The villainess shall be mine

Crack!

Monsters' bones broke apart.

Splash!

Their interiors gushed out of their stomach.

"Grah!"

But their numbers kept increasing.

Adam was covered with filthy substance as he crushed and sliced the monsters.

Zax and he ran away from the monsters, but it was of no use.

It didn't even take a few minutes for other monsters to notice the ruckus.

Wolves, giant insects, giant anacondas, and lesser minotaurs began to appear from out of nowhere.

Adam couldn't activate his power endlessly, so all they could do was run forward.

Of course, Zax wouldn't be able to follow Adam's pace so he transferred his nano suit to her.

Zax already realized the true form of Cristal so she didn't complain and didn't ask any questions.

"This suit is incredible!" She acknowledged Cristal's performance.

"Of course it is!"

However, it didn't take them long to understand that the situation was not getting any better.

To be precise, there would be no end to these monsters as long as they were in this world.

Adam felt that he had already used too much power, but unfortunately, the monsters kept getting stronger, and the fact that an enemy used their sense against them didn't make things easier.

Whether they stayed on the ground or flew in the sky, monsters would appear from everywhere.

It was only thanks to his newly acquired ability that Adam managed to survive this long.

His fighting style was simple, he neutralized the monsters that got closer to him and then cut them down or crushed them with his fists or legs.

He also activated his full power on a regular interval to find the best way to follow.

Still, their pace slowed down and they almost fell from the top of cliffs many times.

"This would never end unless we eliminate the bastard who keeps messing with us!"

This was an obvious answer, but there were too many factors to be taken into consideration.

If Adam and Zax focused on finding the enemy, how long that would take?

Could they save Liu in time if they stopped moving forward?

And more importantly, how could they find the enemy in the first place.

"Tch, it would take an hour for Cristal to recover! And even after that, it would be just 15%!" Adam cursed his powerlessness in front of this kind of situation.

A question appeared inside of his head. 'Is Liu worth all this trouble?'

No matter how many times he thought about a reasonable reason, he couldn't find any.

Was it because Liu was his friend?

No, they weren't that close.

Was it because Adam had a good heart and a chivalrous attitude?

No, he only cared about himself most of the time.

So why? Before he could even think straight, why he had already decided that he would save Liu?

Was it because he didn't want to lose her? No one knew.

If the old him was there at that moment, would he go to this extent for a girl that was not even his girlfriend?

The answer to these questions would show if Adam changed or not.

'There's nothing if there's no beginning.'

However, Adam knew that Liu saved many people from falling into despair. So, wouldn't she deserve to be saved too?

Nevertheless, it was not the time for second thoughts.

"Adam!"

"What?!"

In the middle of all of this turmoil, Zax called out Adam's name.

"Does Cristal have any ability that could get us out of this mess?!!"

The monsters' groans and roars were too long, so they had to yell at each other while talking and running at the same time.

"Yeah!!! But this is not the time to talk about that!!!"

Adam's physical abilities were enhanced by the pure energy of neutral particles, so he could run almost 50 kilometers per hour.

He also needed to crush the monsters in front of him while Zax covered his back with the mana guns.

It was hard to talk to each other under such conditions.

"So, what kind of energy does Cristal need?!!!"

"I don't know!!! This situation never occurred before so I didn't ask!!!"

"I have an idea worth trying!!!"

"Okay!!!"

"I brought spare tubes full of condensed vibratum energy for my armor, and I have them here!!!"

Zax took two tubes that emitted an azure blue light.

"Why didn't you say that earlier?!"

"Because I didn't know how Cristal worked!"

"Just try it now!!! I will hold the monsters!"

Zax took held the tubes in her little hands but she didn't know how to deal with them.

However, as soon as the tubes came in contact with Cristal, something happened.

[Energy source detected. Extraction process initiated.]

The suit swallowed the two tunes and absorbed their energy.

[System Activation. Success.]

"Did it work?!" Adam asked.

​ "Yes, I can hear Cristal's voice!" Zax replied.

"Hey, Cristal, can you scan the area? There should be another human apart from us around," Adam instructed.

"Yes, master."

This was one of Cristal's most useful abilities. She was equipped with different types of sensors that could perceive details that the human sense missed.

Moreover, this sensor wasn't affected by illusion or external disturbance.

There might be some hope to save Liu in time.

*****

Similar to Adam's situation, the situation on the other side of the portal was also chaotic.

Monsters roamed all around the city of Mistolteos and their numbers kept increasing.

It would take some time to close all of these portals, even for Adam.

Furthermore, the monsters also appeared in the nearby cities.

Reinforcements from the Capital were already on their way but it was still hard to come up with an effective counter-attack, and the situation was still tricky.

And in the middle of all of that, two powerful beings were trying to tear each other apart.

"Die!"

Louis yelled and punched out.

Lightning particles in the surrounding gathered into a single point, turning a ball of energy which was projected at the vampire woman.

Drizzzzz!

However, Louis's attack didn't end there, but it was followed by a chain reaction.

All of the balls of lighting in the surrounding rushed at the vampire woman at full speed.

Swiss! Swiss!

These balls of lighting were like countless shooting stars targeting a single point.

All of that happened at a very high speed.

Moreover, one of these balls of lightning had enough condensed power to destroy a small village.

This was the power of a level 9 gift holder.

Louis didn't know that people in this world called their power gifts, but his power was certainly similar to a gift.

It was clear that he didn't care about the city.

If all of that condensed energy got unleashed at the same time, then part of the city of Mistolteos would be erased from the map.

However, the vampire woman also unleashed her power.

The thick crimson red mist around her turned into a huge tornado.

Fwoooosh!

This was how the Vampire woman managed to run from Louis and Lupic many times.

Louis's attack collided against the red tornado.

Boom!

This collision was followed by a huge outburst of energy.

It should have destroyed everything, but for some reason, the explosion was contained.

The red crimson mist absorbed it.

Still, the entirety of the outburst was not fully nullified.

It was a good call from Yelena and the others to take the vehicle and run away.

The ground was deformed, the tree's bodies were shattered and they almost fell.

Thunderous noises filled the area and lighting sparks destroyed everything that came in contact with them.

"Tch!" Louis clicked his tongue after seeing that his attack failed to kill his target.

"Oy, Oy, you almost killed me!" Lupic appeared out of nowhere below Louis.

Louis ignored him and focused on the vampire woman.

After the smokes dissipated, a silhouette appeared in mid-air.

Her armor finally broke apart, revealing her true form.

A tall woman with pointy ears, bloody red eyes, and long black hair.

Her skin was pale, almost lifeless.

She wore a very particular black dress that was covered with a chest plate and chain mail.

How she managed to fit that dress inside her armor was a mystery, but it looked like it was an extension of the armor.

"Fiuuu! Would you look at that?" Lupic whistled as he looked at the Vampire woman.

"Demons also have a beautiful face," Louis commented.

The vampire woman floated in the air, and the thick red crimson mist turned into two pairs of wings on her back.

Her appearance was noble and majestic, to say the least.

Still, Louis and Lupic wouldn't stop just because she was a gorgeous woman.

"Hmm? Louis, where is the container that she had with her?" Lupic remarked. "Hm? Did it get blown away?"

"If she was such a stupid woman, we would have managed to retrieve it long ago."

"Yeah, you are right... But it seems like she finally became senile."

"Do you have the same thought as me?" Louis asked.

"Yeah, the bugs also disappeared. I'll go crush some bugs and finish our mission."

After saying these words, Lupic disappeared mysteriously.

For some reason, the vampire woman was on the defensive, or more precisely, she was stacking time.

And even though Louis and Lupic were having a conversation in front of her, she didn't attack.

Until she saw that Lupic disappeared.

She rose to the sky and darted to the direction where Yelena and the others went.

"I won't let you!" Louis shouted.

The woman realized that she might have taken a very bad decision.

She thought that Louis and Lupic wouldn't take notice of Yelena and the others even if they disappeared from the scenery, so she could retrieve the container later.

Louis had already appeared in front of her.

Inside his domain, only teleportation ability could match Louis's speed.

It was as if he used teleportation himself.

"This is the end, damned creature!"
