Location : Deadland City, Inside the Huge Destroyed Football Stadium
The surroundings were covered with a lot of noise. It was as if everywhere was filled with the sounds of destruction and collapse. Every piece of metal or iron made either a falling or shattering sound. But the loudest sounds came from a dwarf running with his mech, meaning the mech he was riding, and also from two people fighting hand-to-hand. However, one of them was dodging the punches of the woman throwing punches and countering her, as if there was something extremely deadly in the woman's hands. While running with the mech, the attacking person suddenly pulled back and threw a massive iron punch as big as the woman's body. As he threw it, the sound of metal or iron clashing could be heard from the mech's arms. The woman loaded energy into her hand and struck forward to stop the mech's punch. When the two collided, an energy clash began. The surroundings slightly trembled from their energy collision, and energy waves spread around. But before a winner of the clash could be determined, the one who had attacked the woman earlier moved behind her and threw a punch from behind and said:
Jack : Cosmic Combat Style, Distorted Impact.
While the woman was in the middle of the energy clash, without being able to look behind, she shouted angrily:
Hana : Bastard!
A very powerful punch struck Hana from behind. Her body shook violently as if it were burning. Hana's spine was completely shattered, and the moment she weakened, Bob began pushing harder with his mech's punch. The winner of the energy clash became Bob because Hana's energy output weakened after taking damage from behind, especially since it was from her spine. Her body began to collapse downward, and as she collapsed, her punch also went downward. That was why Bob won the energy clash. The energy-loaded punch from the mech completely crushed Hana's punch and moved toward her face. Normally, Hana would have taken that hit and been blown backward, but with her free hand, she grabbed her own head. Her head separated from her body so fast that you wouldn't even notice it you would think it was an illusion. The hand holding Hana's head threw it into empty space. Just as her entire body was about to be hit, her headless body became like playdough, and before her head hit the ground, her headless body reconnected with her head. She immediately transformed her hand into a gigantic hammer. But the hammer she created was literally made of human flesh it was human. She swung it directly at Bob's mech. Before Bob could even react inside the mech, the flesh-made hammer slammed into it. While inside the mech, Bob was sent flying all the way to the spectator seats. He crashed down with such force that it sounded as if two trucks had fallen onto the same spot, and a massive cloud of smoke formed. Bob had slight bleeding on his head, and since he was dazed, it would take some time for him to recover. At that moment, before Jack could even worry about Bob, Hana had already turned her massive hammer-like hand back to normal, charged it with energy, and was ready to strike Jack. She said angrily:
Hana : Die already so my job becomes easier!
Jack smirked nervously:
Jack : You'll see that in your dreams, you fake witch.
Jack jumped at the last moment to dodge the incoming attack. While in the air, he spun three hundred sixty degrees and delivered a powerful kick to Hana's face. After taking the hit, Hana only slid slightly, as if she had taken no damage. The moment Jack landed on his feet, he started running. While running, he picked up a rod-like piece of iron from a broken barrier on the ground. Holding the rod with both hands, he kept running. Meanwhile, multiple arms began emerging from Hana's back around eight of them and they all moved toward Jack. As soon as Jack saw the incoming arms, he dodged them and continued running toward Hana. But the arms he avoided split into two and came toward him from behind. The moment Jack noticed this, he planted the iron rod into the ground and used it like a pole to launch himself, successfully escaping between all the arms. He even jumped together with the rod. Hana, like a puppet, was ready to attack with all her strength. She produced exactly twenty-four arms from her back and infused all of them with her deadly technique, her Super Technique. It could guarantee deadly damage; anyone touched by it would either suffer massive damage or their soul would be completely damaged. She infused all twenty-four arms with that lethality. Even if they weren't as strong as the original Super Technique, they were still deadly. All those arms rapidly moved toward Jack, who was still in the air. Jack was dodging all incoming attacks with the help of the rod. It was as if a ball kept bouncing endlessly between the left and right walls, returning to its previous position each time but slightly further ahead, Jack was moving toward Hana in the same way. Without the rod, getting close to Hana would have been impossible. Hana's legs slightly slid, but when she pressed harder into the ground, a cracking sound came from beneath her feet, and the ground beneath her completely cracked from the force she applied. As Jack got closer and closer to Hana, he thought:
Jack (In his mind) : I'm getting closer and closer. If I hit her head with all my strength using the rod, and then keep striking her rapidly, she won't be able to heal, and I'll win.
Jack had decided what to do. But Hana wasn't thinking about anything, she was so focused on killing that even her inner voice or instincts would remain silent until she killed Jack. At that moment, Jack finally managed to get right next to Hana. Hana immediately protected the area where her heart was, but Jack instantly aimed for her head and struck. Hana's head was crushed as if it were making space for the rod. The hit was that strong. The moment Jack struck, he pulled the rod back up and swung it toward her jaw. Hana's jaw became distorted. Jack pulled back again and began striking her rapidly all over her body. He was hitting so fast that it looked like two or three rods were striking Hana at the same time. Hana was completely covered in blood, but strangely, she looked completely unconcerned. At that moment, Jack shuddered, as if there was danger nearby. He slightly moved aside to dodge, though he continued attacking. But the danger wasn't behind him… it was beneath him.
Jack (In his mind) : Damn it!
Hana's jaw immediately fixed itself, and she smiled in a disgusting, bloody way.
Hana : Checkmate!
A spike made of human flesh pierced through Jack, barely missing his heart. Hana controlled that thing and threw Jack slightly forward, slamming him hard into the ground. The spike came out of Jack's body. The veins on Jack's face began swelling as if they were about to burst. He hit the ground so hard that it sounded like a car had crashed, leaving massive cracks in the ground. A heavy impact sound echoed, and the area where Jack landed was covered with a cloud of smoke. The moment Hana's injuries healed instantly, four massive arms emerged from her back. All of them struck toward the smoke cloud at once, like clapping hands together, and the impact was so strong that the sound pushed the smoke away. After the smoke cleared, Jack was revealed trembling, critically wounded, his face and body covered with swollen veins. Hana slowly began walking toward Jack. There was a disgusting, insane smile on her face, as if she was saying "I've won."
Hana : For a moment, you thought you would win, didn't you? Before you attacked me, I set a trap on the ground. I predicted you would attack like that, and it worked.
As if the job here was done, Hana clapped her hands together as if dusting them off.
Hana : Now that I get rid of you, the next one will be that fake cowboy. I'll bring back that bastard's old trauma and torture him to death. But before that, I'll kill you first. I've already enjoyed myself enough inside my barrier. Anyway, goodbye.
Hana raised one hand and pointed it at Jack. Jack watched without reacting. He couldn't do anything, couldn't think, he could only watch. It was as if everything had reached its end. But suddenly, the surroundings began to fill with a terrifying atmosphere. A dark, blood-red aura began to spread from Jack's body. Then a mouth formed on Jack's cheek and spoke:
- - - : You're supposed to be my vessel, brat.
Hana immediately jumped back in fear, but her entire body looked as if it had been cut-into exactly five pieces. In reality, those parts weren't cut, they were completely erased. At that moment, Hana instantly regenerated and said tensely:
Hana : Liberty! You were supposed to be on our side!
Liberty had taken over Jack's body. Since they had made a contract, Jack became unresponsive, and Liberty replaced him. The moment Liberty took control, a tattoo appeared above Jack's eyebrows as if it were a crown. All of Jack's injuries healed, and all his swollen veins returned to normal. Liberty stood up from the ground as if nothing had happened and smirked at Hana. While looking at her, Liberty's eyes looked like glowing red diamonds. He cracked his hands while staring at her.
Liberty : Now, while I'm in this brat's mind, I'll use the low-energy attacks I've newly created. Let's see how durable you really are.
