Red Mist landed gracefully on the ground, her expression still retaining that faint smile. The surrounding area was engulfed in the relentless blaze. Jaymi and Lou Yi had been reduced to kneeling forms, their bodies marked with burn injuries, realizing the futility of challenging Red Mist as a team.

Observing them with a condescending look, Red Mist addressed Jaymi, "Against Boulder Jack, your chances would have been much better." She then shifted her gaze to Lou Yi, "But for you, the odds wouldn't be so favorable due to your over-reliance on your three elemental affinities. Boulder Jack has a spell that effectively suppresses elemental energy, making him a challenging opponent. Given what you've displayed, I'd say you have a seventy percent chance of defeating him."

With a casual shrug of her shoulders, Red Mist continued, "But don't worry. You won't have to face him because Blood Lightning Monster has already taken care of him."

"W-What are you talking about?" Jaymi stammered, her voice strained.

"I'm just clarifying some things," Red Mist responded. She glanced at the two, who were on the brink of collapse, and said, "Now, can you tell me about your background? If necessary, I don't want to kill either of you."

She turned her head and pointed her finger at the fire spirit, Fiamma. "My partner here is a good spirit. She doesn't want to witness any more deaths."

"Hmph! What are you saying? I'm not a kid!" Fiamma snorted, turning her head to the side, still indignant but perhaps slightly less so.

"Fine, fine," Red Mist sighed, taking into account Fiamma's protest. She turned back to Jaymi and Lou Yi. "So, what's your decision?"

Lou Yi grinned as she locked eyes with Red Mist. "You're ignorant. You don't know anything, and even your god, Gluttony, was in the dark."

"My god? No, no, no, I didn't worship anyone. I joined the Deadly Sins for protection and because it's convenient to work under their banner," Red Mist explained. "It's the same for most of us. Only those within the Order of Sins are true devotees, like Ice Death. I joined to survive the onslaught of the major factions."

She slowly walked towards the two. Suddenly, she paused and turned her head to the side.

Bang!

A figure burst out of the ground.

"Oh," Red Mist raised her eyebrows with interest in her eyes. "They really did have a comrade..."

"Eldian?!" Jaymi and Lou Yi exclaimed upon seeing the person who arrived.

The man who was named Eldian glanced at his two comrades before he turned his attention to Red Mist. He raised his hand, and a crimson-colored sphere floated above his palm.

"This is what you want, right? Take it," Eldian said.

Red Mist didn't say anything. Instead, she kept her eyes on the man. She could feel a sense of danger emanating from this unknown man, suggesting that he might be able to force her to use everything she had or even potentially defeat her.

"If you're not going to take it, then I'll destroy it," Eldian said before he threw the sphere in the air. Then, he fired a small energy ball towards it.

Swoosh!

Red Mist moved instantly. She quickly appeared in front of the crimson-colored sphere and slapped the energy ball away. Then, she took the crimson sphere and landed on the ground.

She looked around and found that the three had already vanished.

"Oh, he tricked me..."

Red Mist mused. She glanced in a certain direction. She could still feel their energy fluctuations, indicating they hadn't gone too far. She could still catch up if she moved now.
