded as his chest plate bent inwards, his ribs broken and his insides squashed to pulp.
The three impaled men were flung at the mages, one of them unable to dodge the body. Marbles of ash zipped around, two finding their targets as heads exploded in a mist of red.
Four warriors slashed their weapons at her only to find thin air as she weaved through their attacks, her limbs impaling two of them as one of her wings slapped away the third.
The last warrior dodged two of her punches only to get a knee in his crotch. She followed up with an elbow to his face, the force ripping off his head with a part of his spine still attached.
Lilith vanished and appeared over the downed mage, his cries finding no mercy as he was silenced with a sharp limb of ash through his skull.
Time is up, the woman said as motion erupted all over.
Arrows were loosed, men and women shouted, spells impacted close to her but compared to before, none of them found their target.
Soldiers screamed and turned, some vanished and others went to their knees, overwhelmed by terror.
Rowan looked around at a loss. Stand your ground! he shouted, his voice lost in the explosions of ice and fire around them, the screams of men and women.
He turned and found two blue eyes staring at his own.
Yo- he started when a hand lashed out, slapping his cheek with enough force to nearly break his neck. He was lifted off the ground and landed hard on the ground a few meters away, disoriented and bleeding.
Stand- he started as he stumbled back to his feet, his voice stuck in his throat when he saw the ashen tendrils mow through his men as if they were bugs. Heads were pierced, corpses and living bodies were thrown around to all sides.
Spears and marbles of ash slammed through armor as if it was made of wet paper. Hundreds were fleeing.
Rowan saw soldiers trained and prepared for this day on their knees, praying to their gods as the creature of ash slaughtered their brothers and sisters in arms.
A monster , he spoke, shielding himself from a fiery explosion to his right. Nothing stopped her. Shields and swords were broken through, spears snapped with their blades breaking against her armor. Arrows rushed past or had no impact. Spells hit allies or trees, the monster teleporting and shredding through their ranks like an unchained beast left to hunger for weeks.
What have what have I done who is she?
How could I have known?
He stumbled forward, his eyes still focused on the woman, only able to follow her due to the limbs of ash and the path of carnage she left behind.
Rowan watched as a mist of ash covered twenty men in formation, their screams drowned out until they fell a few seconds later, lifeless and covered in ash.
Lord Harken! We must retreat! an officer said, half of his right arm missing.
Retreat? How one Shadow. Is she even human? He asked himself as he followed wordlessly, running into the forest with his ally, fleeing along hundreds as screams resounded and died.
He had lost control. Discipline and trust ripped from his hand by sheer force of nature. Whatever he was facing, it wasnt human. A creature of darkness.
Was it punishment? For forsaking his king and country? The Order of Truth?
He could feel his steps hasten, his eyes focused forward as he ran. He was the commander, Lord Harken. He was supposed to stand, to face the enemy and lead his army to victory. All his instincts told him to run, his rational mind overwhelmed by what he had seen.
Adventurers told stories of creatures powerful enough to slay whole towns, to break through walls and slaughter hundreds if not thousands. He had thought it hubris. Overblown stories by men and women who thought themselves heroes, trying to impress their lowly peers.
He believed it now. The thing could speak too. Lilith. Lilith, he repeated in his mind.
A sudden burst of magic came from the left and he teleported, his whips at his side as he felt a strong pressure on his mind.
The officer who had ran by his side collapsed, foaming from his mouth as he died.
You are the commander? Are you not? a voice resounded in his mind, something that was not human.
Show yourself beast! Lilith! Come and finish it! Show me your power! he said, finding courage in the mindless slaughter of his comrades.
A creature clad in black rags hovered out into the open, abyss like holes instead of eyes in his skull as a large mouth opened, sharp lines of teeth glinting in the sunlight breaking through the trees.
Rowan took a step back, at a loss for words.
[Mind Weaver lvl 219]
Mistress Lilith is looking for you. But I found you first, the creature said without moving its mouth.
What are you doing here? Demon creature! Rowan shouted, his weapons at the ready as he watched the dangerous being.
I live close by. And then I felt this power and now this feast. She wastes so much flesh. A shame really! So here I am, collecting the scraps, the being said as it lifted a clawed hand.
A powerful surge of magic slammed into his mind, Rowan finding no other way but to teleport away as far as he could. His Resistance was strong but not enough to counter whatever that being was.
He turned back and watched as it lifted the officers corpse, biting down on his neck.
Run, human, run until you collapse, he heard the voice, the being somehow still reaching him.
Rowan kept running. She commands demons too. Mind demons I have to warn the kingdom, maybe the high king will forgive me, maybe they will be able to help.
No, we have to avoid this place. She offered us to flee and I laughed at her. Foolish! How stupid can I be.
He ran for twenty minutes, the shouts and screams lessening over time. Soon he found himself entirely alone, running still as fast as his legs would carry him. He saved up his teleport skill in case the enemy showed up.
Rowan felt his heart thrumming in his chest, his breath the only thing he heard in the thick forest. Did I cross into Nipha already?
He had to regroup, find the survivors, return to Wynehold and think about what to do.
A whistling sound came from above, Rowan jumping to the side, crouching between two trees for cover. Something heavy impacted the ground, roots groaning.
There you are, the voice said.
No
No, no
Rowan stepped back and stumbled, catching himself thanks to the high dexterity he had.
Before him stood Lilith, clad in her dark ashen armor, her eyes cold as ice.
The two trees snapped when an ashen limb flashed through, four more pushing the heavy wood to the side as if to make space for the queen of death herself.
He closed his eyes and sighed. Do it then, finish it, he said, resigning himself. I only ask you to keep your word. Dont kill those who fled.
The woman seemed surprised. I dont plan on breaking my word. Nor do I plan on killing you. Not right now at least.
You want to torture me and feed me to your demon friend? he asked. He could try to attack, could try to get a hit in but he had seen what his strongest warriors accomplished. There was no way he could succeed.
Weavy came to join? That damn demon, Lilith said and shook her head. No, I dont particularly like torture. We will free the slaves and you might be able to return to your city. With some changes to your local policies. You didnt seem as stupid as some other nobles Ive met and Im happy to see you actually care about your soldiers. If only the same was true for your slaves, she said and spit on the ground.
Our slaves are well fed and taken care of! Dont you dare talk down on Wynehold like we are some sort of savages, he said and threw down his weapons.
Slavery in itself is savagery. Every human has a right to their own freedom. One of the things that will have to change if you want to keep your city and people. Im sure losing you would cause more harm to them than the sudden freedom of your slaves. Think about it. Youll have plenty of time, Lilith said as a few ashen limbs moved around his body.
Her wings moved, casting long shadows before she ascended. Rowan was dragged behind, hitting his shoulder on a branch.
He closed his eyes and calmed himself down. He was still Lord of Wynehold and his duty has yet to end. Rowan ground his teeth. Defeated by a savage and someone who thought slaves were worth the same as nobles.
__________________________________
Bring them over here! Dale shouted towards a group of guards. Dozens of soldiers wandered aimlessly before their captors, dejected and entirely defeated.
Where are the water mages, get the fuck over here, we cant have half the forest burning down! he shouted once again, pointing at a few uncertain mages walking amongst the carnage. MOVE MOVE MOVE!
They did move, focusing on the trees instead of the mince meat.
Half of that would have been enough, Dale thought as he looked around. He wasnt sure if it would have been. The officers were defiant until the last one of them was ripped apart by her.
He was just glad a large part of the army had actually fled. He knew Ilea would keep her word and let them go. The same wasnt true for their hunters or other people who would try to gain something out of this.
Earth mages, holes and fill them with wood. I want this carnage cleaned up until this evening! he said and walked briskly back to the wall. All the blood and the corpses would attract a large amount of monsters. The fight wasnt over quite yet.
He just hoped nothing as powerful as Ilea showed up. Hopefully they just come to eat and ignore the city.
Dale had seen a lot in his life but the scene on the field before Riverwatch topped everything. Not quite everything. Seeing it happen certainly topped it.
He still wasnt entirely sure he wasnt dreaming.
Ilea had briefly showed up half an hour ago to put back the mark he had used up.
A few earth mages had extended a section of the wall to allow Alistair a base of command. Officers came and went.
Rescue operations to get out people from collapsed or burnt buildings were already under way.
Dale I , Alistair said as he looked at him.
Its alright. Take your time. It took me years to accept her existence, he said with a wry smile. A few more years and she will do this without even moving. Ah stop it, theres no sense in trying to understand that womans power.
Where is she now? Alistair asked.
She said she wanted to get the Lord. For negotiations, Dale said.
What negotiations? The battle is over she slaughtered them. I have met Shadows, Dale, but this , he just shook his head.
She is a special kind of person. You can ask her yourself once shes back. Ill take care of my share of the cleanup. You take care of governing the city, Dale said.
Dale it was you, wasnt it? Alistair said and nodded to his hand.
Maybe. Maybe she was just in the area, he replied and winked.
This event will ripple through the lands. Added to the history books of Riverwatch, Alistair said.
She already has songs about her. Lilith, the healer of Ravenhall. We just added another verse, Dale mused.
Alistair moved closer and whispered, A demon was sighted in the forest. Can you inform Walter that that creature shouldnt be so obvious?
Ill send a letter, Dale said, this issue barely making his list of current priorities. Anything else?
No no, Ill leave it to you. Thank you. Dale. Really, Alistair said.
Dont need to thank me. I just called her here, he thought with a smile and walked down the stairs. His joyous mood quickly turned solemn when he returned to the field of death. Work to do. We survived another day.
_____________________________
Ilea saw something move in the forest and shot down, taking the Lord with her until she landed next to Weavy. The momentum accidentally smacked the commander of the enemy army into the ground, dirt filling his mouth and nose. An accident. Definitely.
Weavy, you need to get the fuck out of here. The guards will fight you!
Mistress! What a beautiful display! Truly magnanimous! Thank you, he said in a joyous tone, taking a massive bite out of the corpse in his hands.
I must say however, your tendency to waste food is worrying, especially because you say of yourself to be a lover of food, Weavy said and shook his head, blood dripping to each side.
Weavy, we humans dont eat other humans. We bury them to send them off to the afterlife, she said.
Ah yes I forgot. A foolish thought. There is only the endless void. It isnt easy to let them do so I saw some of them burning them! Just burning them!
Ilea felt his distress about the situation and patted his back. Its alright. Come on, I dont think its good for your mind to stay here. Go to the western forest and hunt an animal or two.
He nodded slowly. I shall yes, I shall do that. Thank you. Humanity really is disappointing such a waste, he said and murmured the same phrase a few times as he hovered away.
Ilea kept an eye on the demon for a few minutes, watching him move away from the battlefield and the forest east of Riverwatch.
Such a progressive demon, worrying about foodwaste in the middle ages.
The Lord coughed and took a deep breath. Why!? he shouted. You said you disliked torture!
Eating dirt isnt torture. Now shut up before I change my mind, Ilea said.
You wont. I know people like you. How did you reach such power? Did you make a deal with that demon? Or are you the elite of an order? The order of Balance perhaps? the man asked.
You certainly got back your spirit, Ilea said, ignoring his questions as she sped up and rushed to Riverwatch.
Now I have to participate in fucking politics again, she thought, annoyed as she flew over the carnage left behind by her demonstration.
The lives she took weighed on her but mainly, she was glad Dale and Riverwatch were safe again. She would have killed every single one of their soldiers if it had been necessary to achieve that end.
Soldiers and guards alike took a few steps back or recoiled at the sight of her when she joined Alistair on the wall.
Lord Harken, she introduced and threw the man down.
He slowly stood up and brushed off his armor.
Lilith, Alistair said and bowed.
Oh no, not him too, she thought and glanced at Dale working on the field.
He glanced up to her and waved, as if he saw a friend on a Sunday afternoon stroll.
She waved back.
Ill help with the cleanup. Can you draft something up? Id think it reasonable for him to stay in charge back in his city. No slavery anymore or any other vile shit, she said.
We are not born equal, the lord whispered with an angry expression.
Youre right, some of us are huge fucking shits, Ilea said.
Im sure I can work something out as well as the surrender of the Baralia forces and the conditions about the takeover of all present slaves, Alistair said.
The prisoners? Lord Harken asked, respectful in tone.
They will be returned to your command as soon as you signed the respective contracts, Alistair said. Is that agreeable? he asked and looked to Ilea.
She nodded and blinked to the field, helping to rid corpses of their gear before putting them into the pits. She had some qualms about just burning them but then again, she was the one to kill them in the first place. Compared to the demons, they at least carefully put the corpses away, removing identification and gear.
The blood would attract monsters.
Hey, she said to Dale as she walked past carrying sixteen bodies.
Thank you, the man said.
Its no matter, I produced them so I should help with the cleanup.
No, I mean thank you, for coming when I called, Dale said, a genuine smile on his face. You can leave it to us by the way. My guards prepared for war and now they only have a cleanup.
Ill stay for a night. Just in case monsters or soldiers come back, she said.
The man nodded. Care to join us for dinner? I would have had today off.
Sure, after were done here, Ilea said.

Well, that was quite something...
Ghornet
Just. Damn.
BeepBoop
F5 squad unite!
Jonathan
Definitely thought the Weavy section was a nice touch. Gave a bit of quirky levity to a pretty brutal situation. That being said we didn't actually get a rough estimate of how many she killed, could probably add it in passing that "she didn't want to reflect on the likely hundreds she had killed" and tried to keep herself distracted.
It is eye opening to see her butcher through an army of "regular" soldiers. Also, at this point I would be surprised if she didnt get some kind of defensive skill for multiple people attacking her at once. I mean, she took an army on for a couple minutes just standing there. She has frequently trained resistances by having multiple people attack her at once. Seems like there would be some kind of general skill for that kind of punishment. Idk
It is, but Thursday is much closer.
Boutross
That rank is "elder" I think, Ilea may be the first to reach 300 without being an elder
Matt M
I feel like there should be a separate rank for shadows that hit level 300, maybe "High Shadows" to distinguish strength? Probably only Ilea and the elders would qualify at the present though.
LA
Ilea don't do politics...
Zachary Smith
The aftermath conversation is even more enticing!
Sean Ulrich
Just started re-reading from the beginning again. Might last me til Thursday...
Rip Woodham
Where were the Vowed during this? What about the other warrior slaves? Did Ilea kill indiscriminately? Would have liked more details, but great chapter nonetheless. Her legend will spread like wildfire and I can't wait.
Probably he is, since illea got a message that he is excited to see her again!
sharkattack
Lawful Evil
Johannes Sauer
Yea what are the go do though. Heal her? The probably have barely any reistances. My guess is army encomapssing heals, a blink, flying and attacks that let them deal with 280s. Her azarinth class is a full fighting class that sacrifices one skill to get the best selfhealing. In a way it is like she already has 3 classes.
Johannes Sauer
Hope white flame dragon elf is 300+ and she gets a rematch before she gets to 350. He is the only who possible has a better class for her. My impression was that je will be stronger at similar levels, while Ilea's class is way better at leveling. So i think Ilea's combination is probably better for now
Arcanes
Maybe it will happen eventually. But I think they will have to get to Ravenhall on their own. Ilea is not a bus. Super taxi for friends she might agree with being.
Scott
I can see the vowed using their new found freedom to dedicate themselves to protecting Ilea's new sentinels. They, and many of the slaves, will not know what to even do with freedom and may be lost with it. Serving the sentinels would be a logical choice. Even if they have to be ordered to take days off and to spend their pay.
Albedo's Ahoge
Lol
Albedo's Ahoge
Yep, I agree. Definitely the right choice to make. This would also result in the peaceful freeing up of the current slaves.
Venalitor
It's fine. If she gets them used to her while they're young they won't be awed or scared when they grow up.
Venalitor
"You can just stand there and let them hit you and nothing happens" - You mean that thing she literally pays people for?
Venalitor
Kiddy pool indeed. Is Harken really smarter than other nobles Ilea has faced though? He seemed just as arrogant and greedy. Was it really that he wasn't entirely dismissive of his subordinates welfare? Have we seen other nobles explicitly acting otherwise?
5, 2 others have been mentioned in the past, and we don't really know if this 2 are healing ones
Ryan Frank
I want a POV from sophie? The girl from the group she traumatized recently. When she finds out about this.
Nate
Welp, that was fun. Now for the boring politics and the spoils of war! :D
Nate
A high level assassin could definitely kill some of her lower level friends but I'd like to think anyone who knows her well enough to have that sort of beef with her would realize what a poor idea that is...
Nate
Baralia presumably has many noble families with equivalent armies but with Ilea that's probably just another twenty minutes per army at this point...
Nate
Right? Third class when! But what's happening in the meantime is fun too. :P
foldedcorners
I like the reasoning behind leaving Rowan alive. Her understanding that killing him would cause an even greater loss of life shows some character progression, as I feel 200 chapters ago she would have killed first and asked questions never
Chase Clawson
Woo! Excellent pair of chapters! Glad she made the long term smart decision, even if it sucks :( unless you plan to establish a government yourself, killing the old one and just leaving the populace is a Bad Idea™ Also, Dale once again being the best dude. I could see Ilea getting a little depressed about the gap between her and the normal people around her after this, Dale offering her to eat dinner at his place will really help with that. A true friend
PatronTurtle
The king is fighting Lys. He's just lost one of his biggest cities and looks weaker now to his other enemies. The King is not a threat at this point. The Order of Balance maybe, since they will likely survive this war.
fbt
yeah, her bad habit of leaving enemies alive behind her has stepped up a few notches. Still, she's trying to be good and doesn't really feel threatened at all (she should; the right assassin could still ruin her day completely). And posting it was the right move; stopping at end of 467 would have led to angry mobs with torches and the whole song-and-dance :) Ty! :) I like the way her interactions with Dale are being used to illustrate her character; definite refinements in technique (as you'd expect over a bazillion words written!) :). Great story!
Sebastian Prue
I much prefer two today and none Tuesday! This was fantastic and absolutely everything I wanted it to be. I can't wait to see what harken does when he comes back to reality. Cheers and thanks for the chapter! See you on Thursday
Frederic Vincent
LOVED IT!! Thanks for the chapters!
Straven
This is one little story about lilith that is going to scare more then a few! Loving it. Thank you for the chapters.
Michael scott
I just realized how Ilea sees fighting other humans. It's like your playing a game and after you beet it and reach the level cap. Then when your bored from having to stay home so you start playing it again. Well your level 80 and your start off doing level 1 quests. You just walk around killing shit. No level progression, no challenge. It's so boring. You can just stand there and let them hit you and nothing happens.
Andrei
Waaaaa, Amazing! Was waiting for this chapter(s)! 😁
just_a_potato
'ding' 'You have learned the General skill: Army of One Army of One - lvl 1 You have stood before a myriad of hostile forces alone and unaided, yet were still victorious. No longer will an army weaker than you alone stand before you without fear. Should you wish it armies weaker than you alone will flee immediately in fear, those that remain will cower and the ones that resist, well you've shown what happens when you try to fight a monster.
Chopper
So Harken goes back to his King and tattles about the big scary lady. Boy she sure does know how to make enemies, i'm losing count of the number of targets on Ileas back. Should be an interesting year for her. :D
Michael scott
Thanks for the fantastic chapters. I don't think she will gain a full level in this fight, but since we don't actually know how close she was to leveling up it's possible. She will definitely level up monster Hunter. Using it on a full army several times it has to be several levels. Man, just think of all the resistance levels she gained. I think she will receive a unique skill, or achievement. Like the one she got for trianing ( torture) her minions. Something like terror of armies.
lenkite
That wasn't Battle...it was BUTCHERY! There is no way the Elders of the Healing Orders will not hear about this. Aren't they [Level 300] also ?
ShadeByTheSea
I hope I never come across that book, and if I do I don't read it.
Michael C
Hehe...cum
ShadeByTheSea
I wonder if that army had enough xp for her to level twice... I somewhat doubt it.
Michael C
I cant wait. Hopefully he has been saving money so he can write full time
Chad Hagner
So good! Now we know Ilea power scale versus a nations! It's going to be interesting to see how the people treat her now as well.
Harthane said he had 3 months of civic duty back at the beginning of February right? Fingers crossed that we'll be back up to 6 chapters a week in less than a month.
LA
Awesome release! Liked how you introduced two more orders to the mix. Now there are 3 Orders to spice up the healer game.
Seb
G Harthane is truely an amazingly nice author
Acquiles Vitorino de Melo Graça
It was dispersing ash into mana on the air, so not that useful until they burn every body
Ivactheseeker
All hail G.Hartane, The Azarinth Scribe, and harbinger of double chapters!
Cerdaemon
Well I hope they check the slaves. Because as much as I agree with Ilea's slavery is bad idea in almost all cases, there is this one story that always comes back. In a book that I read a good while ago there was also a group of characters who fought a nation of slavers and after a battle freed and housed the slaves in their own city. However after they moved on those freed slaves basically murdered half the city in their sleep. Because the heroes in the story did not check up on what kind of slaves they were, they did not know that the nation they were fighting was basically buying up the criminals of other countries to use for cheap labor, also screwed up but yeah they basically freed a bunch of murderers and bandits and put them in the middle of aunsuspecting city. Good intentions bad consequences. That is also while I agree with Ilea on principle. It is always good to check the background info, you might oversee something. Things like the vowed and just capturing people as war slaves is of course completely not okay.
Tommy Littlefield
Get strong enough to be more the cannon fodder 🤷🏻♂️
Joshua Donahue
Wow, these were some great chapters. Glad to see Ilea making the smart call of allowing the noble to live.
Tribal2199
Thanks for the double release! Also, didn't she have an ability to turn corpses to ash/magic or something? Why not use it here?.
Tommy Littlefield
Yeah also wouldn’t be surprised if this gave her quite a few levels in the ‘deviant of humanity’ skill since she literally just defied and redefined what a bunch of people thought was possible haha
Tommy Littlefield
Only like a month and a half of this left he finishes his civil stuff end of May I think
Tommy Littlefield
Amazing thanks
Eyes wide
Well worth the wait I ain't even sad about Tuesday. It was awesome cant wait for the movie😀
just_a_potato
Lilith in this chapter reminded me of this particular line from A Practical Guide to Evil: “I am the King of Death,” the last king of Sephirah said. “I come.”
Boutross
Remember when two chapters every release day was standard ? I can't wait for that time to come back
Tsaimath
"I have an army!" "Well, we have a Lillith"
Morzul
This was awesome! Thanks for the double chapter
Tuesday will be a dark dark day :(
Cadastral
"I want this carnage cleaned up until this evening!" --> should probably be "by this evening". Thanks for the double chapter, sad to hear there won't be one on Tuesday, though 😕
Thank you very much for the early release :). A pleasure to read as always.
tibbish
Well the noble was over 200 though probably not by much. And yea it seemed the majority of the army was below 200 with probably only the officers and a few other elite groups at or above 200 hence why she was able to smear much of the army into paste singlehandedly.
Osprey36
Great couple of chapters, a little disappointing that we won't get a Tuesday release, but the quality of your writing more than makes up for it in my opinion. I think destroying and army will be a great achievement both for her main classes as well as her upcoming third class
Sean Ulrich
So skill dump next chapter? She did just use monster hunter on an army. I doubt there would be any level ups because the noble was 180, everyone else was probably lower.
Alan McBrayer
I get what you mean, but sparring him bothers me less when I see how the only thing he asks of Ilea is she honors her promise not to kill those who flee. Aldo how he planned the siege in a way that minimized loss of life and was even willing to forgive the death of his son to prevent unnecessarily bloodshed. It shows that in his own warped way he cares for both his soldiers and his slaves. Either way it is good that Ilea is smart enough to understand that killing the leadership of the city would only lead to it falling into chaos and/or being conquered by a worse tyrant.
Alan McBrayer
Yeah I could see the leader of the kingdom either bring 300+ and/or commanding a group of 300s. But the lord of a single city/province? Unlikely. If they were as strong as a king then they would be a king not serve as vassals of one.
MountainFox
Well. Pretty shocked speechless at the double chapter. They were so good!
ArturScott
<i>violence joy</i>

G.Harthane: slayer of the Dreaded Cliffhangers
Lomie0
Naah it seemed like their elites were only in the low POSSIBLY mid 200s and I'd be surprised if she even got 1 lvl from that. probably a couple skill lvls in random things tho.
Maaan thanks a lot for both chapters! You are awesome, and seeing that illea could just casually stop a full army by herself it's amazing sight! And for all of those who were saying that it should have 300+ in the war band, think this, if the commander isn't 300+ how can he force a 300+ to take action, think of illea with maro!
Jack Trowell
thanks for the chapters
Thanks for the chapters. Think we're in for a surprise with her third class after this huge slaughtering
Thanks for the awesome chapters :)
Numan
Thank you very much for the double release jejejejeje, Today its a great day !!!
I want this carnage cleaned up until this evening -> I want this carnage cleaned up by this evening
VerethragnaD
Honestly loved the chapters. Seeing Ilea tear those idiots that think themselves bigger than life a new one is just so immensely satisfying. I got a new level of goosebumps during this. I thank you for writing this story, it gives me just one more reason to like life.
Nodlehs
Nice! Thanks for the no cliff 😁
Blaublue
Thanks for the 2 chapters and not leaving us hanging It makes sense to spare Harken for the, hopefully, good of the slaves in his territory, leaves a bad taste though that that's how war often works: The soldiers who fought against her were killed, but the commander will survive
Baba Vader
Thanks for the chapters!
Harthane is the best <3
Blaublue
Different strong, likely. Ilea is very well geared towards fighting those 100+ levels below her own however (and above), since her high defense means they can't even outdmg her healing, and her dmg is still high-enough to one-shot. Likely humans in those orders with same or higher level and higher purely destructive power
Connor Bruha
I cannot describe the sheer joy that I felt when you posted two chapters. This dopamine rush will carry me through the next few days. The satisfaction of seeing the army decimated was the cherry on top.
PloofDoodle
You beautiful beautiful author you, that was simply magnificent!
Hawkan Hawks
Glorious!
Gardor
It always annoys me when the leader gets to live after essentially dooming his followers to be killed. I understand the rationale it just annoys me.
Boutross
Magnificent
Ryan Frank
Glorious. That was so dammed satisfying. Thanks for not making us wait!
Wancek
Great chapter. Nice to see the power disparity. Wonder if the Orders of Truth/Balance do have people as strong as her.
Valter Anunciação
So good.
