I am a female swordsman.

Or rather, suppressing the demon's instincts.

Tamos once told Huang Quan that demons don't need to learn or adapt to controlling magical energy; it's like a fish's innate ability to swim or a hawk's natural instinct to soar through the sky. Another benefit of Huang Quan's increasing semi-demonization is that her affinity for magical energy is growing daily!

She can do many things with magic that she couldn't do before!

For example, perception!

By spreading her magical energy in a linear direction with all her might, while maintaining a basic awareness of the strength of threats to life signals, Huang Quan can detect individuals with strong signals from a very long distance. In addition, with her terrifying intuition as a swordsman—a sense that anticipates even the slightest movement—virtually no one can escape Huang Quan's perception.

Unless they are masters whose skills in concealment and disguise are almost like the Tao!

Clearly, there was no such person among the Nazi special operations team who was the target of this operation.

Using his terrifying sensory abilities, along with Lin's mental link, Huang Quan, who had become a human radar, searched for the target based on the area coordinates and target characteristics provided by Captain America after landing. In less than half an hour, he locked onto the target that was rapidly moving in this deep mountain and dense forest area!

"There were more than 30 people in total, but I felt a stronger connection to two of them than to the others. ... Their route was very fixed, heading north, and their intention was very clear: to get back into Germany."

Crouching on the ground, Huang Quan, with her bright and clear eyes tightly closed, carefully sensed the multiple rapidly moving targets.

An ominous and insane crimson color completely stained the corners of her eyes with an eerie, fiery red!

"We'll advance to the left; we're confident we can intercept them ahead of us!" Having slightly unleashed her demonic instincts, Huang Quan exuded a dangerous aura at all times, especially the instinctive upward curve of her rosy lips, which made one wonder if she was thinking of some cruel pleasure.

Lin, holding a Lee-Enfield, was practically overflowing with adoration for Huang Quan!

Miss Raven's reconnaissance abilities are even more exaggerated and terrifying than his, one of the top reconnaissance superhumans in the Justice League!

"For justice, let's go!!"

Lin excitedly shouted the "Justice League" slogan, but neither Shadow Demon nor Yellow Springs, who had already entered a fierce battle, responded. This made Lin, who was used to the Justice League's fighting style, scratch his head awkwardly, pick up his weapon, and silently follow the two.

As expected, compared to these seasoned veterans of superhuman abilities, he appeared extremely inexperienced in every aspect.

We must learn from them!

In fact, there was one unusual aspect of the investigation results that Huang Quan didn't mention. Regarding the target about the Undead Legion provided by Captain America, Huang Quan clearly sensed a mysterious anomaly during her investigation. This anomaly was the first time she had perceived it in either of the two worlds, which made her suspicious…

What exactly does this existence, which is a mixture of various anomalies and completely out of place in this world, represent?

Is this related to the Undead Legion and the Underworld behind it?

………………

In the deep mountains and dense forests, the sunlight filtering through the thin mist has no warmth whatsoever.

Everything was cold and lifeless; even the sunlight seemed listless and dying. Special operations forces from Orningburg, Germany, advanced steadily, barely audible, having just emerged from a battle with the Justice League and returning home.

"stop."

Suddenly, the man in the lead stopped his relaxed pace.

A pair of iridescent eyes stood out starkly in the dark forest. A black-haired man in a Nazi overcoat suddenly reached out and grabbed at the dim space! The quiet environment was suddenly filled with a hissing sound like steam being ejected, and streaks of scarlet color continuously seeped out from the gaps in the man's clenched fist!

"Captain, it seems we have another tail following us."

The black-haired man said this with great interest to a tall, burly soldier beside him.

The burly captain, with a cold and aloof expression, wore a tight-fitting suit; his streamlined, well-defined muscles exuded explosive power. His amber, vertical pupils, like those of a lone wolf on the Siberian plains, inadvertently revealed a chilling, ferocious savagery!

"..."

Perhaps due to his reticence, the werewolf captain remained silent and looked intently at the black-haired man, as if seeking his opinion.

"alright, I got it."

The dark-haired man smiled helplessly. After all, he was Captain Bruff, known for his taciturn nature. They had worked together on so many missions without him ever saying a word, so he was used to it. Although he didn't like to talk, he was a trustworthy and reliable soldier!

The confident voice of the man with black hair and rainbow eyes reached the ears of every soldier in the Orningburg Special Forces!

"Gentlemen of Germany! Objective changed! Eliminate our pursuers, then return home laden with glory!! Forward!!!"

Let's deliver another heavy blow to the Justice League!

This will once again show the arrogant Allies what hell is!

Let the flames of war once again spread across the world!

The man in the military overcoat, whose title was "The Depriver," couldn't hide his ecstatic reverie. What a joyful and romantic thing this was—constantly bestowing despair and death upon his enemies, destroying their proud mission of justice! Just thinking about it made him unable to contain his excitement!

Captain Werewolf's eyes flickered slightly, his gaze lingering on [The Depriver] for a moment before returning to his own.

He was just a soldier, simply following orders.

A soldier without willpower is the most crippled soldier, but also the most terrifying killing machine. The major's willpower was simply his willpower, nothing more.

Two blurry figures disappeared into the depths of the dark forest. This combat force, which had caused considerable harm to the Justice League and its allies, was like a sharp sword under orders, swiftly cutting off in another direction. And this time, their advance was directly opposite to that of Huang Quan and his group!

A spectacular hunt, where each side sees the other as prey, is unfolding in the dense forest!

Chapter Twenty-One: Facing the Enemy

In the complex environment of a dense forest, a person's vision and hearing will be put to a great test.

If this were happening at a rapid pace, the difficulty of the challenge would undoubtedly increase even further. The distinctive, fishy smell of grass, wood, and rocks constantly assaulted Lin's nostrils, and he was using every trick in the book to keep up with the two figures ahead of him. The swiftly moving Mr. Shadow and Ms. Crow didn't seem to be racing through the rugged, complex mountain forests at all; it was more like they were galloping unimpeded along a flat, open road!

The difference between second-order and first-order is not small.

I really don't know when he will be able to advance to the second tier. Advancement for mental ability users has always been difficult, so it feels like it will be a long way off.

While Lin was lost in thought, Huang Quan and the Demon Shadow, who had been moving at a normal speed ahead of him, accelerated almost simultaneously and disappeared from Lin's sight in the blink of an eye!

Before he could even be surprised, the smoky voice of the demonic figure rang directly into Yu Lin's mind through the mental link!

"Lin, the situation has changed; the enemy has discovered us."

This was followed by Huang Quan's signature hoarse voice.

"Shadow Demon and I will go ahead. You stay behind and maintain the mental link to provide support and containment." The enemy not only did not flee, but also took the initiative to attack, which caught Huang Quan somewhat off guard.

This doesn't seem like a cunning fox that would run away after a successful sneak attack.

More like an ambitious lion.

These people are incredibly audacious! They just clashed with the Justice League, and now they dare to launch an attack midway through their retreat. No wonder, though; without this audacious spirit, the Third Reich wouldn't have dared to challenge almost the entire world's power single-handedly, achieving this astonishing yet cursed feat!

Even as enemies...

Huang Quan couldn't help but admire this courage. Having spent a long time in the West, she had seen too many despicable tricks and killings driven by dirty desires. No matter how indifferent she was, a little bit of fighting spirit was ignited in her!

Perhaps only in battle can Huang Quan recall the many precious qualities he possessed as a human being.

"I died where monsters were born." If that human girl, newly arrived in the ghoul world, filled with fear and trepidation at the unknown, were still the same person she once was, she would surely have said this. For no reason at all, it was as if Huang Quan heard her past self say this through a mirror.

That version of myself who was once lost, uneasy, and fearful of the unknown.

………………

The encounter was so sudden.

Beyond sight but within perception, the scorching bullet fragments raining down from the demonic figure pierced a tall coniferous tree in front of him, so thick that it would take several people to encircle it, leaving a neat and beautiful penetrating cross-shaped pattern! Through the gap, the demonic figure saw a pair of wolf eyes filled with bloodlust!

Blood and sweat seeped from his trembling chest, and black cross-shaped markings were etched on the werewolf captain's chest like holy marks!

"I like to use this to greet people, you don't mind, do you?"

Werewolf!

Although not an undead creature, it was still on the Shadow's hunting list. It possessed the strength of a bear, the speed of a leopard, and an extremely tenacious will to live.

"Hoohoo!!"

"You're definitely worth me firing a second shot, you little wolf cub!"

Like a bellows hissing violently, under attack and provocation, the werewolf captain's beautiful blue eyes gradually turned crimson, his wild rage locking onto the shadowy figure through his wolfish gaze. Clearly, the German werewolf captain didn't quite like the Western way of greeting; after all, greeting with gunfire was far too enthusiastic.

Hiss!

Tearing off his bullet-riddled, close-fitting clothes, the werewolf captain silently vanished into the gap in the crossroads. The next moment! A ruthless, merciless foot strike sliced ​​through dozens of towering trees between them, slicing down towards the shadowy figure's head! The werewolf captain's surging bloodlust roared silently!

"You have more shadow than blood in my body, you can't kill me!!"

They cheered loudly to welcome the arrival of the enemy, and the flames on the demonic figure burned fiercely! The flames exploded and spread in all directions!

Boom! Boom!

A deafening, deafening sound, like that of demolition, came from the side. Huang Quan, who was taking a leisurely stroll, was met with the unusual aura he sensed.

A black-haired man in a coat, and more than twenty soldiers from Oningburg.

Lady Luck did not smile upon her.

"You've come to hunt me down all by yourself; you certainly have the courage." [The Depriver] raised an eyebrow upon noticing Huang Quan, and his eyes lit up after seeing her face clearly. "A beautiful young lady indeed! Meeting her in this environment is truly exciting!"

The Depriver didn't rush to attack, displaying an air of absolute confidence. He even gestured to the soldiers around him not to fire, his possessive gaze lingering greedily over Huang Quan's proud figure.

"Was it fate that brought you to me? Beautiful lady, before I met you, I never believed in fate, but now I am filled with anticipation for it!" The high-bridged nose of the [Depriver] winked at the serene Huang Quan, this cold and beautiful woman filled him with a desire to conquer her.

"You're quite the smooth talker," Huang Quan said softly, feeling teased.

"Many women have praised me like this, but none of them have ever been as sweet as yours, which makes me feel flustered."

Extreme narcissism and egotistical thinking, it's disgusting.

Huang Quan admitted she was a little displeased. She really didn't know where this man got the confidence and courage to be so presumptuous in front of her. This guy, who thought everything was a matter of course and would revolve according to his own understanding, was truly insulting to the fighting spirit she had originally raised!

That being the case...

"Let's use this against you."

With a slight flick of his left hand, the demonic energy that had been covering it no longer concealed its true form, revealing the hideous and terrifying limbs of his demonic transformation! His crimson eyes seemed to boil over at that moment, and Huang Quan's wicked smile made the [Depriver] lose his composure!

In that split second of hesitation, the head of an Orningburg special forces soldier was brutally blown apart!

The demonized Yellow Springs trod upon his headless corpse.

Her left hand, with its long, sharp claws, moved rhythmically up and down. Whether it was blood or viscous magical energy, it was impossible to tell which was which, writhing and twisting, flowed along her ferocious arm. Standing amidst the enemy ranks, she was creating fear, spreading this heart-wrenching terror to even more people! Her very existence was fear and disaster!!

The special forces members from Fort Orning, closest to the dead, immediately turned their guns and pulled the triggers! A crisscrossing web of metal flashes instantly formed a death trap!

"gorgeous."

Instead of being angry about the brutal murder of his subordinate, the Depriver's possessiveness toward Huang Quan became even more intense!
