As everyone heard Lilim's sobs they started to summoned their weapons.
while the priest who arrived with the heads of all the Golden Panther tribe just looked at the sight of the high priest on the crater slightly buried in shock.
They quickly came out of their shock when they saw the girls pulled out their weapons which they responded in kind and pulled out their weapons as well.
Delta just had a bloodthirsty smile on her face and as her smile grew large she started prepare herself and got on all fours waiting for her boss's signal.
And she didn't have to wait long since Shadow Just said "Leave none alive" and with that the first one to shoot of towards the priest was Delta.
Kicking off she sent sand flying everywhere as she went on a full sprint and when she arrived in front of the priest she used her claws and swiped them across his face and chest disfiguring him.
She then used him as a spring board and shot off towards the next priest and sent a magic enhanced punch right to the head but he managed to block it with a sword. Although the priest managed to block it he was sent flying and crashing onto other priests.
While Delta was having her brawl. Epsilon and Beta started running in sync as their main focus for fighting is technique and precision with careful movements.
They maneuvered around many priests that tried to swing at them and when one priest attacked them, one would block it, while the other one went for the kill, and all of that was possible due to their flawless teamwork.
Meanwhile Gamma was spinning around in circles with a sword in hand while making noise with her mouth "Fswooosh, Fswooosh, Fswooosh, Fswooosh, Fswooosh, Fswooosh, Fswooosh, Fswooosh,"
Shadow watching her just turned his head to the side and covered his mouth with his hands to stop himself from laughing outloud 'I can't believe she actually did it, this is so funny, I feel kinda bad for lying about it, but looking at the scene is all worth it'.
Although surprisingly the technique works for her as none of the priest are able to get to close to her, that is until her foot slipped on the sand causing the sword to slip out of her hand as she falls to the sand eating a mouthful.
As for the sword she threw, thanks to her spinning, the momentum carried itself onto the sword turning it into a spinning blade, which due to her fall delta threw it at an angle and into the neck of a priest but it wasn't the only one
Due to the way they were lined up Gamma's sword decapitated 5 priest in one good arc, until a priest saw what was coming and redirected the spinning blade to the ground where it stayed their for a bit before turning back into slime.
Everyone just stopped what they were doing and slowly turned their heads to Gamma who was getting up from the floor spitting everywhere
"*ptui* *ptui* Ewwww *ptui* I goot saan ento mai mouph!" (translation: Ewwww I got sand into my mouth) said Gamma trying to spit out all the sand with a sour expression on her face and her tongue sticking out.
Everyone from Shadow Garden just sighs and face palms thinking that Gamma actually got better during battle but got disappointed to see that it was just one of her clumsy mistakes.
Alpha then picks the fight back up to where they left off. Alpha started enhancing herself with magical energy to the point where it even started to manifest into the real world. A blue type of magic power starts to come out of her and enveloped her whole body.
She then disappeared from everyone's view and 10 priest suddenly collapsed with their head in the air and blood gushing from their necks.
Once Alpha was done only a few priest remained and they all trembled in fear and started running all over the place and into the forest to hide, seeing them running away, the others were about to give chase but their Master Shadow stopped them
"Girls wait, Let me take care of them"
Hearing him the girls grew excited as they were about to see their Master in action. Since everytime their master does something they know its a spectacle to see.
Clouds then soon started to form even though the sun just started rising, the wind was growing fierce, even Lilim had to hold her brother tightly. All you could see was Shadow's coat flapping fiercely with the wind.
Lightning then started swimming in the clouds, jumping around fiercely as if waiting for their command
*Rumble* *Rumble*
Even though you couldn't see Shadow's face you could see his eyes, his eyes that were glowing a deep purple color, with electricity pulsing through them.
He then spoke in a voice unfit of his age and stature
"These lowly creatures should really know their place"
*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*
Thunder was soon heard alongside the sound of lightning crackling.
He nonchalantly held up two fingers and then nonchalantly made a dropping motion with no expression on his face.
As if finally seeing their signal Lightning started falling from the sky all over the forest and onto the bodies of all the leftover priest that ran away. After each lightning strike the sound of anguished soon followed.
*Kaboom* "AAARRRRGGGGHHH" *Kaboom* "AAARRRRGGGGHHH" *Kaboom* "AAARRRRGGGGHHH" *Kaboom* "AAARRRRGGGGHHH" ×5
The girls just had an expression of awe look on their face, no matter how many times they see it, they just couldn't get enough of it
Beta then softly whispered "It's like he's commanding the heaven's themselves to smite these heretics for committing such a blasphemy against master"
The other girls could only nod as they were still fixated on his power
Not even Lilim was spared as she had a fanatical worship in her eyes towards the one that saved her and her only family member left in this world.
Once the lightning stopped dropping and the screaming stopped the clouds started to dissipate and the morning sun came shining through.

Seeing that everything was over, Shadow then turned around and knelt down towards Lilim who was looking at the head of her mother and father.
He then conjured some water and started to wash her hair and dry it with hot winds he also conjured, cleaning it up from the blood of the priest's hand that was smothered on top of her head.
He then patted her head and said "There you go good as new, although you could still use some cleaning it's best to wait until we finish everything."
As for her little brother, her brother was fast asleep in her arms.
"So want to talk with your parents"
Lilim who was touching the part of her head he was petting and blushing stop what she was doing and looked at him in shock, unsure of what he meant.
Shadow while looking at her who was just looking at him in shock just said "Imma take that as a yes"
He then stood up and looked at the head of her parents and as he looked down he said "Come Forth" leaving out the 'and serve' for obvious reasons.
And as he did two shadowy beings started to manifest itself. They were Lilim's mother and father.
The girl seeing her parents once again just broke down crying once more.
The shadow beings then turned their head towards shadow and with just a look asked for permission to be allowed to hug her, Shadow just nodded his head, and as he did they both went and wrapped their arms around her.
"We're both glad you're both safe" said the mother looking at her and the baby.
The father then turned towards Shadow and bowed his head "Thank you for saving her"
Lilim then while crying said "You were right father, there was someone who could cure my demon possession in the east, they came across the sea, they were the mission"
The father then turned and looked at Shadow in shock and said "Did you come from the Midgard kingdom"
Shadow just slowly nodded carefully incase he said something that would expose himself, that was until he realized that there was no one there alive, except the unconscious Petos still looking as miserable as ever.
Seeing Shadow nod the father nodded as well 'I see so we completed the mission that's good'
The father then turned to Lilim and said in a caring voice "Make sure to take care of yourself alright and grow big and strong, I just know you have alot of talent so you could do it"
Then the mother chimmed in "grow up to be happy in life and find yourself a good husband that would take good care of you" and as the mother said this she started hinting at Shadow with her head and ears.
Lilim then asked softly "You guys aren't going to stay?"
The father then sigh and said "We have already died once and we died a warriors death, a death that we could be proud of, we died protecting the people we love.
If we asked to be resurrected we feel it would be spitting on our sacrifice, we wanted our death to mean something and it does, our death meant that you and your little brother could survive another day.
And I couldn't ask for anything better"
Then the mother spoke "We already did our roles in this life, we made sure you would survive and meet him" the mother then pointed towards Shadow and as she did she spoke to him.
"Please take care of our little girl when we finally pass on, and thank you, truly thank you for letting us have a final Goodbye"
Shadow just nodded promising her that he will.
Lilim tried to refuse and make counter arguments about why they should stay but the words wouldn't come out, she realized that they wanted to move on but couldn't until they made sure she's safe.
And so she took a deep breath to calm herself down and with a big smile said "Don't worry, I could take care of myself. So you could move on and live a happy life in the afterlife, and don't worry about my little brother, I promise to take good care of him" She kept listing off the things she would do with a smile to reassure her parents
Which worked as they smiled and held each others hand
And as they held hands they turned towards Shadow and said "Please let us pass on, our time is already up"
Shadow just nodded once again and dispelled his powers letting them move on.
And as they slowly dissipated Lilim kept making them promises until they were truly gone...
Once she realized that they were truly gone, she was sad but not as sad as she was before, she had her closure, she now knows that they are together in the afterlife and it's all thanks to Shadow.
Lilim then turned and bowed down towards Shadow "Thank you, thank you for bringing me closure and letting me say my final goodbye to my parents"
Shadow nodded once again accepting her thanks and then said "Now then onto other matters, How would you like to join Shadow Garden"
Lilim then repeated the name "Sha-dow Gar-den?"
Shadow then signal to Alpha which prompted her to say "We Shadow Garden go against a Cult, the Diabolos Cult to be more precise..."
And with that she started her whole ordeal and the introductory into Shadow Garden.
And when she finished Lilim could be seen biting her lip with an enrage expression...
Even though she was glad that her parents passed on that didn't mean she would forgive the perpetrator.
When she heard everything she bowed down towards Shadow and said "Please make me powerful, I want to fight, I want to completely destroy the cult" and with that she has awaken her hunger for power.
Shadow then smiled and said "Isn't that a given, How about this, I'll let this bug alive. You would have to hunt him down in the future when you're powerful enough and get revenge on your own" while pointing his finger towards Petos.
Lilim then looked at his eyes with a power hungry look and nodded his head. "Please let me be the one to hunt him down and be his executioner"
"From now one Lilim is a name you thrown away and it's in the past, from now on you shall be name Zeta, the 6th member to have officially joined Shadow Garden"
Lilim who now goes by Zeta got in one knee and said "Thank you master"
And as she knelt down Shadow used Ruler's Authority to bring her baby brother into his arms and as he landed into his arms, he surrounded Zeta with slime until the body suit everyone wears formed on her body.
And with that Zeta has officially joined Shadow Garden.
