Nero, the Legendary Hunter

"Take this!" Jingu seemed to slide on the ground as she moved. An explosive sound came out and wind moved beneath her feet; her sword rose and she attacked from top to bottom.

*Bang!*

The gangster who was attacked blocked the sword just above his head, defending himself, however, the impact and the edge of the samurai sword was very sharp, along with the technique and power of Jingu, and with a few sparks the gangster sword was cut.

"Ahhhhhh!"

The samurai sword was deflected slightly as the man defended himself, but ended up slicing through two of the man's fingers at their tips, severing them clean through, and continued down towards the man's shoulder and cut into the left arm of the gangster, who screamed in pain and terror.

Choko clenched her fists and in the next moment a red halo appeared surrounding both of her gauntlets. Step by step she advanced, and in the blink of an eye, only the shadow of her fist was seen as she bombarded two of the gangsters simultaneously.

*Flaming Impact!*

After each fist, a violent explosion took place, resulting in constant tremors. After the two gangsters were hit many times, the mana surrounding them was broken, and they had to use their own bodies to withstand the rest of Choko's fist storm.

Choko's fists were not only violent but very fierce and cruel. Every blow that hit the two gangsters crunched flesh and bone. The sounds of bones and sinew being crushed were horrifying, and the two gangsters screamed in pain and begged for forgiveness very loudly, so much so that the leader was afraid they would draw attention from unwanted people and wanted to kill these two numbskulls himself that both screamed like little girls.

Seconds later, due to extreme pain, the two gangsters fell to the ground. For a moment they convulsed, but they eventually stopped moving. It was not known whether they were alive or dead. But one thing was clear: before that, they had suffered a lot of pain.

The gangsters now feared Choko's fists and her huge pair of gauntlets. The worst was the indifferent look she gave toward what she did. It was hard for them to imagine that this was done by a girl who was 17 to 18 years old at most.

'These two are very strong, gozaru!' Jingu understood more and more why these two girls didn't run away. It wasn't because they wanted to be brave, but because they had the power to support their choices.

Before three of the gangsters could surround and attack Luna, she acted fast and jumped on Big Blue's back. Then she leaped from above with a mighty howl, and she swooped down towards the gangsters.

*[Critical Hit!]*

In Nero's retina, a message appeared. She was surprised, as it was the first time this had happened when it was Luna who attacked. Her first critical damage maybe? Mm, Nero didn't have time to think about that right now.

*Beng!*

A sword clattered against the sword Nero held with a very hard clang. Sparks flashed, and it almost made her close her eyes. Of course, Nero would not give such an opening to be attacked.

Faced with this situation, Nero was still calm. Her eyes were like a phoenix, intense and sharp. A pure murderous intent emerged from within Nero's body, manifesting and frightening those who felt it. The gangster leader was frightened and became extremely cautious. He knew that right now he couldn't relax; the strength this girl showed was much greater than he had imagined or expected.

One step, two steps, Nero walked and soon she was in front of him again, and this time, she was even stronger. As she attacked, the halo that surrounded her sword was so intense and so powerful, that just the simple fact of her sword being thrust in his direction made him feel lost, with no confidence of him being able to defend or dodge.

*Boom!*

Using all his strength, the gang leader managed to defend himself, but was forced to take several steps back. The pain in his hands was still throbbing, making his hand shake, as he could feel this was just the beginning. He noticed Nero's eyes staring at him through slits, extremely beautiful, yet at the same time dangerous. The man took a few steps back involuntarily.

"Girl, I admit I underestimated you. You are stronger than I imagined, but from now on I will take this seriously!" The gangster leader exclaimed. Unlike before, there was no more lust in his eyes. He looked as if he saw in Nero a worthy opponent.

Not that those words made Nero happy or anything. To her, he was a crook, something like a cancer on society - nothing more, nothing less. But that didn't make her underestimate her opponent. Nero realized that despite how voracious he was, this man had the power to support it. Even in the few exchanges of blows she had with him, she already realized that he was strong.

Nero snorted in response and grew even more serious than before. A powerful looking halo appeared around Nero's sharp sword as she controlled her breathing, her eyes as sharp as her blade. Once again, she was the first to attack the gang leader with her sword. She attacked diagonally, bringing with her the power of light going against the gang leader.

The gang leader was inferior in terms of speed, but his reflexes were good enough to defend himself. The two of them kept trading blows as Nero attacked. The man defended himself with sweat running down his head, and he started to question his own power when he saw he was losing against a little girl who didn't look older than 16.

*Bang!*

Stabbing with her sword, Nero seemed to be trying to change her approach by trying to use fencing martial arts: piercing once, twice, 3 times... She continued thrusting non-stop until she finally managed to pierce the gangster leader's shoulder with her sword and blood began to flow as she pulled the sword back. Frightened, the gangster leader was forced to take several steps back.
