In another location, in another city, another starter's village.
A green-haired beauty had just finished killing a 2 Stars Boss; it was an alligator.
Pandora tapped her feet on the ground while mumbling.
''Unbound!"
The vines sealing the dead boss's body against the ground vanished.
''You two, have you finished clearing the monsters assigned to you?" Pandora shouted, her voice traversed the forest, the leaves seemed to carry her words until here.
Two people fighting against what seemed like an illusion stopped and exchanged glances; it was one man and a woman, Zwei and Drei, members of Alex's special force.
They didn't hesitate anymore; they immediately used their ultimate combo; they vanished to form a thin line that passed through the illusion's body; the monster was cut into multiple pieces. They called this move, thousand cuts, only usable when the two are together.
