Chapter 375

[Shout out to Ricky F and NLArcher!]

Lucky 375

'Why do I feel like this has happened before? '

Last time, Athena ambushed him right after he woke up.

And now another intruder was attacking him.

"Who are you?"

The two stared at each other.

"Are you perhaps that person from the Council of Torment? What was his name again? That's right, Puti. Are you Puti?"

Puti of the Council of Torment was a well-known criminal. He had stolen many artifacts and had a bounty of billions on his head.

"..."

The intruder didn't speak. Instead, he changed his stance and raised his fists while his knee prepared for a kick.

"Muay Thai?" Calix thought.

The intruder seemed to be an expert. Calix could feel his strength from his stance alone.

'It doesn't matter.' He grinned and pointed his gun (with silencer) at the intruder.

"Let's see what's faster. Your feet or my bullet?"

"..."

Calix didn't think twice and pulled the trigger. The sound was weak, almost silent, but the bullet was deadly.

Each bullet flew and pierced the intruder. But the intruder did not stop.

"Huh?"

Calix was stunned when he realized something incredible. His strong eyesight saw the bullets pass through the intruder's body.

"What the hell?"

Calix muttered as the intruder approached. The intruder kicked him with a quick leg and Calix dodged it successfully.

He countered with his left fist, but the same thing happened again.

Just before his fist touched the intruder, his hand went through his body.

'Shit!'

He realized that this person had a powerful Term Attribute.

"Looks like you are going to be a pain in the ass." He muttered and swung again, and the intruder used his ability again.

Calix understood that it would be dangerous to get closer, so he took a step back. Unfortunately, the intruder was faster than him and had already raised his leg to kick him.

The intruder was sure he would hit Calix.

"Oops!"

For some unknown reason, Calix dodged the kick.

"!!!"

The intruder was stunned.

They were dodging each other's attacks! What was this, a kung fu action scene? Where the opponents would attack and dodge?

"..."

"Looks like you feel the same way."

The two put some distance between them and stared at each other. They realized that this was going to be a tough fight.

One exchange.

They would need one successful attack to win. This attack would determine the victor.

Again, the intruder stance like a Muay Thai warrior.

As for Calix, he adopted a boxing stance and began to bounce his feet.

A second passed.

-- Whoosh!

Their bodies moved quickly!

The intruder kicked him while Calix used a hook punch.

But one thing was different from Calix, his fist turned blue. He activated his 2nd Term attribute. He decided to 'reverse' the situation.

The intruder became incorporeal and thought that the fist would pass through. He thought he had won the battle, but he miscalculated.

-- Baam!

The blow struck his face, knocking him to the ground.

"Ack--!"

The intruder groaned as his body dropped to the ground.

"Phew. You are quite problematic. Unfortunately, you met someone like me." Calix chuckled.

With his power, he could reserve the state of an object of a living thing. Because of this, the intruder became solid and could be touched.

The intruder was still hurt. More than that, he was shocked that Calix had successfully hit him. His power didn't work on him! Calix was too strong!

"Now let's see who you are."

He grabbed his mask and pulled it off.

He was stunned when he realized who it was.

"What? Why are you here?"

He wasn't expecting it.

"Shoujo Ramune."

"Tch, you got me."

The intruder was indeed a woman. And it was Shoujo Ramune, the great actress who won the Hoescar statue!

"What are you doing? What is your intention?"

Calix became serious. He would never lower his guard against an enemy. Not with someone as dangerous as Shoujo.

'I didn't know that Shoujo is a TA user. Her Term Attribute is too terrifying. I have never met anyone like her.'

She could turn incorporeal and dodge any physical attack. If not for his 2nd Term Attribute, he might have already lost.

Calix wiped his sweat and breathed heavily. Using his 2nd Term attribute consumed a lot of his energy.

"I just want to clear things up. I don't care if you're an actress, I'll beat you up if I have to." He was serious.

'Besides, you're an asshole, so I don't feel bad about beating you up.'

Shoujo Ramune could be part of the 'Karen Movement' with her attitude.

"You won. I thought I could overpower you and interrogate you about your intentions for Lou."

Half of her face was swollen as she spoke. The punch had definitely hurt her.

"Are you doing this for Lou?"

"Isn't it obvious? I need to know what kind of person you are."

Calix was confused.

"By being an intruder and attacking me with a taser?"

"That's right. Don't forget, you also tried to kill me with your gun."

"Bitch, you trespassed and tried to hurt me, I have every right to fight back."

"Yeah right~"

"This woman...'

Calix lost his temper and pulled her hair.

Unexpectedly, Shoujo didn't yelp or frown. Her expression was calm, as if she was used to this treatment.

But Calix was not affected. His priorities were straight.

This woman was a stranger and an enemy who endangered him.

"..."

"What do you want from me?"

He asked, his eyes glowing dangerously.

"I will answer all your questions as soon as I see your feet."

"What?"

He almost cracked.

"What did you say?"

"I said show me your feet."

"You're not the one in control. I am."

"Then I will not answer your question. You can hit me all you want, but you'll get nothing from me."

"Tch."

Calix could see that she was not lying. Shoujo had a strong will and it was impossible to force her.

Finally, Calix took off his shoes and socks. He showed her his feet.

"Is this okay?"

The woman looked at his feet with all seriousness. As if she was studying every nook and cranny. Calix felt uncomfortable.

"As expected, Esmeralda has chosen the right person."

"Huh? What do you mean... Wait a minute." Calix realized something important.

"Are you perhaps the spy?"

"That's right, I'm a spy from Dellia."

"..."

What a shock.
