Chapter 126: The Light That Could Pierce Anything

In the city of Paris.

The riots were still happening everywhere.

Flames blazed from every direction.

Citizens ran desperately, trying to save themselves.

One of the civilians was suddenly caught by a villain.

Instantly, the civilian was stabbed by the villain’s arm, which had transformed into a sickle-like blade.

The citizen died on the spot.

After the lifeless body collapsed onto the ground, a shadowy figure shaped like a wolf suddenly lunged at the villain.

It moved so quickly that it clawed across the villain’s entire body.

Tearing him apart over and over again.

"ARGH!! STOP!! THIS HURTS!!"

The villain screamed in unbearable pain.

With one final slash, the villain collapsed onto the ground lifelessly.

The shadow wolf stopped attacking.

Na Yerin could be seen walking toward the villain’s corpse.

One arm rested on her waist.

"What a pain..."

The shadow wolf sniffed around Yerin’s body.

Yerin glanced at the wolf-shaped shadow.

’After losing to Indigo, my power went through a second awakening. Now I can turn my shadow clone into a shadow wolf... It’s more agile, faster, and more precise. But unfortunately, I’m still not used to this power yet... It drains my energy too quickly. Right now, I can only create one clone... It’s really not that helpful...’

Yerin turned toward the west.

An explosion could be seen happening there.

’Ji-hye seems far more useful here than I am... But that doesn’t make me feel pressured at all. I’ll still do everything I can to help here.’

With that, Yerin ran toward a group of villains who were chasing several civilians.

On the western side of the city.

Lightnova stood face-to-face against five top-class villains.

They surrounded her from every direction.

Yet Lightnova did not look afraid in the slightest.

She stood proudly with sharp eyes fixed on the villains before her.

"Look at her, so confident even though she’s all alone here, pretty lady~"

One of the male villains with punk-like hair mocked her.

"Just surrender and let us enjoy your body for a while~"

Another villain with a fat body and narrow eyes grinned obscenely.

Hearing that, Lightnova opened her mouth and spoke coldly.

"How pitiful... All you can think about is temporary pleasure with no meaning behind it."

After saying that, Lightnova created a sword of light in her hand.

Immediately, she flew toward the fat villain at incredible speed.

The fat villain widened his eyes in shock.

He instantly activated his power.

His body exploded violently.

The explosion was powerful enough to shake the surroundings.

Fortunately, Lightnova managed to dodge it swiftly.

She floated in the air while observing him.

The villain’s exploded body slowly reassembled itself and returned to normal.

"His body can regenerate...? Quite a terrifying ability."

Lightnova muttered softly.

Right as she was focused on the fat villain, another villain wearing a hat and a face covering suddenly flew toward her with a spear.

The spear tip aimed directly at Lightnova’s body.

It was only moments away from piercing her.

But at that exact moment, Lightnova spun through the air, causing the spear thrust to miss.

She immediately grabbed the spear with one hand.

The villain looked shocked.

"Compared to this, you’re nothing compared to the villains I’ve fought in my homeland!"

After saying that, Lightnova forcefully pulled the spear toward herself, dragging the villain holding it closer.

The moment he got close enough, Lightnova kicked him with tremendous force.

The villain was sent crashing into a pile of ruined buildings.

Right then, Lightnova sensed something behind her.

A laser attack.

However, Lightnova merely tilted her head slightly, allowing the laser beam to narrowly miss her.

She immediately turned around and threw the spear in her hand toward the villain who had fired the laser.

A female villain with short brown hair and a laser gun widened her eyes in shock.

The spear was too fast.

Yet before the spear could strike her, a huge muscular villain suddenly appeared in front of her.

He blocked the spear using his chest alone.

Lightnova looked slightly surprised.

’He blocked it with his body alone? His strength is impressive.’

At the same moment Lightnova was focused on the others, the punk-haired villain had already finished preparing his ability.

He had secretly been setting everything up from the start.

A massive circle had been drawn beneath Lightnova’s position.

With a small movement of his hand, he touched the circle.

Instantly, the circle glowed green.

Suddenly, a gigantic green glass structure emerged from the circle.

Lightnova widened her eyes in surprise.

She looked downward.

"Ah... I see now. Your teamwork is rather impressive."

Lightnova spoke coldly.

"But it still won’t be enough to stop me."

Lightnova attempted to strike the glass with her sword of light.

However, the moment the blade touched the glass, it shattered instantly.

Lightnova was shocked once again.

Her eyes widened as she stared at the broken sword.

"Hah! Surprised that your light sword couldn’t break it? My power is Absolute Glass Space! No one has ever escaped from it before! Not even S-Rank heroes!!"

The punk-haired villain shouted proudly.

Both of his hands remained pressed against the ground as he continued pouring power into the barrier.

Lightnova carefully observed him.

"Hm... Is that so?"

"Then you’re about to witness the first and last person who will ever escape from this glass prison." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

After saying that, Lightnova slowly closed her eyes.

She began to focus.

Her body started emitting light.

’Come on... Remember the moment when you were able to pass through something, Ji-hye...’

Lightnova thought as she concentrated intensely.

Her body slowly began trembling.

At first it was subtle.

But gradually, the vibrations became faster and faster.

Her body shook at incredible speed.

’I am light. And light can pass through things.’

The vibrations became even faster.

So fast that the villains began staring at her in confusion.

Lightnova slowly opened her eyes.

Then she reached out toward the glass.

Her hand passed through it.

’It worked!’

With that, Lightnova floated out of the glass prison completely.

The villains who witnessed it all widened their eyes in disbelief.

"W-WHAT!? HOW DID SHE DO THAT!?"

The punk-haired villain screamed in shock.

After successfully escaping the barrier, the vibrations around Lightnova’s body gradually stopped.

She held her head slightly.

"Ugh... It seems I’m still not used to vibrating at such high speeds... I’ll need to train myself to adapt to it later..."

Lightnova muttered while feeling slightly dizzy.

"How did you escape my Absolute Glass Space!?"

Hearing the punk-haired villain’s scream, Lightnova gave him a cold smirk.

"You underestimated me too much."

"I already told you..."

"I’ll make sure all of you regret becoming villains."

Lightnova spoke calmly, fully prepared to face all five villains before her.
