Crushing the silence, a deadly crisis struck just as their bodies and minds had completely relaxed,
Boom—!!!
Amid a deafening blast, Fang Ran clutched Veronica and was sent flying straight through the wall!
Like a needle piercing tofu, the "thread" that had entered the villa without damaging anything along its path erupted with terrifying force the instant it struck Silver Severing Dragon Tooth,
His hasty defense could not withstand it at all. The shield shattered, the Wheel Card broke, and Fang Ran desperately used King of Gods and his own body to shield Veronica,
Sending him hurtling like a supersonic stone into the rooftop garden!
"Cough!!!"
He coughed up blood from the tremendous impact, but had no time to care about that. In that instant, his mind was filled with towering waves of shock,
Dead Line!? Why was she here!? The operation had not even begun yet!? She actually dared to attack in the middle of the city in reality!?
What was she doing!? What did she want!?
Countless thoughts surged through him, but even in the crisis, just as last night, he made his highest-priority move,
As he pushed himself up and confirmed that the Empress in his arms was unharmed, Fang Ran once again planned to activate the Wheel Card and send her away,
But he was given no chance to catch his breath,
The deadly, merciless fine thread flashed toward him again!
Distracted, he could not defend as he had last night. Unable to dodge, he could only rely on his Night Equipment to take the blow head-on, and Fang Ran was sent flying off the rooftop of the building,
The Wheel Card's teleportation was interrupted, and Veronica appeared more than ten meters away from where she had been,
And then,
Another "thread" shot toward her!
What...?
