"Who are you?"
"I'm an assassin, silly," she replied with an amused cheeky smile forming beneath her dark mask.
"Then you should know what happens when an assassin fails to kill on their first strike, right?"
Neo slowly stood up from the bed. As he rose, the suffocating pressure of his Type 5 Ascender aura spread naturally throughout the room, causing the very air to vibrate.
The Arcane Assassin, known as Vesper, wasn't intimidated in the slightest.
"I know." She pulled back her glowing dagger with absolute calm. "But there isn't a single person born who can catch me!"
Her body was already beginning to dissolve into violet mist.
Even though she sounded incredibly arrogant, Neo could sense the terrifying spatial fluctuations rippling around her body.
She was not bluffing.
