"... What a peculiar visitor."
A woman's voice echoed from one of the passages. A few monts later, she ca out from the shadow of the passage.
It was a woman with rich, long, flowing black hair almost reaching her toes. Her dark-colored irises seed sharp and cold, but mysteriously, it wasn't giving her a cold-blooded impression. She was wearing sothing like a turtleneck sweater paired with tight long pants. An overcoat of an unbelievably dark color was hanging over her shoulders.
However, what caught my attention wasn't the attire or her humongous knockers. It was the thing she was wielding over her shoulders.
"A sniper rifle??"
Although the shape and size don't match anything from my mory, the parts like the scope, the buttstock, the tripod, and the suppressor at the tip match what I know.
"Oh, you know what this is, brat?"
The woman, who was a few dozen ters away, seed to have heard my mumbling. Walking closer as she spoke.
"You seem to not be from my ti period though. I doubt there are guns any more in the outer world. Are you perhaps a reincarnated individual from ancient tis?"
Although her deanor was friendly, Fang never let down her guard. More like she was waiting for an opening in the mysterious lady's defenses to attack. However, despite having her weapon over her shoulder and her two hands inside her pockets, it was Fang who was sweating bullets as if all the openings in her stance were constantly targeted.
When she ntioned reincarnation, I was startled. I thought she figured out that I had mories of a different world. Hearing the words "ancient tis" right after that made have more questions than before though.
'You an there were guns in the past of this world?! Like a super civilization or sothing that declined for so reason?'
However, before I could ask that, Fang raised a question to the intruder.
"Who are you? What do you want!"
It seems that Fang's nerves were quite worn. She was already trembling all over while maintaining her crouched stance. Hearing this question, the woman glanced at Fang before smiling. She seed both happy and sad at the sa ti.
"Na... Na huh? It's been a long ti since I used it, but I was once called Fatima."
When I heard her na, sothing clicked inside my mind.
"Fatima... A sniper rifle... You an the Legendary Bounty Hunter Fatima Olgor?!"
Within legends, similar to the Void Beast, Fatima was a pretty famous individual. Although there were no descriptions of her weapons, it was said that she was a bounty hunter that can hunt her target even when they were thousands of kiloters away.
With her skill and her army of tad beasts counting past the hundreds, she was one of the most powerful God Tars ever recorded in ancient tis. However...
"You should have existed tens of thousands of years ago, how are you still alive?!"
This was the first question I raised. God Tars may have the word "God" on their title, but they don't live forever. With the amount of energy they have, at most, they could live for a millennium. Living for tens of thousands of years shouldn't be physically possible.
"Before that, your companion seems to be in a bad state. Her psyche is in shatters."
Even though she was still a few ters away in front of , walking leisurely, her voice echoed from sowhere beside . When I turned my head to my left, she was already there examining Ember's state. The figure walking in front of vanished when I looked back.
Even Fang, who never blinked even once, didn't catch her movents. An intense feeling of fear, anger, and worry washed over the link between and Fang.I think you should take a look at
"Don't worry, I an you guys no harm."
After she said so, she waved her hand over Ember. Nothing happened, no light, no energy fluctuation, nothing. However, a few seconds after, Ember shifted and opened her eyes.
"That's a similar healing technique to what God Zeshion used?!"
"Oh, is this technique familiar to you?"
Fatima said, amused after hearing my outburst.
"This is a rare technique called Fate intervention. It's of the void elent, which shouldn't exist anymore. That Zeshion or sothing should've been a lucky individual to have found one with a void elent."
Ember blinked her eyes continuously, as if her mind is awake but her consciousness wasn't fully sober yet.
"But speaking of void elent..."
Fatima placed her right hand on her chin while contemplating sothing as she stared closely at Ember.
"This little one... How rare... She had an innate space elent... And void?"
Fatima continued to inspect sothing on Ember. Fang then used the instant she was focused when a slight opening appeared and launched an attack.
"You're a feisty one, but I like it."
Fatima said as she used one finger to hold Fang down on the ground. It happened so fast that I didn't even see what happened. As soon as Fang pounced, the next instant, she was lying face down on the ground while Fatima was using her pinky on her back to hold her down.
When she let go of her finger, Fang weakly picked herself up before jumping back behind . Her energy was mostly spent for so reason.
"This must be Fate at work."
Fatima stood up and stared down at .
"I had been stuck in this space where ti doesn't exist for an extrely long period. Although it was to seal that Void Beast here, even I felt I drew the short end of the stick."
She sighed before extending her hand toward .
"Are you willing to work with and destroy the Void Beast reigning above ground?"
For our group, the Void Beast is sothing we fear. However, as long as it was sowhere above ground, we can't peacefully search for the exit.
Although I hesitated for a mont, I took her hand and nodded.
"Alright. I'll trust in you, for now, God Fatima."
Despite having the power to kill the three of us in an instant, she instead wanted to join hands to fight. Although I don't know why, I had nothing else to lose.
"Just Fatima is fine. Then, let's go."
