The Hunter wasn't fighting.
It was playing.
Sekar's blade struck three more times in rapid succession—each hit perfect, each landing solid. Black void blood spattered across the concrete.
Kalthar caught her wrist on the fourth strike.
"Impressive speed. S-Rank enhanced by champion status." It twisted, throwing her through a building. "But still insufficient."
Rama activated [Void Step], appearing behind the Hunter. Guardian's Oath blazed with golden light—fifty allies protected, the weapon's bonus at maximum.
His strike carved through the Hunter's shoulder.
Kalthar backhanded him without looking.
[HP: 182 → 97]
Half his health in one casual blow.
"System Champion. The original. I expected more." The Hunter turned, void energy swirling around its wounded shoulder, healing instantly. "You survived two encounters with lesser entities and thought yourselves capable. Adorable."
