Will of chaos

When I met with the others, I realized that the battle had been quicker and easier than I initially expected.

With some time talking to others it was easy to understand why.

One of the main reasons was that most of these Lower Catastrophe Grade monsters originated from the Monster Wave of a few days ago, that is to say, they were part of these very aggressive and stupid monsters.

Thanks to that they used their great power directly and couldn’t fight in a way to use their powers as effectively as possible, they also didn’t have any combat experience, and because of that, it was easy to fight them.

In addition, the explosion injured many of them, which made it easier for the others to fight.

There were also many cases of others attacking the monsters while they were still in the air after being thrown by the magic blast which didn’t even leave these monsters a fighting chance.

While I was talking I was also spreading my Aura to have a better understanding of the surroundings, it seems that everyone has already finished their fights and all the Lower Catastrophe Grade monsters are dead.

I will collect everyone and those who are in the worst condition are Roman who is Sophia’s father, Lilith, and érica.

It looks like Roman encountered a monster with a strong body that was a bad match with him being a Martial Artist.

Besides, érica told me that she has been fighting alongside Lilith to finish off the monsters faster with her curses, but the second monster they found was resistant to the curses, which generated a tough battle for both of them, thanks to that they are full of wounds, but luckily nothing serious. ．𝒄𝙤𝙢

I don’t know any healing spells as I haven’t tried to learn any until today, so I could only give them some potions and hope to find Vanessa or Irina to heal them.

When everyone was gathered I left the Illusory Forest heading back to the village where the battle was still going on.

I was going to join the battle along with the others, but Freya and Roman stopped us, Roman seemed to want to let the other general who was commanding the troops beside Ivan continue the fight to gain more leadership experience as he was new with just a few 109 years old.

Freya also didn’t want anyone to interfere since Alice and Caryna were participating in combat, she wanted her apprentice and daughter to have the opportunity to grow up on their own in this place where everyone was ready to help if needed.

I wasn’t sure if I would let the battle continue, but when I saw a Gray Elf almost get killed by a monster that looked like a giant insect and is rescued by a flower that came out of the ground beneath her and closed around her body before taking her away down to earth again, then I realized Sakura was saying good job preventing deaths.

So I let this situation continue and watched from afar as the fight continued, one of the things I noticed was that Ivan wasn’t fighting directly, he was just giving orders from the background.

Ivan wasn’t participating in the fighting, with his strength there wouldn’t be enemies strong enough to be a challenge for him, but Roman, who seems to have become good friends with Ivan during our time here, said Ivan is training the troops to follow their lead orders during battle, plus he himself seems to be using different strategies throughout the battle.

It looks like Ivan was training his leadership skills, now that I’m looking at this I can see that he seems to be holding himself back from entering the battle directly.

After seeing Ivan I start looking for Caryna to see if she’s fighting the bizarre way I’ve been told.

I started to look around and after a few minutes of looking around I saw Leo with his big war ax fighting in his half-lion transformed form, I also saw someone holding a strange trident and strange short sword next to Leo.

When I looked better I realized that it wasn’t a short sword, it was a very large meat-cutting kitchen knife, the trident wasn’t what I thought either, it was a big barbecue fork.

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, the worst was when I saw that it was Caryna dressed in a strange black leather maid’s dress and a white apron.

Caryna was smiling and humming the same way she does every day in the kitchen preparing food for everyone in the morning.

Seeing her in the kitchen like this is a calming and relaxing sight for everyone, but seeing her do the same in the middle of a battlefield like this was beyond bizarre.

The way she moved that giant knife and fork was so unbelievable to me that my mind stopped working for a few seconds.

Caryna was treating the monsters the same way she treated the ingredients in the kitchen, she uses the big fork to go through the monsters while arranging the bodies in an orderly manner to pick up later.

The way she slashes enemies is also abnormal, each slash she cuts off a limb from the monster’s body or takes out the organs, it looks like she’s preparing the monsters’ meat for cooking.

The speed that Caryna was wielding her “combat weapons” was incredible, her movement precision was impeccable, but the strange way she fought was unpredictable to me.

She dodged any attack as if it was the most normal thing in the world, when she needed to defend herself she used her “combat weapons” to deflect blows, or simply cut off body parts as if they were being presented to her for it.

Plant-type monsters that could not be turned into food were destroyed on the first attack and thrown far away with their immense strength.

I look around at the others and see that Freya is sighing as she sees this scene like a mother seeing her child doing something she doesn’t approve of.

Others were having different reactions, some were looking in disbelief at what they were seeing just like I was before, some were watching with garlic interest that they had never seen before and some were watching with amusement as if it was some kind of show to watch.

I always thought Caryna was the most normal of us all, so for me to see her like this was like destroying a fantasy in mine while she punches me in the face with reality.

I should have known that it’s impossible for someone normal to live inside a dungeon, I have to stop having expectations of normality for those around me, in the end, I’m the only normal one and I have to be content with that.

After all the monsters were defeated I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, everyone around me was surprised too as Hela, Layla and Lilith were laughing at the scene that was making Freya sigh as she brought her hand to her face.

When all the monsters were dead, Caryna picks up a large thick metal tray that she pulls out of her storage item with one hand and goes toward the bodies she ordered during combat of the monsters she killed.

She picks up the big barbecue fork and starts picking up the bodies and placing them on the tray in an orderly fashion before taking them to another place where she has big boxes to store the bodies.

She really was treating all monsters like ingredients, it didn’t just shock us who were watching from afar, the people of the Dungeon and the village Elves were just standing there in disbelief at what was happening.
