CHAPTER 846: CHAPTER 659: NOT HUMAN?

"---What?"

The sudden change in the situation made the Hermes Clan members desperately battling the man-eating flower monster and Reveis, locked in fierce combat with Reiger, change their expressions.

They saw it.

Saw the scene where the [Sword Princess], surrounded by the army of man-eating flower monsters, unleashed an all-encompassing strike like a whirlwind, covering 360 degrees without blind spots.

The sword light, seemingly tens of meters long, centered around the blonde, gold-eyed female swordsman, enveloped by a whirlwind, severed all the man-eating flower monsters surrounding her, causing them to scream and split into dust, disappearing—truly a breathtaking spectacle.

"That wind..."

Reveis even stared deathly at Ais, her expression continually changing.

"No, that is not the wind ’she’ is searching for."

But why, upon witnessing the female swordswoman wrapped in wind, did the "blood" within her seem to stir restlessly?

"Could it be her?"

Reveis’ expression shifted unpredictably as she watched Ais.

For Reveis, Reiger naturally wouldn’t let her go easily.

"Distracted at a time like this, it seems you’re easier to handle than I thought, lady monster."

As the unusually calm voice reached Reveis’ ears, her heart tightened.

"Clang!"

A forceful strike slammed down on the red sword Reveis had raised, disrupting her stance, causing her body to lean back.

"Damn...!"

Reveis, shocked within, exclaimed.

"Huu—haa—"

The same breath as Ais at this very moment emerged, enveloping the young man battling the red-haired female monster.

"Wind Breathing·Sixth Form·Black Wind Smoke!"

The young man swung his sword upward, his crystal sword slicing through the air, and with this strike, it carried not only a Wind Blade but also sharp Sword Qi.

Sharper than any previous strike, propelled by the wind, with increased speed, it slashed towards Reveis.

"Guh...!"

Reveis’ pupils shrank, clearly feeling the threat of this strike.

But by then, it was too late to evade.

Thus, Reveis opted to sacrifice one arm.

"Splrrt!"

In the split-second sound of flesh being ripped, Reveis raised a hand to block in front, erupting with a burst of blood.

"Gyaa...!"

Reveis swallowed the impending scream, with her left arm severed, her body drenched in blood, she was propelled backward as if struck by Thunder.

"Wind Breathing·Fourth Form..."

At this sight, Ais, having dispatched all man-eating flower monsters around her, launched her pursuit.

"Sandstorm Rising!"

Standing on the ground, the female swordsman slashed out five sharp Wind Blades towards Reveis in mid-air, causing the wind-enhanced strikes to spiral and span the distance, falling upon the retreating Reveis.

"Splrrt!" "Splrrt!" "Splrrt!" "Splrrt!" "Splrrt!"

As the five cutting sounds rang out, Reveis, never expecting Ais to unleash a long-distance attack, groaned, with savage wounds all over her body bleeding profusely.

"Boom!"

Finally, Reveis, in retreat, crashed into the green meat wall, shattering it.

The red-haired woman’s form was buried under countless rubble, disappearing from sight.

Reiger descended from mid-air, landing before the rubble pile, exhaling.

"Are you okay?"

Ais reached Reiger’s side, staying vigilant while asking with concern.

No choice.

Upon close inspection, Reiger’s non-sword-wielding hand was also bleeding, blood dripping from his fist, staining the green meat ground.

"I’m fine, just a scratch." Reiger shook his head, saying, "Be careful, that lady monster hasn’t been dealt with; she might not be human."

"...Not human?"

Ais was instantly stunned.

"Not human?" Asafi heard Reiger’s words too, saying in shock, "What does this mean?"

"Just as it says." Reiger said expressionlessly, "Not mentioning her abnormal strength and self-healing ability, just talking about her skin—it’s unbelievably tough, tough enough that hitting her now would also hurt myself."

Reiger’s hand got injured and bleeding due to hitting Reveis, her tough skin causing a recoil.

"Such a level of ’durability’, even Grace wouldn’t possess, right?"

One of the trio in the Headquarters Camp of the Loki Clan, Grace Landrock, is an avant-garde type adventurer.

What does avant-garde mean?

It means serving as a vanguard with capabilities far beyond regular vanguards, possessing superior vanguard abilities.

And there are four main reasons for achieving this.

Firstly, Grace is a dwarf, a race known for its sturdy physique among all lower realm humans, naturally possessing greater strength and resilience.

Secondly, Grace’s parameters for "Strength" and "Durability" are both at the S stage, the highest in the Loki Clan, and aside from Reiger, the only one who can train two parameters to the S stage.

Additionally, Grace’s development abilities are almost all related to "Strength" and "Durability," allowing for adjustment of these abilities.

Lastly, Grace also possesses two skills, one to enhance the "Strength" parameter, and one to enhance the "Durability" parameter, further reinforcing these abilities.
