045. Chippin in
Buzz——
Alexia slightly turned her head, and the door behind her instantly closed, sealed by an invisible spiritual force.
The other party's attitude was clear: once you come in, don't think about leaving.
Coincidentally, she was thinking the same.
The trembling killing intent assaulted from all directions. Alexia slightly lowered her head, and the chilling fear penetrated through her skin, muscles, and bones, firmly locking onto her consciousness and soul.
"They're here."
Alexia held her breath, and a cold light of insight flashed in her dark golden eyes.
Reflected in her pupils was the first grand duke's guard who rushed at her—a Beta-tier 【Warrior】. Alexia didn't like these awkward terms, but she had to admit that this system of classification was very practical.
Clang!
A blade crackling with electric arcs was drawn. The Beta-tier 【Warrior】 broke the sound barrier and slashed down at her with a single stroke!
Clang!
Alexia raised her hand, and the metal instantly melted and transformed, turning into a gauntlet covered in spikes. She easily blocked the slashing arc blade with the back of her hand. The blazing blade couldn't penetrate this miraculous man-made metal defense. The swordsman's pupils contracted, his face filled with horror:
"How is this——"
Alexia flipped her wrist, and the swordsman's hand was instantly dislocated. His thumb bent awkwardly backward, dripping blood. He hurriedly tried to retreat, but Alexia casually flicked her hand, and the dark golden claws immediately snapped his spine. His body hit the wall like a slab of meat.
Swish——
Alexia followed up by raising her hand, and the metal transformed again, unfolding into a shield in front of her, blocking an incoming rocket-propelled grenade.
Boom——Bang!
The fierce shockwave shattered the pillars on both sides. However, the explosion of the rocket alone wasn't enough to create such a grand spectacle. Just as the shockwave roared, the heat energy compressed in the confined space exploded out, and the visible crimson flames mixed with black smoke bloomed like flowers. The white marble tiles even showed faint signs of melting under the intense heat.
The Beta-tier 【Ranger】 hiding behind a pillar gasped for breath:
"Did it work? That shot drained all my energy——"
——Thud!
The shield tore through the smoke, revealing Alexia unscathed, her collar pristine, not a speck of dust on her. Her dark golden eyes scanned the room, taking in all the hidden enemies.
"Damn! Is she made of tungsten steel?"
The terrifying result almost made the 【Ranger】 faint. He pulled down his protective goggles and quickly threw a series of thermite flashbang grenades. Nine consecutive high-intensity flashes accompanied by sonic booms and scorching sparks exploded, creating a wall of fire that blocked the path ahead.
"Don't let her get any closer! This woman is too dangerous!" His companion, wearing an electric knuckle duster, hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, she won't get through this," the 【Ranger】 said confidently. "This is thermite; it can reach three thousand degrees. How could she possibly withstand that?"
