Deviant: No Longer Human

But just as she prepared to launch her counterattack, her attention wavered—distracted by the endless horde of Skinwalkers closing in from all sides.

Sssss....

And in that split second, she realized her mistake.

She looked up—her eyes widening as she saw the massive foot of the King of Rakshas descending upon her, the shadow of his attack swallowing her whole.

The ground trembled as the monstrous foot neared her, the sheer size of it about to crush her beneath its weight.

But then—

BAM!

Wang Xiao appeared out of nowhere, his hand raised effortlessly to stop the monstrous foot of the King of Rakshas.

The force of the stomp halted as if it had struck an immovable object. Wang Xiao stood there, unflinching, his eyes gleaming with calm determination as he glanced toward the woman with an unmistakable glimmer of interest.

She was the reason he had come.

Ever since he had sensed the energy that didn't belong to this world, he had been drawn here.

He never expected that the source of that energy would be her—a living person.

It stunned him. How was she here?

Did she pass through the two worlds with her physical body?

His mind filled with questions, but the sheer fact of her existence had already thrown his expectations into chaos.

Before he could say a word, the woman's gaze darkened with fury, her fiery eyes locking onto him like a hunter.

Without a single moment of hesitation, she raised her hand, and a torrent of flames exploded from her palm.

Whoosh!

The fire surged toward Wang Xiao like a sea of hellish fury, crashing against him with relentless heat.

Wang Xiao's eyes widened in shock as he realized she was attacking him. He had saved her, hadn't he?

But there was no time to ponder the "why" as the inferno swallowed him.

His expression hardened instantly, his body bracing against the roaring flames as he shot himself through the fire like a missile, his body splitting through the flames with terrifying speed.

WHOOSH!

In an instant, Wang Xiao was upon her, his hand slamming into her stomach, the impact knocking the air from her lungs.

"Argh!" she groaned, her body folding from the blow as she staggered backward.

But the moment between them was short-lived.

The King of Rakshas, still raging in the background, lifted his enormous hand, preparing to strike both of them down with a single sweep of his massive arm.

Before his attack could land, something enormous and bone-white appeared from behind.

CLANG!

The King's hand was caught mid-swing by something equally massive—an enormous, skeletal figure. It was a towering white bone skeleton, just as large as the King of Rakshas, its hollow eye sockets glowing with an eerie light as it glared down at the King with a wicked presence.

The King of Rakshas stared in disbelief, its eyes widening at the sight of the bony giant that now stood before him, holding his arm in a death grip.

The battlefield trembled under the weight of the two colossal figures as the King of Rakshas tried to yank his arm free, but the bone giant didn't let go, its grip unyielding.

Wang Xiao, still standing over the woman's collapsed form, looked over his shoulder, a sly smirk playing on his lips. "It seems the tables have turned," he murmured, his tone dripping with satisfaction as he turned his attention back to the fiery woman beneath him.

She glared up at him, her chest heaving with fury, but she made no move to speak.

Her eyes burned with the same fire that had consumed the battlefield, and Wang Xiao couldn't help but feel intrigued by her more with every passing moment.

Without wasting a second, Wang Xiao raised his hand, his expression hardening as he looked down at the woman beneath him.

She saw his fist approaching, her beautiful eyes widening with a flicker of panic, realizing she had misjudged him. But before she could react—

BAM!

His fist crashed into her face, the impact tearing the air.

BAM! BAM!

Again and again, his punches struck, each blow harder than the last, sending shockwaves through the ground beneath them.

Her delicate features twisted under the force of his strikes, blood splattering from her lips, staining the earth beneath her.

Wang Xiao stood above her, his feet planted firmly on her abdomen, grinning down at her as he delivered blow after blow, his laughter echoing through the chaos around them.

"You wanted to kill me? Like this?" he sneered, his voice dripping with contempt.

Just because she came from another world, did she think she could attack him and get away with it?

Did she believe, for even a moment, that he wouldn't retaliate?

His fists continued to rain down, her blood coating his knuckles as he pummeled her, the fire in her eyes dimming under theassault.

She had clearly seen him save her, yet she had attacked him without hesitation.

Was her world so different that this was how she responded to help?

Well, if this was the language she understood, then he would teach her a lesson in it.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

"Ah..." The woman groaned, blood spilling from her lips, staining her pale skin.

The ground beneath her body caved inward with each blow, sinking a few meters deep, her frame pressed into the earth from the sheer force.

Still, despite the brutality, her face didn't burst into a mist of blood, her skin refusing to shatter like a normal opponent's might.

Wang Xiao paused for a moment, narrowing his eyes as he looked at her, surprised by her durability.

Her strength must be at least Quasi-Transcendent. Interesting.

"Wh—?" He felt it then—a sudden burning pain.

His eyes flicked downward, and to his shock, he saw her hand gripping his leg tightly. Her skin glowed red-hot, like molten magma, burning through his flesh with searing sound.

The heat radiated from her hand, the air around them warping from the sheer temperature.

Wang Xiao grinned through the pain, his lips curling into a sadistic smile. "Good girl..."

Without hesitation, he yanked his leg free from her grip, the burning sensation momentarily flooding his senses.

But before she could recover, before she could make another move—

BAM!

He slammed his foot directly into her face, the force of his kick snapping her head back.

"Ah!" She cried out, the sound escaping her bloodied lips as her head slammed into the ground, the impact sending cracks through the earth beneath her.

Wang Xiao stood over her, breathing heavily, his eyes gleaming with both rage and amusement.

The woman, bruised and bloodied, lay beneath him, her body still trembling with power despite the beating she had just endured.

But even now, there was still a fire in her eyes—something that only made Wang Xiao's grin widen.

He, for once, was loving the fight against something that didn't break with a single punch!
