‘An immune one!’ Jessie uttered.208Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ2FCcwvle
‘Then why are you helping them? You know what they do with immune ones, don’t you?’
‘Yes, I know. But just for your information—I’m not an immune one. My case is a little different. I’m a high priest.’
‘Then we can kill you!’ Larah concluded—and attacked.
The priest jumped to the side, dodging the slash that split the earth.
‘That weapon is dangerous,’ the woman muttered.
Jessie appeared on her left and swung her axe.208Please respect copyright.PENANABb3K28qUt2
The priest caught it with one arm.
‘I was blessed with immense strength! Hahaha!’
She hurled Jessie into a building and turned back to Larah, who came at her swinging.208Please respect copyright.PENANA00JpeEsF1S
The priest managed to avoid every strike, yet Larah didn’t seem bothered.
Suddenly, Larah rammed her sword into the ground—smoke rose.208Please respect copyright.PENANA27nCMuoKbh
Within it, a body flew toward the priest. She pounced on it—208Please respect copyright.PENANAB13L9wiM6K
and it exploded.
Just then, a sword pierced her chest.
Larah had circled around.
‘Pretty smart woman… or was I just dumb?’
‘I’d say both,’ Larah replied, yanking the katana free.
But the priest simply turned to her, smiling—and kicked her away.208Please respect copyright.PENANAaDS5nZtwU7
Larah flew into a building that collapsed from the impact.
The priest noticed movement to her right: Jessie was approaching, holding a black ghoul and mumbling:
‘I can’t die here.’
Sark, realizing what she was about to do, shouted:208Please respect copyright.PENANAthIdXS3mIU
‘Jessie, stop that nonsense!’
But Jessie didn’t care. She let the ghoul bite her.
The priest had no time to see what would happen next—Larah was already charging again. Her head was bleeding, but that wouldn’t stop her.208Please respect copyright.PENANAOHWdOp4YKq
On her way, she slashed through several ghouls—208Please respect copyright.PENANAVd2JwIjtV8
and with each kill, the wicked energy in her sword intensified.
She swung her blade—an energy wave shot at the priest.208Please respect copyright.PENANAv2d03bfWVY
The priest dove to the ground, just as the building behind her was sliced in two.
A faint grin crept onto Larah’s face.208Please respect copyright.PENANAnExCLaBsKM
The priest began smiling too. She cracked her fingers and marched forward—
—but then stopped.
Her eyes caught a sea of flames forming to her side.
From it, Jessie emerged.
Her eyes weren’t violet anymore—208Please respect copyright.PENANA2eRQ5jOsrf
they had turned crimson, burning like fire.208Please respect copyright.PENANAq56MJoXZvC
The demon energy from her axe had turned red.
‘A true immune one…’ the priest whispered.
True immune ones were rare—beings from the past who, when possessed by a demon, absorbed its power without losing themselves.208Please respect copyright.PENANAUxI09yKsfM
They sealed away the wicked energy completely—keeping their souls untarnished.
‘I’m back!’ Jessie declared, her voice strong and commanding.
The priest laughed, delighted.
‘It’s getting interesting. Then let me respond in kind!’
Some ghouls ran toward her—not to attack, but seemingly drawn to her.208Please respect copyright.PENANAzEXpv6A9wv
The priest struck them down—and devoured them.
‘Hahahah, yes! Let me introduce myself. I am the High Priest of the Light Sect—Suriel!’
‘I’m Jessie. And I’m here to kill Niyghel!’
‘I’m Larah. I’ll kill everyone… and save my child!’
‘Hey… and I’m Sark!’208Please respect copyright.PENANAtSJIRRugUK
The women glanced at Sark—briefly—then turned their focus back.
Larah and Jessie launched forward.208Please respect copyright.PENANAqrghOxv7iD
Larah was faster and reached Suriel first.
She tossed her katana into the air—Suriel’s eyes instinctively followed it.
A mistake.
Larah grabbed her by the shoulders—208Please respect copyright.PENANACfQAHsghnq
and headbutted her. Baaam!
But Larah was the one who stumbled back.
Suriel grabbed her head and slammed her into the ground.208Please respect copyright.PENANAndk8faUQDQ
Then she spun around toward Jessie, who had launched a sea of flames at her.
Suriel clapped her hands so forcefully that the wind extinguished the flames—208Please respect copyright.PENANAzbeZTnQDLI
and shoved Jessie backward.
Behind Suriel, Larah was already back on her feet.208Please respect copyright.PENANAIYgbTYXYxo
Her katana within reach—208Please respect copyright.PENANAUXwQQBenX2
she grabbed it, spun once, and swung at Suriel’s neck.
Suriel simply tilted her head—208Please respect copyright.PENANAtbXciqLsaU
and caught the blade with her teeth.208Please respect copyright.PENANARRxuk56jRt
She bit down, released, spun—208Please respect copyright.PENANAc8RzixhT02
and punched Larah into the air.
Next, she smashed her fist into the ground—208Please respect copyright.PENANAwoqizhKbA2
cracking it wide.
The earth buckled.208Please respect copyright.PENANAakXnDkM02I
Some sections rose, others dropped, warping the battlefield.
Jessie lost sight of Suriel.
Suddenly, a boulder beside her exploded—208Please respect copyright.PENANAd8g2I3tC7A
Suriel’s fist struck her face.
This time, Jessie stood her ground.
Suriel was too close for her to swing her axe—208Please respect copyright.PENANARCaBeoZkdr
so Jessie dropped it.208Please respect copyright.PENANA2GLrA8374N
And the two began trading punches.208Please respect copyright.PENANA0F3m9KrLW1
Neither relented.
Even the soldiers—and the ghouls—were stunned by what they saw.
Shaking his head, Sark continued shooting down ghouls.208Please respect copyright.PENANA5OZvhlg7DN
‘They’re not right in the head…’
Suriel eventually overpowered Jessie and brought her down with a punch.208Please respect copyright.PENANAKtMK2TJ6QR
But Jessie fell with a smile.
As soon as she hit the ground, flames exploded beneath them—208Please respect copyright.PENANAAd2Ip5xeix
blasting Suriel into the air.
Waiting above was Larah.
She gifted Suriel two clean slashes—forming an X on her chest.
But Suriel gave a gift in return—208Please respect copyright.PENANAOpglIbkNxu
she grabbed Larah and hugged her midair.208Please respect copyright.PENANANN6uU60i5A
As they dropped, Suriel spun—208Please respect copyright.PENANADtAOa1nmwq
a twister formed—208Please respect copyright.PENANAhpocj64RcC
and they crashed into the ground.
Suriel was the first to rise, laughing madly:
‘This is so much fun—hahahaha!’
Larah stood, heavily wounded—but still ready.208Please respect copyright.PENANAuAe8Bllw2d
Jessie, too, was in rough shape.208Please respect copyright.PENANAwSYn4bfeWF
Suriel’s chest wouldn’t stop bleeding.
The fight was reaching its limit.
Then—men in suits appeared.
They shot down the ghouls with precision.208Please respect copyright.PENANALaaniTPmdz
The soldiers looked stunned.
But Sark recognized them.
The suited men made way—for her.
A woman walked calmly through them.208Please respect copyright.PENANAv3JyDHfwaa
She had dark skin and long, curly hair.208Please respect copyright.PENANAmoz7UtwU8Y
Her presence alone commanded respect.208Please respect copyright.PENANATQF1g7wAdt
Her eyes glowed with a deep night blue.
A ghoul lunged at her.
She grabbed it by the neck—208Please respect copyright.PENANAXjfZaDD2gh
and slammed it into the ground.
Baaaaaam.208Please respect copyright.PENANAI7LhYlqGtD
The ghoul was dead.
The woman stopped in front of Sark.
‘Won’t you greet your mother?’208Please respect copyright.PENANAKcxPEqI4vH
