Fu Hua leaped to the ground.
The Grip of Taixu appeared in her hand. She stepped forward with her left foot and assumed a stance.
Yuma was the first to draw his bow, firing three arrows at Fu Hua.
Seeing this, she spun on her feet and darted aside, dodging the arrows.
She flipped through the air to evade Soukaku's bladed banner, then threw a punch that collided with Tsukishiro Yanagi's naginata.
Bang—
As both sides staggered back, Hoshimi Miyabi rushed toward Fu Hua at breakneck speed.
Slash, slash, slash—
Three instantaneous slashes came straight at her.
Fu Hua neither dodged nor retreated, gathering a wave of energy in her hand.
"Inch Strength: Chaotic Thunder!"
Boom—
A massive pale-gold energy wave surged toward Hoshimi Miyabi's three slashes.
The powerful airflow forcibly drove all four people, who had intended to close in, back.
As the sound of the explosion faded, Fu Hua took the initiative and engaged the three of them in battle.
"Fu Hua is incredible. She can actually go toe-to-toe with the Anti-Air Sixth Division."
Belle, far away at the Video Store, could not help but marvel.
"Bro, do you think we have someone backing us now?"
"More or less. Building a good relationship with them would be greatly beneficial to us."
Back at the scene.
Fu Hua lashed out with a side kick at the charging Hoshimi Miyabi.
Hoshimi Miyabi raised her demon blade to block it.
Even so, the sheer force sent her sliding back several meters.
After twirling her blade, she slowly rose to her feet.
Behind her, Tsukishiro Yanagi was already drenched in sweat.
"Section Chief, this person seems to be at Void Hunter level."
Pulling the blade embedded in the ground free, Asaba Yuma wiped the dust from his cheek.
"This is exhausting. If I lose focus for even a moment while fighting her, I get sent flying."
Fu Hua slowly stood up, her breathing still steady as she spoke calmly.
"The warm-up ends here. Void Hunter, it is time for you to draw that sword.
Otherwise, all of you will die."
As soon as she finished speaking, her previously pitch-black armor began to emit an orange-yellow glow.
Shadow Knight: Moonbreaker, Berserk Form.
Massive waves of scorching air began blasting outward in every direction.
Fu Hua slowly crouched again, one hand clenched into a fist at her waist while the other formed an eagle claw before her.
"Whoa, has the boss entered its second phase?!"
After stuffing several pieces of popcorn into her mouth, Belle exclaimed in surprise.
"Her armor can actually change forms. I really wonder who made it."
Faced with Fu Hua's overwhelming presence, Hoshimi Miyabi naturally did not back down.
She unlocked her demon blade with her fingerprint and awakened it.
Ice-blue mist began spreading outward.
The exaggerated special effects even turned the ends of her hair completely ice-blue.
Whoosh—!
The next instant, the two figures flashed and clashed together.
Clang, clang, clang—
From the ground to the sky.
Sparks from colliding metal and crisp ringing sounds echoed everywhere.
Watching this, Soukaku could not help feeling her eyes sting. She leaned directly into Tsukishiro Yanagi's arms and asked.
"Sis Ryu, can the boss win?"
Tsukishiro Yanagi, who had been staring at the two with a furrowed brow, could not help but shake her head.
"I don't know. It's my first time encountering a situation like this too."
The blue slashes collided with the golden shockwaves, and many newly spawned Ethereals did not even have time to complete their entrance animations.
They were directly annihilated by the colliding aftershocks.
Fu Hua seized an opening and threw a punch, sending Hoshimi Miyabi crashing down from the sky.
The thrusters behind her kept her airborne.
She spoke again.
"Then it is time to end this."
"Inch Strength: Heaven Splitting!"
Boom—!!
A powerful blast of fist-force hurtled toward Hoshimi Miyabi on the ground.
The four on the ground felt the pressure of the fist-force descending from the sky. It was no weaker than any Ethereal they had ever faced.
Can't find it by searching the book title? Try searching for the author instead—it may have simply been renamed!
Her hand trembling, Hoshimi Miyabi slowly gripped her sword hilt. Though she might not be able to withstand it—
The excitement in her heart still drove her to draw her blade and meet it head-on.
Shing—
After gathering her strength, she unleashed a massive ice-blue slash.
It collided with Fu Hua's Heaven Splitting.
By then, Fu Hua had somehow already arrived beside Cui Ji and Belle, and she spoke casually.
"Let's go."
Before the two could react, Fu Hua scooped up Cui Ji and the Bangboo.
Then flew away.
Her attacks were so powerful. What kind of attacks would she have to deal with afterward? They would only be even more...
Dripping with sweat, Hoshimi Miyabi slowly rose to her feet, the hand gripping her sword still trembling.
She stared solemnly at the sky, thick with mist.
The violent heaving of her chest told her that her stamina was nearly spent.
However, when the mist dispersed, her eyes widened in a daze.
Her expression scrunched up adorably as well.
"Eh—where did she go?!"
She looked around, only to finally spot Fu Hua running away in the distance.
"Sec-Section Chief, I think she left."
Asaba Yuma's voice interrupted Hoshimi Miyabi's gaze as she watched Fu Hua's retreating figure.
She slowly sheathed her sword.
"I want her!"
"Hmm, what do you mean?"
Tsukishiro Yanagi did not react at first and asked.
"I want to see her again. I gained a great deal from that battle. I want to fight her once more."
"Eh!? Boss, aren't we enemies with her?"
Soukaku said in disbelief.
"Hey, Soukaku, from what we can tell so far, she isn't an enemy. And from that battle just now, it was obvious—
She was guiding us through our moves."
"Huh? Really? How come I didn't feel that?"
Seeing this, Yuma could only smile helplessly.
After straightening her clothes, Tsukishiro Yanagi said to the others, "We should leave quickly too."
As for the military and government personnel, once they learned that Hoshimi Miyabi's Anti-Air Sixth Division was fighting here—
They had already wisely cleared out.
"I will find you. This will be added to my training."
After saying that, Hoshimi Miyabi turned and led the other three out of the Hollow.
After leaving the Hollow.
They returned to the dormitory.
Hoshimi Miyabi lay in the bathtub, soaking.
With her eyes tightly shut, Fu Hua's figure kept replaying in her mind.
Along with every moment of their confrontation.
Meanwhile, following Miyabi's instructions, Tsukishiro Yanagi began spreading the news.
Before long, word spread that the Anti-Air Sixth Division led by the youngest Void Hunter, Hoshimi Miyabi, had encountered a mysterious woman in a Hollow.
Discussions on Inter-Knot were equally endless.
After all, anyone capable of fighting a Void Hunter and emerging victorious had to be incredibly powerful.
Then, based on the others' descriptions and recollections, advanced technology was used.
To reconstruct Fu Hua's Shadow Knight: Moonbreaker form.
Her photograph was made into a missing-person notice and circulated across Inter-Knot.
The following afternoon.
At Victoria Housekeeping.
Fu Hua, dressed in White Night Butler attire, elegantly wiped down the counter.
Lycaon stood to the side, savoring his coffee.
"Miss Fu Hua, the person the Anti-Air Sixth Division is... searching for on Inter-Knot is you, isn't it?"
"Mr. Lycaon, I'm not sure what you mean."
The corner of Lycaon's mouth twitched as he coughed dryly a few times.
"Miss Fu Hua, you're not very good at lying."
"All right... it was indeed me."
"With that hair color and build, you'll be exposed very easily."
Fu Hua did not seem particularly concerned about it.
"It's fine. I'll hide for as long as I can. If I can't hide anymore, I'll simply let nature take its course."
Seeing this, Lycaon smiled.
"I see. That does suit your personality.
However, I never expected you to possess strength no weaker than a Void Hunter."
