Mary fought free of her restraints and kicked off the wall, flipping onto the roof.
With her healing ability countered by liquid nitrogen, she knew the battle was lost. A mysterious figure capable of breaking her Hidden Blade with a single dart still lurked in the shadows. If she stayed any longer, she would certainly die.
But Qin Wei had only dared to show himself because he was fully prepared. How could he let his opponent escape so easily?
The moment Mary flipped onto the roof, she ran into a wire net. Oswald poked his head out and sprayed liquid nitrogen at her with a sneer.
Startled, Mary fell from the roof, struck the wall, and bounced off into a pile of garbage in the corner.
She had barely climbed to her feet when a dark figure flashed before her eyes. She instinctively drew her dagger, only to be met with more liquid nitrogen! In an instant, her right arm froze as well. Under Qin Wei's powerful blow, the frozen limb shattered into a shower of bloody fragments.
By then, Mary was filled with despair, but her survival instinct still drove her to flee.
Then an utterly brutal scene unfolded.
The woman with severed arms ran through the dark alley, sobbing, while the Masked Villain pursued her relentlessly, spraying freezing vapor. Before long, her ankle froze solid and stuck to the ground, and her forward momentum tore it clean off.
Yet the villain had no intention of sparing her. He sprayed her knee repeatedly, then stomped down hard.
With a brittle crash, the woman dragged her sole remaining, mangled leg through the snow, struggling like a snake hauled out of its den on a winter night.
Hoarse sobs echoed through the alley.
Because of the electrum, Talons felt no pain.
