Chapter 71: Fight to the death
After the failed attempt to kill Cain, Sherazade prepared to hunt down the students, as she wanted to enjoy some good fights. She was someone who lived for the thrill of a fight that put her between life and death.
Because of this, the girl walked through the rift, starting in the forest where the low-rank student group was. And quickly, she marked all the weakest with her poisoning ability. Then she declared in a powerful voice:
"Okay, everyone who is marked has 30 seconds to disappear from my sight, or I will kill you without hesitation."
She said this and immediately cut off Hao’s arm, because he had the look of someone who intended to resist.
"Don’t even try to stay here, you’ll just get in the way." And after all that display of brutality, the students finally fled.
Then the woman turned to the three remaining. But seeing how Marc was far below the other two, she kicked him away.
"Since people fight better when motivated, I’ll warn you. That mark is a poison, so if you don’t kill me today, they will all die." She said, but Sherazade herself didn’t know how many hours each would last. The mark was stronger in lower-level people and stopped working above a certain level.
"Now come and face me." She said, unable to contain her excitement.
With no other option, Alden and Alexia prepared for a life-or-death combat. Then, like lightning, Sherazade charged.
Alden reacted instinctively, trying to raise his defenses and place himself between her and Alexia. However, his barriers were shattered like glass, effortlessly pierced.
Before he could even understand what was happening, Alden felt a sharp pain: one of Sherazade’s blades had pierced his stomach. She was too fast for his eyes to follow, and the blow happened in the blink of an eye.
