The blonde woman's left arm had completely disappeared, leaving only her smooth left shoulder and the severed mechanical interface exposed there.

Flashes of electricity roamed over the broken wires with their mechanical interfaces.

Slender, white fingers traced the black muddy water as the woman's bent right hand slowly exerted force, supporting her mutilated body.

The continuous torrential rain has covered the earth with puddles that reflect the faint light.

In the reflection of the pool, a giant turtle was slowly crawling towards the woman.

Its back is covered with upright metal blades, making it look like a hedgehog covered in sharp knives.

However, the sharp knives on its back were not evenly distributed at this moment. Some places were covered with a dense array of sharp knives, while others were grooves that looked like they had been pierced by sharp knives.

Between these grooves, a huge, charred hole reveals its grotesque shape. This hole pierced through the giant tortoise's shell, exposing the writhing flesh beneath.

But that's all.

The giant tortoise slowly crawled toward the woman sitting on the ground, its back twitching as if it were about to suddenly fly out.

The woman sat down on the ground with difficulty. After that overloaded attack, her body was severely overloaded and she had no fighting power for a short time.

But her strongest attack just now only managed to pierce the shell of the knife-wielding turtle in front of her.

She was surrounded by blades deeply embedded in the concrete, blades that the knife turtle had just projected from its back.

These blades were incredibly sharp and could easily pierce through her body. Before, she could dodge them with her superior mobility, but now, she could barely even move her body.

The blade on the turtle's back wriggled and slowly changed direction, pointing at the woman sitting on the ground.

The torrential rain dripped down the woman's beautiful blonde hair.

Not far away, a girl carrying a mithril box was rushing towards them in a panic.

-

Heo gripped the hilt of his sword in reverse and gazed at Ainoan in the sky.

A tremendous power was gathering within him, and a frenzied murmur, almost tangible, spread around him.

The ceremony performed by Ainuoan at this moment was not perfect and did not achieve the effect he expected. It was a promotion that he had to carry out under pressure from He'ao.

Even so, he is still a genuine B-grade.

At this moment, Ainoan's face showed a painful expression, as if he was being tormented by the power of the secret medicine and had fallen into a state of weakness.

However, in the vision of the super memory, the 'phantom' on Ainoan's body was exceptionally powerful and was constantly increasing in strength.

This proves that Ainoan is not as weak as he appears. The old man deliberately set a trap for Heo, giving Heo an 'opportunity' to lure him into his trap.

He bowed slightly, then leaped into the air, heading straight for Ainoan in the sky.

This time, he encountered no obstacles whatsoever, not even a single fireball could stop him.

Ainoan seemed to be genuinely suffering from some kind of weakness during his advancement; his expression was filled with...

He had a pained expression on his face.

Just as He Ao was about to step into the space around him, the pained expression on his face gradually disappeared.

Although he could easily kill Heo, his recent battle with Heo forced him to take this 'child' seriously.

Therefore, he didn't mind using a little trickery to increase his chances of taking down this 'brat' who had caused him to lose an elite force.

His performance was very realistic, and he was very confident in his acting skills.

He watched as Heo drew closer and closer to him.

Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one.

dead!

The surging flames rushed toward Heo in an instant.

However, instead of attacking him, Heo suddenly plunged the tip of his sword into the armored vehicle beside him.

The flexible blade bent, changing He Ao's direction of advance.

After the direction was corrected, the sharp blade was pulled out precisely from the gap that had been cut into the armored vehicle.

He Ao rolled into the rain, almost touching Ai Nuo'an's face, and disappeared into the dark alley at the end of the road.

A strong sense of humiliation welled up in Ai Nuoan's heart.

This kid was clearly humiliating him, mocking him to his face.

Inoan had never been insulted to this extent.

He glanced at the alley where He Ao had left, then at the road ahead.

He Ao left; he should have gone straight to the Palace of Glory.

Although Christos is also a C-rank, he is not a combat-type C-rank. In a fight, he can kill his opponent with one move.

He has now been promoted to B-level. Although it did not go as smoothly as originally planned, he still has the right to negotiate, and the plan can continue.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't dwell on this.

But the humiliation He Ao inflicted on him made him extremely angry, and he rushed into the rain without hesitation, chasing after He Ao in the direction he had gone.

A surge of flames spread around him, and the powerful pressure seemed to make the raindrops around him tremble.

He had a strong idea in his mind.

It's still early, let's take care of this brat first!

-

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the air, grazed the blonde woman's head, and crashed into the wall behind her.

With a loud crash, the wall collapsed, and the blade fell into the room, with most of it embedded in the ground.

The Knife Turtle's shooting accuracy was poor, as the blonde woman had already learned during the previous battle. She struggled to her feet and stared at the Knife Turtle in the distance.

Her body is gradually regaining its mobility.

At this moment, the knife turtle once again aimed at her, but this time, it wasn't just one blade, but dozens of blades densely packed together.

The knife turtle isn't very accurate, but it has many blades.

It can forgo aiming and launch a direct, area-of-effect attack.

The blonde woman gazed at the enormous beast.

Is it over?

She glanced back at the city behind her, and a slow smile crept onto her lips.

At least, she delayed for this long.

The FBI's Class C should be arriving soon.

During the time she delays, many, many fewer people will die.

However, it didn't allow everyone to survive.

Just then, a dark-skinned girl in a red leather skirt suddenly stepped across the pond and rushed to her side.

She opened the mithril chest in her arms, and a writhing heart was exposed to the air.

"Sister, our leader said you can borrow this C-grade extraordinary item. It's the heart of the Bitter Ape. Its ability is to make you stronger the more injured you are, but there's a price to pay..."

However, before the girl could finish speaking, the blonde woman suddenly grabbed the heart, leaped into the air, and charged towards the knife turtle.

The heart melted in her hands, turning into countless thin strips of flesh that enveloped her body, mending her wounds and rebuilding her missing arm.

A stunningly beautiful woman, a blend of flesh and machine, appeared in Penny's field of vision.

"The price will be the removal of some of your flesh and blood..."

Penny stared blankly at the blonde woman's retreating figure, suddenly realizing that whether she told her or not the price might not matter...

Because the opponent's torso has no flesh and blood at all; it is completely mechanical.

She paused for a moment, then tossed the mithril box aside and ran deeper into the city.

Chapter 322 Dawn Breaks, Leader (Mission Completed/Two-in-One Collection Requested)

He Ao was not fast; his entire body was charred, and every step was accompanied by intense pain.

Even so, he managed to escape a considerable distance using various techniques.

Finally, he was caught up by Ainoan on the rooftop of an abandoned building.

Ainoan's obsession with killing Heo stemmed from the fact that Heo had placed a 'temptation' on her.

While the lure's effect on B-rank powerhouses has weakened, its effect is greatly amplified if the bait has a special attraction for the target.

If the mockery is done properly, Aino will be drawn to Heo.

When Aino caught up with Heo, Heo was squatting in a corner of the rooftop, struggling to support himself with his short sword.

"I actually have a question,"

He Ao looked up at Ai Nuoan and asked, "About two hundred kilometers south of Dawn City, there is a snow mountain called Wino. At the foot of the snow mountain, there is a thriving trading camp. Have you ever sent people to attack that camp?"

Ainan stopped and looked at He'ao, then suddenly smiled. "Child, I was wondering why you looked so familiar. So you're Kano's child. I know your father."

The flesh and blood in his chest writhed, sometimes turning into swaying buds of flesh, and sometimes into smooth skin.

"Your father is an excellent man,"

Ainan approached He'ao step by step and said softly, "About ten years ago, I disguised myself as a fur merchant and went to the wilderness to investigate the riot of strange beasts. It was at that time that I met your father."

Your father was a very farsighted man. He realized that trading with the Wilderness Hunters was not a sustainable business, so he always tried to cultivate relationships in the city and sell the furs directly to Dawn City.

We ended up having a very pleasant conversation, and I agreed to help him "take care of" the city garrison so they could enter the city to sell furs.

After that, we often exchanged letters. I admired his wisdom and character, so I made an exception and granted the wanderer from the wilderness the right to directly enter the city to sell furs.

"Then you turned around and told the Wilderness Hunters this news, stirring up trouble between them and our camp,"

He Ao calmly looked at Ai Nuoan, "The mercenary that Wilderness Hunter hired to attack my father was close to C-level. Given Wilderness Hunter's financial resources and unity, it's impossible for them to afford such a mercenary. So, that mercenary was probably hired by your people, right?"

In the incident where Ronald's father was attacked by the Wilderness Hunters, the bribed traitor Hank stayed in Dawn City, easily evading the camp's pursuit, and continued to capture Wilderness Wanderers for Kyle Manufacturing Company.
