Chapter 47

As Lisha stood ready, the men of the thief gang burst into laughter.

"This is a masterpiece. Hey, you, go and deal with her!"

"Sure thing."

At the leader's command, a well-built man cracked his knuckles and approached Lisha. The scars all over his body spoke of his experience as a seasoned warrior.

"Don't hurt her face! With such a cute face, she can be sold at a high price to some pervert who likes young boys!"

At the leader's words, Lisha made a face of disgust.

The well-built man, noticing Lisha's vulnerability, reached out to restrain her.

However.

"Ow!"

The fingers of the man who tried to grab Lisha were crushed to a pulp, as if squashed by something massive.

"Didn't you hear about 'Vajra Shell: Finger Trap'?"

What Lisha did was simple. She crushed the man's hand as if shaking it, using her right hand hardened by the Vajra Shell. This alone was enough to render the man's large hand useless.

"Move aside a bit, will you?"

Without mercy, Lisha kicked the man who was writhing in sudden pain. The man flew past the leader and crashed into the warehouse wall, losing consciousness and collapsing on the spot.

"What, what is this...!"

The leader, realizing Lisha's abnormality, pointed his gun at her.

"What's wrong? Your gun is shaking?"

"Shut up, brat! You guys, shoot!"

With the leader's shot as the signal, the thief gang members opened fire simultaneously.

Bullets came from all directions, creating an impenetrable barrage. Besides, there was also Volk standing next to her. To defend against this, she would need this technique.

Lisha extended her hands to the sides, releasing qi to envelop both of them.

"Qi Technique, Defensive Form Two: 'Guardian Crane'!!"

A spherical wall of qi formed around them, transparent yet incredibly hard. This wall deflected all the incoming bullets, causing them to fall to the ground.

"Amazing..."

Involuntarily, Volk let out a word of praise. As a beastman, he was poor at magic but had a large amount of qi. He knew a few beastmen who were good at handling qi, but he had never seen anyone as skilled as Lisha in qi techniques.

"Alright, it's my turn to counterattack!"

Timing her move as the thief gang ran out of bullets, Lisha dispelled the Guardian Crane and launched her counterattack.

She couldn't use a big technique because of the stolen goods, so she took them down one by one with hand-to-hand combat.

"Monster...!"

As the leader watched his subordinates fall one by one, fear seeped into his voice. He knew he couldn't win against her, his instincts screaming it.

However, the leader had his pride. He couldn't stand the idea of being defeated by a child.

The action he took was unexpected to Lisha.

"Damn it! At least I'll take you with me!"

With that, the leader aimed his gun at Volk.

However, Volk, whose attention was drawn to Lisha, didn't notice the attack.

And then—cruelly, the bullet was fired.
