"Boom—!"
Amidst the explosion, the wall next to the Stolen Goods Warehouse gate suddenly shattered, sending numerous debris flying in all directions.
Simultaneously, a petite figure flew out from inside as if it had smashed through the wall.
"—!"
Seeing this scene, the others were completely stunned, standing there motionless.
Conversely, Emilia was the first to react.
"Danger!"
The kind-hearted girl, almost without thinking, stepped forward and reached out, catching the petite figure flying towards her.
"Ugh..."
A pained groan immediately escaped from the petite figure's lips.
Only at this moment did everyone get a clear look at the appearance of the petite figure caught in Emilia's embrace.
Surprisingly, it was Felt.
"Felt!"
Besides the shattered wall, the old man of the Giant Race, raising one arm to shield himself from the flying debris like bullets, then saw Felt lying in Emilia's arms and exclaimed in shock.
"What... What?" Subaru Natsuki took a step back, startled. "W-What just happened?"
As for Fang Li, he raised his head and gazed at the wall of the Stolen Goods Warehouse, which now had a gaping hole.
There, a tall figure slowly emerged.
"I didn't expect you to dodge my initial strike and not die immediately. That inhuman speed, seemingly surrounded by the wind, must be the Divine Protection of Wind from this world, right? It seems you are favored by the world!"
It was a voice with a hint of danger mingled with allure.
With that voice, a tall, voluptuous figure clad in black emerged from the Stolen Goods Warehouse, her jet-black hair twisted into braids, exposed to everyone's eyes.
Her mature posture, voluptuous figure, and seductive appearance struck a chord in every man's heart.
However, in that instant, everyone's attention was diverted by something else.
It was the pair of ferocious-looking fangs in her hands, somewhat resembling curved blades.
These peculiar-looking blades were tightly gripped by her, the edges glittering with an arc of light, stimulating everyone's nerves.
Of course, what was even more stimulating to everyone present was the sharp aura emanating from her body.
It was a murderous aura.
Thick and viscous like fresh blood.
Under the influence of this terrifying murderous aura, the reactions of everyone present were varied.
Emilia and Pack's expressions became solemn.
Fang Li raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a slow smile.
Subaru Natsuki's face broke out in a sweat as he kept retreating. Eventually, as if losing all strength, he collapsed on the ground.
As for Felt, despite her painful groans, she struggled to lift her head, glaring at the figure and speaking through gritted teeth.
"You're going back on your word! You promised to trade with me after I got the insignia..."
Hearing this, the mature Big Sister wielding the dangerous weapon smiled charmingly and said, "Yes, but I've changed my mind. Since the insignia has come to me and its owner is present, my quest is to kill everyone here. That'll suffice."
With a glance that swept over each person present, the woman licked her lips and uttered words of immense pleasure.
"To think there are so many people here. It looks like today will be quite enjoyable."
From her words, anyone could sense a cruel disregard for life.
If Fang Li only felt indifferent to death, then she was the type who not only felt indifferent to the passing of life but even derived pleasure from it.
Of course, she only found pleasure in personally sending targets on their way.
Therefore, her gaze quickly locked onto Emilia's figure, akin to a wild beast eyeing its prey, as she spoke.
"So, let's start with you, the target."
Unfortunately, she never got the chance to act.
"Oooooh—!"
Suddenly, the Giant Race old man roared, wielding a massive club in his hand like a tank or war chariot, stomping the ground forcefully and charging madly toward the woman wielding the dangerous weapon.
However, the woman merely raised the blade in her hand, turned around, and with a smile reminiscent of bloodshed, lunged towards the Giant Race old man.
Her speed was so fast that people could only catch a glimpse of a black shadow.
"Pūchī—!"
The next moment, with the sound of the sharp blade piercing through flesh, the hand of the Giant Race old man holding the massive club was completely severed and flew into the sky.
Blood splattered everywhere.
"Waaah! Aaah! Aaah!—"
The Giant Race old man clutched his severed arm, screaming in pain as he involuntarily kept retreating.
"Grandpa Rom!"
Felt exclaimed in shock.
And the massive arm fell heavily in front of someone.
Right in front of Subaru Natsuki, who lay collapsed on the ground, unable to get up.
His face was stained with blood, and he stared wide-eyed.
It wasn't until this moment that Subaru Natsuki finally felt it.
Fear.
Intense fear.
Since arriving in this Another World, Subaru Natsuki had been walking around with a carefree attitude, completely unaware of what it meant to wander around in such a world without any self-awareness.
In simple terms, for Subaru Natsuki, all of this was just fantasy, no different from a game that needed to be experienced firsthand, without any sense of tension.
However, at this moment, the brutal reality finally confronted Subaru Natsuki.
As he looked at the blood covering his body and the severed arm that fell in front of him, Subaru Natsuki finally began to realize.
Realize the danger.
In the cruelest way possible.
So fear ignited in Subaru Natsuki's heart.
"Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!—"
In the next moment, Subaru Natsuki's panicked screams echoed.
The screams made the hunters turn their gaze towards Subaru Natsuki.
"What an unpleasant sound. Can you not make such noise when others are enjoying themselves?"
As soon as the words fell—
"Chī—!"
A fang-like blade suddenly tore through the air, violently shooting towards Subaru Natsuki like a sharp arrow.
"Pūchī—!"
The sound of tearing echoed.
Subaru Natsuki's fearful screams abruptly ceased.
With an incredulous expression, Subaru Natsuki stiffened his neck and slowly lowered his head, looking at his chest.
There, the fang-like blade pierced through his heart.
Blood flowed out.
Beside him, Fang Li had been watching all along.
His expression was calm to the point of making people tremble.
At this moment, the world changed.
