Erwin always felt that his eyes were a bit unique compared to those of other humans. He didn’t know whether he was born with them or trained them subconsciously.
However, his eyes certainly could pick up more details from everything. Even for a human, he could see not only their appearances but also the way they behaved. He studied psychology so that he could fully utilize his eyes.
But never in his wildest dream would a certain quote appear in his mind.
’If you stare into the Abyss long enough, the Abyss stares back at you.’
For a person who stripped people’s bare with his eyes to learn more about them, the opposite party would also stare at him. But this time, the one who was stripped naked was him.
No, it didn’t stop there. Erwin could feel that his world had changed into a black room where he could see nothing. Suddenly, a dim red light brightened the room, allowing him to see a dark figure standing before him. Its figure was deformed, but it still looked similar to that of a human.
Yet the moment that figure cast its gaze upon him, the crimson eyes that were filled with bloodlust pierced through him. Erwin wanted to scream and run, but his body refused to move.
The dark figure suddenly appeared before him and grabbed his arms before ripping them apart.
Aaagggghhh! Erwin wanted to scream. This indescribable pain was making him crazy, but he couldn’t wake up from this dream-like world.
The dark figure simply ripped all his limbs apart before slicing his body into pieces with its long and sharp claws.
In this world, he was like a mere prey that could only wait for his death.
"Aaagggghhh!" In a blink of an eye, Erwin noticed that the world had turned back as if everything he saw earlier was nothing but an illusion that appeared due to the intense bloodlust the eyes were exuding.
He dropped to his knees while covering his eyes. His body was convulsing uncontrollably, but the only thing he could do was scream. "Aaaggghhh!"
"Erwin?" Clovis panicked, not realizing what had happened. He noticed her bloodlust, but there was no killing intent, as if she never had any intention to harm them.
But looking at Erwin’s condition, the rage gradually took shape in his heart. Clovis could also feel a surging strength in his body, which was the signal of his entering the perfect state.
"Stop it!" Clovis rushed toward this mysterious woman, drawing his blades. He realized that the fact that she could harm Erwin that much just by staring at him meant Clovis wouldn’t be his opponent. However, if he could just last long enough, the Tier 7 people in this city would notice the battle and come.
The mysterious woman looked at him with a face devoid of emotion. She simply said, "I never intended to harm him. That boy had a rather unique perception…"
"Who are you?!" Clovis shouted while swinging his blade.
However, when the blades were about to reach her, she remained motionless, as if she didn’t mind if Clovis killed her.
Without hesitation, Clovis continued his swing. If killing her could protect Erwin, he would do it.
But even when Clovis completed his swing, the woman’s neck was still intact.
In fact, as soon as he lowered his head, he saw his blades disappear from his hands. It was then that he noticed his arms had gone numb.
"Khhh?!"
It turned out that the woman somehow knocked on his swords without him realizing it.
No, if Clovis took another look at the glaive on her back, its position had already changed because she was currently holding it.
’What? Even with the perfect state, I couldn’t even follow her movement?’ Clovis’ face turned pale. This opponent might even be stronger than his imagination.
At the same time, Clovis could see a red spark in her right eye. Clovis didn’t notice it, but the same thing occurred to his eyes.
After that, a screen appeared in front of them. Its color was red, matching the atmosphere of the only word written on it.
[Error]
"What?" Clovis looked shocked.
"Your blades are fine after getting hit by my weapon? That color… is it made of Tier 9 Dunkleosteus, which is known to be one of the toughest scales?" The mysterious woman’s expression remained unchanged as she discovered Clovis’ identity. "You should stop. You won’t be able to do anything against me. As I said earlier, I have no intention of harming both of you…"
"Then why do you attack him?" Clovis gritted his teeth while jumping back, standing in front of Erwin, who seemed to have passed out.
"He just saw something his heart had yet to be prepared for." She shook her head.

"Who are you?" Clovis bit his lips, changing the question. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he didn’t feel any killing intent. In addition, if he wanted to harm them, both of them would have died before realizing it. At the same time, he couldn’t drop his guard down and accept his end without any fight.
"My name? I have forgotten my birth name, but well, people call me Mara."
"Mara?" Clovis furrowed his eyebrows. There were a lot of questions in his mind, but after asking several questions, he calmed down a little bit.
He almost forgot about one thing. When both of them clashed, the world once again glitched as if there was an error in its calculation. The screen only appeared for less than half a second, but it was much clearer than the first glitch.
At the same time, there was a chance that he was the only one who could see it. So he couldn’t reveal that information.
To his surprise, she was the one who took the initiative this time. "It seems that you are similar to me."
"Similar? What do you mean?"
"I’m sure you have seen it as well." She pointed in the direction where the screen appeared earlier. "Error."
"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes in shock. Even though he thought this might be the reason she came here, it was still shocking to hear it directly from someone else. "Do you know something about it?"
All of a sudden, she disappeared for a split second and reappeared right before him. She grabbed his collar and pulled him closer so that their faces became extremely close, their eyes only an inch away from each other.
"That’s what I want to know as well."
