The high-pitched voice echoed across the battlefield.
The female captain's eyes widened.
"It really is..."
"...the Night Empress."
The rumors had spread throughout Japan. A mysterious female Awakened wearing an oversized hoodie. A baseball cap. Appearing only at night.
Destroying Gates alone before vanishing without a trace.
No guild, identity or recordings. Only a blurry clip of a figure managed to be caught.
Many believed the stories were exaggerated.
Looking at the person before her... the captain realized the rumors hadn't exaggerated anything.
They had underestimated her.
BOOM!!
The first Serpent Worm lunged.
Before anyone could even react...
[Shadow Step.]
The hooded figure disappeared.
A silver flash streaked across the battlefield.
SHING!!
The worm split cleanly into two pieces. Green blood erupted into the air.
Ding!
[Host has killed a C-Rank Serpent Worm!]
[+41 EXP.]
Before the corpse even hit the ground...
[Shadow Step.]
Another flash.
SHING!!
