Boom!
Boom!
With two consecutive explosive impacts, four fists collided instantly, and an overwhelming force surged from each opponent's punch.
Argana and Bache both showed surprise as they were forced back three steps.
Meanwhile, Tione and Tiona were utterly shocked, simultaneously retreating over a dozen steps.
The ground tiles shattered like plastic.
The deafening roar echoed like thunder.
The commotion was far more tremendous than anyone had anticipated, startling the surrounding adventurers who had gathered to watch. They hastily scrambled away—any delay could have been fatal.
"This feeling... have you both reached Level 6?"
"...Most likely."
Argana and Bache examined their fists, their nerves screaming with pain akin to fractured bones.
Yet, despite the agony, their expressions remained unshaken, as if basking in spring breeze.
"You actually managed to push us back?"
"Don't tell me you two have also reached Level 6?"
Tione and Tiona similarly ignored the even greater pain, their faces tense as they stared at the pair before them.
Their opponents' progress had completely exceeded expectations.
This might turn into an unimaginably brutal battle!
Argana grew even more exhilarated, while Bache's eyes brimmed with unyielding fighting spirit.
Like madwomen, instead of shrinking from the impending battle against equals, they radiated a savage bloodlust from the depths of their souls!
"They actually reached Level 6?"
Meanwhile, Eiji, observing the fight from the entrance of the Dian Cecht Familia, was astonished.
Though he had sensed their formidable presence earlier, the brief encounter hadn't prepared him for this level of strength.
"Wasn't it said that outside Orario, without a natural environment like the Dungeon, Level 2 or Level 3 adventurers could dominate entire regions?"
Gods were spread across the world.
Familia weren't exclusive to Orario either.
However, thanks to the Dungeon—an unparalleled natural hazard—Orario's adventurers could easily reach higher levels. The outside world lacked such powerful monsters, making Level 2 adventurers formidable figures in their own right.
This was why Orario stood as the world's center.
Yet these two from the Kali Familia, hailing from an almost isolated peninsula, possessed strength rivaling first-class adventurers?
This was entirely unexpected.
"Because in Telskyura, they fight every day, gambling their lives each time."
Airmid whispered, "Their frequency of battle surpasses even ours, despite having the Dungeon. The entire nation is like a crucible—eventually, it was bound to produce two extraordinary warriors."
A savage land of slaughter.
That was Telskyura. That was the Kali Familia.
Bathing in blood daily, engaging in endless battles—only such an environment could forge such terrifying fighters.
Unfazed by pain, thirsting for their enemies' blood, as if their entire existence was devoted to combat. Fighting itself was the purpose and meaning of their lives.
"Did you... kill Belnas and Belnas?"
Tiona and Tione's expressions twisted with anguish.
"Of course, we killed them!"
Alchana replied casually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"If you want to become stronger, you must continuously bathe in the blood of your comrades. That's why we killed them—in the ritual of slaughter!"
To create a Level 2, they made countless Level 1s fight to the death.
To create a Level 3, they made countless Level 2s fight to the death.
And ultimately, to create a Level 6, they made countless Level 5s fight to the death.
In such a barbaric and inhumane nation, it was only natural that Argana and Bache, having reached Level 6, were drenched in the blood of countless comrades.
"You two... are no different."
Bache's brief words struck like a nail, piercing deep into their hearts.
She was right.
Tiona and Tione had only left Telskyura after becoming Level 3.
Which meant that, before then, they too had been stained with the blood of their comrades.
Among them had been close friends, roommates, those they saw as little sisters, those who had cared for them like older sisters... and all of them had died by their hands.
"Shut up!"
As if a taboo had been touched, Tione's eyes burned with fury, her roar echoing through the streets like a lion's.
Tiona's smile vanished as well, and the two lunged forward like wolves with reopened wounds.
The relentless barrage of fists erupted without pause.
Fists capable of reducing ordinary people to pulp mercilessly slammed into their opponents, blood spraying freely.
Muscles, veins, bones—everything began to shatter under the endless collisions.
Like demons.
There were no girls in that battlefield—only four fiends locked in slaughter.
"Such a brutal fight..."
Airmid couldn't bear to watch any longer.
As a healer, she was no stranger to life and death, but she had never witnessed a battle so cruel—one where combat was treated as pleasure and injury as ecstasy.
Eiji, however, did not look away.
Wounds like these were nothing to unsettle him.
"This is bad."
Yet his expression remained grim.
"What is?"
Airmid blinked in confusion.
"Those two from the Kali Familia have been Level 6 for a while now—they're fully accustomed to their power. But Tiona and Tione only broke through last night. This is their first fight since then."
They hadn't yet adapted to their drastically increased strength, their movements still clumsy, relying entirely on sheer momentum to keep fighting.
Eiji explained as much.
"If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. But their movements are far too similar."
His gaze flickered between Tione and Argana, then Tiona and Bache.
Straight punch met straight punch. Whip kick met whip kick.
Tione and Argana both fought with serpentine fluidity, while Tiona and Bache both excelled in hurricane-like combos.
This went beyond mere martial styles—it wasn't something as simple as the Amazonian techniques.
"Most likely, Argana and Bache were Tione and Tiona's teachers, respectively."
Eiji murmured.
The two from the Kali Familia appeared significantly older than Tiona and Tione, and they were also twins... Perhaps due to Telskyura's system, they had once been paired together, instructing the younger twins in combat.
As proof, Argana and Bache were far too familiar with Tiona and Tione's movements, often predicting their attacks before they even began, countering them effortlessly and overwhelming them completely!
"Stop."
Eiji stepped forward.
He had no choice but to step forward.
If left unchecked, Tiona and the others would surely lose!
In the arena.
When Eiji's voice reached her, the fighting spirit on Tiona's face faltered slightly, and her movements hesitated.
But Bache paid no heed.
Seizing the opening, she even lowered her stance and drove an uppercut straight into Tiona's abdomen!
Without mercy!
"I told you to stop. Didn't you hear me?"
A cold voice pierced her ears.
Bache shuddered violently.
A warrior's instinct screamed that something extremely dangerous had locked onto her!
