The doors opened with a buzzing sound, A huge woman wearing a bulky grey Armour rushed into the room and her eyes were immediately drawn to a large crater in the center. It was about six feet in diameter and several feet deep, resembling a gaping wound in the floor.
The edges of the crater were jagged and uneven, as if something explosive had caused its formation. Chunks of concrete and debris littered its rim, evidence of the force that had created it. The woman cautiously approached the edge of the crater, peering down into its depths.
Inside, she could see a pool of blood slowly filling up the crater's bottom. The woman's heart sank at the sight of her friend who lay within.
Bending down, the woman carefully examined her friend lying in the crater. Her body was motionless.
She gently placed her hand on her friend's neck, feeling for a pulse. After a few tense moments, she detected a faint but steady rhythm beneath her fingertips. Relief washed over her as she realized that her friend was alive, despite the severity of her injuries.
" Her skull was fractured." She thought.
She drew her blade as her senses became heightened, as if every nerve ending was on high alert. The air around her seemed to become denser.
As the woman stared at the emergence of a thousand mirrors, each the size of a page, functioning as a single unit. The mirrors were arranged in a perfect grid, each mirror was reflecting the surrounding environment with stunning clarity.
As she continued to gaze at the mirrors, she noticed a figure approaching from the other side. At first, it appeared as nothing more than a tiny dot in the distance. However, as it drew nearer, its size gradually increased. Sensing danger, the woman instinctively rolled away just as the glass shattered, avoiding a potentially catastrophic collision.
Breathing heavily, she quickly regained her composure and turned around to see what had emerged from the shattered mirrors. To her surprise and relief, she saw the familiar face of her leader. It was as if time had slowed down for a moment as Mazuki stopped her momentum mid-air and slowly descended to the floor.
She redirected her attention back to the mirrors. The once pristine mirrors now appeared distorted and unstable.
As she focused on this anomaly, the mirrors suddenly vanished before her eyes. In their place stood a dark and menacing figure—a demon from another realm. Its eyes glowed red with an eerie intensity, and its presence exuded an overwhelming sense of malevolence.

Mazuki cleaned the little blood that trickled down her nose. " At least you made me bleed."
Jack stared at Mazuki her aura was back to the way it was, now it wasn't even up to a level 5 Master which meant she's confident in her abilities. Mazuki was smiling at him, since the beginning of the battle mazuki's face remained expressionless and she wasn't even taking the battle seriously,Just seeing her smile sent a shiver down his spine.
"I need to run before it's too late or this monster will kill me." Jack thought.
The guard beside her suddenly dash forward, She was moving with such great speed with her long blade at the side, Jack took a stance to counter her attack, his senses heightened when he turned around he saw the guard behind, she pushed her blade straight into his chest.
[ You have received soul damage ]
[ Health will continue to reduce ]
"Wrong clothes to the wrong party lad." The guard said.
Jack gritted his teeth but due to the mask enchantment, he let out a little chuckle his fangs flashing before retracting. the guard jumped back at least seven feet away from Jack.
[ Fear points gained 40/100 ]
The guard stared at Jack with wide eyes she expected him to Wither, her talent Soul attack ( Enchantment ) allows her to enchantment weapons and give devastating damage and it increases as she increase rank, The being in front of her was a master even if it was a level 5 the master would die instantly.
Jack pulled the blade out of his chest.
[ Weapon: ??????? ]

Jack hurled it towards the mage with all his might. The blade sliced through the air, The guard, caught off guard by the sudden attack, barely had time to react. As the blade hurtled towards her, She instinctively raised her arms in a feeble attempt to defend herself. However, the blade moved with such incredible speed that it was already upon her before he could fully comprehend what was happening.
With a sickening thud, the blade plunged into her chest, piercing through flesh and bone. The force of impact knocked her off her feet, sending her sprawling backward. The sheer velocity of the blade carried her through the air, propelling her a staggering distance of 100 feet before coming to a halt.
As the guard collided with a digital wall, her body crumpled against it, pinned in place by her own weapon. The blade remained embedded in her chest, its sharp edges digging deeper into her flesh. Blood began to seep from the wound, pooling beneath her.
Slowly but surely, the life force within her began to fade away as the poison spread. Her skin hugged tightly against her bones, her body became cold and pale.
[ You have lost 50% of health ]
[ Skill: Blade and corruption has detected Soul poison ]
[ do you want to ingest Skill poison to expel unknown poison ]
[ Yes ]. [ No ].
[ Poison ingestion activated ]
[ 25% of health has been consumed ]
Jack screamed as more soul poison assaulted his soul, he felt like his very being was on fire.
KREKEKEKEKKE!
Jack let out a bestial laugh while clenching his chest.
" Now I can't let you go". Mazuki said
"Don't look at me like that, I won't hurt you cause you punched my face, but acknowledge your actions, I can give you what every man desire, wealth, power, fame, you name it."
Jack could hardly hear what she was saying due to the immense pull on his soul.
[ You health is below 10% ]
[ Coward's Victoria activated ]
Using a Teleportation skill in flee from a being like Mazuki was not the brightest of ideas, cause using Teleportation leaves an Aura signature, not only can she detect this aura but she can dive into the fabric of Teleportation and pull you out but due to Jack's S_level talent his aura doesn't seem human, tracking such a signature is impossible.

In the dimly lit alley, Out of thin air, a shimmering portal materialized, crackling with energy. As the portal stabilized, a figure emerged from within, collapsing onto the cold pavement below. The man lay there, motionless and unconscious, his naked body exposed to the elements.
