The library that she entered seemed to be a somber place, the various elementals and other horrors outside being blocked from entering. Disposing of such creature could have been easy if she had actually tried, but that wasn't her goal, the little girl that was causing all of this was her goal, and all that mattered was the end goal being fulfilled, nothing else within her path really mattered, they were just the means to the end. Perhaps the most shocking development that happened was the sheer fact of how this place was taken down. Such a sad little case, a group of people destroyed by just one, how could they claim to be something like a guild if they were able to be thwarted by just one individual, so shameful. All killed in an instant, honestly, Erika was a little bit impressed, but if the competition was able to lose this swiftly, they weren't worth the attention or sorrow that was given towards them, they were just pathetic weak individuals who had mismatched goals and a lack of conviction to see through said goals to the end.
Erika didn't get to explore the library very much as Niyol seemed to speak up quite fast, which was a bit odd, he seemed so reserved, could it be that he was upset because of something? Perhaps he was wrong personally, or it was just the environment, or maybe Erika was just annoying him that much, didn't matter, what did matter was that he told her where their little VIP was. This allowed for Erika to finally get mission underway, honestly, she believed she would have to start throwing threads out to all corners of this blasted place in order to find the girl, but here he was, coming through with the information, and she had time before he showed up... so wonderful.
"Why of course, I wouldn't dream of it."
Moving swiftly, Erika flew through the window changing said glass into threads so that she wouldn't become all busted up, or rather her outfit wouldn't get torn. Landing within the square that had been turned into a playground by the demented little one, Erika looked around, the entire place had a fog about it, but at the same time seemed peaceful, though that was probably just because Erika didn't mind this sort of environment. Spreading out her influence within the ground Erika would take gentle steps into the fog to look for this little girl though she could have just unleashed hell, she didn't wish to get sloppy, her pride was too large to simply destroy an area and person after all, and that one guy back there would have gotten annoyed, and then she'd have to listen to the complaining, she just didn't have time for that.
"Did you come to play with me?"
A voice, a small high pitched voice rang throughout the area, creating a deluded atmosphere, it would have been creepy if Erika hadn't anticipated it.
"Hmm, I suppose I have if your definition of playing is the same as mine."
"Hehe, do you like murder? I enjoy that form of playing."
"Murder? Such a simple word and method, I prefer capturing for a bit, let them know who the real one in charge is."
"In charge? Tee hee, I believe that would be me, you walked right into my little friends!"
Forming within the fog, there were more of the elementals appearing all around her, this was so bothersome, did she really believe this cannon fodder was a match for Erika? her patience was running thin right now, this wasn't amusing anymore even if the little girl found it funny.
"All of them have names and are my fun friends, they all used to live here or something like that, I can't fully remember, now they just do what I want, isn't it fun!?"
"Mindless puppets lacking ambition, purpose, or talent? Now I see why the dreary man was so annoyed, and I can agree with it, this is incredibly pathetic. I am disappointed just like your drunk alcoholic father probably was with you, no matter such raw talent can be put to use in some format."
"Tough talk, I will enjoy your screams."
All of the monsters enclosed upon Erika at once to try and get a massive attack off, but Erika was finally tired of playing with this little girl. Threads erupted from the ground, Erika flooded the area with them, but not where the little girl was standing. The destruction was clean and precise, the various forms of elementals and other deranged spirits were done with an effective sewing of their destruction. They might have been tough, but they couldn't compete against probing for weaknesses at a speed and amount that left them without defenses. The thing about threads is they can be as small as you want, or as big as you want, for the most part, and when it came to attacking, well they were flexible enough to weave through the enemies body without much hindrance. Basically, she tore them apart from the inside out. The threads also struck with such force that the fog was being pushed back due to the eruption from below the ground.
Appearing next to the little girl through her threads Erika wove her form back and took a poke at the girls arm. It was easy, she was caught off guard, after all, she probably didn't expect Erika to have any kind of abilities other than run around and die. Such weakness now made her a bit sick, she had come all the way out here for this? Oh well, she could now at least, get the consolation prize. A needle drove into it, and drew some of her blood, thankfully Erika had studied anatomy, and knew where to poke for maximum effectiveness. And just as swiftly as she had poked, she tied the girls feet down with threads and then lashed onto her arms.
Sure, she struggled, but Erika didn't care, her friends were all destroyed or tied up, and now she had the little prize that she desired. Shame, though, she did so wish to finish her off.
"Going to kill me?"
"I am afraid while I would normally love too... the companion I am with desires a word with you, and he provided me with your location, so at the very least... I can provide him with such a small request."
