In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"Sulphone!"

Maria's body drove the sharp blade, and her speed was increased to the limit at this moment!

Faintly, the sharp blade cut through the air, emitting white ripples!

That was a sign of breaking the speed of sound!

"Pfft-"

The giant beast had no time to resist this blow.

But again, it only had a simple scratch on it.

Although Maria's attack was terrible, it was not enough.

This was not enough for her to kill the opponent.

Thinking of this, Maria turned around, held the sword, and looked at the other party calmly.

This is a giant beast that is three meters tall... and looks a bit like a dog.

But unlike ordinary dogs, it has three heads on its neck but only one tail.

The body has a strange streamlined shape and is completely black... like an aggregate of some shadows.

At this moment, the eyes of the head on the far right were open, while the eyes of the other two heads were closed.

"A three-headed dog...?"

Maria frowned as she looked at this creature that should have existed only in mythology.

She raised her sword again, ready to attack.

But at this moment, the three-headed dog suddenly closed its rightmost eye.

At the same time, the eyes of the left head also opened.

"Ugh——!"

A long roar erupted instantly!

The terrifying sound waves attacked Maria like countless fine needles!

This unavoidable attack forced Maria to take a few steps back.

But even faster, its call attracted all the surrounding beasts.

In the darkness, countless eyes began to open one after another.

Their bodies were equally pitch black, pressed against each other as if fused into one.

A pair of eyes opened, like countless heads, staring coldly at Maria.

"A hundred-headed dog... this is consistent with the legend."

Pursing her lips, after the roar ended, Maria took a deep breath and readjusted her posture.

She stared at the giant beast in front of her, but there was no fear in her eyes.

"Open your eyes... Close your eyes... Mist appears... A beast appears... Is this your ability?"

Although it was just a few simple exchanges, Maria roughly understood the opponent's abilities.

Apparently, the three heads of this behemoth have three different abilities.

When the rightmost head opens its eyes, it can affect the forest... that is, summoning fog and determining Maria's location.

Maria even suspected that it could affect changes in the forest.

The investment on the far left allows you to control other beasts and even force them to mutate.

As for the head in the middle...

Maria squared herself up.

The desire to attack urged her to launch another attack.

But the beasts around would not sit idly by and watch Maria complete her actions.

They roared and rushed towards Maria one after another!

“Sulfone——!”

Maria had no choice but to turn around and continue to counterattack the hunters.

But unfortunately, the beasts here are different from those Maria has encountered before.

Those are just incomplete forms that have not yet been transformed.

And all those here are mad dogs with three heads!

Physical strength is greatly improved!

Before, Maria could easily cut off the bodies of these monsters with one sword.

But when facing these beasts, her knife would always pause when cutting through the spine.

And it is this moment of pause.

It made it impossible for her to fully defend herself.

More and more hounds surrounded her, and from time to time they would pounce on her, scratching and biting her.

In just a few moments, many wounds appeared on Maria's body.

One of them even pounced directly on Maria's back and bit off a piece of flesh from her shoulder!

"Tsk..."

Frowning, Maria killed it instantly, then turned around, took out a bright red bottle, and stabbed it into her thigh!

As the liquid in the blood bottle quickly poured in, the missing flesh and blood was restored in the blink of an eye.

"You are not as lovable as that little dog."

Taking a deep breath, Maria coldly stared at the hounds around her that were eyeing her covetously. Her desire to fight not only did not decrease, but became even more intense.

In the hunting process, injuries are inevitable.

But...how can I get back into shape without getting injured?

Adjust your breathing and get your posture right.

Maria's breath is slowly changing, and the memory hidden deep in her muscles is guiding her to make the best response posture!

"I've never been very good at dealing with multiple targets at the same time..."

"But...if it's just a one-shot kill..."

Maria said.

At this time, the surrounding hounds also pounced on Maria frantically.

In an instant, the light of the sharp blade mixed with blood began to outline in the air.

Brutal posture, precise slashing, and defense without any flaws!

At this time, Maria has reached the peak of her condition!

The ferocious blade ruthlessly executed every beast that tried to approach it.

Every second, Maria would tear the bodies of seven or eight hounds apart!

Her horrifying appearance made it hard to tell whether she was a normal person or not.

How could anyone maintain such a cold-blooded killing habit?!

But...Maria did it.

Her gesture obviously surprised the giant beast.

For a moment, it began to doubt whether it was a rational choice to become an enemy of the other party.

It simply sensed that one of its kind had invaded its territory, so it launched an attack.

Originally thought that the other party had left... but she came back later... Thinking that she was provoked, it naturally could not watch the other party act recklessly in its territory.

So it began to attack Maria.

But now, it regrets it.

The humans before me... my fellow human beings before me...

It’s definitely not as simple as it seems!

That brutal posture...it's like a machine born for killing!

Gulu...

Swallowing silently, the three-headed dog began to feel afraid.

It has already given up.

But unfortunately... during those few minutes of terror, Maria had already slaughtered all the hounds around!

Although she inevitably suffered some injuries.

But with the help of the blood collection bottle, the wound healed in the blink of an eye.

Maria lowered her head silently, gently pushed her tricorn hat, and walked towards the three-headed dog step by step.

In his eyes, a scarlet light flickered...

Chapter 17: Time of Farewell

Yanan left Maria with many bad memories.

In a world of endless reincarnation, he has been deceived and hunted beasts that should have been humans... and Outer Gods.

But... it was also because of those disastrous experiences that she possessed combat abilities that ordinary people could never imagine.

Fighting and hunting...

There is no one in this world who is more committed to this path than she is.

Even though she hated herself so much, she was indeed an extremely top hunter.

Whether it is a human or an outer god.

Once she sets her sights on you, there's no escape...

And this...

The three-headed dog has an extremely profound experience...

"..."

"..."

After slaughtering all the remaining beasts, Maria approached the giant beast in front of her step by step.

She stared at the other person indifferently, and in her scarlet eyes, there was nothing else except the desire to hunt!

"I already know the abilities of your two heads... which means you only have one last chance."

Maria stared at the giant beast in front of her and walked step by step.

The behemoth has three heads in total.

The one that controlled the beast lost its function because all the targets it controlled were slaughtered by Maria.

The one that controls the forest cannot directly cause harm to Maria.

But... there is still one, and Maria still doesn't know its ability.

A surprise attack might instead cause her to lose the advantages she has accumulated.

So Maria did not attack rashly, but chose to approach the opponent step by step.

And on this side of the behemoth.

It's retreating...

"Woo..."

It had never encountered life like this.
