Before them, Fiona was half-kneeling on the ground, panting, with her sword planted in the earth. Her leather armor was streaked with blood and split in many places. About ten meters away, the humanoid monster was laughing wildly.
Had the 【Blood Sword Maiden】 really been driven onto the defensive? This monster was way too strong!
The branch director knew that if he fought Fiona, he wouldn’t last more than a dozen exchanges before losing. They were worlds apart in both speed and strength. They were both A-Rank adventurers, but Fiona had the potential to become an S-Rank adventurer.
“Fiona, hang in there! We’re here to help!” The giant axe in the branch director’s hands was suddenly wrapped in fierce currents of air, as if a small tornado had formed around it. He charged forward and hurled it straight ahead. The three-meter-long axe shot out, a horizontal tornado hurtling toward the laughing humanoid monster.
This was the branch director’s pride and joy: his 【Storm Axe】 skill, earned through years of hard work and practice.
The horizontal tornado was two meters across, surging forward with unstoppable force. It tore apart the surrounding ground and ruined buildings, revealing its terrifying power.
The axe struck the humanoid monster with unstoppable force and pierced straight through its body, as if it had killed it in one hit.
“Watch out! Defend yourselves! That thing doesn’t get hurt!” Fiona took the chance to escape the monster’s attack range and shouted toward the branch director.
Most of the buildings around them had been destroyed, but one still stood: the inn she’d been guarding behind her. She’d hidden Ye Su upstairs, and throughout the more than ten minutes of fighting, she’d kept protecting the building.
Sweat now ran down her beautiful, coolly striking face.
This was the most troublesome monster she’d ever faced. It didn’t have the kind of overwhelming destructive power that made you despair, but its downright unfair physique sent chills through her. She’d used Blood Prison who knew how many times, and could feel her strength draining away—yet her enemy still seemed completely fine.
Could the gods really have given monsters the power of immortality?
Fiona’s face twisted with hatred. Her resentment kept rising, and bloodlust surged through her. Suddenly, her body felt light, and strength filled her from head to toe.
LEVEL UP!
She’d leveled up. As a Blood Knight, she didn’t yearn for Light; she held the Sword of Judgment in her own hands. Hatred and resentment could both become experience points for her. And with each level-up, her stats were restored to full, bringing her strength back once more.
Disdain filled her heart, bringing back the memory of that bloody afternoon.
If there really are gods, why would they give that kind of monster such power? If only they’d given that power to me, then that thing never would’ve happened...
Her eyes began to turn bloodshot, and her hair turned blood-red. Fiona’s stats were now rising rapidly.
Upstairs, Ye Su had been watching the situation closely. His eyes narrowed as his GM Class scanned everyone’s status screens.
Big Sis Fiona had leveled up, and at the same time, she’d gained a new skill: 【Weeping Blood】.
