"————!"
No explanation was needed.
At that moment, even Subaru Natsuki could clearly sense the pervasive murderous aura in the air.
Like a gradually spreading pool of blood, the murderous aura explosively filled the entire Stolen Goods Warehouse, reaching a suffocating level of intensity.
Just from this, one could understand what kind of person this assassin called the 'Bowel Hunter' truly was.
She is unflinching in committing murder and is bloody to the extreme.
Even amidst a sea of blood, she could maintain an enchanting smile, laughing joyfully as she killed.
This was Elsa Granhiert.
A highly renowned assassin.
Feeling the bloody and cruel nature within the heart of this enchanting woman before him, Subaru Natsuki felt a sudden rush of nausea rise extremely fast in his throat.
If not for having experienced it once, even being killed once, Subaru Natsuki would absolutely not have been able to withstand such a terrifying murderous aura.
Even Felt and Rom's complexions turned ashen, clearly recognizing the immense danger posed by the person before them and realizing the nature of their previous dealings with such a dangerous character.
"Pack..." Emilia's complexion turned grave as she spoke to Pack, seeming to intend to step forward.
"Wait." Pack understood Emilia's intentions but refused her wish, saying, "She's here for you. If it's not necessary, it's best not to get involved."
Hearing this, Emilia immediately wanted to retort.
Not because Pack's words were wrong, but precisely because they were accurate, Emilia felt compelled to step forward.
After all, if the other party was here for her, it wouldn't sit right for Emilia to hide behind others and let unrelated people protect her.
However, before Emilia could refute it, another person had already spoken up.
"No need to worry, Lady Emilia."
Reinhard, who knows when he untied the ropes binding him, stood up. As he removed the ropes from his body as if they had been forcibly torn, he faced the battlefield ahead and addressed Emilia.
"That individual can handle that assassin without any issues."
Those words, spoken with even more confidence than oneself, surprised Emilia.
In response, Reinhard merely smiled and placed his hand on the Knight's sword at his waist, saying such a line.
"The one who can cause me to unsheathe the Astrea family's Dragon Sword won't lose to the 'Bowel Hunter'."
At least, Elsa hadn't been able to unsheathe the Dragon Sword.
But Fang Li had elicited a reaction from it.
In that case, the balance of power was already clear.
Of course, one had already anticipated this outcome.
"Although I hadn't expected to achieve my goal with just a few words, I'm not unhappy with this development either." Fang Li calmly faced Elsa's murderous aura, smiling suddenly with an unruffled demeanor.
"However, for me, facing an assassin like you is rather boring."
With that said, Fang Li took a step forward.
At that moment, Fang Li's figure suddenly disappeared.
And as if flashing, he appeared in front of Elsa.
"————!"
Elsa's pupils contracted fiercely.
Only at this moment did a voice slowly enter Elsa's ears.
"After all, I've fought against the most outstanding Murderring Demons countless times."
Blade light suddenly appeared in the space.
As if a flash.
As if lightning.
The chilly arc of light appeared without any warning, instantly cutting through the air like a crescent moon, sweeping toward Elsa.
"Clang————!"
A loud collision sound resounded through the air.
Accompanied by it were sparks that suddenly burst like fireworks.
Facing that extremely fast slash, Elsa timely raised the vicious weapon in her hand, resembling the fangs of a ferocious beast, and blocked it.
Shortly afterward, an unmistakably terrifying force shook her hand, causing Elsa's tall and plump body to be bounced like a ball, sliding forcefully on the ground, leaving two grooves in its wake, sending wood chips flying.
When she finally came to a stop, Elsa realized.
Her wielding hand was numb.
"Oooh…!"
Watching Elsa being forced back by a single strike, both Felt and Rom exclaimed in surprise.
"Amazing…" Emilia and Pack were astonished.
"As expected…" Reinhard wore an expression of unsurprised expectation.
"Ha… Hahaha…" Subaru Natsuki chuckled dryly.
"Both of us are the people summoned to Another World, but the difference is so vast, damn."
Unfortunately, compared to others, Elsa, as the person involved, was even more surprised.
"Aah…" Elsa shook her numbed arm and looked at Fang Li with gradually intoxicated eyes, whispering in a dreamy and energetic tone, "I haven't made a mistake. You truly are someone worth hunting."
"Thank you for the praise." Fang Li met Elsa's intoxicated gaze, a waning moon dagger in his hand, his lips slightly upturned.
"Although our natures may be different, I don't mind engaging in combat with others."
"So, I hope you'll accompany me to the end."
These words caused Elsa's intoxicated gaze to curve into a crescent moon shape.
Meanwhile, the murderous aura pervading around her body exploded like a bomb.
"Pa————!"
In the next moment, Elsa stomped on the floor, her figure turning into a black shadow, suddenly leaping out.
At first glance, it was as if a ferocious beast pounced on its prey, both swift and brutal.
In her hands, the vicious weapon shone with a cold gleam. Under the Master's swing, it turned into two sharp blade lights, like thunderbolts, mercilessly slashing forward.
"Clang————!"
In the crisp collision sound, the Moon Blade flicked extremely fast, deflecting the incoming strikes.
However, Elsa took advantage of this momentum, gracefully dodging like surfing in the air, then lowered her body, landing on all fours like a spider, darting towards Fang Li's side, swinging her weapon towards his abdomen.
"Clang————!"
In the clash of steel against steel, the dagger, resembling a lingering crescent moon, appeared out of nowhere, blocking the incoming strike, and causing sparks to burst forth once again, illuminating Fang Li's profile.
The two successive ambushes failed completely, yet Elsa's smile grew increasingly triumphant.
Thus, Elsa's figure completely transformed into a ghostly shadow, drifting weightlessly around Fang Li, hovering and continuously releasing sharp slashes.
Countless blade lights suddenly appeared in the air, exceptionally bright.
