Before Apophis could deliver the final blow, a person came out of nowhere!
They teleported in front of him and blocked Apophis's sword with their hand, creating a small shock wave that shattered the ground at their feet.
Apophis had no choice but to step quickly back.
The newcomer was a woman wearing a white mask and a red cloak, and she stood between Apophis and Lucifer's fallen body.
What surprised Apophis the most was the skill with which she'd intercepted his attack. It was a kind of instant teleportation skill that Apophis had never seen before, so he inspected her immediately.

Apophis couldn't remember a player with that name from his former life, despite knowing the names of nearly all the game's elite and professional players by heart.
