In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Maria was a little confused.

"Why don't you run away?"

"Sister, you still don't know..."

The old woman smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"This wilderness is filled with mountains upon mountains. How many mountains can we climb in a day, and how far can we run? With the beasts fighting, we have nowhere to hide... In that case, staying home is always a good option..."

Perhaps because she has seen too many separations of life and death, this girl now looks at death very calmly and indifferently.

Maria also looked at the other person silently, and after a long pause, she sighed slightly.

"You won't even struggle?"

“Of course there will be struggles, but that’s not my thing anymore.”

Facing the imminent threat, the old woman still smiled. She waved her hand and asked someone to call someone, then looked at Maria again.

"You may not know, but I'm no longer the village chief. I'm old and can barely walk. I should have given up my position long ago. Now the village is led by another young man..."

"They will flee here with the remaining young people who can still walk... and we old people should stay here and not hold the young people back."

The old woman spoke calmly, and her meaning seemed to be that the young people in the village should run away first, and they, the old people, would stay here and wait to die!

Maria also looked at the other person calmly.

After a pause, she stood up silently and left without saying a word...

……

By the time Maria returned to the mountains, the two giant beasts had been facing each other for a long time.

The girl carrying the long sword looked up at the giant beast that was looming in the sky with a sharp look in her eyes.

After noticing Maria's arrival, she also smiled.

"You're finally back... I think a fight between two people is a little less interesting. The more people, the better!"

The girl said this and stamped her foot, causing the ground to shake rapidly.

The rocks of the entire mountain began to collapse, revealing the ferocious body that had been hidden inside for who knows how many years!

The girl has always been just an incarnation, and her real body has always been hidden in the mountains!

Meanwhile, Sky's growls and threats became more and more pronounced, as if he was getting tired of waiting.

The brutal murderous intent came like an overwhelming force, even turning into substance and crushing the mountains and forests!

"Don't be so anxious... I told you I'm a man of my word."

The girl laughed loudly, picked up the sword, and the aura on her body rose up, turning into a golden flame-like light, burning towards the sky!

The two brutal and ferocious auras collided and merged together in just an instant.

No distinction between top and bottom!

Maria could even foresee what this mountain range would look like if the two men went to war.

but……

"Today may not be a good time to fight..."

"Huh? You're talking about that now?"

The eager girl made an exaggerated expression and looked at Maria with a smile.

"You don't count in this kind of thing."

"……Do not."

Maria shook her head silently and took off her tricorn hat.

His grey eyes were slightly red.

"This matter...I have the final say..."

Chapter 297: Is it okay? Is it okay?!

"damn it!"

The giant beast in the sky took a big step back and could no longer stabilize its body. It knelt on one knee and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of strange black and red blood.

And on her abdomen, a bloody wound was clearly visible.

On the other side, the girl holding the long sword was also feeling bad.

Although she did not kneel, she stuck her sword into the ground and staggered.

But there was no pain on her face, instead there was an uncontrollable fanaticism.

"That's right... This is combat!"

She growled, trying to pull herself up, and looked at Maria in front of her.

The smile on his face was bright and intense.

"Hey? Why don't you pull out your true form? If you keep going like this, I won't let you go on~"

The girl holding the sword looked at Maria, whose face was pale, and gave her a kind reminder.

Of course, considering her own personality, it is unknown whether this reminder is well-intentioned or simply means that she is pursuing a more intense battle.

"..."

Maria did not reply, or perhaps even she found it difficult to reply at this moment.

"cough……"

Unable to help but cough up some blood mist, Maria stood up silently and slowly adjusted her breathing.

Maria has faced many situations in her life where she had to fight against many enemies at once. In fact, most of the time, as a hunter, she always had to fight her way out of a crowd of monsters.

But like now, being surrounded and fighting with two giant beasts was still too tiring for her.

The giant beast Godan may still be hanging in the sky. Maria dare not easily release her true authority, so she can only rely on her own body and experience to fight the two guys in front of her.

This caused her to feel slightly weak at this moment.

But even so, Maria's fighting spirit and fighting ability are amazing.

That unwavering gaze was so determined that it was a little scary even from the perspective of a giant beast.

Every time they struck Maria, they couldn't make her retreat even a little bit. Every time they attacked, they had to be prepared for Maria's counterattack!

As a result, the two giant beasts at the scene had to unite and deal with Maria carefully.

Maria adjusted her breathing again, adjusted her state, and looked at the two giant beasts on the scene.

After a moment, she clenched her fists again.

"Still unwilling to give up?"

"...What an impudent fellow."

At the side, the burly woman in red was also gritting her teeth. She tried to stand up and fight with Maria again.

But the woman holding the sword next to her shook her head.

"It's boring, I won't fight anymore..."

"Um?!"

The burly woman turned her head in surprise and looked at the other person in disbelief.

But the other party curled his lips.

"What's the point of fighting as a proxy? If you want to fight, you have to fight with all your might. Otherwise, even if you win, it's meaningless."

"If she refuses to use her full strength, then I'm not interested anymore. You can fight if you want."

"Do you think I don't dare?"

The burly woman frowned, clenched her fists, and spoke in a sharp tone.

But the woman holding the sword waved her hand.

"Don't you dare to mind my business? I don't care."

The sword-wielding woman spoke in a very bad tone.

She was looking for a good fight, but Maria's unwillingness to use her full strength made her gradually lose interest in the battle.

So she chose not to fight.

As for whether women still want to fight...what does that have to do with me?

Let her fight if she wants to. I'm not interested anyway.

"you……"

Seeing the other person like this, the burly woman couldn't help but grit her teeth.

She turned her head again and looked at Maria beside her.

Maria also showed a gesture of responding, with a slightly stern look in her eyes.

She is not afraid of any battle...as long as the other party still wants to fight.

As for the woman...does she dare to fight?

Of course she dares.

As a giant beast, she never takes anything other than other giant beasts seriously.

But...Maria is a special case.

She has proved with her own strength that she has the power to rival, or even surpass, the giant beasts!

At least, if I, who am only using an agent, really fight the other side with all my strength, the situation will probably be one-sided.

As for what the outcome of the battle will be after summoning the real body...that is unknown.

She looked at Maria, then at the woman with a sword who seemed to be giving up but whose eyes were rolling around, and she gritted her teeth slightly.

"I'll let you go this time, but next time, you won't have such a good chance!"

After saying this, she turned around and her body transformed into countless petals and flew away.

Although he really didn't dare to continue fighting with Maria, he had to say some harsh words.

Maria didn't care about this problem.

On the one hand, there was really no need to continue the pursuit, but on the other hand...

Maria turned her head and looked at the idle girl beside her.

"Aren't you going to fight?"

"Are you willing to summon your true form?"

"I don't have what you call a true body..."

"let it go."

The girl shook her head, her expression casual.

"If you don't even use your full strength, why should I fight you..."

As the girl spoke, she sat there, looking at the clouds gradually moving away in the sky, and shook her head slightly.

"Come to think of it... who are you anyway? I still don't know who you are."

The sword-wielding girl was grinning and seemed completely defenseless against Maria.

Maria also tilted her head slightly.

"Maria..."

"Maria? What a strange name... You're not from this area, are you?"

The sword-wielding girl tilted her head with a strange expression on her face.
