Defeated: The Green Cat in the Dungeon (Continued)
With a sudden, sharp shout, the ferocious monster instantly pierced through the woman's spine.
The sharp, exposed body, with its terrifying, almost supernatural posture, sent chills down one's spine!
A pure monster!
This is a monster far surpassing all the orcs in the world!
It absolutely could not have been the result of natural evolution!
After appearing, Mon2tr let out a low growl.
In the blink of an eye, it covered a distance of more than ten meters between the two people, and its sharp claws instantly broke through the barrier of air, heading straight for Maria's chest!
Regardless of who Maria really is or how she appeared before her, Kal'tsit has decided that she will not let anyone stop her from moving forward!
Is this your choice?
Maria squinted, showing no fear despite the sudden attack from the person in front of her.
After slightly dodging her opponent's sudden attack, Maria threw a punch!
Although she had already withdrawn her power, the monster in front of her was clearly still struggling to resist this inhuman strength.
As his body flew backward, there were even signs of it cracking!
Kal'tsit's eyes widened in shock at this sight!
That's impossible!
This world... this Terra...
When did people like this come into the world?!
After a moment of silence, Kal'tsit gritted her teeth.
She reached out and quickly repaired Mon2tr's wound, her eyes fixed on Maria in front of her.
Who exactly are you?
"... That's not important, ma'am."
After realizing that the other person did not yet know her, Maria's emotions gradually calmed down.
Although the two may indeed have some interaction in the future, that's a matter for the future.
Now that she represents the Sarkaz, she must prioritize the interests of the Sarkaz.
"Is it you who connected the current Allied Forces of nations?"
Maria's tone was calm, but Kal'tsit's brows were furrowed.
She has walked this land for so many years that she herself has lost count.
She had seen countless outstanding soldiers who had grown up on this land... including some who even made her feel a chill.
But the question remains: where did this Maria suddenly appear from?
When I chose to attack the Sarkaz, I should have already investigated all the targets within the Sarkaz that I needed to be wary of.
But she didn't see any news about Maria.
She seemed to appear out of thin air... yet she possessed a power that even she found astonishing.
"You're not Sarkaz?"
Kal'tsit frowned.
Now that things had come to this, she couldn't think of any other reason to explain Maria's existence.
But...
He's not Sarkaz, yet he's helping the Sarkaz?
"You've chosen the wrong path; your vision only allows you to see a limited portion of what's in front of you..."
Kal'tsit issued a warning.
"Leave as soon as possible; you still have a chance to embrace your future..."
"You know what, Ms. Kal'tsit? I don't like people who talk strangely."
Maria didn't say much in response to Kal'tsit's inexplicable words. She just glanced at the monster in front of her a few times and put away her Threaded Cane.
After just one punch, she was certain that her weapon was not as hard as her opponent's body.
The only option left is to use fists.
"Besides, I don't think my future will be as you say... I don't even know what my future will be like."
Maria spoke as she slowly approached Kal'tsit in front of her.
Clearly, neither side intends to back down.
Kal'tsit seized the opportunity to ask a question with a furrowed brow.
"Who sent you? Was it the Demon King?"
"... You've already killed the Demon King, haven't you?"
"Forehead..."
"So it really is you..."
Seeing Kal'tsit's body stiffen slightly, Maria knew she was right.
Why would you do this, Kal'tsit?
Maria asked casually, continuing to approach.
The two people were no more than five meters apart...
"Don't place your hopes on others... and don't expect your enemies to obediently tell you their actions like a megaphone."
As Maria approached, Kal'tsit felt immense pressure.
She gritted her teeth and suddenly issued a command to the dark green monster beside her!
"Mon2tr!"
"Aww--!"
With a low growl, the monster floating in the air suddenly shuddered.
A faint reddish stream of air instantly shot out from its body, making its already ferocious form seem to grow even larger!
It charged at Maria once again!
But Maria only frowned.
"Bang!"
There was no hesitation, and no fancy techniques.
Maria simply threw a punch with absolute speed and power.
Like a cannonball striking head-on, the force instantly pinned the ferocious monster to the ground!
Its body surface began to crack!
"Tsk..."
Kal'tsit's expression turned grim upon witnessing this.
Especially when she noticed that Maria hadn't suffered any damage, she realized something was wrong...
Without a second thought, she immediately chose to run away!
Maria's identity will have to be investigated further later.
Her primary goal now is to protect herself.
If she were to have even the slightest problem, the entire Allied Forces force would be affected!
As for Mon2tr, we'll have to consider that later.
"... It's meaningless."
Maria sighed softly as she watched Kal'tsit's retreating figure.
Clearly, both of them are extremely conservative and would never reveal any information to each other.
Since that's the case... then there's nothing more to discuss!
In Flash Step, Maria was already in front of Kal'tsit!
The sudden appearance of the figure made Kal'tsit's heart skip a beat.
But she didn't panic because of the unexpected event. Instead, she turned around and picked up the longsword that she had originally used as decoration.
In an instant, it stabbed towards Maria's neck!
But clearly, in such a short time, she still didn't have a clear impression of Maria's speed and strength...
Ignoring the longsword that was about to pierce her neck, Maria reached out and grabbed Kal'tsit by the neck, lifting her up!
"I'm not keen on committing too much pointless killing. You should honestly choose to give up, Lady Kal'tsit."
"Forehead..."
Kal'tsit, who was being forcibly lifted up, instinctively reached out and grabbed Maria's arm.
But Maria's speed was astonishing, and her strength far exceeded her comprehension.
Her arms, which appeared slender and soft, were as if cast in steel. Even with all her strength, she couldn't pry open even a single finger of the other person's!
The air in my lungs is getting less and less...
"Mon2tr..."
In the midst of this hardship, Kal'tsit once again summoned her monster.
At that moment, Maria suddenly heard the sound of a storm hitting from behind.
Unfortunately, such speed was still unremarkable for Maria.
Maria turned around and grabbed him with her bare hands.
Amidst the stunned gazes of both sides, Maria clenched her arms without hesitation!
Then...
BOOM!
The sturdy claws shattered instantly...
"How could this be?!"
This time, Kal'tsit's eyes really widened.
Especially after Maria shifted her gaze, she felt even more puzzled.
Cracking the armor of a Mon2tr is one thing, but... crushing a body with bare hands is another!
What exactly happened to Maria?
Pure power...
How could someone like that even exist in this world?!
Is there anything in this world that I've overlooked?!
But clearly, Maria wouldn't give her a chance to think about it.
Under her puzzled gaze, Maria raised her hand...
Then...
Bang!
"Forehead!"
The slender fingers pierced her abdomen without hesitation.
Kal'tsit could clearly feel the foreign object squeezing her internal organs.
The bizarre sensation made her tense and tremble.
Then...
