“You have good guts. I never thought they would do something like this against the religious order on this most sacred day.“

Xiao looked through the window and looked at the situation outside.

The fire that started from the entrance was spreading increasingly toward the church building.

The corpses of numerous church members were piled up in heaps in the lobby and various gates.

I thought I had already seen enough on the way here, but

When you see it up close rather than when you see it from afar.

The sight of this horrific terror struck her even more horribly.

“…Moreover, not even high-ranking priests, nor even other executives except me, will be able to enter this sanctuary…“

Xiao narrowed her eyes and looked at the figure of the man standing in front of her.

A black noise flickered across his face,

An assault rifle and a silver revolver were mounted on his waist and shoulders.

A confident spirit that doesn’t seem to tremble even when facing her.

And beyond the mask, there is an inexplicable hatred towards the church and the power to plan such a tragedy.

Xiao She also clenched her fists tightly, wary of the man in front of her.

Although the other colleagues who would have been with him were not visible.

The fact that he is left alone in this place right now,

A thought crossed my mind that maybe he had been waiting for me to show up all along.

“I thought we would eventually run into each other… but I didn’t expect it to come so soon. ■■.“

“You… seem to know of my existence. I never thought you even knew my name…“

When Han Seo-jin called her name, it appeared in the air and disappeared like dust.

Even in his field of vision, Xiao’s face and form were distorted, almost like a mosaic.

Perhaps thanks to his extrasensory skills, he knew right away that the person who appeared in front of him was Xiao.

“This place has a special magical power. Once the alarm is activated, the names and faces of the intruders are used to disturb them and discourage them. It is said that even the perception of existence begins to become distorted.“

“…So you don’t recognize me?“

Wow…

Xiao clenched his fists tightly and took a stance.

Then he exhaled and began to smile leisurely.

“It doesn’t matter what kind of being you are. Just one thing.“

Slurp…

Her red cloak blew in the wind,

Afterwards, the regime quickly flew toward his abdomen.

Boom—!

bang—-!

At that moment, the concrete floor rising from the ground appeared like a shield,

The area where she punched cracked hard and tore like a piece of paper.

“People like you who invade the sanctuary and harm the church must be eliminated.“

Thump…thud…

Xiao shook his hands, shaking the ash off his fists.

I adjusted my collar and quickly identified his location with my eyes.

“That…can be seen as my script and my mission.“

Clap—!

He immediately pulled the charging handle and checked the chamber.

Then he slowly raised the muzzle towards her.

“In the end, it was a fate that could not be avoided, ■■. But don’t worry, we only selected and dealt with the people who deserved to die.“

“Hmm… For a man, he’s quite capable. I’m not going to just treat him with moderation… I want you to fight with all your might. Intruder.“

Boom—!

Bang—Ta-tang—!

As she kicked the ground and bounced towards the ground,

Han Seo-jin immediately fired a gun at her as she flew into the air.

Chop—!

Boom—!

Xiao twisted his body, pulling his cloak as if he had expected it.

As soon as the bullet touched the red cloak, it bounced off violently and hit the wall.

bang—!

“Pfft…!“

As she slammed her fist straight into the spot where he was,

The black man immediately rolled to the left and narrowly avoided the attack.

Quagwagwang—!

“Hoo…your body is quite agile. Not a bad move.“

A strong explosion of black light occurred on the ground where she hit, and the ground began to shake.

She quickly launched a series of attacks against the intruder, who almost lost his balance.

bang—!

Pak—!

A hand blade that strikes vertically.

He blocked the attack with his huge shield and the sum was achieved.

Boom—!

Pot..!

bang—!

“Pfft…!“

Then, a low kick was sent to his shin.

Han Seo-jin flew into the air as if he had already read her movements,

He quickly kicked Xiao’s chin as he approached him.

However, with a speed so fast that the eye cannot follow it,

Xiao raised his arm with quick reflexes to block the attack.

Kak–! Kagagak—!

Sparks flew as her magic barrier clashed with the black dagger.

Unlike the enemies we had faced so far, the intruder was not pushed back by force.

Although her hands were bare, her fists were filled with powerfully concentrated magic power.

Like a blade forged with magic, sparks were flying every time the dagger struck.

While their powers were in a precarious balance, they faced each other.

Xiao smiled happily and looked at the dark-haired man.

“Well, with this level of skill, he could have done something like this against the religious order.“

“Do you have time to chat like this now?“

“Well, right now I’m not using my best.“

puck—!

She struck his wrist in an instant,

The dagger flew into the air and hit the ceiling hard.

Bang—Ta-tang—!

He quickly widened the distance, took out his revolver, and fired wildly.

Immediately, she raised the blade of her hand and struck the flying bullet horizontally.

The bullets bounced off all at once and the attack was instantly neutralized.

Cradangtang—!

“Pfft…!“

“Slow.”

Xiao immediately tackled him and knocked him to the floor.

He got on top of Han Seo-jin and started punching him mercilessly in the face.

bang—! Bang bang—! bang—!

Every time the fist was swung, a strong sound, like an explosion, rang out.

The black energy flowing from her heart was once again hitting him more powerfully.

Although the armor glowed intensely in rainbow colors and the magic barrier covering his entire body blocked the attack.

Each time she struck with her fist again and again.

The shield was gradually cracking with a cracking sound.

“Stop…do it…!“

“Ugh…!”

Uddangtang—!

While still mounted, he grabbed Xiao’s waist and immediately pounded him to the floor.

He then raised his dagger and struck her with all his might at the nape of her neck.

Kak—!

Xiao quickly dodged the attack by turning his face to the side.

The tip of the dagger narrowly grazed her cheek, leaving a scratch on the magic barrier.

For some reason, the blade passed by with a tremor as if hesitating.

If the blade had struck her right away, she could feel that she too was in danger.

And in that situation.

Xiao smiled leisurely and spoke softly while holding his collar.

“You’re a lot more clumsy than I thought. Is this your first time experiencing such close combat?“

“Damn…!”

Sigh—!

She smiled and pulled the nape of his neck with her legs.

“Keuuk…!“

“But I hope you don’t get the wrong idea. Looking at the situation just now…you are lower level than me. Probably…at the highest level, it would be level 3.“

“Don’t worry…I’ve defeated all of them so far…even those who are higher level than me…!“

Pak—!

He quickly roughly opened the legs of the woman who was strangling him,

He rolled towards the floor of the sanctuary and briefly widened the distance.

‘I…I didn’t want to use this…damn it…but if I do this, Xiao won’t get hurt…’

Xiao got up from the floor, crossed his arms, and looked at him.

It’s as if they deliberately let go of the game they’ve caught and watch it just for fun.

To see the full capabilities of the intruder,

It felt like she had been saving her true power until now.

Just—!

‘Damn…isn’t this really working…?’

Han Seo-jin tried to avoid the crisis by switching positions with Azur, but

Is it because of the curse and magic spell that has been placed on this place itself?

The blink skill targeting long distances seemed to be ineffective.

‘Level 4… Moreover, if it’s Xiao… he’s not an easy opponent… I don’t think we’ll be able to communicate…’

I am now, after all, an intruder.

Moreover, her sharp and cool gaze looking at him now,

Those eyes were staring at Han Seo-jin, as if they were ready to take his breath away at any moment.

If the situation didn’t change, Xiao would have to be eliminated someday.

It is a threat that was barely defeated in the past using wit and gambling skills.

However, she was an executive of an organization that was too powerful to completely hate and even ignore her.

Azur, Natasha, and even Marie.

Since we had peacefully captured the other executives so far, I thought it would be possible for Xiao as well.

The day I went on a date with her, I had a glimmer of hope.

This time, I would be able to be with her as a friend rather than an enemy.

But at the same time, I already knew that this day might come someday.

‘Damn it… Marie is going to be so angry…’

Han Seo-jin held the katana overflowing with flames and closed his eyes.

Then, he concentrated the magic flowing from his heart and began to spread it throughout his entire body.

Quad-duk—-Quad-duk—!

“If only I could protect you like this…ugh…!“

“Ho…this…is more interesting than I thought.“

Several magical arms began to grow from Han Seo-jin’s back,

It’s like the hideous appearance of a monster,

It started to grow more and more threatening.

The more he used demonization, the more his appearance became like a monstrous Asura.

Instead of the inexplicable aura of kindness that the intruder had been giving off until now,

Now he has simply turned into a vengeful demon full of destructive impulses.

“Is that…your true self? It’s pretty great. I have to admit this.“

“Cough…Haa…Ha…I’m just asking just in case, but you don’t plan on ending the conversation, right?“

“Heh, are you trying to surrender? Hmm… Even if you come and surrender now, it still won’t change the fact that you will die by my hands. It would just be an easy and quick death, though.“

Clink—-!

She simply broke the golden display case and stuck her hand inside.

Kang—!

Han Seo-jin, like her, swung a knife at the display case, but

For some reason, the katana bounced back without even a scratch.

“It’s no use. Even though I don’t know how you got in here, I’m the only one who can touch the display case.”

“Ugh…”

Xiao smiled and pulled out a sword displayed in the display case.

It was an ancient gladius that shined beautifully in golden light.

“Although it’s not a weapon I use often…but wouldn’t it be polite…to do my best in battle?“

“There’s no need to worry so much…!“

“Hehe, no need to decline. It’s just goodwill without compensation, don’t worry about it.“

Hiss—!

She quickly swung her sword and took a stance,

He then leaped towards him and quickly raised his gladius.

click—!

Numerous firearms were pulled out from the subspace and all took up firing positions.

Immediately, all guns started firing at her.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta—!

Bang—Bang—!

Tutututu—!

As bullets rain down,

She opened her eyes wide and followed the trajectory of the bullets with her eyes.

Then, it emits a more intense black energy than what has been shown so far,

I immediately swung my sword fiercely at him.

Kang—! Kagagagagang—!

‘This…is crazy…!’

She beautifully and beautifully blocked the bullets flying towards her with her sword,

Then, he kicked the last rocket fired upwards with his foot and sent it flying into the open ceiling.

bang—-!

An explosion occurred in the air, and the smell of gunpowder filled the sanctuary.

He quickly pulled out a katana that was sparkling with flames and took a stance.

“Work…!”

“It’s no use.”

Kang—!

As soon as Han Seo-jin put the sword into the scabbard, she immediately closed the distance.

Every time he tried to use a sword, Xiao stubbornly clung to his side.

After somehow gaining time with the slashing skill, I tried to lead the sword again and use a single slash,

In fact, if things continued like this, Xiao’s gladius, which was approaching, would pierce his torso.

Hiss—!

Grrr!

Boom—-!

As the flame-fluttering blade swung towards her,

Xiao dodged the attack with light movements and avoided the blade.

Whoosh— whoosh—!

Kang—! Kagak…!

Then, I fiercely swung my sword at him from various angles.

He began striking the sword in succession at a speed that was hard to believe was human.

Kang— Kaga River—!

‘shit…! I know it in my head, but my body can’t keep up…!’

Han Seo-jin consumed magic power to predict the future one second in advance and foresaw her next attack, but

I couldn’t help but be astonished by her attack speed that seemed to surpass human beings.

Just barely deflecting her blades,

It got to the point where there wasn’t even a chance to counterattack.

Bang—Ta-tang—!

Even if you occasionally fire bullets at her with your magical arms,

She raised her sword blade as if nothing had happened and deflected the flying bullet.

He even hit the last fired bullet of the revolver with the back of his hand,

I twisted my back and hit him hard with my elbow.

bang—-!

“Ugh…!”

“Why are you doing that? Are you staggering? “

“Kk…cough…! Cough…“

Blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth,

Without missing a beat, Xiao swung his sword fiercely at the arms growing behind his back.

Thong—-!

“Hoo…it’s holding up a lot longer than I thought.“

The large shield barely pulled out from subspace blocked the sword attack, but

Asura’s arms repeatedly trembled helplessly, as if they were paralyzed due to the previous attack.

“Haa…ha…haa…“

“I admit it. You have some pretty great skills. And the spirit just now…was about level 4. I’ve never seen such a sight before… “

“How about this…sigh…sigh…you’ve noticed that he’s not an ordinary person…let’s resolve it peacefully through dialogue…■■“

He was hunched over and breathing heavily.

As the magical power flowing out becomes stronger,

My body began to flinch, perhaps because it was receiving too much recoil.

However, Xiao corrected the gladius without blinking,

He raised his sword at him and spoke coldly.

“It’s just a moment’s entertainment, and letting you live goes against my script. And my belief is…“

Slurp—!

Her gladius was stained with black light and glowed more strongly,

Xiao spoke to him with an overwhelming and uniquely powerful spirit.

“No matter what happens, it won’t break. I wonder if you can even beat me.“

“…is this what happens in the end…“

Boom—!

He picked up the katana and took his stance again.

Then, in subspace, a blue elixir,

He poured red elixirs one by one over his head,

Increasingly intense colors were shining more intensely and I was catching my breath.

“Whether it was then or now, it hasn’t changed. The thing about being stubborn without an answer.“

“I would like it to be expressed that the will is strong.“

“Okay. It’s arbitrariness… and you save others’ lives on your own terms… but wouldn’t you cut off the arm of someone else’s precious comrade… “

“…?”

bang—-!

Red flames flickered along the path he swung, and the sword flew.

“You just have to win…Okay, it’s round 2. You better be prepared.“

“…I was just waiting for those words. I…I will remember you.“

With flames flickering like flames and armor full of frost.

His appearance changed like a cartoon.

Xiao smiled and swung his sword at him,

He too, with more powerful magic than before,

He countered her attack and started dividing the sum again.
