"Stop," Helena said, and the members of Witch's Forest stopped beating on Shion.

"Ugh." 

Shion was sprawled on the ground. There wasn't a single spot on his body that was unhurt.

"Do you want me to kill you?" Helena asked.

Shion nodded his head. He'd rather get a game over than get beaten like a dog. It would be a hundred, no, a thousand times better.

Moreover, he had to return to headquarters, reorganize his guild, and see how they'd prepare for what came next.

"Then give it." Helena extended her hand.

"Give what?"

"Money to repair our guild headquarters, reparations for hurting our members, etc. Oh, and the equipment you're wearing too."

"Ugh." Shion wavered. Helena's face turned stone cold.

"Yericka, heal him aga..."

"I-I'll do it!" Shion yelled. He had to do whatever it took to get away from here.

"That's pretty impolite of you. And apologize to me and the girls."

"S-Sorry." 

Helena smacked his head.

"Be more polite."

"I-I am so sorry!"

"Give us all your equipment. Don't leave a single one on. I'll know if you're still wearing something."

Helena took all of Shion's equipment. This was the leader of one of the 5 great guilds for god's sake!

"Kill me now..."

"Keep your promise."...
