>sie didn’t even turn around.
1 a fraction of a millisecond, she whipped her massive greatsword backward, slamming the flat of the blade directly into the bullet’s trajectory. he high–caliber slug sparked violently against the dark steel, flattening like a pancake before ricocheting harmlessly into a nearby concrete pillar. The Legendary Blade didn’t even take a scratch.
the shadows of the second floor, the ambushers froze. Their breath caught in their throats.
hey couldn’t wrap their heads around it. Blocking a bullet with a sword? It defied physics. Her reaction time… her precision… it was unreal. One illisecond off, and she would’ve been dead meat.
ut Josie hadn’t just relied on reflexes.
he had Siphoned a Tier–1 Metallic power. Anyone with a high–level Metallic ability possessed a god–like sixth sense for steel. The moment the sniper ulled the trigger, Josie had felt the bullet’s trajectory, its speed, its exact mass.
ler response was instant, calculated, and flawless.
ɔsie didn’t break her stride. She didn’t even bother looking up at the balcony. She just kept walking down the main aisle, treating the men hiding in the ark Hke they didn’t even exist.
ler sheer, unadulterated arrogance sent a ripple of fury through the ambushers.
I’m gonna waste this btch!” one of the thugs hissed, racking the slide of his assault rifle, itching for a fight.
ut a heavy hand clamped down on his shoulder, pinning him in place.
Stand down, you idiot. Unless she makes a move on us, we stay put,” the squad leader whispered, his face dark and grim with sweat. “We aren’t the only nes who awakened powers today. She’s rolling solo in a dead zone for a reason. She’s an apex predator.”
Boss, aren’t you giving her too much credit?” the thug shot back, clearly insulted. “She’s one girl, and we’ve got a dozen guns. We light her up, she’s done
You don’t know sht!” the leader snapped, his patience hitting zero. “I told you, securing the supplies is the priority. Everything else comes second!”
Boss, look!” another man gasped, pointing a trembling finger at the ground floor. “No wonder she’s so damn confident. She’s a Metallic!”
very eye on the balcony snapped toward Josie.
he had stopped in front of a heavy, reinforced security door leading to the mall’s primary stockroom. The door was locked tight, built to withstand a omb blast.
osie didn’t reach for her sword. She just raised her bare hand.
Inder the invisible, crushing force of her Metallic power, the heavy steel door began to groan. The metal buckled, twisting and shrieking like a wet rag eing wrung out. With a sickening crunch, the center of the door caved in, ripping a massive hole straight through the steel.
The men on the balcony went dead silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Chad… you’re a Metallic too, one of the thugs whispered, staring at their own resident Super with wide eyes. “Can you pull that off?
Chad’s face went paper–white. He shook his head slowly, his expression grim. “No fcking way. I can barely bend a padlock right now. Turning a vault loor into scrap metal in two seconds? Impossible. She has to be a Tier–1 already.”
The leader swallowed hard, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He was damn glad he hadn’t given the order to fire. If they had picked a real fight with her, they would be the ones bleeding out on the marble floor right now.
Josie stepped through the ruined door.
Every aisle she walked down, she raised her hand. Store.
Shirts, tactical boots, thermal pants, socks, high–grade winter coats. She didn’t care about the brand or the size. If it was there, she took it. Entire sections of the stockroom vanished into her Spatial Vault in the blink of an eye.
But this mall was massive. Emptying the whole place manually would take at least two or three days.
