The next second—
Hah!
Blood spurted like a fountain as Elsa's body slowly split into two, crashing heavily onto the cold pavement.
In that lightning-fast clash, she had been sliced in half by Natsuki Subaru with a single, exquisite sword stroke.
This was the second time Elsa had died by Natsuki Subaru's hand.
"Cough… hahahaha…"
Elsa's upper body still writhed. She struggled to prop herself up on her arms, the severed cross-section of her waist rapidly regenerating, flesh visibly writhing and healing.
Elsa licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, revealing a morbid smile,
"Death… truly is the ultimate pleasure."
"What a complete lunatic."
Natsuki Subaru sighed inwardly, yet had to admit that obsession was indeed shocking.
"Do you hate women like me?" Elsa clasped her hands over her ample chest, the sound of her wounds rapidly healing was chilling.
"My wounds heal instantly, I can fight endlessly. Does that make you feel the fight is meaningless?
"Indeed, it's troublesome." Natsuki Subaru looked at Elsa with sharp eyes, speaking coldly, "Then I'll kill you until you can no longer recover!"
"So persistent with me…" Elsa's tongue lightly licked her blood-stained lips, then she revealed a chillingly seductive smile,
"I'm starting to like you, young man. I just feel like… your intestines would be the most beautiful color…"
"This woman."
Natsuki Subaru's mouth twitched slightly, unable to resist complaining inwardly:
She truly lives up to her name, Bowel Hunter Elsa.
Other women make one's heart ache; she only makes one's stomach ache.
The next moment—
Elsa attacked again!
"Clang!"
The explosive clash of metal resounded in the air, sparks showering like falling stars.
Elsa's surprise attack was precisely parried. Natsuki Subaru coolly stared at this deranged woman.
A beautiful face, an alluring figure, yet enveloping the most twisted soul.
It's worth noting that due to the continuous fighting and deaths,
Elsa's black dress was already tattered, revealing large expanses of pale skin and faintly visible black lace lingerie beneath the torn fabric.
But she paid no mind to these exposures.
On the other side, Natsuki Subaru would absolutely not be distracted by such things. His gaze remained locked on his opponent's vital points—throat, heart, and so on.
"Come on Let's have a passionate battle, young man"
Elsa's voice grew more hurried amidst the fierce clash, her full chest heaving with her rapid breaths.
Her black dress was already ruined, exposing large areas of white skin, but she didn't care, her eyes filled only with crazed battle intent.
"Now!"
Natsuki Subaru's eyes narrowed, and the dagger in his hand suddenly slashed out.
Whoosh!
The instant the sword aura tore through the air, Elsa's left wrist snapped.
Blood gushed out, but she revealed a grotesque smile.
Then, Elsa's severed left hand arced through the air, and the curved blade that had fallen to the ground strangely bounced, ricocheting off the walls, ceiling, and floor, eventually striking at a tricky angle directly towards Natsuki Subaru's back.
At this moment, the two were locked in close-quarters combat, and Natsuki Subaru had no way to turn and defend.
"Got him!"
Elsa's eyes widened, anticipating the beautiful sight of blood spraying—
All of this was her meticulously designed trap: feigning weakness, deliberately letting her wrist be severed, all for this one fatal blow.
However—
"Ding!"
The curved blade, just inches from Natsuki Subaru's back, was forcefully repelled by an invisible power.
"How is this possible?!"
Elsa's pupils constricted violently.
"A decent scheme." Natsuki Subaru looked at Elsa calmly and said, "But you still underestimate me."
Although it wasn't visible on the surface, Natsuki Subaru was equipped with system-provided armor all over his body, including breastplate, helmet, elbow guards, etc., totaling hundreds of defense points.
Elsa's physical attacks of that caliber simply couldn't penetrate Natsuki Subaru's defense.
Just as Elsa lost her focus for a moment—
"Thud!"
The sharp dagger sliced through the air, accompanied by the sound of flesh separating, and Elsa's head flew high, crimson blood tracing a tragic arc in the air.
Natsuki Subaru followed with a front kick, sending her headless body flying forcefully.
The entire motion was fluid, without the slightest hesitation.
Losing her head, shattered bones, ruptured organs, coupled with such a fierce impact—a normal person would have long since gone into shock or even died from the intense pain.
However, Elsa's body strangely writhed, and the bleeding wounds healed at a visible rate.
"Heh heh… truly wonderful."
Elsa's voice was hoarse and pleased, as if she was enjoying this almost sadistic battle.
Even though this was her third time being killed, her battle intent remained fervent, her eyes gleaming with morbid excitement.
The Bowel Hunter's nature had never changed.
Natsuki Subaru watched this scene coldly, the Kasaka's Poisoned Dagger in his hand subtly rotating, its cold gleam reflecting on his face, outlining a stern curve.
On the surface, Elsa, with her immortal characteristic, seemed to be gradually closing the gap with Natsuki Subaru.
However, the reality was quite the opposite.
From the start of the battle until now, Natsuki Subaru hadn't suffered even a scratch, while Elsa had already died three times.
"The scales of victory had long since tipped."
And on the other side, Elsa was also well aware of this.
Her strategy was simple: to use her undying constitution to continuously drain Natsuki Subaru's stamina until he revealed an opening.
However, she didn't know that Natsuki Subaru's physical endurance far surpassed that of an ordinary person, capable of sustaining several days of high-intensity combat.
Even if his stamina was depleted, Natsuki Subaru could instantly recover through status restoration or potions from the store.
More importantly—up to this point, Natsuki Subaru still hadn't gotten serious.
He hadn't used any skills, hadn't summoned any Shadow Soldiers. Simply relying on pure physical capabilities, he had completely crushed the Bowel Hunter who had once brought him to the brink of death multiple times.
"Truly captivating…" Elsa licked her lips, her dark eyes gleaming with morbid light. "Just how many secrets are hidden within your body? I'm increasingly eager to cut you open and see~"
"Want to dissect me?" Natsuki Subaru sneered, "With your inability to even touch my clothes?"
"Heh heh… Elsa's figure suddenly blurred, her voice coming from all directions. "Last time in the forest, you were almost gutted by me~"
"Last time was last time." Natsuki Subaru's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly shifted and swung his sword. "The current you—"
Clang!
The dagger precisely parried the incoming dagger from behind, sparks flying.
"—don't even have the right to make me serious!"
"Oh dear~ That's quite hurtful. But…" Elsa was forced to reveal herself, a more excited smile appearing on her face. "Isn't this more interesting?"
"Huh? You don't think I'm going to prolong this fight, do you?"
Natsuki Subaru looked at Elsa, his tone laced with undisguised contempt.
This wasn't arrogance; it was a fact.
It should be known that in the brief few minutes of their clash, he had already killed Elsa three times, while she hadn't even managed to touch his clothing.
If he wanted to, he could have killed her in a single strike.
There were three reasons why he hadn't immediately finished off Bowel Hunter Elsa:
Firstly, he wanted to test his own limits.
He wanted to see if he could defeat Elsa with just his physical strength, without relying on any skills.
And the facts proved that he absolutely could.
Secondly, he wanted to hone his combat skills.
Most of Natsuki Subaru's previous combat experience came from Magic Beasts in dungeons, and opportunities for life-or-death battles with human powerhouses were few.
An opponent like Elsa was the perfect whetstone.
Thirdly, it was to settle old scores.
It should be known that when Natsuki Subaru first arrived in this other world, he had been close to death at Elsa's hands, and later, in the encounter in the forest, he had again narrowly escaped death.
Therefore, Natsuki Subaru intended to use the most direct method, with absolute power, to completely crush this former nightmare.
The Bowel Hunter's nature had never changed.
"Ah-hahahaha..."
Elsa's lips curved into a seductive arc, her eyes flickering with morbid anticipation.
She was keenly aware of Natsuki Subaru's power; he was the most terrifying opponent she had ever encountered as a Bowel Hunter.
Even Reinhard, the Sword Saint, whom she had briefly clashed with, had never brought her such an intense sense of pressure.
Of course, that time Elsa had merely probed him before immediately retreating, never truly engaging Sword Saint Reinhard in combat.

Natsuki Subaru's slowly approaching figure was reflected in Elsa's dark eyes, her voice trembling with a hint of pleasure:
"Young man… do you know…. This is my first time…. Feeling so much death…"
Natsuki Subaru silently watched Elsa's head, his dagger slightly lowered.
"Every time… the feeling of you killing me… is different…" Elsa's lips curved into a morbid smile, her voice growing fainter,
"The surprise of the first time… the anger of the fifth time… the despair of the tenth time… ah, what a wonderful experience

Facing her impending death, Elsa was strangely calm.
