On the other side of the battlefield, amidst the swirling chaos, the Queen was trapped. Her emerald flames had dimmed to almost nothing as she stood frozen in place, her body rigid and unresponsive.
Above her head, a strange artifact glowed faintly—a dark, jagged relic thrown by the scarred man. The artifact shimmered with an eerie light, locking her body in a petrified state.
Before her stood Mrs. Sia, the chainblade woman, her cold eyes devoid of remorse as she twisted the serrated blade in her hands.
With deliberate precision, she plunged it into the Queen's chest, again and again, more than a dozen times. Each strike was brutal, mechanical, as though it was nothing more than a task to be completed.
The Queen's emerald eyes locked onto Sia, her face calm despite the pain. Her lips curled into a faint, knowing smile, an expression that made Sia's calm facade falter for a split second.
"You'll help me," Sia muttered, her voice soft but resolute.
