Traveling through the game world, starting out as a third-rate villain

Chapter 61, Section 16.4 - Trip to Nexoriya City

"Ah... you finally showed up."

The moment the Demon Contractor appeared, Kaya's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems that the information we received was correct." He said, and what happened next was something Kaya never expected.

'Information? There is a mole.' She asked herself and came to a conclusion. But, this is not the most important thing now.

The man in front of her was strong. She could feel it. She didn't have time to think about what was going on here, or how he knew she was here.

She needs to deal with the man in front of her first.

"Why, a little surprised?" the Devil Contractor asked, looking at her with a mocking look. He exuded an air of incompetence, but he was not Kaya's only trouble.

There was a monster next to him tied by a rope, and other monsters had already begun to wreak havoc here. This was a planned attack, a joint attack from monsters and demon contractors.

"I have no words to answer heretics like you. You have sold your souls." She finally spoke, staring at the man. "People like you are a disgrace to our society." As she spoke, she touched the bracelet in her hand and took out her weapon. It was a spear, emitting a gloomy black aura.

The Devil Contracted let out a mocking laugh. "Oh, Kaya Hartley, you are so elegant in your words. I must admit, it is exciting to see you take action after all this time. After all, your reputation has spread far and wide. I really want to know where your values ​​will take you at the end of this road."

His smile widened further, revealing some teeth that seemed a little too sharp.

Kaya's hands clenched the weapon tightly, and an aura of focus and determination permeated. Her eyes met the eyes of the devil's contract, and her expression was firm and unyielding.

Then, as if the world had changed, the museum turned into an arena of conflict. The collision of will and power echoed in the air, and the line of battle was drawn between the hunters and the devil contractors.

The demon contracted seemed to be watching for some reason, but she knew. The longer it took, the more people would die. She could see that the museum's security had been taken care of, and this was obviously planned.

'I have to end this as soon as possible.' She concluded. 'Jane is still here.' She knew that she was the only one who could protect herself and Jane, so she had to act quickly.

Whoosh

She rushed at the man with her spear in hand, illuminated by red mana, exuding the aura of her determination and mana control.

Clang

The demon contractor met her attack with fluid, eerily graceful movements, wielding a sinister sword, its blade infused with black energy that seemed to devour the light around it.

He swung his sword skillfully, deflecting Kaya's spear attack, the sound of the impact echoing in the air.

clang

However, both she and the Devil Contractor could feel the difference in their power.

"Even after all this time, it looks like I'm still far behind you." The Demon Contractor muttered, but Kaya felt a sense of familiarity.

The man was someone she thought she knew, but because his face was obscured, she had no idea who he was. His voice was also muffled, as if he was having trouble breathing.

clang

Their clash was a song of magic and steel. Kaya's spear gleamed with mana, and each strike was calculated. Her movements were a testament to her training and skill.

In contrast, the Demon Contractor strikes with deadly intent in every strike. His sword cuts through the air, and each swing carries demonic energy with it, corrupting the air around him.

The black energy made it difficult to breathe, and Kaya had to control it.

'This heretic. He tries to suck the life force out of those around him.'

Kaya saw what he was up to and she knew she couldn't let him do whatever he wanted.

During the battle with the Demon Contractor, Kaya also kept an eye on the monsters around him.

The monsters' roars and growls served as an eerie background music to their duel, reminding her of the dual threat she faced.

'I have to take care of this monster first,' Kaya thought. She could see the signs that the monster was preparing to attack, she could tell from its muscles.

Even for her, fighting against the Devil Contractors and monsters at the same time would be difficult. This would expose the gap in strength between her and the Devil Contractors, which was not what she wanted.

In a burst of determination, Kaya spun around and hurled her spear in the direction of the creature. She intended to destroy it quickly, and she knew that distraction was risky.

'Hartley's first move - Whirlwind.'

Once she was in position, she immediately attacked the monster and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Whoosh

Her spear pierced the air, pointing directly at the monster's exposed flank.

Whoosh

However, the Devil Contractor did not just stand there and watch.

"Not under my nose!"

He took advantage of her distraction and swiftly struck back with his sword, the blade extending his will like a demon.

Kaya's instincts suddenly woke up, and a surge of magic amplified her reactions. She moved slightly, narrowly avoiding the blade of the demon contractor, her movements smooth and graceful. However, her dodge caused her initial attack on the monster to cause much less damage.

boom

The attack of the Devil's Contractor hit the ground, generating a shock wave that shook the surrounding environment and destroyed the protective mechanism set up by the museum.

Snap, snap, snap

As the shock wave spread, the protective glass surrounding the exhibits shattered one by one.

Kaya dodged the most fatal blow, but the aftershock still caused her to lose her balance for a moment.

She quickly regained her footing and refocused on the fight at hand. She wasn't the type to fall because of a collision.

Whoosh

She then launched another attack at the Devil Contractor, aiming directly at his abdomen.

Clang

"I knew you would do this." The demon contractor said with a mocking smile. There was a hint of familiarity in his voice, which made Kaya's back cold. But there was no time to think now. She had to focus on the battle.

roar

Before she could react, a low growl came from the side. Although the monster was injured, it was far from defeated and took advantage of her distraction.

Whoosh

The monster burst out with amazing speed for its huge size and pounced on Kaya, opening its huge mouth.

Clang

Kaya's instincts kicked in again, her reflexes honed to perfection, and she twisted in the air, slashing her spear upward to meet the monster's attack.

The collision between the two was extremely fierce. The monster's teeth were only inches away from her face, but she successfully blocked its attack.

"snort."

Kaya snorted with effort, and her eyes showed determination as she resisted the monster's attack. The monster's sour breath gushed out of its mouth, mixed with saliva and dark energy.

The ground cracked at her force, and the two sides were engaged in a battle of strength and will. Kaya's muscles tensed under the pressure, her expression was as still as a rock, and sweat dripped down her face.

Whoosh

In one final burst of power, Kaya channeled her magic into her spear, causing the weapon to glow again, and with great force, she thrust forward, successfully pushing the monster back.

'Now is the time!'

Bang

The monster stumbled back, its momentum broken. Kaya didn't waste a second, and in one smooth movement she charged forward again, her spear pointed directly at the monster's heart.

The monster roared with pain and anger, trying to dodge her attack. However, it knew it could not escape. Its body was broken by the effect of Kaya's magic, which was her special and precise attack method, transmitting the impact of the attack directly into the monster's body.

Whoosh

However, the Devil Contractor appeared in front of her again, as if laughing at her attack. It was as if he knew the trajectory of her actions.

But Kaya guessed it all.

'I knew it.'

As the Demon Contractor appeared before her, with a green aura, she saw the sword approaching her face.

The man's face said "Game Over", but Kaya's movements were swift and precise.

"Oh."

Whoosh

With a confident smile, she used her extraordinary physical strength to swiftly sidestep the attack of the Devil Contractor. The sword blade grazed her and failed to hit the target.

prick

With a perfect dodge, Kaya seized the opportunity.

"Well-!"

Her spear found its mark, piercing the man's side with a sickening sound. The man's scream turned into a howl of pain, and his body twisted in agony.

spray

Blood gushed out of the man's mouth.

As she drew her spear, Kaya saw faint traces of mana lingering in the wound.

That was left there to ensure the man's recovery was slowed down, a technique she developed after fighting many demon contractors.

She knew they usually regenerated quickly, so she used her skills to counter it.

She raised her spear again, ready to attack the man who was spurting blood.

roar!

However, when the monster saw that its commander was injured, it did not stop. The seal on its neck was activated, and it pounced on Kaya with a loud bang.

Whoosh

The monster's mouth was full of saliva, almost before her eyes.

prick

However, after the decisive moment when she defeated the Demon Contractor, this monster was nothing to her, like a dessert after a meal.

Kaya's reaction was swift and deadly. She swung her spear with practiced precision, aiming for the monster's weak spot. In a split second, the weapon found its mark, piercing through the creature's neck and emerging from its rear.

spray

Blood spurted from the wounds, and the monster's movements became weaker and weaker as time went on.

Bang

When Kaya retracted her spear, the monster finally fell to the ground, completely defeated.

Kaya's eyes flashed with seriousness and pride. She pulled the spear out of the monster's body, and the monster's black blood dyed the blade of the weapon red.

Her cold eyes swept across the battlefield, resting on the fallen demon contractors and monsters. The destruction all around her enveloped her, but she remained firm, unaffected by the chaos.

This scene was not unfamiliar to Kaya, it was the embodiment of everything she had experienced, the path she had walked so far, a path filled with countless monster blood and countless dungeons to explore.

From another perspective, it is a life full of destruction.

“Hahahahahahaha…”

Just then, a burst of laughter rang out.

The Devil Contractor was lying on the ground, his wounds still there but his wounds had not healed, but he had a crazy smile on his face.

"After all, you are a monster inside too," he said, staring at Kaya.

'What is this guy talking about? ' she thought to herself. She didn't understand what he was saying.

"You must be wondering what I'm talking about now? You think I'm talking nonsense."

His smile widened.

"In the heat of battle, you've forgotten who you were with. Even if it was your own daughter."

The words hit her like a blow to the heart, and Kaya's heart pounded. She turned around, fear tightening her chest, and saw a terrifying sight before her.

"No."

In front of her, another demon contractor was grabbing her daughter Jane, and the small body was struggling under his control. There was a cloth in her mouth, and she cried muffledly, and her eyes were full of fear.

"No. Jane!"

Her eyes filled with tears and fear filled her gaze. Kaya saw her daughter struggling in the man's grip.

"Uh-huh"

Her cries were blocked by the cloth and reached Kaya's ears. She felt as if the world was frozen.

It was a faint presence that she had ignored in the heat of the battle.

No, it wasn't that she ignored it.

Instead, she simply ignored it, thinking it couldn't hurt her at all. This was a subconscious reaction in the heat of battle.

That was due to her excitement.

An unbearable wave of guilt washed over her as she realized the danger her daughter was in.

"simple!"

Kaya's voice was choked with pain, her eyes filled with unshed tears. She reached out as if to touch her daughter, but the distance between them seemed so great.

"Now, say goodbye to your daughter, you hypocrite. Perhaps this way you can feel what I felt at that time. However, I'm not sure what else you can feel." The demon contractor taunted, his words like venom.

Desperation gripped Kaya's heart, and every fiber of her being screamed to save her daughter.

The man's dagger gradually approached Jane's neck, just a hair's breadth away from her life.

"No!"

Bang!

A gunshot broke the air, the sound echoing in the museum like thunder. In the blink of an eye, the man holding Jane was hit, the bullet piercing his head.

spray

Blood gushed out from the wound, staining Jane's petite body red.

Bang

The man fell to the ground, losing control and letting Jane go.
