Chapter 174 – Melting Pot
"Peek-a-boo." Sherly answered with a smile, waving her hand. "Oh, and by the way, my name is not 'bitch'. It's Sherly. And you better remember it. Or else, I will cut off your dick and feed it to my friend here. I heard that she ate a horse's dick, so she will definitely love yours. As yours is small and easy to eat. Haha~ Loser~"
Torso was furious, and his Qi was blazing. Sticky Qi was gathering around him, and his skin turned as black as charcoal, his aura turning fierce and deadly.
Sherly just smirked, not bothered by his transformation. She had expected this since hearing about him and his ability. And because she heard about it, she didn't want to underestimate him.
"You want to play with fire? Huh, bitch? I can play with you if you really want."
"Hahaha, nope." Sherly shook her head and giggled, her body glowing with white light. "But I'd like to play with light."
With a flash, she disappeared, leaving the man in shock.
"Wha-?!"
Suddenly, Torso felt his back being stabbed, and he could feel the tip of a dagger digging into his spine. He couldn't even scream as he counterattacked with a large swing, but his opponent had moved away, leaving him exposed and open.
"Fuck!"
"Hey, hey. You can't kill me that easily, bastard." Sherly played with the dagger as she sat on the spectator seat, grinning ear to ear. "Your opponent is not me. It's her."
"What?"
Torso turned around and found a large axe in front of his face. He had forgotten the barbarian girl and had let his guard down. And now, he couldn't move fast enough to avoid the attack.
The axe slammed into his skull, cracking and breaking it, and sending him flying. His body crashed into the wall, and the sound was loud.
"Hah... hahahaha." Lee Hae-In stood up, laughing as she gripped her axe.
She was not smiling.
Her face was expressionless, and her eyes were empty.
Like a crazed murderer, her mind was blank, and her body was filled with rage. All she could think was to kill the enemy that massacred her clan.
Earth rose and covered Torso's body, making him unable to move.
"Die, fucking bastard. Die! Die! DIE!"
Lee Hae-In's eyes flashed as she used her Qi to control the Earth and rock around her. The rock exploded and flew, digging into the man's body and crushing him.
Blood gushed out of the wounds and his mouth, and his body was being pierced and crushed. Although the earth was enhanced by her Qi, it still couldn't truly pierce his body.
And, the man didn't seem to care.
No, not caring seemed to be wrong.
In fact, he was angry. So angry that his body began to glow red, and his muscles grew. He was bigger than before, and he grabbed a long railing pole from the wall, bending it and using it as a bow.
His Qi was so strong that the metal was melting, and the wood was turning to ash. He had changed his target.
"Bitch! You will pay for this! I will kill you! Both of you at once!"
Sticky Qi covered the metal bow, dripping from one tip to another. It stayed in place and became something like a string, completing the bow.
The man aimed the bow at the two women and pulled the sticky string.
"Die! Purifying Arrow."
A black arrow flew from the bow, its tip blazing with fire and heat. It was a dangerous attack, and it could even destroy the entire underground arena. The Qi emanating from the arrow was powerful and deadly, and it was heading straight toward the two women.
But Sherly just laughed and grinned, her body glowing with white light.
"Not yet, asshole."
Extending her hand, she gathered Qi in her hand. A ball of light was formed, and she threw it at the arrow.
"Light Ball."
A simple name for a simple technique, but the result was different.
The light ball collided with the arrow and exploded, releasing a burst of energy that was strong enough to push the two women backward and even throw Torso's body.
Lee Hae-In swung her axe, destroying the ground, and used it to stop her body from moving too far.
The light and energy released from the explosion spread everywhere, and it was so bright that it filled the entire underground arena, blinding everyone.
And then, when the light disappeared, Lee Hae-In and Sherly were standing again, their bodies surrounded with a transparent light the former created to protect them from the blast.
Even so, they couldn't stand still. A flash of light appeared beside Lee Hae-In. After a moment, Sherly appeared in that exact spot, looking at the place where Torso was sent flying to.
If the Supreme Evil's follower executive was as strong as what her Leader had said, this wouldn't be enough to kill him.
So she didn't let her guard down.
Just as expected...
Swoosh!
An arrow came out of nowhere, passing Sherly's body right at her heart, and the woman collapsed. Blood gushed from her mouth and her chest, and her body was shaking. Other arrows continued to rain down at her body. Her body looked like a porcupine with inverted quills, and blood was spilling from her mouth and nose.
"That should kill her. I can no longer feel her lifeforce."
From the dust, a hoarse voice spoke, and a figure emerged bigger than before. Torso's appearance had changed so much that he was no longer recognizable. His mouth was torn and his face was melted, and his entire body was covered in scars and burns.
Somehow, his left hand fused with the bow, and the string was made of Qi, sticking to his fingers and creating a sticky web.
"In the end, a barbarian is still a barbarian. I expected you to have some kind of reaction, but you're heartless. You're a bitch, just like your companion."
He was mocking her, but Lee Hae-In wasn't bothered. In fact, her expression was calm, and her Qi was gathering in her body.
For someone whose friend was killed and her family slaughtered, she couldn't care less about him or his words.
All she wanted to do was to kill him and avenge her people.
"You talk a lot, fucker."
Lee Hae-In stepped forward, her axe in her hand and her expression fierce.
"I'm going to enjoy this."
As someone who was famous for her wild and unpredictable style, the Crazy Bitch had always been a challenge and a danger to anyone who fought her. Also...
"It seems you underestimated this persistent girl too much." Her lips curled upward, a smile forming on her face. "You're dead, fucker."
... She had a hidden trick up her sleeve.
Instantly, everything looked melted. The underground arena, the ceiling, the spectator area, even Lee Hae-In and Sherly's bodies. Nothing was solid anymore, and the air was hot, almost boiling.
"Wha-?"
Before Torso could react, his body was liquified and melted, becoming part of the air. His Qi and his power couldn't save him no matter how hard he tried. The sensation of his body being ripped apart and disintegrated was overwhelming, and his mind was going crazy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"What the fuck happened?!"
Non-existent senses of direction and orientation were lost, and the man couldn't even breathe. He was dying, and his body was disappearing, his soul floating away.
But suddenly, a voice echoed in his ears.
"How does it feel?"
This voice belonged to none other than Sherly, who should've died.
Torso tried to scream and attack her, but his body no longer existed. He was just a soul, and the woman was standing right in front of him, her face covered with a smile and her eyes full of coldness. Her body still had the arrows embedded in it, but her expression was not one of pain.
"What the fuck? Where are we? Who the hell are you?!"
"I told you, didn't I? That we are Hallowed Insect and have the ability to take care of your feet, hands, head, and now even you, Torso. Well, I don't know about the others. But, we have already taken care of everything else for now. Also..."
Sherly clapped her hands and her figure returned to normal. The arrows and wounds were nowhere to be seen, and she was smiling as usual.
"You shouldn't have underestimated me. I might look weak, but I'm a genius. Let me tell you my ability. It's called-"
Before she could finish, Torso moved slightly. It stopped her from speaking further, realizing that the man used his Qi to increase his regeneration and healing. He regained his arm and tried to grab her.
"You fucking bitch." He growled and attacked her, his hands reaching out to grab her throat and crush her.
But it was futile, as he couldn't reach her. The only thing he could do was scream. "You will pay for this. No one can mess with us and expect to live."
"Wow..." Sherly was genuinely impressed. "Leader made it sound so easy so I thought this would be enough. But... Amazing. This guy is really strong."
She was not exaggerating.
Torso had regenerated his entire body, and he was ready to fight. Even in this strange space Sherly made with her element and strange technique she created herself, he was able to counter it with brute force and his own power.
"You're too dangerous." She had decided, and she knew what to do. "Hae-In, kill her."
Without warning, a massive axe appeared from the shadow.
