The white-haired girl stood there motionless, her face pale, her eyes piercing like a block of ice, oblivious to everything around her.
Her demeanor was like that of an aloof immortal who disregards all.
The cold aura emanating from her made even the once-arrogant “Leek King” shiver involuntarily.
It was as if the innate pressure of a superior being toward an ant made it almost unable to breathe.
The monster couldn’t help but mutter inwardly.
The instinct of fear toward the unknown made its concentration reach an unprecedented level.
Its multiple compound eyes fiercely scanned the uninvited guest, trying to find the true face hidden beneath the surface.
‘Damn it… She’s full of openings, but why do I feel that if I charge in, I’ll be cut in half…’
It didn’t dare act rashly, only carefully observing the situation, circling while trying to see through her true intentions.
‘What is she planning? Why isn’t she moving? Is she looking for my weakness to kill me in one blow? What a cunning human.’
It cursed inwardly, but felt that dragging it out like this wasn’t a solution, so it decided to launch a verbal attack.
“Already scared stiff? Didn’t think another one would come to die.”
The girl didn’t react, only stared coldly at it.
Her lips moved slightly, as if gritting her teeth, and it was unclear what she intended.
The monster continued speaking.
“You humans are such pathetic creatures: greedy, ignorant, cruel. Your crimes against this planet are too numerous to list. You pathetic beings should just stay in the trash…”
At these words, the girl still showed no reaction.
She even lowered her gaze and closed her eyes slightly, as if annoyed by a noisy insect, unwilling to even look at what was in front of her.
The monster finally became completely enraged.
In battle, not constantly watching the opponent’s movements was a major taboo, and an outright provocation.
It meant that from start to finish, the other side had only regarded it as an ant.
“Arrogant!”
The Leek King suddenly burst out with an extremely powerful aura, and its surging magic energy swelled step by step.
“Daring to look down on me! Then, be utterly reduced to ashes before absolute power!”
The monster’s leaves suddenly spread open.
Its originally emerald body instantly withered.
Huge heat waves surged in its massive mouth, and red cracks spread over its entire body.
“Prepare to pay for your arrogance. Take my attack!!!”
Destructive energy burst forth and headed straight for Su Yu in the distance.
She was not panicked, made no defense, and didn’t even raise a hand.
She simply watched calmly as the energy poured toward her.
Bang!
The sky blossomed with a sky-covering blaze of fire.
Almost half the street was engulfed in that destructive energy.
“Finally… hahahaha!”
Faced with a scene like an Asura Hell, the Leek King was convinced that no living being could survive its life-risking attack, not even that intimidating woman.
At the thought that such a terrifying enemy had been reduced to ashes by its flames, even though it was now at the end of its strength, it let out extremely unrestrained laughter.
“Hehehehehehehe!!”
As long as it absorbed enough sunlight, it could quickly return to its peak and complete the mission nature had given it.
“Now there’s nothing to stop me! I am the Fated World Destroyer, the Terminator of All Things, unstoppable, unopposable. I am the Leek King!”
Just as it was indulging in madness and pride, an indifferent voice sounded at an inappropriate time.
“So noisy…”
The monster, who was preening with smugness, felt a chill at this sound.
Its several compound eyes scanned the surroundings in disbelief, and then it saw a white figure walking through the blazing sea of fire.
“When I wasn’t attacking, you were quite arrogant, huh… big leek leaf.”
The girl’s face was as calm as before, only a bit paler, but to the monster, this was like an omen of a demon coming to claim its life.
“Do you know what I hate most? Leeks…”
These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the Leek King’s mental defenses.
“Impossible… impossible…”
“How can you still be alive? How can you be alive!”
It twisted its hideous face.
Although its words still carried bravado, its body honestly began to tremble.
“That was my strongest attack! How can you be unharmed?! This must be illusion magic! Illusion magic!”
“Whether it’s illusion magic, you can experience it yourself.”
Su Yu indifferently raised her hand.
Although with her ability, she didn’t need to form a magic circle to release magic, for the sake of intimidation tactics, she directly formed a very obvious and intimidating magic circle.
“I admit your attack had some strength, but unfortunately…”
“If it were a bit hotter, maybe it would have burned my outer clothes, and then I’d have to buy new clothes.”
At that moment, the monster came to its senses.
Its attack just now hadn’t even burned the clothes on that woman.
Then, its sanity finally collapsed.
Its entire trunk began to crack and crumble from the bottom up.
“How is this possible!!!”
After its final roar, the world finally returned to peace.
The Leek King’s massive body turned into a pile of ashes as if burned out.
Su Yu looked around; no danger remained.
The little heart that had been hanging tight finally calmed down, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
‘It actually… really succeeded…’
Originally, she had only wanted to rely on her magic immunity and try a scare tactic since moving was difficult for her now.
But she hadn’t expected this monster’s mental fortitude to be even worse than the last one she encountered; it scared itself to death after just a few words.
This was too insane…
Even with the facts right in front of her, it still felt surreal, like a dream.
‘I won’t be the first person in history to scare a monster to death with my aura, will I?’
Su Yu didn’t find it bad, but… she had a faint feeling that her hero path was about to unfold in a strange way.
‘Forget it, forget it. Scaring a monster to death is also my skill… Any way to kill the enemy is a good skill.’
She sighed, patted her head, and stopped thinking about it.
Instead, she took the Hero Association communicator out of her pocket.
“I am an A-Class Hero… ‘Pure White Valkyrie.’ I have cleared the monster disaster. You can send someone to clean up.”
Saying that, she waited for no response.
Putting away the communicator, she ignored whether the ground was dirty and plopped down to sit.
The piercing pain from her broken bones surged up all at once.
She now deeply regretted coming down from the sky with a furious glare.
What the novels said were all lies.
The only result of a carbon-based life form jumping from a height was breaking its legs.
There was no cool factor whatsoever.
“It hurts so much…”
Once a person calms down, the pain becomes magnified infinitely.
Though the girl clenched her teeth, she still felt like she was about to cry.
Just as she was grimacing in pain, she suddenly felt a strange wind kicking up dust around her.
Before she could turn to look, a female voice full of odd amusement arrived first.
“Ahya, seems I’m too late.”
