Chapter 1830 Rune's Strength. "Let's end it here, shall we?" Rune spoke casually with an expressionless look on her face as she sat on top of a 6-meter large Stoneborn, pointing her dagger at the giant gemstone protruding from the center of his giant, stony back. The Stoneborn didn't answer. He was currently lying on the ground, his eyes looking at the 'battlefield' There were dead vines all over the place, trying to capture or attack this cat. Some of these vines were also burned or crushed. However, none of the damage to these vines was done by the woman sitting on his back. The vines were crushed by his allies instead. As for the woman, she didn't have to attack these vines. For some reason, every time any Sylvanix tried to target her using their vines, it never worked. She always dodged their attacks with absolute precision. Her movements were so fast that none of them were able to see through them. It wasn't just the Sylvanix who failed to attack her. The Seraphytes and even Stoneborns, known for their strength, couldn't attack her. She was like a slippery eel that no one could catch, no matter what they did. Even if his team tried to use wide-range attacks, she would disappear and never get hurt. It was as if she could read their minds and knew exactly what they were going to do. From start to finish, the woman never even attacked. She just appeared next to her target, placed her dagger at their vital point, and forced them to admit defeat without hurting any of them. And no, it wasn't merciful. It was humiliating. For the nine strongest Sovereigns of Velcria, each being a member of the Elite Unit of their respective forces and having exceptional teamwork that covered each other's weak points, to lose to an opponent in such a humiliating manner... It made them tremble in shame. It felt like the opponent was on a light stroll. There was not even a single drop of sweat on her face. And what's worse? This woman defeated all nine of them, alone. Yes, it was just this small woman who defeated the strongest of Velcria. The rest of her 'team' didn't even move. Even now, they were all sitting on the chairs that they had taken out, looking at the scene in front of them with calm looks on their faces. It was as if they were already expecting such a result, and this didn't surprise them one bit. Seeing the looks on their faces enraged the Stoneborn even further. "No! I do not admit defeat!" The Stoneborn screamed in rage as he tried to use this chance, when the woman had dropped her guard, thinking she had won, to grab her and eliminate her from the battle. Yes, it was a cowardly method. However, the Stoneborn wanted to face the rest of the women. Even if one of them stood up, it would be enough. He wanted to see, he wanted to know what this monstrous bunch was made of. He, however, couldn't fulfill his wish, as his hand could only grasp air. The woman sitting on top of his back had already moved away. "There is no point to continue the battle." The Stoneborn heard the woman's voice again. "I SAID I DIDN'T LOSE!!" BOOM He screamed as he slammed his giant arms on the ground and stood up. The ground beneath him cracked, and dust moved in all directions, hindering people's vision. The Stoneborn stepped forward. He knew staying in an area with low vision against an agile opponent would put him at a disadvantage, but then... As he moved forward, his right knee suddenly collapsed as he was attacked from behind, forcing him to kneel. He moved his hand, trying to slam away the woman, but again, the woman had already moved away and attacked his other knee, making him lose his balance and fall to the ground again. Knowing what happened was going to repeat itself, the man stopped himself from falling, trying to fly away and gain distance, but... "This should be enough. You even got a second chance." He heard the woman's voice again. The Stoneborn realized that the woman was sitting cross-legged on top of him, her dagger pointing at his weakness again. The only difference was that this time, he was floating in the air instead of being on the ground. "YOU!!!" BOOOM He screamed as he rotated and crashed onto the ground, crushing the woman beneath his giant body. With his weight, not many could survive this attack. He had even used his ability to somewhat alter his body, making it difficult for the woman to escape in time. The speed at which all of this was done was so fast that barely a few beings in this world would be able to react to it. And even if they did, by the time they acted, they would already be crushed under his weight. However... As the dust cleared up and the Stoneborn came back to his senses, he could sense that there was no one underneath him. This attack... it was nothing more than him crashing onto the ground and rolling in the mud, by himself. Step Step Step The Stoneborn then heard footsteps approaching him. He could tell that the woman was doing this on purpose. It was her way of telling him that his attack didn't do anything... yet again. "How long ar-" "I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!" He screamed as he stood up and rushed towards Rune. The cat woman prepared to dodge, but then, BOOOOOOM A horrifying pressure descended, enveloping the Stoneborn's body and pushing him to the ground. The pressure wasn't even aimed at Rune, but for a fleeting moment, her knees wobbled. Even she, who had been untouchable in the battle, couldn't resist this force and was about to fall to her knees. However, before that could happen, her shadow trembled, and the pressure that seemed too strong to resist became ineffective on her, as if it was canceled out. Seeing that, a light smile appeared on Rune's indifferent face. She looked down. There, she saw her shadow making a thumbs-up and a heart sign. Then, it winked at her, making her chuckle out loud.
