Chapter Index

    06’s fist pushes Anna’s sword.

    At this, she immediately twisted the sword and drained his power.

    A man who is thrown forward by a punch.

    Anna elbowed him as he approached her.

    “Oh my!”

    06 is giving off an indifferent vibe.

    His crushed mind is trembling.

    “It hurts!”

    He kicked Anna right in the face.

    A skilled killer will block that foot by straightening his blade.

    But I was pushed back by such a strong force.

    Perhaps it was the friction that had been pushed away, but heat was rising from her shoes.

    06 didn’t miss that moment.

    The man rushed at the confused killer and threw a strong punch.

    Anna didn’t fight back against the punch this time, but instead backed away again and again.

    “Why don’t you rush at me like before? Are you scared now?”

    The killer made no reply to his provocation.

    Instead… I hold the longsword in a fencing position and keep my distance from him.

    Her target is the limbs.

    If you throw a punch, your arm will break.

    If you chase me, I’ll cut off your legs.

    06 grits his teeth in a tricky street fight.

    He threw his whole body and approached Anna in an instant.

    In the process, his side and arms are badly cut, but he eventually manages to grab Anna’s shoulder.

    “You idiot, did you think I was just getting hit because I was tall?”

    The guy, confident of victory, grabbed his shoulder hard and put all his strength into his other fist.

    And the moment he swings it at Anna’s face.

    She dropped her longsword and bent down as if collapsing.

    Instead, he takes out two daggers from his pocket, crossing them.

    Her night technique finally began.

    The daggers he held with both hands were thrust into his ribs on either side.

    1, 2, 3.

    Black blood spurts out from 06’s mouth as the blade stabs through the gaps.

    He swings his fists to somehow get her off.

    But the moment Anna had already escaped from 06.

    His body had already become a rag.

    Blood flowing like oil.

    In the past, I got what I had done to Jisoo back in return.

    Plus, a subtle numbness that comes and goes every time you feel pain.

    At that moment 06 felt it.

    Anna’s level is on a whole other level.

    As a ranker, he has also faced numerous strong opponents.

    However, Anna has a completely different style from the double-digit rankers we’ve met so far.

    If duels with other rankers felt like a PvP game where you take turns one at a time.

    Anna feels like she’s dealing with a killer.

    No matter how much you block and hold out, you will never have time to attack again.

    If you swing your arms forcefully, your body will be torn apart like a rag.

    Movements solely for the purpose of killing the opponent.

    The moment he realized that fact, he felt afraid.

    Is this me feeling afraid…?

    His cheekbones tremble.

    I raised all stats by 20…!

    His upper body is shaking.

    Soon, a red light begins to linger around the tattoo on his shoulder.

    The light soon became a voice and lingered in 06’s head.

    “Representative…?”

    “Kill Anna.”

    The command of the subordinates seized his body.

    06, who was shocked by this, looked at Anna with a frightened expression.

    But he wasn’t scared of Anna.

    What’s more frightening than Anna is the orders of her subordinates.

    Something that cannot be broken even if one wants to.

    That was Shin-ae’s ability.

    “You can definitely do it right now.”

    “…”

    It’s the devil’s whisper.

    I can’t believe that at all.

    We need to catch her right now, make her stand in front of Anna, and ask her to say it again.

    Then, Mother will surely go back on her words.

    But there is nothing he can do since he has been branded with the stigma of a member of the clan.

    I just have to follow.

    He quickly took a glass bottle out of his pocket.

    And then he starts to pour the medicine into his palm.

    My palms were shaking so much that half the pill fell out.

    But he didn’t care.

    He simply follows the orders of his subordinates and shoves the pills into his mouth.

    The sound of chewing pills resonates loudly.

    Anna looks at the sight with displeasure.

    “Relying on drugs. It seems like Korean rankers aren’t like they used to be.”

    At her words, 06 smiles bitterly.

    He says, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

    “I have to do this to beat you.”

    “The order has been given to kill you.”

    Anna let out a short breath at his words.

    And then he asked softly.

    “You me?”

    “I can’t help it. If I can’t kill you, I’ll die.”

    He swallowed a lot of the drugs and curled up.

    His body begins to swell and turn red.

    Red smoke rises like an engine.

    Soon, his face becomes so tense that it feels like it might burst, and he looks only at one person.

    A woman who must be killed.

    To Anna.

    The muscle fibers of 06 protrude through the skin and stand out.

    The muscles are tightly coiled in a spiral shape, resembling steel bars.

    The first human being.

    Spiral muscles, developed only through countless battles and training, covered his entire body.

    06, having overcome another limitation, bent his knees as before.

    But his movements were very different.

    As his feet press against the ground, the ground begins to sink.

    yet.

    As 06 bounced off like a spring, the ground he had stepped on was completely scorched as if an earthquake had occurred.

    His fist, ripping through the air, lands on Anna’s stomach.

    Then her skin twisted into a spiral and she flew away into the forest.

    The sound of trees breaking is heard countless times.

    Soon Anna’s body fell to the ground and thick smoke rose up.

    It’s a perfect remedy.

    But 06 wasn’t satisfied with this.

    You have to do your best.

    To survive.

    He jumped straight into the air and stamped his feet into the smoke.

    A huge foot strikes the ground like a hammer in the 06.

    Soon the ground he had touched split apart in all directions as if an earthquake had occurred.

    In that split second, Anna came to her senses and barely managed to twist her body to avoid the blow.

    The number of pills 06 took was at least 10.

    06, whose all stats exceeded 100, was no longer within the human category.

    Anna raised her twisted body and cut the bastard’s ankle with her dagger.

    But not a single drop of blood came out of the crack.

    His blood was coagulated as if it were hardened.

    Even the blood is hardened like that of an ancient man who fought in many great wars.

    “Ha. Did your mother have an idea after all?”

    He mutters as he looks at Anna, who staggers to her feet.

    The daggers she dropped are rolling around on the floor.

    “He must have ordered us to fight since we have a chance of winning.”

    The lower part of Anna’s sleeveless top was completely torn.

    Her bruised abdomen is clearly visible.

    In comparison, 06 relaxed his stiff neck.

    I easily overcame the stat increase of Mabishan’s poison.

    Anna wiped the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand.

    She is dazed at the sight of the blood droplets for the first time in a long time.

    “What an idiot that year. With such incredible abilities, he makes cocktails.”

    Her blurry eyes sparkle again at the two letters of the name, Siho.

    06 continues to say what he wanted to say, whether it be so or not.

    “If that girl had made you this kind of medicine, you would probably be ranked number one. Maybe even number one in the world.”

    The first humans leisurely folded their arms as if enjoying the effects of medicine.

    Anna stares at him blankly.

    Then, as if he realized something, the corners of his mouth rose.

    Her one word, mixed with laughter.

    “That’s funny.”

    At that moment, the first human frowned.

    Even though she’s injured, her arrogant attitude really annoys me.

    “What is this…?”

    “Do you think the reason Siho didn’t give me a buff is because I’m stupid?”

    06, curious about what she would say next, lifted his chin up.

    “Then, what is it?”

    As if answering her question, Anna pulled out her longsword again.

    And this time, he held it firmly with both hands, not just one.

    “Because I don’t need any buffs.”

    Thick smoke billows violently.

    Anna got out of it before the particles could spread.

    And then he swings his sword towards 06’s side.

    The primordial humans snicker at that sight.

    He took the attack head on and raised his fist into the air in return.

    The sharp blade dug into his side.

    Here, if she wants to avoid 06’s fist, she has to drop her sword and escape.

    Originally targeting Anna’s weapon, he tightened the muscles on his side to keep the sword from slipping out.

    And then he slammed his fist down.

    However, the fist did not reach Anna.

    Even her sword couldn’t be sharpened.

    Anna, who had thrust the sword in, spun around with the handle to avoid the punch.

    The rotation left his side deeply punctured here and there.

    He becomes anxious and quickly grabs her to force her into a ground fight.

    But even if you catch it, it easily escapes by spinning in the direction you caught it.

    “Are you embarrassed?”

    Anna asked, leisurely drawing her sword.

    06, whose side was throbbing, quickly took a step back.

    “What’s the use of receiving a buff? I don’t even know how to use it properly.”

    Anna’s clouded eyes are slit open.

    06’s eyes flutter at her provocation, which he has never seen before.

    “This… insolent bitch!”

    06, who was cornered, focuses all his muscles on his fist.

    And then scream with all your might.

    He knew Anna would dodge his punches this time too.

    Because I figured out her pattern of dodging and digging in with her punches.

    When Anna was digging downwards, I thought of striking by raising my knee even if it meant breaking my muscles.

    But this time Anna did not dodge his overwhelming power.

    I raised my sword again like before and took his punch straight at him.

    “How stupid…! I was pushed back by just 2 eggs!”

    Fists and blades clashed again.

    The leaves split by themselves at the sound of that murderous noise.

    “Do you think you can handle today!”

    The forearms of the first humans swell up to a grotesque size.

    I plan to destroy her body with the blade like this.

    The sword was completely bent like a bow.

    If you hold on like this, it will just break.

    But then.

    Anna doesn’t dodge and instead uses all her strength to hold onto the handle.

    Then the sword broke in half.

    The half-remaining blade crashes into 06’s neck with a strong recoil.

    And the blade, which was charged with not only Anna’s power but also his power, cut through 06’s neck.

    Very neatly.

    “—.”

    A huge body falls to the floor.

    The sound was so loud that even the birds that had nested far away flew up into the night sky.

    His head falls off and rolls around on the sand.

    Anna looked at that head silently for a moment.

    Soon, she thinks of something and quickly approaches the lump of 06.

    His body was shrinking at a rapid pace, making his once pumped-up appearance pale in comparison.

    As the body shrinks, white light flows out from the severed throat.

    Anna knows that light.

    The radiance of the Angelic Hand.

    The light fell to the ground and disappeared like melting snow.

    Before her fingers even touched it.

    “Sihoya…”

    Anna suddenly became anxious.

    I’m afraid that Siho will disappear like that light.

    That fear soon gave way to regret.

    I shouldn’t have killed that guy.

    I had to capture him somehow and ask him where Siho was.

    In the end, she made another mistake.

    The sword I hold shakes.

    Anna threw the half-sword away absentmindedly.

    The floor is filled with nothing but broken swords.
