From the corner of her eyes, Lilith caught sight of the boss secretly moving in her direction, and she said.
”That won’t do. Let’s make things more fun, shall we?”
”Shadow Clone!”
Instantly another Lilith with dark hair appeared beside her, shocking the gang’s members.
Lilith’s shadow disappeared, and she went to fight against the boss while Lilith exchanged a few blows with the new gang member who appeared.
The woman wielded her rapier skillfully and performed several complicated thrusts intending to seal Lilith’s movements and allow the other gang members to attack her. Her rapier skills were incredibly precise, pinpointing the best place to attack with incredible accuracy. If Lilith didn’t have her spirit perception, she would have hard dodging so easily.
But before long, the woman’s face turned grave. She realized that despite giving her all, Lilith was still uninjured.
Furthermore, none of the gang members that attacked her was conscious. Every time someone attacked her, she would counterattack with a relaxed but decisive blow. As of now, tens of gang members lay sprawled on the ground, their life and death unknown with various degrees of injury.
The woman turned angry. Seeing Lilith’s relaxed expression and the bodies of her subordinates falling to the ground with each second, she desired nothing more than slice Lilith’s body into many pieces.
However, it was apparent that her skill was far from enough, which left her frustrated.
Lilith’s expression changed; her clone had been defeated; it seemed that the boss was more skilled than she had expected. Soon, she came attacking from behind and attacked with her sword covered in flame; she seemed to be a Fire attribute origin master.
However, before her flaming sword could touch Lilith’s neck, her silhouette blurred and disappeared suddenly. Then in the next moment, she appeared in front of the leader and slashed down with a backward grip. Scarlett shone with ominous red light like a snake about to swallow its prey.
“!!!” The leader opened her eyes in surprise, but she was a very experienced warrior. In an instant, she let go of her sword and leaned her body to the side closer to the ground, and with her other hand, she shot a fireball the size of a soccer ball at Lilith.
Everything happened too fast; Lilith should have been unable to avoid this attack, so she believed that her sister was attacking from behind, locking Lilith in one place.
However, Lilith slashed the fireball into two before her eyes shone red, and the boss’s expression changed.
“Ugh!”
Her body felt heavy, and she felt fear like never under those ominous red eyes reeking the apex predator scent. Fear invaded her body, freezing her limbs and rendering her helpless. Then, she felt a sharp pain in her gut.
“Gah!” The leader vomited a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, unconscious. The blow was too strong for her.
“Sister!” The rapier-wielding woman screamed in panic and threw herself toward Lilith in desperation, but Lilith parried her attack with Scarlett while using her other hand to attack her shoulder. The woman showed an expression of panic and tried to retreat.
But in the next second, her eyes flashed with a sly glint.
A shadow materialized behind Lilith. Suddenly, a dagger coated in dark misma pierced towards her back. It was a deadly poison.
The attack was completely sudden. Even the woman’s allies were surprised by the sudden apparition of the shadow-like assassin.
However, Lilith simply smiled. She was an assassin herself, so there was no way she would fall for something so obvious.
When the dagger was about to touch her back, Lilith’s body leaned aside, and like a snake, she moved behind the shadow.
“How…!” The shadow’s soft voice was filled with surprise, but a blow on her nape silenced her. Lilith then looked at the rapier-wielding woman calmly.
“Was that your last trick?” She asked with a cocky smile. The woman gritted her teeth and pounced toward her in a fury.
“Bastard!”
“Sigh… How weak; you shouldn’t easily get provoked.” Lilith shook her head, disappointed, and disappeared from the rapier-wielding woman’s sight.
Before she could understand what was happening, her vision darkened, and her body fell to the ground. Lilith landed a hard chop on her neck, making her lose consciousness.
Finally, Lilith looked at the remaining gang members still standing. They were shaking in fear, wondering how it was possible for someone so strong to exist.
Lilith heaved a sigh and waved her hand. A wave of origin spread to the surroundings forming small dark balls which knocked the remaining gang members unconscious.
She then looked at the alleyway filled with unconscious bodies and shrugged. If others back on the forbidden island saw this, they would have been shocked that the alley was not filled with limbs and heads because her other nickname besides her original one was ‘The Butcher.’ This nickname held a double meaning; she was a butcher when it came to fighting and a butcher when she ate (i.e., When she drank blood).
”Hah! Let’s finish this.” Lilith mumbled before bringing out a bunch of ropes, and with a wicked smile that sent a chill to Amber’s spine, she moved toward the unconscious gang members.
”This girl has a bright future,” Orpheus mumbled while observing Lilith skillfully tying them up one by one.
Truth be told, the reason why he followed Lilith, it was not only to monitor her or it was because he wanted Amber to watch to get some experience; it was also because he was sure that he would need to intervene at some moment. It had been thousand years since he saw his subordinates, so he wouldn’t blindly believe that newbies would perfect so well. To the extent that he was pleasantly surprised, Nix had sent someone excellent he mustn’t forget to reward his sweet daughter later.
Now that Lilith had successfully subdued the gang members, it was time to come out.
Suddenly, Lilith’s body flinched and smiled after sensing someone’s presence.
It was time to wake them up.
