CHAPTER 24

  "I suddenly don't have the heart to kill you guys anymore. How about... cutting off your limbs. This is a better option, right Beatrix?"

  The little girl simply gave a thumbs-up while covering her mouth and nose with her left hand.

  "Alright, let's start," she set fire to their clothing. While they were distracted and thinking about how to solve this problem, Beatrix cast a spell that made one feel like a thousand ants were eating their body from the inside.

  Lavana gave Beatrix a baleful look as blood trickled down the corner of her small lips.

  "What did I tell you?"

  "That I could use my scepter whenever I want.." Beatrix replied.

  Lavana rolled her eyes and caused water from the sea to rise and drench the trio. The fire had extinguished and before they could sigh, she launched several lightning balls at them. Their shriek of agony was piercing and she thought she almost went deaf.
