The direct action that took her life was the street lamp that had gone through her chest. Whatever had attacked her, took her energy and then ended it with the street lamp. It must have been a situation where she could not help but get hit. If not, she would not have died like that.

All they can see from the corpse is how she died. Vanessa looks at Benukiz’s corpse.

They need to see how her battle against the opponent went. Narsiel came back to her senses and looked for traces of the battle like Vanessa is doing.

“It’s small and fast.”

“Extremely.”

The opponent is small. The attack on Benukiz iwas focused on one place. An attack is something that is meant to kill. It was focused because it was small.

Everything in the area where Benukiz died is in chaos. There is no doubt that they moved around as they fought.

“What is this? She wasn’t able to land a single telling blow? This is a lie, right?”

It is all Benukiz’s wreckage. There is nothing of the enemy’s. This does not make sense. Narsiel needs to be wary of being hit if she fights with Benukiz, too.

How strong was the enemy that she was attacked unilaterally?

“If it were you… could you die in the same way Benukiz did?”

Vanessa shakes her head to Narsiel’s question. There is no way to answer without fighting, but it seems that it would be hard even for the strongest of the 4 sisters.

Vanessa touches the part of the building that has been sharply cut.

It is clean.

But there is no feeling of vigor to the cutting.

Artificial? There is nothing to express it, but it feels something like that.

The wind changes behind them. At that moment, Vanessa and Narsiel exchange looks. The smell. It is unfamiliar yet familiar smell.

Papat!

Vanessa runs toward the direction from where the smell is coming. It is faint. It is so faint that it felt like it could disappear, but they are sure they smelled it.

A tongue, long and thin like a whip, comes out and picks a piece of metal off the ground. Vanessa sees this and her face shakes.

“This…..”

“Human blood? Benukiz died because of a mere human?”

The piece of metal is the only clue they have picked up in this wreckage.

The blood is not visible to the eye. A long time has passed since it dried and disappeared. Level 8 super senses are able to pick up on the blood that has dried and gone away.

That is right.

They thought Benukiz had been killed by a strong mutant, but she was killed by a human.

Blood dropped by coincidence? There’s no way.

“Why was Benukiz here?”

“It’s either coincidence or a lure.”

There is a higher chance that it is the latter. If they want to find out what happened, they have no choice but to find the person who did it and ask him. The key is in how to find him.

“How about the youngest?”

“She’s fine. She said she discovered something fun, and I’m guessing it’s torture. Well.”

The youngest Vanessa is referring to is Odelia. The last time Narsiel contacted her is a few weeks ago, and she said she is staying somewhere in Austin, Texas.

“Let’s go.”

“Alright.”

They are nervous. The youngest is weaker than their 3rd sister. She is strong as an individual, but she will not be able to last for very long if she comes across an enemy like that.
