On the street downstairs, a chaotic battle had already unfolded in full swing.

The man holding the long sword held back the man with the metal gauntlets, while the remaining two tangled with E-49, fighting with ease despite the roars from its mountain-sized body.

But in reality, all four of them had a powerful trump card hidden away!

They were just waiting for E-49 to be unable to hold on any longer, then they would unleash this trump card to deliver the killing blow!

And then claim the special reward for this special scenario!

Coincidentally, all four were very confident in the power of their ultimate attacks.

I discovered it first, the kill must be mine! the man controlling the Wind Blade thought to himself.

Wait a moment, just a little longer, and I'll... This was the thought in the mind of the sinister man holding the sword.

Hmph, a bunch of clowns! thought the mighty strong man with the huge metal gauntlets, who was also the highest ranked.

And the last person sneered inwardly: Don't think I don't know what you're plotting, but in terms of power, how can you compare to me? He touched a special pistol at his waist and sneered again.

All four were incredibly confident.

However, at this very moment, a thick bolt of Lightning suddenly shot out, and then, with the force of a charging dragon, it plunged into the ground where the four were standing!

An electric circle instantly formed!

In an instant, a huge electric circle surrounded everyone!

"What?! This is!!!"

Incredulity rose in the hearts of all four. An electromagnetic field spun rapidly on the ground, and then everyone was too late to lift their feet off the ground!

Intense high-voltage current surged directly into their bodies!

"Ahhhhhh~~"

Screams echoed!

The confident quartet was the first to be eliminated.

Then the girl jumped out from behind the billboard, removed the Electromagnetic Barrier, clapped her hands lightly, and smiled as she looked at the remaining E-49, but she didn't notice that the residual high-voltage current seemed to flow towards the supermarket building closest to it.

"Phew, now, no one in this scenario can snatch the target from me."

The girl smiled confidently, but as soon as her words fell!

Boom boom boom!!!

A low booming sound of explosions came from very close by!

The girl's face changed drastically, and she quickly planned to forcefully attack and kill E-49, but before she could take a few steps, the supermarket building a dozen meters away suddenly began to shake!

It suddenly collapsed like building blocks!

Boom!

Crash!!!

In the equipment room, Ling had just finished setting up the detonation conditions and had just flown out of the room when she heard the low explosion.

Ling was startled, then thought to herself, This low boom sounds just like the sound of the load-bearing pillars I set up exploding~

Then the entire building began to shake and collapse, as if an earthquake had struck!

Ling: "..."

So which damn bastard set up the conditions right after I did, and then blew it up right after?!

The confident Ling was immediately defeated.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop, two cowardly dogs huddled under their dark robes, trembling as they watched the drama unfolding below, like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

"Holy crap, bro, she's so scheming!" Fang Ran watched in shock as the girl, who was clearly the strongest and most capable, still set up a trap.

"Calm down, little brother, this is basic common sense in Night Battles," Meng Lang said without surprise.

"Speaking of which, bro, don't you think we look a little gay like this?"

"No choice, the robe is only this big, little brother, just bear with it."

The two continued their pointless conversation, planning to enjoy the show of 'Lightning Girl Slaughtering Dark Monster.jpg' from high above. But just then, it felt as if the ground beneath them suddenly dropped a bit, and they felt the building seemed to move.

"Bro, did you feel like it shook just now? Like we're tilting forward?" Fang Ran swallowed and asked.

"Little brother, you have to believe that was definitely your illusion just now," Meng Lang frantically explained, wiping away cold sweat.

Then, BOOM!!!

The building collapsed, completely shattering the two cowards' fantasies.

The falling wind completely messed up their hair, distorting their faces.

The two cowards desperately clung to the rooftop railing together, screaming like pigs being slaughtered! They watched as the building beneath them crashed down!

"Ahhhhhh!! We're gonna die!!!!"

"Ahhhhhh!! We're gonna die!!!!"

The confident dog-like guys were also defeated.

"Roar!!!"

Lightning struck, and the girl rapidly charged towards E-49. She didn't know whose doing this was, nor who blew up the building (...), but she knew that as long as she killed E-49, everything would be worth it!

"Lightning!"

Lightning surged on her wrist, an ability similar to a certain famous anime female character. A high-voltage current shot out from her hand!

"Roar!!"

E-49 let out an unpleasant roar. It was one of the top fifty existences in the E-class, strong and robust. Its massive body possessed the strength to easily knock away a small car, and its hardened outer layer could withstand the impact of a truck.

But none of that mattered.

Opposite it was an ability user who was also a top performer in the B-class.

With the intense lightning and the supply of magic energy, a thick laser instantly pierced through its body.

"Roar!!"

E-49 began to feel fear. Without any special abilities like those in the top thirty, it had no way to deal with the girl holding Lightning. Instinct drove it, making it want to escape immediately.

"Trying to run??"

The girl smiled in response, then a faint flash of Lightning appeared under her feet as she prepared to chase after it and deliver a fatal blow!

But just at this terrible moment, the girl felt a long, drawn-out scream coming from above her, growing closer, and it seemed there were two of them.

"Ahhhhhh!!!! Help!!!!"

"Ahhhhhh!!!! Help!!!!"

Two screams, each more miserable than the last, and along with them, the shaking, collapsing building from earlier instantly fell down!

The girl looked up, and damn, the building directly blocked out the sky and was falling towards her!

"I @#%¥%"

Damn! I can't dodge this!

The girl cursed wildly in her heart.

Then, looking at the building that had completely fallen and was impossible to avoid, the girl shouted out, giving up!

"Electromagnetic Barrier!!!"

A blue electromagnetic semicircle expanded around her, and then the entire building pressed down on it!

On the rooftop at this moment, Fang Ran, tightly gripping the railing, truly and genuinely understood what it felt like to ride a roller coaster without a seatbelt. However, what Fang Ran wanted to say at this moment was...

Damn it! Why did this building also collapse just like that!!!!

This is unscientific!

Could it be that wherever I go, things collapse?

A terrifying possibility appeared in Fang Ran's mind, and then he watched the ground gradually approach, as if it were flying up to hit his face!

"Ahhhh!!! I'm going to die!!!"

Fang Ran roared out righteously, then firmly denied it in his heart!

No! Baby absolutely cannot be someone who makes things collapse wherever they go!

The building collapsed, and the rooftop section was about to hit the ground. At that moment, Fang Ran should be no different from a cake that had fallen on the ground.

Perhaps he would be a little more intact.

But at the last moment, the second before the rooftop hit the ground, Fang Ran saw a tall figure step out, pull out something, and roar out in a man's voice!

"Moon Power, Protect!"

Brilliant light suddenly spread out, protecting the two of them!!

The light trembled violently and then suddenly erupted with a burst of energy! It repelled all the flying debris and the explosion!

Then, from a completely buried pile of rubble not far away, the girl's figure, covered in dust, just crawled out of the ruins when she saw the dazzling, eye-stinging light rushing towards her!

Until the very end, she only had time to look up at the culprit, and then she felt that figure seemed familiar.

Finally, the confident girl also successfully met her end.

This story tells us that even if you are prepared for everything, you cannot be too confident.

Because fate is sudden, and you never know what unexpected trouble is waiting for you ahead. (Serious face)
