_____Nanai was overjoyed to have not only seen the jobs she was embarking on, but to be able to do them all alone. It was simply a great feeling when people asked for entire islands to be wiped from the map by a dark guild and oh was it fun to think how much the demoness could grow by consuming the remaining magic and life of her victims. It truly seemed that this set of jobs would be enough if the information about the numbers of residents on the island was correct. The excitement boiling under the calm surface of the child frame as she sat on the barrel near the bow of the ship.

_____The chilling winds of the coming night was a welcome feeling to the demon who now was the host of the body until the sun rose again. Sure it would not take nearly that long to wipe such a place off the map, but keeping to a tight scheduled was simply her thing as Nanai swung her feet to tap the side of the barrel as she watched the island coming more into view. The crew carefully approaching the child and coughing to get her attention, spinning slowly with a smile towards them.

"So... How close would you like us to get the ship..." "If possible to dock that would be lovely, after that you are all free to go back, I have a way to get back to my guild without traveling the water again. It was ashamed, what had to happen to most of the crew for you all to do such a simple task, but the rest of you shall be spared such a fate for helping.~"

_____Focus moved past the captain of the ship, towards the blood stained deck and the bodies her young host had taken care of to get them this ship to begin with. Sure the child tried to give them quick deaths but pain of losing people you know and being powerless to get revenge was a strong curse only time could lift for the rest of the bare minimal crew left to get the ship back to docks. But humming as she closed her eyes and slowly opened them to reveal blue irises as grey smoke coiled out from under the ragged cloak she wore.

_____The smoke covering her frame and rising beyond before revealing Nanai's true form for the crew to see, while she was not the one who killed the crew it seemed to believed it more so now seeing the demon woman sitting before them. Turning back to focus on the island with an amused hum wondering what sort of resistance the inhabitants might have or try to put up. The knowledge on that front was on the scarce side but that only made things that much more fun to find out and destroy the false hope it gives the normal people who lived here. Soon the possible slaughter would begin, and honestly Nanai doubted it would be otherwise as the demoness rose and jumped gliding across the air to land at the dock so the ship could turn away and leave as they already rushed to do.

#5de3a4 Nanai's speech

_____The scene was a truly unfortunate beauty she would have to spoil. Heels clicked to the wooden docks as the demon landed. The light breeze drifting the smell of saltwater up to land as the sound of the waves gently crashing to the sand gave the area an almost perfect atmosphere. The light spray of sea water giving the air a glow under the setting sun as she slowly moved froward without a rush to spoil the mood. Part of her knew there would already be a moment of such spoiling due to her childish side's actions.

_____Ophelia wanted to have fun, and in the child's pursuit of such thinking SHE would be the one to get to deal with the island she sent them letters in advance that they would soon be visited by a killer and they have been given warning to either run or prepare for battle. It likely was not taken serious due to the child's habit of drawing rainbows and adding glitter, AND her terrible hand writing that lowered the threat presence of the notes but they held true. Humming as she passed one of the posted notes her child side had set up before the travel here.

_____It seemed like Ophelia was growing up in her own ways to be honest, though it seemed more the girl was learning or trying to learn how to make people fear her with cute ways to toss them off. Musing how that could turn out if the child took up Nanai's magic and still held her childish actions when she had so much magic power. This train of thought however came to a halt as Nanai was hailed by a lone fisherman near the edge of the docks who seemed to be getting ready to head out for a night of fishing.

"Cold night to be walking around in a dress like that... It also might throw some people off here with those horns you got miss. Not saying we island folk will outright shun ya, but if you want to avoid the noble's attention covering them would be wise. He has a habit to try and collect people like you and we never see them again..." "Thank you for the warning kind sir, but with due respect it would take entire armies to get me anywhere close to being captured and at that point I'd simply get serious.~"

_____A calm smile was across both individual's faces as they exchanged words, though a slight bit of shock seemed to set on the male when Nanai explained the fact she would fight if such came to pass. Maybe it was the sudden rise of magic as the demon waved her hand to slash the man with a wave of magic that took his brain a moment to notice as his head passed the rest of the body before plopping into the water. Whatever the case was mattered not to the demon as she pressed a heel to his back to kick the rest of his body into the water and resumed walking.

_____There was not entirely a reason behind killing him outside one job was to leave no survivors and while this was not entirely OK with the guild or the mage who took the job it was fine if she just left the guild mark to be found when people came to the island. Shrugging as the demon reached the small shacks that lined the dock used for fisher equipment and rolling her eyes some and questioning a number of things at the same time. She saw no locks on any of them. Gears clicking as she kept moving inland to get a better spot for her magic while thinking.

'Why ask to kill everyone on an island and leave nobody alive? If said island is so peaceful they don't even lock a place that could hold weapons? I'm not one to up and pry over such things... but... maybe deeper inland I'll find the reasons for such a job request.'

_____Nanai's thoughts bounced around her head much like the light clicking of heels as she walked the crudely paved pathways of the island edge. Magic sensory picked up nothing to only further the demon's curiosity as she reached the perfect spot for the first use of her magic and took some time to look around carefully to check one last time. Eyes setting over wooden buildings of the lower class, some of stone that looked more like shops or just better off low class. Nobody seemed homeless, or awake despite the night only just coming to full swing with the rise of the moon at the edge of sight.

_____Slowly lifting her hand as the black and blue orb formed in her palm. The soothing chirping sound the lightning made as the demon began altering the scale of the magic turning the ball into a half circle that rested flat on her hand. One last glance around the area before Nanai decided to start the slaughter and coiled her fingers over the magic and crushed it in her hand. A brief second of nothing, before black energy ripped out from her hand. Street breaking as the wall of magic clashed with the first buildings.

_____The wave did not even seem to stop it's rapid expansion as the building was annihilated on contact and within a second that lasted plenty of time for the mage the entire area around her was left covered with a blanket of black ash and under it as the wind swept was black scarred earth at the aftermath of her magic. Eyes setting on some buildings that only had half been devoured by the magic to see people waking to the sudden crashing of objects as their weight broke the edge of the clean cut.

_____As a younger couple seemed the fastest to wake and notice the sudden fact half their home was missing turned to Nanai with shock in their sleepy eyes as she smiled. Her grin was not so much because she had been noticed but as she rose her hand slowly to point to what remained of the couple's child in another room that she could see but the wall still blocked the parents view. The slaughter was in full effect, hand waving to send a slash of magic to cut the head off the male adult before swinging another direction to deal with others that began to stir.

#5de3a4 Nanai's speech

_____It was not entirely enjoyable to slaughter the weaker masses, this much was shown as with one hand covering Nanai's mouth as she yawned while the other simply slashed her pointer finger across the air to send waves of razor sharp magic to people she felt would move sooner then the next she cut down. It was not until one of her spells seemed to miss the target that the demon's gaze shifted from her central point of focus to the sound of a explosion.

_____Unfazed grey eyes set on a building, or rather what seemed to remained as the bits and pieces fell down. Focus zooming a bit more to take notice to the overcharged remains of a magic crystal that was stashed into the wall of the home it seemed. Shrugging as she simply wrote it off as bad placement and resumed her lazy approach to dealing with people as the general population seemed to gather the picture now to start screaming bloody murder.

_____While delighted her efforts now seemed to be getting noticed the sound was less then enjoyable as the demon woman slowed to a stop taking notice to several people grouping with what could only be assumed weapons in the heat of the moment. Two held harpoons, one was holding what remained of a lamp, and the others had started chanting for spells. Not only did they seem to have quick reaction now that things started moving, but another group was rushing deeper inland escorting the woman, children, and elderly away from the fray.

"Commendable efforts you have taken to buy time for the others, but sadly it will not be enough..."

_____Nanai's tone was cold and dead of care as she waved her right hand across the air sending waves of magic towards the almost ready spell casters to remove their one visible range choice. Sure the harpoon could be fired but as the man's arms trembled seeing the carnage it was doubtful his aim would prove enough for luck to help the rest of the way. However while it would be simple to deal with them the demon was amused and figured to give them a chance to delay her a bit longer as she resumed a slow and steady approach.

_____The first male made his resolve known with a shout before rushing forward with his shattered lamp. An average build for an average age man, blond hair and oddly blue eyes that struck at Nanai's curiosity as she allowed him to approach. Thirty feet, twenty feet, ten feet, and then she waved her left middle finger to the right and watched his legs rush off without the upper half of his body. Watching the dazed look before switching to shock as the man noticed and started to bleed was amusing as Nanai stepped forward while the legs flopped down.

"A good effort, but against a mage was that truly a wise choice to simply rush forward?"

_____It was not needed to talk to the dying man, but it helped Nanai feel like she would haunt him even in the afterlife for mocking the way he died as she was. Flicking her thumb downward as a magic weight crushed the man into the blackened ground and she returned he focus to the remaining few. One man thought about the situation, while the other tried to run away seeming to value his own life over those if neighbor or possibly family.

_____Left hand opening slowly before balling into a fist as the man was crushed from all sides by magic leaving only one left. Watching him drop the weapon and kneel caused a look of disgust across Nanai's face that was now not able to be seen by the groveling man. Left leg rising more then normal before stomping to the ground to cause magic to crush his head in from behind before she resumed her walk. A minor detour to avoid the blood spilling from the bodies. Without anymore people trying to be hero Nanai was free to hunt down the remaining people from the port area.

_____Heels clicking to a stop as she recalled something she had forgot to do and slowly spun back having almost left the black circle she made with her magic. Hands slowly waving as a beam of magic cut into the center of the circle drawing out the guild symbol in grey magic that began pooling the blood towards it to fully set the symbol into the tarnished earth. It was part of Nanai's agreement to Ophelia to make sure people knew the guild was responsible for the work of the two. Turning with a hum back towards the fleeing group as she resumed chase.

_____Her pace would slowly gain momentum, hands reaching out as magic chirped to life around her fingers when she neared the rear member of the group and with a quick swipe upward forced the elderly man to drop down with large gashes from his waist and into his skull. A twisted grin as Nanai lowered her frame and rushed the next person failing to keep up and cut them open like the man before. Watching the blood drip off the magic claws as she chuckled and hunted her pray.

'I wonder when I'll get to fight a real threat here, maybe inside the noble's home? Oh how i wish for worthy adversaries to aid my growth.'
