Seeing their buddy go down right in front of them, even the slowest guys in the Callewa gang snapped out of it. They didn't even bother to pull out their guns; they just rushed at Eileen with big knives.

At this point, they didn't care that their boss had taken a liking to this woman. After all, their boss was out of commission, maybe even dead.

But Eileen made their go-to street-fighting moves look like child's play.

Facing a bunch of knives coming at her, Eileen stayed chill. Her eyes had this faint red glow, and it felt like her senses were on steroids. It was like that time she faced those creepy underground monsters—the world around her seemed to slow down.

She dodged every swing like a pro, pulling out a hidden knife from her thigh. She used it to quickly and accurately take down each guy coming at her.

Brian wanted to shout a warning when he saw a knife swinging toward Eileen's back. But her super senses had already picked up on it.

Ducking at just the right moment, she made the guy miss completely. She then unleashed a spinning kick that took down attackers from three directions. As for the last guy in front of her, she stabbed him in the heart before he could even swing his weapon.

Everyone in the Seaside Bar, including Brian, was stunned. This woman they had underestimated was taking out these gang members like it was nothing, putting on a one-woman action show.

However, close combat was one thing; the situation was different at a distance.

"Damn it!"

Brian cursed. He'd been so captivated by Eileen's performance that he'd forgotten to draw his gun, as had many others in the bar.

By the time Brian realized he should join the fight, the remaining gang members had already cocked their guns. The gang members who'd died in close combat with Eileen had at least bought time for their comrades to aim.

"Die!"

With a roar full of hatred and madness, five or six Callewa gang members aimed their guns at Eileen, ready to pull the trigger.

In that moment, the only thought in Brian's mind was—Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

'It was over'.

Eileen was tough, but she couldn't dodge bullets. Several guns were aimed at her, and she had no cover.

The light pulse zapped through the whole bar, messing up everything in its path.

The electromagnetic pulse didn't destroy everything like a massive explosion would. Instead, it felt like a microscopic tidal wave flowing through them.

The gang members felt an electric current pass through their bodies, followed by a feeling as if someone had hammered their minds.

Those who were weaker blacked out immediately. The ones who managed to stay conscious were dazed and unsteady.

No one, except for Eileen, had any clue what had just happened.

Especially Callewa gang members.

Where was the sound of gunfire?

Why did they only hear a click when they pulled the triggers?

They tried pulling the triggers again, but all they heard was a click, like a misfire. Even the high-tech submachine gun, imported and enhanced with smart chips for accuracy and power, was completely paralyzed.

A burnt smell even started to emanate from the chip compartment.

Usually, an electromagnetic pulse only affects electronic components. But under the influence of Renji's Tainted Miasma ability, his "Magnetic Pulse" disarmed and destroyed any weapon within its range, regardless of its material.

But that wasn't all.

If it was just about disarming enemies, Renji wouldn't have chosen "Magnetic Pulse" as the skill to copy from 'Zero.'

In the game, Zero's "Magnetic Pulse" also boosts the user's abilities.

So, it's not just about breaking weapons; it also sucks up energy from around it to do so. This energy then powers up the user for a bit.

So, one second, the gang members were still recovering from their malfunctioning guns and disoriented minds.

The next second, that light ring that caused all of this popped up again. Only this time, it had dark red mixed in with the white. It quickly pulled back like a net being reeled in and went back to where it started.

And that starting point was Renji.
