Crack—!!!

With one punch, several faces are pierced through.

Splat—!!!

When she kicks, burst-out organs stain the bright yellow carpet disgustingly.

Boom—!!!

When she steps with her heel, the bodies of those who had fallen are split in half.

Truly a monster.

The goblin body that humans could not dare to match turned the organization building’s hall into a scene of massacre.

Every time dozens of organization members died, the elevator sound rang again and another dozen filled in, but the result was the same.

The knives and swords they wielded could not wound Neon’s body, which had raised nearly 80% of her strength, and the result of blocked attacks returned in the form of death.

“Fuck… Fuck, this is just a monster!!!”

“Save me! Please save me…”

“Aaaaargh!!!!!”

In front of Neon’s strength where logic did not apply, the organization members’ screams rang out.

Inside the hall where people crying out wanting to live and fleeing while shedding tears were pouring out.

However, Neon did not let even a single person live inside the hall.

If a screaming organization member rushed at her, she crushed their neck, and if there were organization members trying to escape through windows or the entrance, she prioritized dealing with them.

And how long had it been since she swung her fist filled with anger while taking in the faces of each person like that?

Thud–!

“Haaah…”

With a dull sound, the last organization member on the first floor collapses and turns into a corpse.

Then Neon, covered in blood all over her body, kicked the corpse of the fallen organization member and began climbing the stairs piled with corpses.

“…It’s in the way.”

The haphazardly piled corpses blocked the way up, but she continued up the stairs, bursting them by stepping on them with strength in her feet.

Climbing the stairs wet with blood, she arrived at the 2nd floor of the hall.

There, Neon looked at a huge man sitting on the floor with a resigned expression among corpses that had burst somewhere.

“Unexpected? You’re not running away?”

“Kehe… You were beating up those trying to run first… How could I have the courage to run after seeing that? Besides, my feet are in this state, so I can’t run anyway.”

The huge man who had first ordered the organization members to break Neon’s limbs and bring her.

That huge man seemed to have been caught in Neon’s attack, as his two feet were torn to shreds like rags and he was unable to even run away.

And at his appearance and words that seemed to have already accepted death for that reason, Neon stared at him blankly for a moment and then opened her closed mouth.

“If you tell me where fath… no, where that human is, I’ll let you live. You’re not someone who remains in my memory anyway.”

“…!”

For a moment, the huge man’s eyes shone at Neon’s words.

Hope that he might be able to live flickered in his eyes that had accepted death.

The hope that he could safely return alive from this mountain of corpses circled the huge man’s mind.

And the moment he recalled that possible future, the huge man’s deliberation was short.

“…8th floor, in the fitness room. It’s the upper floor that’s well soundproofed, dustproof, and secure, so the boss probably doesn’t know about this situation.”

“You betray him right away? I thought you might keep your mouth shut out of duty as a subordinate.”

“Kaha! Since the organization members have been annihilated like this anyway, the Hyeonhwa organization is finished, so why would I be afraid of the boss? I need to survive first. And the boss will probably die by your hands anyway.”

“Is that so?”

At the huge man’s words, Neon nodded while letting out an indifferent nasal sound.

Even at that small action, the huge man trembled in fear, but since he had really given an answer, Neon had no intention of killing him, so she turned her feet and walked towards the elevator.

He didn’t seem to be lying, but whether it was true or false, she just had to go up and check for herself.

Therefore, Neon left one last word to the huge man looking at her with trembling eyes as she got on the elevator.

“I’ll let you live as promised, so try to escape well on your own.”

“…Thank you.”

Clank—

The huge man’s quiet words of gratitude were heard.

Immediately after, the doors of the elevator Neon had boarded closed and it slowly began to ascend.

Towards the 8th floor where Cha Baek-gi would be.

---

“Let’s end this quickly since there’s no time.”

The girl’s cheeky words echoed leisurely through the alley.

Raje glared at the girl while still not lowering her guard, and the girl did not move from her spot as if telling her to come quickly.

And in that moment of confrontation that arose, what broke this glass-like precarious standoff and moved first was none other than the entrance keeper Raje had brought.

“You little brat… Don’t run your mouth carelessly!!”

Patter patter—!

The entrance keeper who rushed out at a very fast speed from behind Raje to in front of the girl.

Indeed, it was a movement as fast as an upper C-rank hunter befitting someone implanted with the ‘artificial enhancement mana stone’ given equally to organization members.

“I’ll kill you!”

And the entrance keeper swung his sword towards the girl’s head, using that running speed.

A sword strike that would surely split the skull and divide the head in half if not avoided.

But of course, there was no way the girl would take it nonchalantly.

“Hmm… I have nothing to say to you.”

“What…?!”

Whoosh—!

The girl who avoided the entrance keeper’s sword just by lightly tilting her head.

Immediately after, the girl swung the club she was holding and in turn struck the entrance keeper’s head.

A club swung just enough to make a light metallic sound. But the result was by no means light.

“Move aside a bit.”

“…Huh?”

Splat—!

With a questioning death rattle, the entrance keeper’s head burst.

At the same time, blood spurting from the burst head dyed the alley walls red.

Eventually, the entrance keeper’s corpse collapsed with a splash onto the cold ground. Raje, who had been watching that series of scenes, stepped back slightly and narrowed her eyes.

“Wh-what…”

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to rush in quickly?”

“Kuh…!”

How could one rush in recklessly after seeing that death just now that was incomprehensible by common sense!

Raje wanted to shout like that at the girl’s nonchalant questioning, but she did not carelessly raise her voice.

Useless excitement was a catalyst for shortening one’s life in a fight where one’s life could fly away at any moment.

Instead, Raje quickly began wracking her brains based on the death she had just witnessed with her own eyes, though she couldn’t understand it.

‘Her head burst after being hit by that club. I don’t know if it’s an ability or just strength, but close combat with that bitch is dangerous…’

Although her physical abilities had increased dramatically after implanting the spirit clan’s gene mana stone, Raje’s strength was far behind compared to physical-type races.

Therefore, close combat entering the range of that dangerous club was truly suicidal.

Moreover, the power of the spirit clan came from merciless bombardment from a distance and dominance of the place using the surrounding environment.

Therefore, Raje, who had quickly made a judgment, drew out all the power available to her without letting her guard down in a time when she could no longer delay.

“All of you come out! We’ll bombard at once!”

[Piii!]

[Bii!]

[Shaaa!!]

[Riruru!]

Wind spirit, earth spirit, fire spirit, water spirit.

The spirits that Raje could currently handle most perfectly and that had higher affinity than any other spirits appeared behind Raje’s back.

And at Raje’s order, the spirits drew out the full power they could unleash and fired an all-out bombardment towards the girl in front.

“Die here, you rotten bitch!!!”

Boom—!!!

Wind sharp enough to tear flesh, rock hard enough to crush bones, sacred flame hot enough to burn the entire body, and rapid water strong enough to cut off limbs rushed towards the girl.

A powerful bombardment sufficient to half-kill even Cha Baek-gi, Raje’s own father.

Those flew aimed precisely at the girl without even a millimeter of error and.

“Pft…! How could you attack a goblin like this?”

Pang—!!!

All the elements dissipated and scattered into the air with just one hand gesture from the girl.

“Impossible!!!”

A shout that burst out unknowingly from Raje at that.

But the girl looked at Raje while tilting her head as if asking what the problem was.

“What? Don’t tell me you thought you could win by picking a fight with a goblin while handling nature?”

“G-goblin…? What nonsense is that…”

“I’m too lazy to explain that, so forget it. Anyway, spirit clan… Puhah! To think you’d borrow and use elemental manipulation from such bugs, you must be quite weak creatures.”

Raje burst out in question at the girl’s nonsensical words saying she was a goblin, but the answer that came back from the girl was just a word dismissing it as bothersome.

After that, the girl’s sneering and words that seemed to look down on the spirit clan while muttering incomprehensible things.

“I don’t know what the hell you’re saying, but…!”

[Siii!]

[Kuriri!]

And seeing the girl talking to herself like that, Raje called out even the light spirit and dark spirit, whose affinity was not very high, and prepared to attack again.

Unable to believe that her attack had been nullified by such a girl whose identity she didn’t even know, she prepared for another all-out attack.

“This time properly…”

That was Raje’s foolish choice fallen into panic, and what Raje should have chosen when the girl was talking to herself was flight without looking back.

Although that possibility was infinitely low, if she had the desire to keep her life, she should have attempted to flee even if it was ugly, even if she had to crawl on the ground.

However, Raje stupidly chose to attack the girl again, and that returned to Raje as the worst future.

Boom—!!!!!

“This time I’ll kill you for sure!!!”

An all-out bombardment of all spirits fired at the girl, with even light and darkness mixed in.

Six streams of bombardment pour down aiming at the girl, emitting a momentum that could not be ignored.

If this hit directly, it would probably have enough power to take the life of anyone, no matter who the opponent was.

But unfortunately.

“Karma fire.”

Whoosh—!!!!!

“Huh…?”

Raje could not witness the scene of the girl losing her life.

Just before the bombardment reached her, along with the girl’s muttering, pure white flames that burst out like an explosion swallowed up everything in the area.

The elements of the spirits that tried to pierce through the girl, the alley walls, and finally Raje herself standing in front.

“Sa-save…”

In the moment just before death, without even time for her life to flash before her eyes, Raje’s body became fuel for the pure white flames and was engulfed in the fire.

All Raje could feel in her last moment was just the sensation of her entire body burning to ashes and the sound of ignition that tore her eardrums.

What remained afterwards was only Raje’s flesh that had turned into a handful of ashes.

And even that scattered here and there, swept away by a powerless wind.

In the end, left alone on the alley, the girl put on the hat that had somehow appeared in her hand again and leisurely moved her steps.

“As I heard, the slum guys were nothing special.”

Only the girl’s voice, not hiding her revealed disappointment, quietly fell on the flames on the ground.
