Someone suddenly appeared, entering the private domain and effortlessly deflecting Gremory's attack meant for Broken. But who was this mysterious figure?
"See? Hahaha," Gremory's laughter echoed through the chamber. "Now another cockroach has revealed itself... How delightful. Two extraordinary catches in one day, right?"
Broken's eyes narrowed as he focused on the cloaked figure wielding the twin daggers, shadow energy swirling around them. It was unmistakable—this had to be the same person Marlene and the others had fought a few days ago. The one they had called the Blade Phantom.
But now, for the first time, he could see more clearly—it was actually a woman, judging by her figure and the way her outfit clung to her. Even though her face was covered and no gamer name hovered above her head, there was no mistaking her presence.
