Detecting the identity of a monma through smell was a skill of the keen sense of smell that evolved in suins.
However, Romi found it not easy to determine the identity through smell alone, even with a slightly higher level of monma.
She attributed this difficulty to being a half-blood born between a suin and a human.
The abilities of half-bloods varied widely.
Of course, she hadn’t completely dismissed her suspicions.
The faint scent she caught when she first encountered Jane had continued to bother her.
That’s why she followed her.
But with a faint hope, she never expected to witness such a scene.
No, she hoped it wouldn’t happen.
“Too bad.”
“……. ”
“I thought I finally met a friend who got along quite well after a long time.”
Although Romi muttered to herself in a troubled mind, she soon regained her composure.
In any case, the fact that she couldn’t identify Jane at once meant that Jane was a quite powerful monma of intermediate or higher level, and it was a fight where dragging time had no benefit.
So, she offered her own farewell.
“Your sister’s eyes are well-dried, I’ll keep them for a long time.”
“What…!”
Before Romi could retort, she was thrown off.
Thunk!
Reflectively avoiding the punch that flew toward her groin, Jane dodged, creating distance.
Thanks to this, the pressure on the unconscious homeless man was released, and fortunately, there was no harm to his life.
Jane took a defensive stance and glared at Romi.
“…What are you?”
In response to her question, Romi replied.
“Unfortunately, I’m not an ally.”
It was sincere.
The statement that it was unfortunate because she wasn’t an ally.
Jane was also confused, so it took her some time to grasp reality.
Organizing her now cold mind, she read Romi’s aura.
Not a monma.
Not a celestial being either.
Thin, elongated eyes sparkled fiercely, and she sighed as if she had realized something.
“…You’re a suin?”
But the surprise lasted only a moment.
Jane twisted her lips, sneering.
“No wonder the dog scent was vibrating.”
“Who’s talking! Your scent wasn’t innocent either? Monmas smell like rotten fish to humans.”
“Shut up!”
It was a moment when a period was put on the short and intense history of their friendship.
Without saying who would go first, they attacked each other, entangling themselves thoroughly.
Once the identity was revealed, it was clear that Romi had undoubtedly aimed for Kang, the original target.
She had to subdue Jane as quickly as possible.
Puh-eok!
Struck by Romi’s swinging fist, Jane took a direct hit to the jaw and fell backward.
Thud!
Her body hit the cement wall, and Jane, who fell down, got up, brushing off the dust.
Then, shaking her head left and right, she said,
“Ha… Now you even have the nerve to mock me, even a bastard like that?”
The face that had been self-pitying was now replaced with a smirk.
“I’ll kill you.”
Having gathered even the resentment received from Shin-hwi, she shivered and launched herself at Romi.
After completing the exploration, Jane’s speed became noticeably faster than just now.
Whoosh! Boom!
Fists and kicks, like rockets, flew haphazardly.
“Mom!”
Kwaaang!
Jane’s right foot, barely evaded, pierced through the concrete floor.
The thought that if it had hit properly, there might not be anything left of her head, made Romi’s face turn pale.
“This damn little rat!”
Jane lifted the foot she had stuck into the ground and aimed again at Romi’s vulnerable spot.
Although she managed to block the attack that followed closely, she couldn’t avoid the fist flying from the opposite side.
“Ouch!”
Quang-tang-tang!
Romi, who had rolled on the ground, staggered to her feet, raising her head.
A feeling of the surroundings spinning round and round.
“…Oh, I’m dizzy.”
Even though she had managed to avoid the hit, the impact was tremendous.
It was fortunate that it was a secluded place; otherwise, it could have caused a commotion.
What should she do? Should she change the location?
Unable to move far away from the river, she was pondering when Jane changed direction and started running.
Realizing that Jane was once again targeting the homeless man’s life, Romi shouted, “No!”
That’s when it happened.
The sky flashed, and in an instant, a barrier was erected in all directions.
Kugu-gugu-gugu [Dash].
Startled by the unusual energy, Romi looked up at the sky.
Suins couldn’t create barriers, and the only ones capable were Celestials or Monmas.
But one thing was clear: the barrier now in place wasn’t Jane’s.
She soon confirmed the owner of the barrier, and her eyes widened.
“This is…!”
It was a Celestial’s barrier.
At the same time, a thin and sharp voice flew in.
“Stop.”
A man in white clothes with long flowing hair appeared, wielding a large scythe.
The golden light, shaped like lightning, bounced off the scythe and flew toward Jane, causing her to evade the attack and fall away from the homeless man.
Kwa-gwang!
The cement wall was cut off like tofu.
The aftermath of the destruction transmitted shockwaves to Jane’s fingertips.
