Chapter 435: Proof of Existence (23)
0% ‘The masked assailant’.
A figure presumed to be an associate of the Dark Order. Always appeared wearing a pure white mask—and every time someone caught a glimpse of them, they passed out almost instantly.
My companions had spotted them three times already. But today was the first time I faced them directly.
The fourth time, no less.
Of course, it couldn’t be a coincidence. Though I couldn’t fathom the reason, I hoped this battle would serve as a chance to uncover it.
I etched the enemy’s appearance thoroughly onto my retina as we finally met.
The opponent was a powerful individual who had knocked out Dame Irene in one go. There was no guarantee I’d fare any better. So I had to cram as much information as possible into my mind.

Were they a man or woman? I now understood why there had been no mention of this. Their physique was utterly indiscernible.
Their slim waist reminded me of a woman, but their flat, hard muscles were characteristic of a man. Even their Adam’s apple was oddly underdeveloped.
And above all, the masked assailant exuded a bizarre aura.
