Poison Needles vs Paper Fan
After taking down the drone, Mariana lowered her stance.
Her eyes glared sharply at Nagini.
Her heart burned with hatred and vengeance.
Mariana: "Today, your story ends, Nagini!"
Nagini only gave a thin smile.
Mariana, consumed by rage, growled low.
Her torn paper fan gleamed like steel.
The air around them turned scorching hot.
Mariana had unleashed the peak of her inner power — blazing heat energy.
She was ready to finish Nagini.
Mariana: "I've opened the gates of hell for you, Nagini!"
Nagini no longer held back.
She too released her full inner energy.
Cold air spread around them, chilling to the bone.
In her right hand, two Level-Three Needles — the deadliest kind — were tucked between her fingers.
The tips shimmered with a faint blue light, like blades of frozen steel.
Nagini prepared to throw.
Nagini: "I've already closed the gates of hell. But I've also opened the gates of prison — for all your crimes."
They stared at each other.
Silence fell.
Then—
Mariana snapped her torn paper fan forward.
Whoosh!
Tweeet!
A blast of scorching wind roared ahead, accompanied by a high-pitched whistle.
In front, Nagini had already released her needles.
Swish!
A surge of icy wind followed the needles' flight.
A roaring gust swept through the trees like a small hurricane.
Boom!
Two massive energies collided.
Sparks exploded in midair.
The ground shook violently.
Mariana was thrown two meters back, landing hard on the ground.
Her face turned pale; a trickle of blood ran down her lip.
Her paper fan shattered into pieces.
Not much different—
Nagini was also thrown back two meters.
She fell sitting, face pale, blood at the corner of her mouth.
The needles that struck Mariana's fan disintegrated into dust.
Both were wounded inside.
Neither won.
Only the clash of heat and cold remained, swirling fiercely in the air

Mariana Panics
After the energy clash with Nagini, and feeling the wound inside, Mariana's fury slowly turned into panic.
The helicopter was destroyed.
Her men were handcuffed.
Her business and assets were seized by the government.
And she couldn't even defeat Nagini.
Mariana: "Damn it!"
Frustration, anger, and despair made her act recklessly.
She shouted in rage.
Mariana: "I'll destroy everyone who dares to disturb my house!"
With the last of her strength, she struck at Nagini from a distance.
A gust of scorching wind surged toward her.
Whooosh!
Nagini, ever alert, didn't stay still.
She countered with her own attack.
A streak of icy wind blasted forward.
Whooosh!
The two forces — heat and cold — collided once again in midair.
Boooom!
Sparks burst between them.
Nagini staggered back two steps.
Pain shot through her chest. Her hands went numb and stiff.
Though wounded inside, she remained ready to face Mariana.
But then — something unexpected.
Mariana was gone.
Nagini looked ahead.
Empty.
Only a dark shadow flickered forward.
Nagini: "Mariana's heading to the front post!"
She shouted loudly.
Yes — Mariana was running toward the front post.
Unable to defeat Nagini, she intended to wipe out every member of Densus 88.
Nagini called out in alarm — anxious and worried.
She knew how dangerous it would be if the joint team of Densus 88 and KPK was attacked.
Especially with Tina at the front.
Nagini: "Burhan! Tina!"
Without hesitation, Nagini dashed forward, chasing Mariana toward the front post.
Her hand clenched four deadly needles.
Their tips glowed faint blue.
