Nigo's knife strike was swift and ruthless, coming in at an incredibly tricky angle.
If it were someone else, they would probably have been cleaved in two before they could even register the move, falling to the ground and breathing their last.
But Anjia remained calm and composed.
Without much thought, she lifted her hand and her metal Tiger's Claw worked to counter Nigo's most powerful strike.
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding rang out, the resulting blast causing clothes to flutter.
Then, her other hand smoothly delivered another punch.
Boom!
Her fist burst forward, causing the ground beneath Nigo to shatter. His body, struck as if by a metal ball, instantly flew back several meters, a pitiful sight.
"Is that all you've got?" Anija sneered without launching another attack.
Nigo's face turned more serious.
Wiping the trail of blood from the corner of his mouth, he realized that the seemingly young woman before him was a hero of a higher rank than himself.
