Chapter 318: Faded Promise (10)
A wild and ferocious fire raged as though it could consume the entire world. The flames swirled freely through the air like living creatures and wrapped around the charging demonkin, burning them to ashes.
“Aaaaaargh!”
Acrid smoke from their burning flesh filled the chamber like the fog blanketing the Sky Mountains. The searing heat felt like it could incinerate one’s soul. The demonkin couldn’t even approach Song Ha-Eun properly. They could only scream in agony.
“Q-Quick, we have to kill that bitch!” One of the demonkin managed to push through the flames and reached Song Ha-Eun.
“What the hell? Why are you calling me a bitch when we just met?” Song Ha-Eun took a boxing stance, bouncing lightly on her feet.
Though her Stigma specialized in long-range attacks, her natural reflexes and consistent training had given her formidable close-combat skills as well.
She jumped lightly in rhythm and landed a straight punch on the approaching demonkin.
Smack!
With the crunch of a nose breaking, the demonkin was sent flying backward.
“That’s more like it!” she said.
Song-Ha felt light as a feather. Even her casual punch carried devastating power.
She danced between the demonkin charging through the flames, taking each one down with a single punch.
