Chapter 243 242. Phoenix Kin And SS-Ranked Players.

Tuwile, who was still pissed off about being ignored, pulled back his sword-holding arm and stabbed again, a lot more fiercely this time.

"!!!" Seo Hana's eyes snapped wide open when she noticed him getting ready to stab again; though she was ready for it, it seemed a bit too fast, and she had to use everything in her arsenal to just dodge a single attack from Tuwile.

WHOOSH

SWISH

BOOM (2x)

"Argh!" Seo Hana groaned and dodged another one of Tuwile's wild sword swings.

WHOOSH

BOOM

She was concentrating on her left arm because she needed that arm to balance herself and to actually put up a fight against him, so she now understood properly how hard it is to concentrate on two important things at once.

"F**k it." Seo Hana suddenly yelled and concentrated only on her magic power and not on healing her left arm.

WHOOMM

And then suddenly, a clawed arm made of her magic power materialised out of nowhere, and though she didn't exactly plan anything when concentrating on her magic power, she now had a phoenix's left claw as her left arm, with perfect weight and mana flow, and it felt like her own arm had regenerated perfectly, but she knew her left claw was a lot stronger than her actual arm ever was.

"Thank you." She thanked Tuwile, who was staring at the mesmerising arm in a daze, and before he could even recover from his daze, Seo Hana punched him with her left claw.

BAM!

BOOM

And his body flew down and crashed to the ground due to the force behind Seo Hana's arm. Both of them were shocked at how strong it was, but one was more shocked than the other, and that was Seo Hana, because she knew that she didn't really put in any actual strength behind it as she wasn't someone who trained much physically.

"Do not think that you can now defeat me just because you just gained another strong ability." Tuwile said after standing back up on his feet and wiped the black blood that trickled down from his mouth.

'No, I didn't really think anything like that.' Seo Hana grumbled inwardly. And due to the shock, her mind slightly cleared, and her eyes regained their light, but it was only for a moment before she realised that fact, and the faces of the humans who were killing themselves reappeared in her mind and her eyes lost their glow again.

"Heh." As soon as he noticed the glow in her eyes turn dim, he scoffed at them.

And meanwhile.

The humans in other sectors were being killed mercilessly, and the players of the past—a very few SS-ranked players—appeared out of nowhere and killed the demons off. Dwayne Knight, Kane Romero, and Lanna Romero were the only ones that appeared to deal with the demons.

There were more: Katharine's parents, Quinn Walker, Violet's parents, and Stan Walton, but they didn't appear. Why? Because Katharine's parents were killed, so was Quinn Walker, but Violet's parents were made into vampire thralls by Samantha or Kensa Pawn, and Stan Walton, well, he just had other things to deal with as the association chairman, or so he said.

​

Dwayne Knight was also one of the association chairmen, and the last of the association chairmen was Reynard Tyler, the grandfather of Violet Tyler; he had abandoned everything and gone into the mountains in the pursuit of "greater strength." He loved his granddaughter, but he couldn't quite show it because he didn't know how. The situation Violet is in right now would be cleared in an instant, but since he didn't know anything about his family and Violet's luck didn't seem to be that high either, she couldn't do anything but wait for her chance to contact Eshwar, which is what she was doing.

In a highest quality guild building.

Violet had somehow managed to successfully sneak in her smartphone from her mother's possession.

BANG, BANG, BANG

Loud banging on her room's door fell on her ear, and tears began to stream down her face, which was in a pitiful state. Since it didn't seem like she was going to get a chance to make a proper call, she sent a message for help to Eshwar's contact number and quickly threw her phone at the corner of her room, where it broke into two due to the force with which she flung it.

Hoping that she wouldn't get beaten again, she walked towards the door and opened it before it was broken down. She saw a guild member glaring at her from outside; she was in the group that "joined" her parents' intercourse that day.

PATT

She slapped Violet as soon as she opened the door, scoffed at her, and walked away as if nothing happened. Violet glared at the back of the woman walking off in the distance, and when she was out of sight, she rushed into her room, grabbed the broken phone, rushed back, and flung it in the direction the woman just walked off.

'With this, nobody would doubt me, and I have a perfect excuse as to how that phone got there.' Violet thought after locking the door behind her back.

*

The SS-rank players that had appeared to help sensed the ominous energy from sector seven, but since they were informed of Seo Hana going there to deal with it, they weren't too worried about it and returned to their guilds and homes. But the Romero couple returned to their daughter's home to check up on her and her friends, for whom she had asked for a book of light sword art.

It wasn't that strong of a sword art, and the only use was lessening the weight of the sword, but that wasn't what they were worried about; what they were really worried about was what if their daughter met a scammer, and after listening to a fake pitiful story, she fell for it and was getting scammed by someone who she thought of as a friend.

Of course, they knew that this "friend" Katline mentioned was a woman, and there wasn't really anything to be worried about, but they just couldn't help but think about it as they felt like their daughter was hiding something. Yes, these were the thoughts running through their minds while a literal massacre had just taken place.

*

BOOM

Back at Sector Seven.

Seo Hana was lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, while Tuwile stood glaring down at her, his sword pointing at her neck. He didn't seem to be injured by a lot, as all his wounds had already healed, but he was seen huffing and gasping for air while Seo Hana had a ton of sword cuts on her body, which were also seen to be healing as they weren't too deep.

"Huff....huff....huff...." Tuwile grinned in triumph while huffing, and suddenly, out of nowhere, he took out a strange glass flask filled with some kind of strange-looking liquid, drank it, and stopped huffing and gasping for air. With the intake of some kind of healing potion, Tuwile was back to the state he was in at the beginning.

'Hah, of course, a demon who can use some kind of summoning magic.' Seo Hana thought because she felt some mana disturbance when he summoned the potion, and he did it again to toss the flask back in, but instead of going back in, it dropped to the ground and shattered.

"...."

"...." Seo Hana knew that it really wasn't the time to be laughing, but she couldn't help it as she stared at Tuwile, who embarrassed himself while trying to act cool. She needed sheer will power to hold in her laughter.

"Give up, human." Tuwile ignored whatever happened just a second ago and said with a serious look on his.

".... really?" Seo Hana couldn't believe that he got over something so embarrassing so easily. But at that instance, the faces of the humans from before flashed in her mind and all the other thoughts she was having, halted completely, and despaired.
