"Please, take your time. It seems you guys have been through a lot. I am not going anywhere," Diana said as Susan turned to her. Though her boss was listening in on the conversation he was not in front of her, the monster snake was and all it needed was a glare to kill her.
Even though Susan did not show it, Diana was clear that they had really been through a lot for Susan to consider committing suicide. It was really surprised her that Susan and Corey would come to work as if nothing had happened. Any other regular person would be so shaken up by this incident that they reconsider their life choices and this would be a turning point in their life forget coming to work on the same day a few minutes later as if nothing happened.
Diana was the type to survive regardless of what it took and patiently take her revenge regardless of how long it took. So she did not support Susan's approach to commit suicide to avoid being captured but she respected it as no average person could do that. Susan did not try to commit suicide because something was wrong with her life. What Susan did was not easy.
Susan took a seat next to Corey and began to narrate where she left off, "Surrounded by five demigods, Bloodette instantly tried to use her Blood Flash rune to teleport us to safety but Demigods had erected an SSS-rank space isolation and expansion array separating the surrounding space from the world making it impossible for Bloodette to teleport us to safety.
With that, all our hopes of escaping the crisis had been snubbed. Just when we thought this was the end of the road for us, the demigod Handsome Fox and another demigod suddenly attacked one of their party members and killed him before the other two demigods could react.
Seeing this unfold the other two demigods were just as shocked as we were, it was clear that demigod Handsome Fox and his ally had betrayed their other three party members. However, before the other two demigods could comprehend what just happened Handsome Fox stored the broken divinity and diamond grimoire of the fallen demigod and along with his ally he proceeded to kill the other two demigods.
Soon a decisive battle broke out between the remaining demigods within the SSS-rank space isolation and expansion array formation. If not for demigods trying to avoid the area around us and Bloodette shielding us we would have become collateral damage in their battle."
Susan paused her narration recalling the battle between the demigods, she did not see their figure fight, all she saw was the aftermath but still, that was enough to make her understand that with her current strength, she was nothing but a life-stock being grown by the Royal families and Central government to keep themselves relevant.
Susan's pause made the atmosphere in the room heavy, expressing the gravity of the incident. The fear she was feeling had swept into the room with her narration of the incident. It was really a miracle that they made it out alive from out there. Diana did not urge Susan to continue, she could feel the turmoil in Susan's voice. She remembered the first time she saw a couple of Card Emperors fight from afar and it was so nerve-racking that she could not calm herself for weeks, so she could not imagine what Susan was going through having seen a couple of Card demigods fight by staying right at the heart of the battle.
After calming her nerves Susan continued, "It took a while but the victor of the battle was decided, Handsome Fox and his ally had managed to win using the element of surprise. With that, you would think the battle was over, but it wasn't. Handsome Fox slowly pierced his ally's heart. What was even weirder was that the other demigod did not even resist as Handsome Fox killed him.
Collecting the broken divinity and diamond grimoires of the fallen demigods, Hansome Fox turned his attention toward us. Seeing that four demigods had fallen we did not have any delusion that we would be escaping out of that space isolation and expansion array formation alive. We no longer had the will to resist.
Just when we had given up all hope, a huge snake broke through the SSS-rank space isolation and expansion array formation and began to attack Handsome Fox who was exhausted from killing his party members. So instead of fighting back, he chose to escape invoking some sort of weird escape card leaving the monster snake with no target. Leaving me, Bloodette, and Cortney scared and dumbfounded seeing the turn of events. As for Corey, she fearlessly charged at the huge snake that slowly grew small in size until it shrunk to a few inches and dove into Corey's embrace. Adding to our surprise.
As I said earlier the whole situation was one big roller coaster ride with twists and turns one cannot imagine when they have lost all hope. That was how we were able to escape the Five demigods and make it to work even though late."
"All that happened and you still prioritized coming to work I don't know whether to praise you or…" Diana chose not to finish her sentence knowing criticizing Susan too harshly for her behavior would only garner hate from Corey, Baem, and her young boss.
"No, I could not stay at home and be alone with my thoughts after what happened I had to keep it occupied. Work seemed to be the better place to keep my mind busy and stop it from thinking and seeing the worst in everything. The whole incident was traumatizing and work for me was therapeutic so I chose to come to work. But who would have known that Handsome Fox would come after me so fast? Fortunately, I have the best bodyguards in the world," Susan said looking at Corey and Baem.
