The woman with peach-blonde hair was a rank 4, and her total Combat Power was probably higher than Batir’s, who was also a rank 4.

 

But the difference was merely a difference in the amount of magic power. The more magic power, the more sustainable combat power, and the more battle techniques could be unleashed. But even so, Batir’s physical strength, stamina, and endurance values should be higher. In a head-to-head fight, Batir would have the advantage.

 

Batir could not fight against two hundred men. However, in a one-on-one fight, Batir would have a different advantage.

 

The power she used to defeat the Tooth brothers was unknown, but even so, this dangerous woman could not be allowed to return safely.

 

Batir’s reputation would fall to the ground if she was sent back after more than a hundred were killed. Batir could not let the woman live…

 

Growing up in the dumps of this slum-like town, gathering like-minded beastly vagabonds, Batir had lived his entire childhood by robbing others.

 

Many of his friends died, many more joined him, and he even became one of the youngest members of the Munza Group’s executives by his power alone.

 

His “pack” was killed. Only by one woman.

 

No one was allowed to take it away from him. The position, the group, everything were his.

 

Batir’s heart burned with unquenchable anger at the enemy’s attempt to take it away from him, as if he had set fire to the black oil that welled up in the desert.

 

“…You little bastard, I’ll eat your guts off!!!”

 

***

 

Batir, one of the Munza Group’s young executives, kicked off the terrace railing and jumped down.

 

Batir] [Race: Cat-breed Beastman Male] [Rank 4]

 

[Magic Power: 187/200] [Physical Strength: 452/470]

 

[Total Combat Power: 1203 (With Physical Enhancements: 1446)]

 

He slowly approaches, his black, naked upper body exposed to the sun, holding two black hatchets that appeared to be made of magic iron in both hands.

 

“I’m going to kill you, woman.”

 

“Try it!”

 

*Gakiin!!!!

 

At that moment, my black dagger and Batir’s black hatchet, as we both closed in at the same time, clashed and made a high-pitched sound.

 

I was pressed by the difference in muscular strength. I received it with my strengthened wrist and muscle power, while the blade of the black knife that I swing quickly in my other hand was blocked by the other hatchet, so I quickly took distance with a kick using the sole of my feet.

 

“Uraaaaah!”

 

Batir’s axe closed in as I instantly jumped out of the way. I throw a knife drawn from my thigh while retreating backwards in time with it, and a moment after Batir avoided it, the blade of my pendulum that attacked him from his right hit his shoulder, causing Batir to also take a step away.

 

Batir’s status was better.

 

We were almost equal skill. I was slightly faster, but Batir had the advantage in everything else.

 

And I was tired from fighting two hundred people. Fighting on a battlefield where even a lucky shot could result in instant death, was like walking a tightrope blindfolded which was physically and mentally taxing than I had expected, and even when I sit still, I started to break out in a sweat.

 

But it was okay.

 

“!?”

 

Batir looked at me as I closed the distance instantly, using a gait that wastes no time to the utmost as I dragged my exhausted body to continue.

 

My black knife struck like a swift, sweeping strike. Batir instantly responded, using his weight and gravity as allies, and slammed the black axe into the knife.

 

*Gin! 

 

The moment Batir shows surprise at the light ringing sound that echoes against the strength of the blow, my dagger struck Batir using the recoil of his attack.

 

“Damn!”

 

But still Batir did not withdraw and brandished his other axe.
