"Haha! Jack was right!" Charles said. "There are so many strong guys to entertain me! Let's go!"
As the Queen Deathbringer pulled herself out of a pile of rubble, her arms trembled.
Damn, are my arms...still there? That punch was brutal... She thought as she inspected her arms. I can't believe he broke out of my threads. No one has ever done that before.
Charles noticed Shadowgun preparing to shoot him in his peripheral vision, so he quickly rushed at him. Shadowgun responded by moving away as he knew the dangers of fighting Charles in close combat.
Tch, this bastard is moving well, even though he's severely injured--
While Shadowgun was thinking, he noticed a semi-truck hurdling towards him, much to his surprise. Charles had wasted no time and grabbed the first thing he saw to chuck when Shadowgun ran - which was the truck.
The truck slammed into the super soldier and blasted Shadowgun away. They crashed into a building, causing the semi-truck to explode. Meanwhile, Claw quickly charged at Charles and attempted to pressure him.
"Haha! You guys have excellent synergy!" Charles said as he threw out several jabs at Claw. Due to the damage he sustained in his right eye, Charles kept only one eye open, which Claw took advantage of.
Claw was purposely staying on Charles's right side, which made it easier for the super soldier to weave his attacks and even land strikes of his own.
He's taking advantage of my reduced field of vision! Not a bad strategy! Charles thought while having a big smile on his face.
"Wipe that damn smile off your--"
Interrupting Claw, Charles suddenly grabbed him with both arms.
Shit--
BAM!
Charles performed a powerful headbutt right on Claw's face. The sounds of bone being crushed were audible as the super soldier's nose sprayed blood. The headbutt also knocked Claw hundreds of meters away.
Charles had no time to rest as the Queen Deathbringer came rushing in...not that he minded. With a face of pure focus, she delivered a powerful haymaker on Charles's jaw.
Blood sprayed from his mouth as Charles was knocked away. Charles immediately recovered and got back on his feet. As the Queen chased him down, Charles grabbed a parked school bus in preparation to toss it. His grip on it was so strong that his fingers pierced the metal shell of the bus.
Charles tossed it, but the vehicle failed to hit its intended target. The Queen Deathbringer had summoned more threads from her skin to shield herself from the bus.
In the eyes of regular individuals, the bus would seemingly be sliced to pieces as it approached the super soldier, but Charles had noticed what she did.
Much to her annoyance, Charles continued tossing more vehicles. The poor vehicles met the same fate as the bus - sliced apart from the Queen Deathbringer's thin threads.
"Would you quit throwing people's property!?" The Queen Deathbringer demanded. "Can't you see it's not working--"
Charles knew it wouldn't have worked, and he used the vehicles as feints, which the super soldier failed to realize. While the severed vehicle parts littered the area, Charles immediately rushed up to the Queen Deathbringer.
"Gotcha!" Charles said as he delivered a strike to her stomach before following up with a right hook to the Queen Deathbringer's jaw. This, of course, knocked her a good distance away.
"Cough, Ugh, Too strong," The Queen Deathbringer muttered as she coughed up blood in her hand. I may be strong, but not as strong as the blessed slaughterer or zombie. I'm this damaged from a couple of this monster's hits. I can't afford to take much more.

As Charles darted at her, he suddenly found himself bleeding heavily. The Queen Deathbringer had caught him with threads once again.
"Ugh, it's over now! I've placed far more threads than the last time!" She stated. "You won't be getting out of this--"
Without letting her finish, Charles began struggling again. Unlike the super soldier, Charles had a big smile due to his enjoyment of the battle.
"Damn it! Can't you get it through your thick skull!?" She questioned with irritation in her voice. "You'll die if you keep going!"
"HAHA! THAT'S WHAT MAKES A FIGHT AWESOME!" Charles responded. "IT'S NOT FUN IF THERE'S A RISK OF DEATH IN BATTLE!"
Claw and Shadowgun, who recovered from Charles's attacks, quickly closed in.
SSPLUURRT!!
Charles successfully broke through the threads but paid a big cost - his right arm was torn clean off, and his stomach was ripped open from the threads. His body also sustained major gashes.
W-What the!? Is this guy even human--
The Queen Deathbringer was so dumbfounded that Charles delivered a powerful haymaker to her jaw, and she didn't even react.
"Guh!" She uttered as she was tossed away. Upon witnessing this, the Deathbringer's eyes widened in shock.
"Damn! Just die already!" Shadowgun yelled as he fired a volley of bullets.
"You're such a pain in the ass!" Claw stated as she approached him. While Shadowgun's bullets pierced Charles's skin, Claw rushed in and delivered several strikes to his jaw.
While it made him stagger, the punches barely damaged Charles.
"Alright, this was fun, but I can't use this stacking technique for too long!" Charles said as he caught Claw's arm. "It's time to end this!"
CRAAACK!
As he applied force, Charles immediately bent Claw's arm. Due to his arm hyperextending, cracking sounds were audible.
"UGH!" Claw uttered as his arm finally broke. With an excited grin, Charles tossed Claw through multiple buildings and charged straight at Shadowgun.
Why is he...still so fast? Shadowgun, who had no time to react, thought as he noticed Charles before him.
Without hesitation, Charles headbutted the super soldier into the ground, creating a destructive bang upon impact.
"Ugh," Shadowgun, who was bleeding heavily from his head, uttered in a dazed and concussed expression.
Charles then sat on the super soldier's chest and began pounding Shadowgun's face with his one good arm. Each strike was comparable to loud explosions and created heavy wind pressure. Shadowgun's body twitched with every strike, and blood that splattered from his head covered the ground.
It's unfortunate, but you're the weakest. Charles pondered. You can never do much without your friends helping you.
"STOP IT!" Although visibly injured, the Queen Deathbringer yelled. Desperate to help her subordinate, the Queen Deathbringer executed a powerful spin kick to Charles's jaw, knocking him off Shadowgun.
Haha, yeah, she's pretty fun. Charles thought as he soared through the air after being kicked. I wonder if she could bring an even better fight in the future.
Despite being significantly injured, the Queen Deathbringer pursued Charles and engaged him in close combat. That was a poor decision, as the one-armed Charles won against the injured Queen Deathbringer with a powerful gut punch.
"UGH!!!" The Queen Deathbringer uttered while violently blasting through buildings. Blood excessively flowed from her mouth as she held her stomach.
Damn it, I'm supposed to be a blessed hunter. I'm the United States' best government-sanctioned assassin. I received a web shooter modification in my arm to utilize these deadly bladed threads. The Queen Deathbringer pondered as she struggled to stand up. With my physical prowess as a super soldier and these threads, no criminal could defeat me. I had killed the most criminals of the super soldiers. But why can't I kill an injured man, even with my subordinates?
"Well, I've had fun, but it looks like you guys can't fight anymore," Charles said as he walked away. "I'll be taking my leave now. Hopefully, you'll give me a better fight next time!"
"Ugh, Where the hell do you think...you're going!?" The Queen Deathbringer said as she finally stood on her feet. "This...isn't over..."
"Huh, I think it is. You won't do as good with one less teammate," Charles responded.
"Huh--"
"Dammit! Shadowgun!" Claw's desperate cries were audible, garnering the Queen Deathbringer's attention. As she shifted her gaze, she noticed Claw holding Shadowgun's body with his good arm.
Although the Queen Deathbringer had kicked Charles off her subordinate, it was too late. Charles's punches had turned Shadowgun's face into a bloody mess.
"Hmm, maybe I can find out what that big explosion was about," Charles decided as he gazed into the distance. Maybe I should get the doctor to heal me, though.
Without hesitation, Charles quickly ran off and left the super soldiers in their sorry state.
"Hey! Where are you going!? Bastard!" Claw yelled in anger. "Dammit! Why do you gotta do this to my ally!"
The Queen Deathbringer gazed at her subordinates with a blank expression.
That's...my second subordinate. The Queen Deathbringer thought. Charles now killed...two of my subordinates...
