The black-haired woman watched on as the golden-eyed human closed in on her holding his blade intending to take her life. His abundant killing intent has gotten to her head slowing down her thinking process to the point where she just gave up retaliating after all she did not have much experience in fighting.
*Boom *
A gigantic hand broke through the ceiling revealing a hideous skull like face covered in black smoke. The arm made Luo back away as it directly caught the woman pulling her into the air.
“Wake up!”
A thunderous voice resounded waking the woman out of her reverie. She was still trembling. Only after looking up and seeing the black skull did she realize what had happened and sighed in relief.
“What are you doing you wench? After calling me all the way here just to see you like this”
*Sigh *
“You sure took your time coming here. I almost died!”
Before entering the cave, the black-haired lady had just destroyed the eye into black smoke then she walked to the cave door and stopped seemingly hesitating about something.
“It’s better to be careful."
“Let’s just request back up in the case that I couldn’t handle it”
After saying this, she began drawing random lines in thin air using her energy. Soon the shape had become clearer and a square shaped black rune with a spider logo at its center took shape.
“Main Farm, First Branch, requesting back-up due to an unexpected intruder”
She put her hand on the rune and the words she spoke took shape as they flew towards the rune filling in it. When she had finished talking, she crushed the rune making it vanish into thin air.
Back to the present, Luo increased the distance between them as he thought
‘Damn, at least second order, things have gotten annoying’
Luo looked at the aura surrounding the giant who had just entered the scene. It was bright red, meaning the opponent was stronger than him.
‘Should I make a run for it? I’ve already achieved my goal.'
The black-haired lady stood straight on the giant's palm and stared at him as he considered his next move.
“You are certainly surprising for a thief, but it ends here. Don't even think about running away”
Her arrogant speech contrasted quickly with the trembling self she had just now, being faced with Luo's blade and giving up on life.
Luo looked at the lady hiding in the giant’s palm like a clown. He just shook his head at her as he whipped his energy claws and ripped space apart, disappearing.
“What the F , where the hell did he go?”
Saying that, a chill ran through her back as she turned around to find herself in a very similar situation.
*Swish*
A blade cut through the air, straight towards her face. Just when it had almost reached her hair Luo suddenly backed off into a space tear.
*Clasp *
In response to the attack, the giant clutched his fist tightly over the lady.
Luo reappeared on the ground holding his blade with green blood trickling.
‘Not very deep, huh?'
This time he managed to reach the lady and cut her, although he knew the cut wasn’t lethal enough to take her life.
‘Let’s get out of here!’
After shutting that lady's arrogant mouth, Luo decided not to take further risks and escape.
‘That is the way’
* Boom*
The giant no longer held back as he attempted to crush the entire cave with his leg. Dust and debris filled the cave as the mountain shook threatening to fall.
The mountain was around 1000 feet tall so the giant who was almost 490 feet tall (150 meters) could easily damage it.
*Swoosh *
From the debris Luo rushed out to the sky right by the giant’s leg. He used flying rock pieces as footholds to leap onto the giant’s thigh.
*Stab *
He plunged his sword into its skin, hardly penetrating it as he athletically lifted his body up on the sword body. Looking upward, he noticed the giant's eyes locked on him. He could feel the tingling and spicy taste of his killing intent in his mouth.

The giant wasn’t playing around as he directly tried to squash Luo like a bug using his hand.
“Hmph”
Luo looked at the incoming hand with a smirk as he leaped upward with explosive speed reaching the giant’s waist in an instant.
[Explosive step]
*Oooouuu *
The giant howled with a pained voice as Luo manifested his energy claws in both hands and slit everything on his way up leaving behind a trail of black blood.
Luo didn’t stop as he kept climbing towards the chest slashing his way up. The giant turned frantic annoyed at how this puny human is hurting him.
“Mere food dares!!!”
As he shouted to the sky, the blood in his body burned into black flames as it spread throughout his entire body.
Luo who seemed to have been expecting this move jumped back into the air as he entered a spatial tear he made.
‘Phew, good job Eijaz’
[Be careful, although you can identify its weaknesses, it’s not an easy opponent]
[An adult fallen giant can manipulate Hell fire* through their blood so be sure not to get caught up in it]
Eijaz had informed him about the Hell Fire beforehand as he expected it.
Luo reappeared before the giant’s chest as he poured all his energy into one hand. He magnified the claw five times larger than its usual self. He plunged his hand with all his might right into the middle of the giant’s chest.
*Pierce*
The black hellish flames gave way to Luo's energy claw, with its unstoppable might it ripped a hole in the giant’s chest piercing deeper inside.
“Oooooooorrrr”
The giant’s roared to the sky as his flames intensified. He was starting to feel the danger of what he thought of as easy prey.
“Kgh!”
Luo groaned in pain as the flames intensified. His armor seemed to have reached its limits as parts of it had already evaporated exposing Luo’s skin.
The giant no longer held back, throwing the black-haired woman he was hiding in his palm to the ground and using both hands to slap Luo.
Luo's eyes glowed at the sight of the thrown woman, as he smirked before disappearing and dodging the clap.
*CLAP*
The giant looked around trying to spot Luo as he vanished before he could take him down. That is when he saw him appear beside the thrown woman who was still in midair unconscious.
“Veronica!!”
The giant shouted in a deep voice trying to alert the unconscious Veronica who had a deep gash starting from her right shoulder down in a straight line to her waist. Her arm was barely hanging on to her body. However, she had lost consciousness due to the immense pain as at the end of the day she didn’t have much fighting experience.
“In your next life don’t run your mouth as much, that is, if you wanna live a long life”
*Behead *
[You have slain a Peak First Order, Demon Contractee +800 SP]
Luo ruthlessly beheaded the unconscious woman as blood oozed from her neck like a fountain.
*Boom*
Luo immediately disappeared from his spot, avoiding the enranged giant's flaming punch.
*Shatter *
Half the rocky mountain got blasted apart by the giant’s punch as debris and dust filled the surroundings playing in Luo’s favor, as he easily sneaked out of the fight scene constantly teleporting. Now that he had gotten used to it, he could do it almost instantly.
The giant was mad and furious as it threw punches and kicks at what remained of the rocky mountain thinking that Luo was still there.
Luo didn’t even look back as he made his way towards the home from where he came from. Along the way dozens of Baby giants searched around, but Luo didn’t stop to fight them as he smoothly slipped under their radar by killing some of them in a different direction from his destination.
[You have slain … A baby Giant +400 SP]
[You... a baby Gaint +350 SP]
Soon Luo managed to reach the room where he arrived, he then touched the gourd bottom as it shone with a stary blue light that soon condensed into a gate, without any hesitation he walked inside.
Inside the gourd, during the time when Luo was still on the run the people who were placed inside were experiencing something very interesting.
*Vroom *
“Huh! Where am I?”
Saya woke up to the sound of an engine as she found herself standing in a street full of people and all sorts of vehicles.
“Young miss? What are you waiting for? You're going to be late”
A man's voice entered Saya’s ears as she turned to look in his direction.
‘Who is this man?’
Just as Saya asked, something weird happened
“Nothing, I was just daydreaming. Let’s go!”
Saya was unable to speak what she wanted, or to be more precise, she couldn't control her body.
‘W-what is happening!? My body I can’t control it’
Saya was horrified as her body kept moving following behind the man. They soon reached a beautifully manicured garden, walking through it till a clearing the size of a helicopter pad appeared before them.
“This way Young miss”
The butler-like man walked ahead and stopped before a high-tech car, then opened the door and signaled for it to start.
The lady nodded but as soon as she sat in, darkness filled Saya's vision. This caused her to panic even more but that didn’t last long as a loud scream resounded before a horrifying scene appeared before her.
“Aaaaah”
“Young miss please run!”
The incident occurred in that same garden and the only thing different about it is the state of it and the gigantic monster ripping apart and swallowing each human they got their hands on. It was total chaos. The girl whom Saya shared sight with looked at the monster who had caught her butler as she trembled nonstop.
‘These!’
For Saya these were familiar creatures, the ones who had just attacked them were the same kind, they had the same habits of slowly torturing and watching their prey despair and cry in pain. Anger was taking over Saya but no matter what she tried, she only remained a watcher.
The girl looked on as this monster ripped her butler’s head with his fingers. His screams echoing inside her head as she unconsciously stood up and ran as fast as she could.
Darkness once again took over but this time no matter how long Saya waited no scenes played as she fell unconscious.
Back inside the blue starry garden, Luo walked out through a gate, where Sarah welcomed him.
“How did it go?”
Upon seeing him, she asked. Luo didn’t mind and threw her the gourd.
*Throws* *Catch*
“What!? I thought I only asked you to rescue her alone."
“Take it as a gift, just make sure you keep your end”
Sarah looked at Luo a bit surprised, but she didn’t pay the matter much heed and directly walked away while saying.
“Don’t worry, I will send you there soon"
“Okay, but where are you going?"
Luo asked as he followed her.
“To finish what we started”
Sarah opened another gate as they both walked through it, arriving at what looked like a command room in the underground base.
“Initiate the “Fallen” process”
Streams of Data ran through Sarah’s eyes as she commanded to which a monotonous sound responded.
“Initiation The “Fallen”, Checking the state of the Weapons... CLEAR, locking on the targets...DONE”
“Preparing to launch.... Ready. Please instruct the Nuclear Launch”
Luo was surprised when he heard the last part as he tried to question Sarah. However, she straight up ignored him.
“Hey what are you doing?”
“Start the launch"
