“Found you,” the figure says, grinning sinisterly. The glowing light around the figure fades, revealing an otherworldly man, a sort of deity…

“Who are you, and how did you find me?” Blair asks, feeling uneasy.

“I’m just a traveler passing through this town,” the man replies, his smile filled with cunning.

“But during my stay, I came across a threat that needs to be eliminated,” he adds, as a bright white light shines from his hand.

As the light fades, a magnificent golden spear appears in the man’s hand.

“Blair! We’ll help you deal with him!” Anne and Hayes declare confidently, positioning themselves in front of her.

“Thank you, but I must face this person alone for ruining my day,” Blair states, briefly touching Anne and Hayes. Shadows envelop them, and a portal suddenly opens, pulling them into safety. Blair has used shadow teleportation to relocate them.

At the same time, shadows gather around Blair, forming a sleek black leather jacket, pants, and boots that she now wears.

“I don’t need armor or weapons to defeat you,” Blair asserts, clenching her fists.

“I don’t use armor either. And your decision to send those people away was unwise, for I will defeat them regardless. They seem powerful, capable of slaying gods,” the man says, abruptly interrupted as he is struck with a powerful blow to his chest. He skids backward, finally stopping as he impales his spear into the ground.

“That was close… Before I end your life, let me introduce myself. I am Wavagi, the god of beer,” Wavagi announces, his smile beaming.

Hearing his self-proclaimed title, Blair looks perplexed.

‘Is he joking? This guy must have consumed a lot of beer to think he’s a god. I shouldn’t worry too much; he doesn’t seem like a big threat,’ Blair thinks to herself.

“I can sense your thoughts… You think I’m not a challenge because I’m the god of beer. But if you consider the countless beer enthusiasts, you’d be foolish to underestimate me!” Wavagi bellows, launching his spear at Blair with tremendous force, distorting the air around them.

Seeing the spear hurtling towards her at high speed, Blair grows more concerned. The distance between her and Wavagi is vast, leaving little time to react.

Empowering her hand with Ki, Blair grabs the spear’s head, forcefully pushing it away from her face.

The spinning spear hangs in mid-air as Blair maintains her grip. Its power becomes evident as her palm tears apart despite being surrounded by Ki.

Using even more Ki, Blair manages to stop the spear’s momentum, sending it flying far away.

“Someone stopped my attack…” a chilling voice comes from above.

Looking up, Blair sees Wavagi descending upon her, wielding a war hammer.

Boooooooooom!!!!!!!!!!!!

The war hammer crashes into the ground, creating a powerful shockwave that sends debris flying.

The abundance of sand hampers Blair’s movement, making it difficult for her to navigate.

Leaping several meters backward, Blair wipes blood from the corner of her mouth. She had underestimated her opponent.

“I broke my master’s rule: never underestimate yourself or handicap yourself to prove superiority. Regardless of the opponent, always give your all and finish swiftly, with some hidden tricks, unless it’s a friendly match,” Blair mutters, opening a small portal and retrieving a massive, elongated sword.

As the debris settles, Blair’s vision clears. Wavagi stands before her, his eyes glowing with a malevolent green hue. He now has hind legs, giving him a more menacing appearance, and the scales on his shoulders pulsate with subtle movements.

Both his hands hold weapons—a spear and a war hammer—with an aura that signifies their elevated status.

“You’ve shown skill in evading and turning my weapon against me. But I wonder how long you can keep evading,” Wavagi remarks as a radiant white aura surrounds him.

Simultaneously, a dark miasma emanates from Blair.

Without hesitation, Blair tightens her grip on the sword’s hilt as shadows converge around her, completely enveloping her. Multiple copies of herself appear, stretching to a count of a thousand, encircling Wavagi.

“Now it’s my turn…” echoes the collective voice of the Blairs, their swords raised in unison.

Seeing this turn of events, a terrified expression crosses Wavagi’s face. Neon-colored energy gathers on the blades of the countless swords pointed at him, ready to strike him down.

‘I need to report this to my superiors! I didn’t even get a chance to unleash my full power. Despite having immense celestial energy, I’m threatened by a mere child. Damn it! I’m no match for an experienced fighter,’ Wavagi thinks to himself, and in an instant, a brilliant, blinding light engulfs him.

Realizing she can no longer sense Wavagi’s presence, Blair lowers her sword. Her numerous clones disintegrate into dust. Wavagi is nowhere to be found.
