Before Gin could even say anything, Kuroka attacked him.

Swoosh!

"Whoa!!" Gin shifted his body, barely dodging her attack. She was too fast. Faster than any of the devils that he had fought before.

"Who are you? Who sent you here?!" Kuroka said angrily.

"Who sent me?" Gin felt pain in his cheeks. He raised his hand and touched his cheeks. He saw that there was blood.

This...

Kuroka was far stronger than any of the opponents that he had fought before. It's making his blood boil. He wanted to test his current strength against her.

"I'm asking you a question!" Kuroka attacked once again.

Swoosh!

Gin tried his best to avoid the attack. At then that he noticed that Kuroka was injured. He recalled that she was a criminal. She killed her master and became one of the most-wanted criminals in the Underworld.

From the looks of it, it seems that she just arrive in this town. Someone must have chased her and injured her to the point that she could collapse anytime. Then, she hid in this town and noticed him looking around as if trying to find someone. From her point of view, Gin was just a weak human. Even if he possessed power, he wasn't her match. So she approached him to know who was the one sending people to capture her.

Normally, devils wouldn't carelessly move in the human world. This wasn't their territory after all. One wrong move and they would indirectly clash with other factions.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"I'm not your enemy," Gin said while avoiding most of her attacks.

"That's what everyone said to me!" Kuroka said as her attack became fiercer than before.

Bang! Bang!

"So strong..." Gin felt his hands going numb when he blocked her punches. His Evil Capital Devil Body was already at the third level yet a single punch from her could make him tremble.

"Ah!" Kuroka shouted as she threw another punch. Her fist landed on Gin's wrist and a loud cracking noise echoed.

Gin gritted his teeth as he felt his bones shatter. He stared at Kuroka and decided to use his full power. A black membrane covered his body and it boosted his overall stats.

"What?!" Kuroka was shocked seeing this scene.

Gin stepped forward as he clenched his fist. Then, he threw a powerful punch at Kuroka. He wasn't going to hold back anymore even if his opponent was injured.

Bang!

His fist collided with Kuroka's fist. The collision produced a gust of wind.

Kuroka was pushed away. She was stunned. She couldn't understand what sort of skills this guy was using.

"Argh!" Gin groaned in pain. Despite using his full power, he could barely match his opponent. At least, he shortened the gap a little bit and her injuries were making it worse for her.

'I can't win in a direct clash...'

Gin took a deep breath and used Destructive Breath. A purple smoke gushed out of his mouth and it spread out in the surrounding area.

"I already said that I'm not your enemy." He said.

Kuroka stared at the purple smoke. She noticed that it has a power of corrosion. She could easily defend against this level of attack if she was at her peak.

"You! You're still saying that..." She pointed at him.

"Hey, you're being unreasonable here. I don't even know you. Plus, you are the first one that attacked me." Gin said with a sigh. He felt that he had to explain everything to this girl. If he was stronger than her, he would have knocked her out already.

Kuroka paused as she observe the guy in front of her. He was a human but his strength was a little bit above average. Nothing extraordinary with him.

No, she had to finish this as soon as possible. She was quite tired now. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead as her breathing became heavy. She could also feel that her eyelids were getting heavier each second.

'No, I can't fall here...' She said to herself.

While she was distracted, Gin approached her. He grabbed her shoulders and kneed her on the stomach.

Bang!

Ugh! Kuroka spat a mouthful of blood as she fiercely glared at him.

"Sorry, in advance... Well, you broke a few of my bones so we're even now." Gin said as he wrapped his arm around her neck. He tightened it around her until she lost consciousness.

Kuroka's body finally collapsed. She fell and Gin caught her defenseless body.

He glanced at her before he walked away. For now, he had a little bit of an idea about the current timeline. Kuroka was alone and it seems that she hadn't met Vali and the other members of Team Vali yet. It means that she just recently murdered her master.

So this means that it's getting close...
