Chapter 77: The test of strength

Yeman leaped to shorten the distance faster — to him and the guy who put a mark on him awhile ago.

Seeing the fast-approaching enemy towards him, Gale-Cutter's face grimaced.

"F-Fuck, w-why me first? Bro, I will become your friend just don't punch my face! This is the face envied by many. If you punch this face,, many women will curse you to death!" Gale-Cutter shouted to Yeman who was fast approaching towards him. He could only try to bet by persuading him since his body lost the ability to move.

'What this person was saying?' Markis and Ray Boy thought the same thing.

Ray Boy and Markis had dumbfounded expressions on their faces. They thought that this guy was too shameless shouting that he's handsome in this kind of situation.

They had never thought that this enemy had this tricky ability with him.

Now they were like training dummies waiting for someone to hit them. In Gale-Cutter's mind, 'What the fucking situation is this?! This dude really paralyzed us. Not even the source of my sons and daughters can move.'

He could not even lift his arm right now. His body was trembling by the force he exerted trying to move. But no matter how hard he forced himself to move, his body could only tremble.

He was a proud member of the assassin guild who defeated two enemies at once with the same rank as him. And yet, he was like a statue right now. They would be defeated by this one person with a lower ranking than them in a fight of 1 vs 4! What a shameful situation was this?!

Yeman doesn't know if he would laugh or cry at what this guy shouting at him. He lifted his fist towards Gale-Cutter's face.

Seeing the punch coming, Gale-Cutter froze with twitching face. If this punch hit him, goodbye to his handsome face!

"Miss heeeeelp!"

Gale-Cutter shouted for help. Yeman's punch was about to hit him when...

"Not in my watch!"

Suddenly, someone shouted and Yeman's punch landed on a palm covered by bandages. It was the woman who's a whole body covered in black cloth.

"Ugh! What the...!" The woman exclaimed when the punch landed on her hand.

A second later, she used her other hand too to support her other hand. She did not expect that this punch had this much power for someone who was as powerful as a peak of silver magician only.

This punch was beyond her expectation!

The ground where they stood was breaking caused by the opposing forces that the two of them releases. Some debris hovered into the air and the raindrops that supposed to hit them splattering in other directions.

On the other hand, Gale-Cutter who was at the back of the woman, he felt like he was falling from the sky with a heavy wind pressure hitting his face. Nonetheless, he sighed in relief. Good thing that she saves him. His face was still intact. He would be cursing this guy for the rest of his life if something bad happened to his face.

A moment later, the punch was stopped with slight difficulty. Yeman narrowed his eyes and stepped back a little to distance himself from the woman.

He was right. This woman was stronger than the rest of the enemies. She was on another level. Maybe stronger than the Rat Lord that he fought inside the tunnel.

'That punch was indeed abnormally powerful. Even someone like me who was at the golden stage had difficulty stopping that punch. What's more, if it landed on Gale-Cutter's face? For sure...that ugly head of him will say farewell from his body.' She thought.

Gale-Cutter face avoided the road to ruins.

'It was a waste to kill this person with so much strength. He would be a valuable person in this empire. But too bad for him, once the mission was issued to us, all we could do is to execute it and accomplished no matter what happened.'

The woman charges hastily. Her figure vanished in Gale-Cutter and the other's vision.

She appeared behind Yeman and sent a hand chop on the back of his neck.

This woman was no doubt one of the top strongest in the guild. But never did any one of them saw her real face.

What they knew was, she never had a failed mission even for once.

Though, It only natural since she was at the golden stage already. The strength she holds was unfathomable.

And they could only guess that she was a member of great families.

Thump!

Before it landed, it was blocked by his right hand with a little twist of his body.

The woman widened her eyes. 'This person is not only had brute strength. He's faster also!'

Yeman leaped to his side. Which followed by a feathery arm tried to grab him from the ground.

|This one is tricky.| He thought.

The woman without wasting time rushed to him and sent a combination of combos. Punch and kick were flying to Yeman.

But none of them landed at him. He blocked and dodge every attack. He was also aware of the guy hiding below.

The three-person who couldn't move was watching at the fight. They don't want to believe what their eyes were seeing. For god sake, that woman was at a golden stage.

Although they assumed that she would test his strength first, they expected a one-sided fight. It was common knowledge to all that a silver rank would never have a chance to fight equally with a golden rank magician. Since the gap in strength was too wide if compared.

Maybe a bronze rank magician had a chance to defeat a silver rank. But never a silver rank had a chance against the golden rank.

The woman sent a kick which Yeman evaded by ducking. After a successful evasion, he sent a punch to her. But the woman uses his arm as a foothold and sent her body flying to distance herself. She landed 10 steps away in front of Yeman.

The two of them eyed each other.

The three knitted their brows. They didn't expect that she would be the one retreating. And they were fighting that guy in a 1 vs 2 now. One at the peak of silver and the other was a golden stage.

So why? Why their enemy was able to stand his ground against the attack of a golden magician?!

Not even they could do it. They would become a punching bag at any moment whenever they spar against her.

"Is that a greeting?"

Yeman asked with a smile.

"This idiot he was even smiling at this situation!" Gale-Cutter grumbled.

This was the first time that he had difficulty in catching up with his enemy. Yeman also felt that she was only testing him. And that she was only using a tip of her real strength. Such a scary woman.

He originally thought that he was already stronger, based on how weak the soldiers in this empire that they sent into the subjugation mission. But it looks like, the stronger one had no care about killing monsters or doing missions for the empire.

They selfishly did what interests them. Yeman sighed. He thought that — if only these people joined the subjugation mission. They would eventually do a better result in reclaiming the fallen lands.

"So you know? Hehe," She giggled. "Then let's make it a little more serious this time."

A burst of energy erupted from her body after saying the words.
