X-Rank Hunter

Chapter 174: Revenge

Immediately, instead of even a shred of will to help her, Jim and Ben had a thought of smacking this Janine instead. Just what kind of attitude was this? Was this the appropriate behavior when asking for help?

Nonetheless, Jim still endured what he felt right now as he asked Ben, "Ben, cut that hair immediately, or else it will only get more annoying."

Ben gritted his teeth. He didn't want to do it but when Jim said that it might get even more annoying, he could only click his tongue before he walked closer to Janine to hurry up and free the other party already. Ben gripped the dagger even more tightly as he aimed for the hair entangling Janine's wrist.

Ben was just astonished that even with his ability to feel everything in a certain range, he couldn't detect any strand of hair at all. As if Janine was just fine.

Nonetheless, it was Jim who said that Janine was being tied from the hair of that lunatic girl. He trusted Jim too, thus, he would not hesitate to slash his dagger all around just like what he had done to himself a while ago for him to free himself from the same kind of situation.

That being said, and with eyes flashing with cold glint, as if he was going to attack Janine herself, Ben raised his dagger.

But then, something unexpected happened. He was just about to slash the dagger when suddenly, Janine disappeared right in front of him. Ben's eyes got widened before realization quickly dawned upon him.

Ben hurried himself to turn around with his gritting teeth. And sure enough, when he turned around, he immediately caught sight of Janine who was being transported near Elaine.

Tsk! We're late! Jim clicked his tongue. He'd also turned around as he saw Janine who was being transported near Elaine. He could even see that three question marks had appeared on top of Janine's head.

"Huh?" Janine, who was expecting to be freed already by Ben, suddenly found the world before her, changed in the blink of an eye. Just what had just happened? Janine was still confused but then, she suddenly noticed something.

Janine reflexively turned her gaze in her left direction as she was immediately taken aback, "Ehh??? Why are you here? Are you a specter?"

Why was this lunatic beside her now? Janine still couldn't understand what was going on when she suddenly turned her gaze in the other direction as she caught sight of two brats. Janine immediately frowned before she realized her current situation.

"You!" Janine found her hand clenching into a fist as veins had even popped out trying their hardest to suppress her frustration. She was being transported again, how could she not become angry with this? Could it be that this lunatic wasn't planning on freeing her? If that was the case, then it would really be too annoying.

With that, Janine had immediately thrown out her fist against Elaine to teach this girl a lesson. But then, she only found herself disappearing again and then reappeared on the other side where her back was facing the other party.

Her punch caused a strong shockwave as every tree ahead was almost pushed to the ground.

Tsk! Janine clicked her tongue. She had already seen the same tricks when this girl used this annoying teleportation ability against Ben. But now that she experienced it firsthand, she suddenly realized how difficult it was to deal with this.

One hit. Only one hit. Janine thought that she only needed this one hit in order to defeat the other party. With that in mind, she turned around and come to attack Elaine. But then, it was just too bad for her that she was being teleported then and again as her barrage of attacks only hit empty air.

Pant, pant, pant. Janine was now having a hard time breathing as if she was utterly tired. But was it because she used too much energy from the attacks she made? Of course, not. She was now having a hard time gasping for air only because of the frustration that was growing within her every time her attack missed.

Not only that, but it also appeared that this lunatic was enjoying what was happening as her annoying smile kept appearing every time her attack failed to touch the other party. And this only made Janine even more frustrated.

Sigh.

Meanwhile, Jim who was watching from a distance lamented the stupidity of Janine. Why was she trying so hard to attack that girl despite knowing that there was a hair entangling her making her be transported again and again? Couldn't she think of removing that hair first before making a move?

"Let's help her," In the end, Jim couldn't stand watching anymore as he told Ben that they should make a move now.

It was just that Jim felt like it was a bit humiliating when it needed the three of them just to fight a single person. Was the disparity of strength between X-rank Hunters really this huge? Just who in the world was this girl for real and where did she come from?

When Jim came to think of it, he suddenly recalled that this girl was a bit familiar for them. But no matter how hard he racked his brain, he just couldn't remember exactly anything about her at all.

"Alright," On the other hand, Ben didn't complain as he agreed with Jim. Although he was angry at Janine, it didn't change the fact that he too was angry at that lunatic.

With that being said, Ben intended to rush towards Janine. He was planning to cut that tiny hair connected to Janine so that he could free her already.

"Be careful," But before he could have a step forward, he heard Jim speaking from the side.

Ben glanced at Jim for a moment as he nodded his head. After which, he rushed towards Janine's direction. Ben knew full well that he really needed to be careful when facing that girl. Especially when dealing with her invisible hair that was difficult to detect even with his ability to feel everything in a certain range.

On the other hand, Jim watched the back of the rapidly leaving Ben. He then sent the Blood Minion he created a while ago to come and follow him again.

But to his shock, he found Ben who was about to save Janine, being blocked by that Janine instead. With her confused expression, Janine greeted the incoming Ben with her fist.

At that moment, Jim already realized what had just happened. He was more than sure that Janine was being controlled again. And of course, Ben knew this fact as well. 

It was just fortunate that Ben reacted quickly. He swiftly dodged the incoming fist as he swung his dagger one time against Janine before countless slashes surrounded her. Some of them had even scratched Janine's body as if Ben did it on purpose.

Even so, Janine felt that she had been freed from the hair binding her because of what Ben had done to her. She then grinned and then turned around to face that lunatic. Her eyes flashed in cold glint as killing intent was even being released from her.

After which was done, she immediately rushed towards Elaine's direction to have her revenge already. She didn't even care now about the slashes that scratched her body. She was just planning to just vent all her frustration to this girl.

"Oh?" Elaine, on the other hand, was a bit surprised seeing that Janine was being freed from her bind. Not only that, this girl was actually rushing at her like some kind of hungry beast as if only by eating her whole could satisfy the other party.

Elaine could only feel delighted after seeing this. Her body was even itching to toy with this Janine once again.

But then, never did she think that something unexpected would happen in the most critical moment.

When Elaine was about to do some kind of tricks to counter the approaching Janine, she suddenly felt that her body was refusing to move. Not only that, but she also could feel that something like an eye of a supreme being was gazing at her from behind. Her cold sweats had even appeared on her forehead as she couldn't do anything but watch the incoming Janine.

Fear. Was she frightened? Elaine suddenly thought about it. In her life, she only feared one person. And that was her father.

But now, she was actually frightened? Was this because of this girl? No, Elaine was more than sure that it wasn't because of Janine that caused her to be frightened like this.

At that moment, Elaine instinctively shifted her gaze to Jim who was a distance away from her as she found the other party gazing at her as well. She saw the beautiful right eye of Jim as Elaine could only smile, "So that's the case."

But then, Janine who was rushing at her had finally closed her distance on her. And right after that, Janine had immediately thrown out a punch afraid that the other party would escape.

This time, she would definitely have her revenge!

Crash!

And finally, Janine landed a hit. Her fist had mercilessly crashed the other party's stomach as she sent her flying leaving only the blood that came out from her mouth.

Elaine rolled on the ground. But it wasn't too long before her back crashed in a certain blue tree that immediately halted her rolling. And when she bumped on this blue tree, she spurted another mouthful of blood before she fell on the ground with a heavy thud with her face facing the ground.
