The Author's POV

—Spurt!

"Haa...haa...Damn it!"

Extracting the tip of her spear out of the corpse of a villain, Melissa cursed. This was the fifth person she had killed. With combat not being her forte, Melissa was obviously easily tired. Her breathing was rugged.

If not for her spear, she would've been in deep trouble.

With the effect of the spear, by feeling their bloodlust, Melissa was less prone to sneak attacks.

This was specially made for her since she did not have a battle instinct as others did. With her spending most part of the day inside of a lab, it was only natural that she didn't have a battle instinct.

Battle senses could only be developed through experience. Without experience, such a thing was not possible.

—Shuuuua!

Suddenly, Melissa's spear vibrated. Leaning back, the sharp tip of a reaper passed by her grazing the side of her cheek.

"Hup!"

Turning around, Melissa took a step back and swung the spear horizontally creating a beautiful arc.

—Spurt!

Blood spilled everywhere, and a female villain fell to the ground.

Ignoring the corpse, Melissa wiped the side of her cheek, and muttered, "Haa...that's the sixth"

Aside from the effect of the skill, the spear was extremely sharp giving her an advantage over opponents of the same level. As long as her opponent was not a lot stronger than her, she could hold her own.

"Haaaaa—!"

Before she could relax, a large blade slashed in her direction. Feeling the bloodlust, Melissa instinctively straightened her spear and blocked the attack.

—Clank!

Loud sparks flew everywhere and Melissa took ten steps back.

'Damn it, he's stronger than me'

From the initial exchange, she knew that her opponent was stronger than her. She might be in trouble this time.

—Swoosh!

"Haa!"

Without giving Melissa any time to think, her opponent slashed vertically towards her. Once again, Melissa straightened her spear.

'Damn it!'

—Spurt!

Just as Melissa was about to block the attack, a silver streak brushed past her and impaled the man in the head. Blood spilled everywhere.

"Haa...Ha...Thanks!"

Sighing in relief, Melissa turned around and nodded her head. In the distance, Amanda held her bow and repeatedly shot arrows supporting anyone she could. Her cold eyes surveilled the perimeter like a hawk. Nothing escaped her vision.

Standing in front of her, multiple students formed a protective shield. Like this, Amanda reaped through the lives of multiple villains.

Naturally, she attracted the attention of a lot of villains as well.

"Attack her!"
