The monster wave here was endless. E to A ranks were the front line—exhausted, breathing hard, bleeding from a hundred cuts, but still holding on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lance, a rank B blade specialist, was crouched behind a half-destroyed barricade, panting.

His swings sent shockwaves, but even he was beginning to crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They just keep coming!\" he grunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leapt, slashing through three more beasts, but his eyes darted up—something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky above twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gate opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not like the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one didn’t crack open like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It spread like ink.

Walls shattered. Bodies flew.

One step and it crushed a Rank A lightning user. Another step and a Rank S bow user was ripped in two. It melted a tank with a breath, and impaled a squad with its tail like skewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fall back!\" someone yelled. \"Retreat!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another slash—and half the ridge was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The SS hunter tried.

No warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a flaming black fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOOM!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire SSS-Rank monster flew sideways—sent crashing through three cliffs, smashing boulders like glass. The shockwave melted the surrounding area. The flames didn’t burn red. Or blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They burned black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And floating just above the cracked battlefield—was her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy Black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hair tied in a lazy knot, leather jacket shredded at the sleeves, both her fists glowing with dense black fire.

One strike—straight to its gut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black fire exploded from her knuckles. The monster howled. Its scales cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spun midair—elbowed its neck.

It wasn’t clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was violent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster snapped. Swiped. Roared. It swung a tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy caught it with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tail was the size of a truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She twisted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SNAP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then rushed it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, ugly,\" she said, mid-punch. \"Let me ask you something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What gives you the idea...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...that you’re allowed to show up...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...without saying sorry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She planted both her feet into its chest and launched it upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster was sent flying into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy’s eyes flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black flames poured down her arms, curling like dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She jumped—high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Higher than most humans should ever reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when she reached the apex—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She curled her fist back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A firestorm gathered around her knuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bad dog.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRASHHHHHH!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She punched it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a meteor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire sector shook.
