Chapter 1219
She wove through the dozen frenzied, zombie-like Augments with effortless grace.
One of the monsters lunged directly at her face, jaws snapping.
She didn’t even blink. Sidestepping the attack, her fingers flicked outward, producing several long silver needles that caught the dim garage lighting with a lethal gleam.
With a sharp twist of her wrist.
Thud!
The massive Augment crashed face-first into the concrete and lay perfectly still.
Then came the second, the third, the fourth p>
The Dragon-Thorn operatives couldn’t even process the visual information.
All they heard was a rapid succession of heavy thuds echoing through the garage.
Wherever Serena stepped, the monsters fell.
The very same bulletproof, pain-immune nightmares that had nearly butchered Elyndor’s finest were collapsing to the floor like discarded ragdolls.
The men of Dragon-Thorn froze, forgetting how to breathe.
Their eyes bulged as they stared at the field of paralyzed bodies.
Then they looked at the girl in the black hoodie standing amidst the wreckage. She wasn’t even breathing heavily, her posture just as relaxed and indifferent as when she had walked in.
They were completely stunned.
How was this possible p>
The monsters they had nearly died trying to scratch were systematically dismantled by this slender girl in a matter of seconds?
It felt like a fever dream.
By the far wall, Commander Kaelen was completely paralyzed.
The arrogant, sadistic smirk was still half-frozen on his face, but his eyes were wide with primal terror.
His invincible squad of Augments p>
Wiped out?
All color drained from his face as the horrifying reality set in. This girl wasn’t a civilian who took a wrong turn. She was an apex predator.
She was an absolute nightmare.
Without a second thought, he spun on his heel and sprinted for the exit.
Serena let out a dark scoff. “Running p>
The moment Kaelen took his first step, Serena materialized behind him like a shadow.
Panic seized his chest, and he violently twisted around to throw a desperate punch.
He didn’t even stand a chance.
Serena lashed out with a brutal kick, her boot connecting flawlessly with the back of his knee, forcing him to violently crash to the floor.
Before he could scramble away, her hand clamped down on his shoulder, pinning him in place.
Crack!
The sickening sound of a bone snapping echoed loudly in the silent garage.
Followed immediately by two more sickening crunches.
“Arghhh p>
Kaelen’s agonizing scream tore through the underground space.
His joints were completely shattered.
He collapsed onto the concrete like a boneless heap of flesh, his face twisting in
unbearable agony as cold sweat poured down his forehead.
The men of the Dragon-Thorn squad winced in unison.
Ruthless.
Absolutely ruthless.
But God, it felt satisfying to watch.
Pale and shaking, Kaelen’s eyes flashed with a final, desperate resolve. He opened his mouth, preparing to bite down on the hidden cyanide capsule tucked in his molar.
Serena anticipated the move. With a swift pinch of her fingers, she forcefully dislocates his jaw.
Denied even the mercy of death, Kaelen’s eyes rolled wildly as a pathetic, garbled whimper escaped his throat.
Then.
She grabbed him by the collar, dragging the weeping, broken man across the floor like a sack of trash before tossing him casually at Drake’s boots.
Thud.
He landed right in front of the Elyndorian squad.
As the operatives stared at the girl standing casually over the carnage, the exact same thought fired
one of thei
through every single on minds-
Badass.
She was so damn badass.
It wasn’t just the fact that she was gorgeous.
It was the aura.
The kind of absolute, overwhelming dominance that proved she was leagues above anything they had ever encountered.
A terrifying, magnetic presence that could easily rival the captain they worshipped.
