Chapter 106

Why... do they have to rush up?

... And... the movements are so slow.

Are they really planning to be our enemy...?

Skadi sidestepped the first thug who approached her.

At the same time, she raised her hand, bent her arm, and delivered a direct elbow strike that sent her opponent flying against the wall.

The walls made a dull thud, followed by the sound of bones cracking.

"Oh no... I think I still used too much strength."

She glanced at the thugs who were rushing forward one after another, sighed, and then took a step forward. Before the latter could even react, Skadi grabbed her sleeve and threw it like a bowling ball at the thugs who were crowding together and rushing forward in front of her.

Bump!!

"Ugh... damn it... is this woman a monster...?"

"Damn it... it hurts..."

"Boss... should we retreat...?"

"Shut up! There's only one person... there's only one person... can't you all attack together?!"

"Etc..."

The leader suddenly narrowed his long, slanted eyes and quietly looked at Skadi.

"You can't beat me."

The latter stood still and slightly moved his wrist.

It's so uncomfortable. This feeling of deliberately suppressing her strength makes her worry about accidentally killing someone.

"Hmph, little girl, you think you're so tough?"

"... Not very good at fighting."

Skadi thought for a moment. In terms of skill, she couldn't beat the captain; in terms of speed, she couldn't match the Shark captain.

She originally thought she was stronger than the Shark.

But now that the Shark has Zuo Jian... I reckon even two more of them wouldn't be enough to defeat Shark...

Thinking about it carefully, she does seem to be the worst one right now.

The Orca sighed, lamenting its lack of combat power.

"Hmph, let me tell you, you think you're so tough? What good is being tough! What good is brute force in this world?!"

"Ah... I already said I'm not that good at fighting--"

"Let me tell you! Here, my methods far exceed your imagination... Rat!! Attack!!"

The gang leader suddenly yelled!

At the same time, the blonde girl next to her also noticed something was wrong and quickly shouted a warning.

Watch out behind you!

Skadi was a little stunned by the two shouts, but the next moment, a chill ran down her spine. Her instincts, honed by her hunting skills, told her in an instant that danger was imminent!

"Too late! We got it..."

The thug nicknamed "Rat" has always been proud of his ability to conceal his presence, despite the fact that such Originium Arts are extremely costly.

Physical strength is required, and the Originium medium needed for each spellcasting is quite valuable.

But because of this, he used this ability to get rid of many troublesome guys for the leader.

The back is always the weakest point in a person's defenses.

However, just as he was secretly pleased, the woman suddenly stomped her foot on the ground, and in an instant, a crack appeared in the cement floor.

Skadi's skills, honed by her captain, came into play in an instant.

Almost instinctively, she clenched her fist, and at the same time, an unimaginable force erupted from her seemingly slender muscles!

The Rat almost shuddered. At that moment, he felt that the other person was not a woman at all, but a walking human tsunami!

In a daze, he even saw what seemed like a gigantic wave crashing towards him!

I'm going to die... die... I'm definitely going to die!

That punch would leave him without a trace!

Die! Die! No! No! No!

There's no escaping it!

The pressure of death caused the Rat's blood to circulate rapidly throughout its body in an instant, its heart beating as fast as if it were being encased in a steam oven!

He can't dodge it, he simply can't dodge it! There's no time to adjust his body movements now!

You'll die!

No! No!

There's no other way; the only feasible method right now is... to continue this offensive posture!

Hurry! Hurry! As long as you get the knife into the victim's body first, the poison on the knife will take effect instantly!

Faster! Faster!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

For the first time under such desperate oppression, the man known as the Rat unleashed astonishing strength.

He gripped the dagger tightly with both hands, roared, and plunged the tip of the blade into Skadi's chest!

He's there! He's hit the mark! Damn it, he won...

...?

The feeling of joy lasted only a moment before he realized that the knife tip had pierced the fabric... and was firmly stuck on the surface of the other person's skin.

Is that really human skin?! The blade tip barely penetrated a tiny spot, probably less than a millimeter deep!!

How... is that possible...

The Rat watched in despair as those fists swung towards it with tremendous force. In a daze, it even saw its old man, who had been dead for several years, smiling at it.

"Oops! I unconsciously used too much force!"

At the same time, Skadi cried out inwardly, feeling a little sad.

She didn't want to kill people indiscriminately, especially in a city like this; it might cause trouble for Shark and Zuo Jian.

And... couldn't that guy have dodged a little?! Why did he have that serene expression?!

Seeing this, Skadi, who had already lost control of her strength, could only try to shift the position of her punch.

Finally! Before the Rat's wide-eyed eyes, the opponent's fist flew past its cheek!

At the same time, a burning pain appeared on my cheek, as if someone had cut me there.

However, Skadi's fist didn't even touch him.

Then... everyone saw that, in that instant, Skadi's fist went astray and smashed directly into the concrete brick wall on the side of the alley!

"Boom!!!!"

A tremendous roar and billowing dust suddenly erupted all around.

Everyone stared wide-eyed as the smoke and dust cleared.

The Rat knelt on the ground, looking dazed, as if it had been terrified.

The wall behind them, which had been intact, now had a huge hole smashed through it!

Holy crap! This is unbelievable!?

What the hell is that monster?!

Those walls are standard Victoria cast-in-place concrete, reinforced with steel bars for added stability.

And now... it was shattered by a single punch?!

Is this even human?!

In an instant, everyone took two steps back in fear, not even daring to imagine how many pieces of human tissue they would be turned into if that punch landed on someone.

What? You're saying that a move with such power might not be able to be used a second time?

Let's all work together, now's our chance!

Are you kidding me? We're not stupid. Who the hell wants to gamble their life on something like this?

What if I go in and get blasted to pieces the next second?

"You... you..."

"Monster!!!"

Someone shouted something, and then the large group of thugs scattered in all directions. Some even threw two smoke bombs at Skadi, and while she was choking, they dragged away the Rat kneeling next to her.

"Cough cough... It's so choking..."

Skadi waved her hand, dispersing the surrounding smoke.

Then, they discovered that apart from the blonde girl, there was no one else around.

Wow, they were so fast! Their escape speed reminded her of the speed at which hunters assembled during training...

Why are you so skilled at running away?

Suppressing her inner doubts, Skadi turned to look at the somewhat dazed blonde girl beside her.

"Are you alright?" She asked, somewhat curious, noticing the arrow in the other person's shoulder.

He asked.

"Thank you... I didn't... um..."

She finished speaking, then suddenly her expression changed...

She appeared somewhat unsteady; in fact, if it weren't for the hammer supporting her, she probably would have collapsed to the ground.

"Damn... was the arrow poisoned...? No wonder those guys were so confident..."

Perhaps they themselves never imagined... that before the poison could even take effect, it would be intercepted by this white-haired woman who appeared out of nowhere.

Are you really alright?

"I... I'm fine... it's just..."

"Oh."

Skadi nodded, then turned and left.

"?"

The blonde girl froze, staring at Skadi's retreating figure.

"Um... sorry... I actually still have a bit..."

My body swayed precariously, and my vision began to blur.

Having no other option, she had to ask the other party for help.

However, Skadi quickly turned back to her and said something.

"By the way, do you know where I can buy breakfast nearby? I need to buy some—"

"Thump."

Before she could finish speaking, the blonde girl collapsed to the ground.

"...?"

Skadi stared blankly at the large golden cat lying on the ground before her... for a moment, unsure of what to say.

"Didn't you say you were fine...?"
