Primordial Villain With A Slave Harem-Chapter 575: Raika, Punish

The white-haired beauty’s next words were the last thing Ryker and his team wanted to hear considering their situation. "Raika, be a dear and come here for a second…"

Raika paused her shadow boxing motions mid-swing, and with an annoyed scoff, she walked over to us. "What is it? I was about to win ten punches faster than the last time."

"Come here, you five." Vex didn’t reply to her question but instead ordered Ryker’s team to leave the cave and stand before us.

Ryker was the first to straighten his back and do as told. Before that, however, he turned toward his teammates and confidently said, "Don’t worry, I’ve got this."

You’ve got this? You’ve got what?

My questions were answered once the five of them stood before us, with Ryker in the front. Before Vex could even say anything, the man got on his knees and genuflected. "It was all my mistake, Lady Vex! My Heralds were just following my lead… or rather, lack thereof."

Raika and Ignis left the cave as soon as the lionkin surrounded us, while Vex followed after them, but not before telling us to wait for the three of them to create some distance so we can come out without getting blasted by accidental friendly fire.

That was exactly what I and my team did. I observed their fight, well, after I was done with my wrestling match with the eccentric fire elixir, and when I saw an opportunity, I instructed my Heralds to move out so that we could assist the three elites.

Iris also deserved praise. She recognized that hero play wasn’t an option and swallowed her pride to work together with Ayame so that we could all survive the ambush.

On the other hand, Ryker and his team refused to leave, but not because Ryker himself wasn’t willing to, but because he was following that horrible woman’s orders like a dumb dog, and she was the one who refused to risk her life.

Although it might be a bit abrupt to make this observation, I believe she alone is the reason for their failure as a team. Ryker seemed to be strong enough based on our clash that was interrupted by Ignis’ grandiose entrance. His sole issue is that he was wrapped around his master’s finger.

"Ryker…"

"Ryker, don’t do this!"

"We were all at fault!"

All three of his female teammates had teary eyes as they begged him to stop, save for the white-haired cunt. She was their archer based on her bow and arrows, but I’d never seen her use it before, so I couldn’t be sure they weren’t just there for decoration. Anyhow, since I didn’t wish to badmouth Selene by calling this woman Selene 2.0, and because I forgot her name, I decided she will be Chicken from now on.

Unlike her three fellow Heralds, Chicken was looking at Ryker as if he was to be blamed for it all, as he himself claimed.

What a horrible coward.

"Stop… As the team’s leader, responsibility lies with me." Ryker decreed.

Ignis wasn’t having it. "Accepting responsibility is admirable, young man, but you and your team disobeyed your leader’s order during a critical situation. It’s not a small mistake you can just apologize for."

I was wondering how he even knew what Vex told us to do as he was fighting the lionkin when she did it, but then I realized they must’ve conversed a bit while watching my fight. I finished last, after all.

Ryker nodded. Resolution shined in his eyes as he said, "I accept whatever punishment I’m given."

"Alright. I’ll be sure to include this incident in the final report of the mission." Vex accepted his words before turning toward the black-haired beauty next to her.

"Raika, punish."

I couldn’t help but snicker inside. What is this, caveman language? It felt like Vex released her bulldog from its restraints.

My amusement died down when Raika’s form immediately erupted from where she stood with so much speed it looked like she straight-up teleported.

Her next act shocked me even more so. Instead of aiming at Ryker, her boot found its mark on Chicken’s stomach, who was standing beside him. With her trademark savage cruelty, she kicked her target hard enough to send her flying across the bloody battlefield like a discarded marionette. I could only watch as her body was flown through the air while her limbs flailed helplessly.

Chicken might’ve been shooting through the air like an arrow, but Raika was even faster.

In the blink of an eye, this wild woman closed the distance as she reappeared next to the flying girl. With a simple, brutal kick, Raika sent her victim soaring upward toward the sky this time around.

As a result, Chicken became a ragdoll who was suspended against the pull of gravity, flying higher and higher toward the clouds.

However, even Raika couldn’t send a woman on an astronaut journey—gravity soon woke up and realized it had some work to do.

As Chicken began her inevitable descent, Raika shifted into a lethal stance, and I couldn’t help but realize that this was no longer a mere beating but an execution.

She pulled her right arm back and formed her hand into a tight fist, ready to deliver a final punch right before the woman’s impact with the earth.

However, just as the collision between her fist and Chicken’s face could occur, Vex’s authoritative voice rang out: "Raika."

The command was wordlessly demanding instant and complete obedience from the wild woman.

Raika’s arm stilled mid-air, letting Chicken’s battered body be unceremoniously reunited with Thalorind’s loving but heavy embrace. Thud!

Ouch. That was quite a few bones breaking.

Vex’d said Black Fang has to beat Raika up every now and then or she’ll stop behaving. Based on this information, Raika’s complete obedience toward Vex must mean that the two had a duel recently where my Hexblade beat the hell out of her younger sister.

"W-w-what do you mean?! I said I was at fault!" Ryker shouted as the shock assaulting his brain subsided at long last. He stopped his groveling and rushed toward Chicken, checking on her condition. She was conscious - barely. Unintelligible, guttural moans came from her throat as she cried from the overwhelming pain she felt all over her broken body.

Honestly, I was surprised she managed to remain conscious. Raika must’ve been holding back with her kicks, and the hug Thalorind gave her was lessened as she managed to land on her hands instead of vital organs.

"Raika, care to explain yourself?" Vex asked, though she didn’t seem angry in the slightest.

The woman in question scoffed dismissively, "She was annoying me."

"Hmm… Okay." The Hexblade nodded, accepting Raika’s reasoning without further ado. At the end of the day, she merely said ’punish’. Her order didn’t have a subject, and I couldn’t help but think it was done on purpose. She must’ve been curious what Raika would do if given more wiggle room. Vex then turned toward Seraphiel. "Solace, can I trouble you?"

"Yes, but she won’t be in running condition anytime soon."

"Let’s just leave her then."

"Wait! I’ll carry her on my back." Ryker’s statement led to a groaning and whimpering Chicken being strapped to his back after a few minutes.

Ignis spoke up next. "I propose we make multiple teams and scout this land for information. As we are right now, all we know is that the lionkin are expanding their territories rapidly, conquering other beastkin land."

Vex nodded, "I agree. I’ll take the two super rookies and Devil’s team while you take this merry bunch. It’s best if we let Raika explore on her own."
