The corrupt Captain glares at the male siren with disgust, stating, "To think we had intruders in the city, and to think we also had a traitor in our mists!" The captain's eyes narrowed in rage as he brought up his hand to strike the siren. Despite his rage and attempt to strike the male siren, he hesitated. Gimp swiftly flew and landed on the male siren's shoulder, putting up a barrier. Leo charges past Gimp and the male siren, instead of breaking through Gimp's barrier he charged right through it. Leo's body traveled through the barrier, causing his axe to glow a white color, enchanting it. Leo swung his axe, causing a white spiritual sonic slash from it. The spiritual sonic slash struck all the corrupt sirens outside the hidden room but missing the captain altogether.

Leo gave Gimp a smug look and said, "Gimp, didn't we agree to hold back?" Gimp snapped in frustration, "Forget that! Her people are slaves, I won't hold back anymore! I'll take the punishment, who knows, I might even enjoy it!" He finished with a mischievous grin. Leo smirked confidently and replied, "Then neither will I. We'll face the consequences together. If you get in trouble, so will I!" Gimp cackled mischievously and flew onto Leo's shoulder to begin casting a spell.

Runes surrounded Leo, creating a buffalo fur cape on his back. A totem figure, carved with a demon's image, appeared on his back, glowing red from its eyes and emitting spiritual flames of an unnatural color. On Leo's other hand, an axe materialized out of spiritual flames with the same eerie hue. The voices of Leo and Gimp intertwined, proclaiming, "Spiritual Raging Chieftain." Leo embodied the essence of a native chieftain, wielding two axes - one crafted from spiritual flames and the other a traditional axe adorned with a demon totem that emitted red-glowing flames.

The captain of the siren nodded in apparent admiration of the spell, but then remarked, "Impressive, but you're no match for me." The captain, now corrupted, began to undergo a transformation, displaying his monstrous power. His eyes widened, and his grin stretched from ear to ear, revealing his shark-like teeth. His helmet and shoulders became infused with him, and spines protruded from his back, giving him a fishy fin appearance. A green mist emanated from the captain's scales, spreading corruption into the air. His arms turned monstrous, and webbing appeared between his claws. His tail grew thicker and fatter, and his entire body became covered in scales. Fish-like fins appeared on his ears, arms, and tail. With a gargling growl, he declared, "Allow me to show you the true wrath of us sirens!"

Leo stood his ground as the corrupt captain of the sirens charged at him, halfway through the attack. The captain leaped into the air and advanced towards Leo, raising his monstrous arms as if to strike him. Unfazed, Leo, in his Spiritual Raging Chieftain form, locked eyes with the captain and swung his spiritual axe, unleashing a powerful sonic wave of unnatural energy towards his opponent.

The Sirens' Corrupt Captain defiantly took on the spiritual attack, plummeting to the ground with a resounding thud. Leo, in his form as the Spiritual Raging Chieftain, charged at the captain without hesitation. Upon reaching him, Leo struck at the corrupt captain, only to have his axe caught by the captain's bare claw. Despite the captain's attempt to intimidate him, Leo growled back, showing no fear. Leo pressed on, swinging his other axe and engulfing the captain in eerie spiritual flames. The captain roared in pain, releasing Leo's axe and desperately trying to extinguish the flames, to no avail.

The rest of the corrupt sirens were taken aback by the blows their leader was enduring. Leo, in his Spiritual Raging chieftain form, unleashed another Sonic wave slash at the Sirens' Captain, unleashing a wave of flames. However, the sonic slash ripped through the ground, leaving a scar in its wake. Despite being hit head-on, the Captain screamed and rolled on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the fire, but to no avail. The corrupt sirens attempted to launch a surprise attack on Leo from behind, but the totem on his back echoed a warning in a blend of Leo's and Gimp's voices, "Stay back!" In a matter of minutes, the corrupt sirens were engulfed in flames of unnatural energy as well.

The city streets glowed with the flames of the unnatural energy, and the cries of the guards and the captain reverberated through the streets. As more corrupt guards arrived, the screams grew louder, blending into the chaotic scene as the other corrupt guards were engulfed in flames. When the flames subsided, so did the screams. The guards in this part of the city returned to their normal state. The faces of the civilians initially showed fear, but as they witnessed the guards returning to normal, hope illuminated their expressions. The question "If the guards turned back to normal, then so would the captain, right?" lingered in the minds of every enslaved siren. Despite the guards' transformation, it took longer for the captain to revert to his original state.

When the captain and the guards returned to their usual state, the flames died down, plunging the city back into darkness. The captain slowly got up, struggling to stand, his voice filled with strain as he accused, "You... You're to blame for this..." Leo braced himself for another assault, but Gimp's magic suddenly ceased to work. Now, Gimp and Leo stood side by side, preparing for the captain's next move, only to be taken aback as the captain, overcome with emotion, dropped to his knees once more, bowing his head in gratitude towards Leo and Gimp, saying, "Thank you, thank you! We are finally liberated from that nightmare!"

The captain stood up once more, issuing a stern command to himself and his men to release the civilians from their chains. Leo and Gimp assisted the guards in freeing the civilians, providing them with food, and water, and tending to the wounded sirens who had been enslaved. Despite their newfound freedom, the civilians remained fearful and apprehensive. Leo and Gimp sensed the shift in atmosphere, the loss of respect and trust. Yet, they understood the civilians' hesitation, knowing that even the captain and guards shared the same sentiments. "They must earn back that trust," Leo grumbled. Gimp nodded in agreement, recognizing that it was not their place to judge. With a shared understanding, they continued on their journey toward the castle, following the path they believed Aquatina would have taken.
