Chapter 459 Paradise ? Part 2
'What are they doing ? ' he narrowed his eyes to make up what was happening.
There, among the flames, a group of towering red apes thrashed wildly, their burning fur flickering like living flames.
But who were they fighting? And why are they so angry ?
Suddenly, he caught sight of a silhouette in the middle of it all—a woman .
Her white and black kimono fluttered gracefully, the bottom part resembling a short flowing skirt that allowed for easy mobility. Beneath it, dark leggings hugged her legs.
Her eyes shone a sharp gray, and her braided hair, a captivating mix of dark and white. Everything about her appearance identified her as a hunter.
"GRRR" The growled.
The woman just looked around, still holding her katana without drawing it.
She didn't look worried at all. In fact, as he studied her eyes, he could tell she was preoccupied with something else, seemingly unaffected by the threats surrounding her.
Her presence here meant that Lilith's army had failed to stall for time, something he had already anticipated.
However, thinking it and witnessing it firsthand were two entirely different experiences.
'I knew it; she just sacrificed them for nothing,' he sighed, his heart aching for their deaths.
'I hope their bodies are still intact so I can absorb them. She should have just donated them to me.'
The truth was, he didn't give a shit about them at all; his main concern was the vitality he'd missed out on.
"RRRRG!!!"
The red apes roared in unison, their fierce cries echoing through the clearing as they tried to intimidate the hunter.
It didn't work at all; the hunter just ignored their shouting, treating them like they were nothing but a passing air.
Finally, one of the apes snapped.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It lunged at her, muscles rippling as it unleashed a powerful punch, determined to land a hit.
But just as its fist drew near, it was sliced into pieces without the hunter even moving or drawing her weapon.
THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
The sound of small chunks of flesh raining onto the ground echoed through the air, each thud a reminder of how huge the gap between her and the apes.
The gruesome splatter was intimidating and surreal, causing the remaining apes to glance at one another.
They hesitated, their earlier arrogance wavering as they considered the danger before them.

'That was a wind slash, but it was so fast. It's not any slower than lightning itself. Who is this girl?'
Judging from her ability, he concluded that she was likely a high-ranking Tier 1 hunter. The way she released an attack of that caliber just showed how much controlled she had over her element.
Aside from that, he also noticed an important detail : Her attack.
'So movement speed is limited, but attack could still work,' he pondered and decided to test this theory.
He punched the air, aiming for a speed of around 300 km/h. To his satisfaction, he didn't feel any restrictions this time.
So he punched again, ramping up his attack speed by another 100 kilometers per hour, then another, pushing it until he reached 500 km/hr.
He could push himself to go even faster, but that would create too much noise.
Staying silent was important, especially now that he wanted to keep a low profile and continue observing her.
The presence of this high-ranking hunter suggested that others might also be lurking nearby. The last thing he wished for was to be surrounded by them.
He was certain they would be hostile to anyone they didn't recognize in a place like this, ready to attack at any moment.
And who could blame them? This was uncharted territory, where anything could pose a danger.
'If she can take down one of them without even moving, I'd like to see what she could do if she actually decided to get serious,'
"RRRRRG!"
"RRRRRG!"
"RRRRRG!"
The remaining apes roared, changing their tactics.
They huddled together and unleashed streams of searing flames from their mouths, intent on burning her alive after realizing that physical attacks were far too risky.
However, just like before, as the flames neared her, they were suddenly pushed back by an invisible breeze.
The apes stumbled back, their confidence shaken as their own attack was turned against them.
"RRRRRG!" They began throwing a fit in annoyance, beating their chests with their own hands to assert their dominance.
"I'm tired of you animals and your filthy, noisy mouths." she said, shaking her head in annoyance as she locked gazes with them.
It seemed she was finally ready to get a little more serious.
"I'll end this quickly,"
CLICK!
She half-drew her sword, and in that instant, the atmosphere shifted dramatically. It was as if the air around her had stopped moving, bracing itself for something big.
"Ancient Roc Breathing Technique..." she declared, taking a deep breath and filling her lungs with air.
"Wind Tempest Zone" she uttered.
Before the apes could react, the wind turned hostile, exploding from all directions and slicing through everything within her range like a sharpened blade.
SLASH!
SLASH!
SLASH!
The same slicing sounds echoed as flesh after flesh was reduced to mincemeat by her attack, transforming the area into a gruesome execution zone.
It looked as though anything that dared to approach would be eradicated, leaving only destruction and death in its wake.
In less than five seconds, the battle was over.
Well, calling it a battle was a stretch; it was more like a one-sided massacre—something he was accustomed to doing rather than witnessing.
When the winds finally subsided, silence fell over the area
The ground was littered with the remnants of the once-proud red apes, and the flames that had burned the forest were extinguished by the sheer shockwaves of her attack.
She stood there, sword still half-drawn, looking as if what she had just done was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Hey, how long are you going to keep watching me?"
What do you think?
