CREEEEAK!
As Serin's body spun, weaving destructive moonlight, the Crescent-Moon Weight began to bend at a bizarre angle as well.
Clang!
The Crescent-Moon Weight, which had been tracing a massive full moon, met the Phoenix Arrow radiating brilliant light, and the two collided in a burst of dazzling light, destroying each other.
The Crescent-Moon Weight, knocked far back, and the arrow, its light extinguished, fell limply to the ground.
The Outlaw watching that result—
Gray Arrow—caught sight of a violet spear that had already reached directly behind Rin.
'Even if she blocks the Phoenix Arrow, there's no way out.'
He had never expected a skill straightforwardly unleashed from the front to work on Rin.
Instead, he believed the violet spear now surging from behind her would land.
The Outlaw targeting Rin alongside him was someone he could trust.
True to the nickname Spear That Stabs to Death, he was a renowned Outlaw even among Javelin Thrower Class players.
If he hadn't accepted this commission, Gray Arrow himself would never have accepted this absurd commission against Rin either.
Spear That Stabs to Death, the Outlaw, felt the same way as Gray Arrow.
The moment the Javelin Thrower took in the state of the battle and looked on with an air of victory—
—Moon Kick.
Regardless of the Crescent-Moon Weight being knocked away, moonlight gathered around her spinning body.
'What an absurd move....'
Because ranged javelin attacks had a delay between one attack and the next, the power of a javelin was overwhelmingly higher than that of a basic Spearman.
Rin seemed to be trying to meet his javelin head-on with an ordinary skill, but that was truly the height of complacency......
BOOOOM!
"...!"
"What the..."
Gray Arrow and Spear That Stabs to Death could only recoil in shock at the unbelievable sight that flashed before them.
The spear that had been flying as if to pierce through Rin—the instant it touched her snow-white leg, it had burst with a thunderous sound and shot high into the air.
That sight was definitely not a parry.
The sound alone made it clear this had been a clash of raw skill power.
The surreal sight of a massive long spear being pushed back by the delicate kick of a slender dancer and bouncing away uselessly was something the Outlaws could not believe even after seeing it with their own eyes.
Tap.
Having knocked the spear away, the dancer's snow-white leg touched down leisurely on the ground.
The Javelin Thrower, his expression urgent, grasped at the air, and a spear materialized in his hand again. Gray Arrow likewise swiftly drew an arrow and nocked it to his bowstring.
WHIRR!
Serin straightened her stance and quickly retrieved the Crescent-Moon Weight.
"Surely you weren't planning to end it with just this much?"
Serin murmured lightly and looked at them with composure.
Her stance, not moving to attack, looked like she was taking it easy—and in truth, Serin was feeling at ease right now.
Grip.
Lightly gripping the Crescent-Moon Weight, Serin could keenly feel the immense power welling up through her entire body.
'An absurd amplification value.'
Now that she had used Moonlit Night for the first time, it felt as though she had belatedly opened her eyes to a new world.
Because another additional effect positioned at the edge of her vision was exerting an enormous influence.

The Moon Dancer is under the influence of the full moon.
All stats increase by 10%.

With the full moon shining down on her now, she was receiving an unexpected additional effect, making it all too easy to respond.
The 200% bonus damage effect from the full moon, the unique effect of the Mythic Crescent-Moon Weight Moonlight, was an option on a truly absurd level.
'So that was an illusion.'
Now receiving multiple amplifications of various powers along with her Awakening Skill, she was realizing one fact.
Final Performance, the original Dancer Awakening Skill she had believed had brought her to her prime—that had merely been an illusion.
She had been deceived by the sense of omnipotence that surged up the moment she used Final Performance.
Because now, with truly absurd power swirling through her entire body, she could feel power on a completely different dimension.
Even while lost in thought and watching the Outlaws, she couldn't help but let out a laugh at the sight of them not attacking.
"You call yourselves Outlaws, yet you run around in a pack. Can't even act like Outlaws on your own, huh?"
As the Crescent-Moon Weight, brimming with immense moonlight, swept lightly through the surroundings—
THOOOM!
The ground simply collapsed in on itself, flaunting the overflowing power.
At the sight of her displaying destructive force equal to a skill with a simple swing, the two Outlaws, who had been watching with utmost tension, hardened their expressions.
"..."
"..."
After exchanging glances for a split second, they kicked off the ground without hesitation.
Gray Arrow put as much distance between himself and Rin as possible and suddenly aimed his gray longbow toward the full-moon sky,
while Spear That Stabs to Death launched himself high into the air by kicking off a tree branch where he had been positioned.
Even at their peculiar actions, Serin only watched and did not move first.
'So this is Daji's power.'
Starting with the sense of omnipotence she felt now, her understanding of this power was gradually beginning to take shape.
Daji's attitude when facing me, her gestures, even the small hand movements that seemed to sit atop her arrogant way of speaking.
Why had she been so composed?
Daji's figure, nobly guarding her place, only now truly resonated with her.
Because there had been no need.
She felt that if Daji were here, she would surely have acted just as she had back then.
Even looking at the two Outlaws now, she felt no sense of crisis.
Rather, it was like fireflies flaunting their light before a giant sun—only absurdity welled up within her.
Clench.
Just by tightening my grip on the Crescent-Moon Weight, I even felt as though this space itself belonged to me.
When she leisurely took them in again, her gaze was drawn to the peculiar stances they were taking.
WHOOOOM!
A massive gray arrow on the longbow's string emitted an ominous light as it accumulated power, while the Javelin Thrower, having launched himself high into the night sky, pulled his spear back to its limit and began radiating an intense violet light.
[Aren't those guys seriously insane]
[Is Rin just gonna watch that??]
[No but shouldn't she take out at least one of them fast]
[Those Outlaw bastards have no shame lol]
[Is Rin really just standing still?]
[What's with Rin acting so relaxed right now]
[Is this okay...?]
[That looks way too dangerous]
Looking at the chat window, she let out a small laugh and said something she didn't mean at all.
"You're right. It does look dangerous."
Not all holograms were being displayed on the stream right now.
Some of the effects I could see were probably being omitted from the broadcast, so I understood why the viewers were worrying like that.
But even while watching the precursors of the two Outlaws' Awakening Skills, I felt at ease.
'With the full moon shining now, even 2-on-1 is more than possible.'
......
"Quite full of yourself...?"
"Let's see how long you can keep that up."
And because of Rin showing such composure, the two Outlaws preparing their Awakening Skills couldn't help but furrow their brows.
No matter how unexpectedly powerful Rin was, that relaxed attitude bordered on insufferable arrogance.
No matter how many Outlaws she had defeated so far, giving them time to openly use their Awakening Skills was absurd.
To Outlaws who played Another World as objects of terror to ordinary users, Rin's very demeanor was deeply irritating.
And so, after a brief moment passed—
CREEEEAK!
Feeling that enough power had accumulated in the arrow, Gray Arrow released the bowstring toward the sky.
WHOOSH!
The instant he released the string, a massive shockwave erupted from him and swept violently through the space itself, and the gray arrow soared high into the sky, scattering its light intensely.
—Gray Arrow.
The arrow suddenly vanished from the air without a trace.
And at that moment, the Javelin Thrower also unleashed his Awakening Skill.
Still suspended high in the air, he pulled his spear-arm back with all his strength and then thrust it forward like a flash of light.
—Invisible Demonic Spear.
The instant the violet-glowing spear was thrust forward—
BANG!
A thunderous roar like a cannon firing rang out, and the violet spear erased its form in an instant.
The spear, now transformed into a colorless form that had completely vanished from the air, wove strangely through the space, creating transparent ripples.
"Every single one of these skills is disgusting..."
Watching the two Outlaws' Awakening Skills unfold almost simultaneously, Serin let out a deep sneer.
It wasn't just that they possessed powerful force—each one erased its form, and she immediately realized that from a user's perspective, they would not be easy to deal with.
She didn't like the idea of people playing as Outlaws with such dirty skills.
SHIMMER...!
Watching the violently rippling transparent space, Serin did not hesitate to act.
Both Outlaws were ranged classes.
With that premise alone, the means to counter their skills already existed in Serin's mind.
She suddenly hurled the Crescent-Moon Weight high into the sky.
——!
As the Crescent-Moon Weight, brimming with moonlight, rose into the night sky like a single beam of light, a vast moonlight dyed the Crescent-Moon Weight brightly.
—Moonlit Mirror of All Under Heaven.
The brilliant moonlight pouring from the Crescent-Moon Weight, now soaring high in the air, erased every light in the world in an instant.
Standing with quiet dignity, Serin bathed in the brilliant moonlight and gazed across the space.
CRACKLE-CRACKLE!
As if some enormous thing were burning away, a repulsive reaction manifested, revealing the massive arrow and the violet spear.
Even beneath the Moonlit Mirror of All Under Heaven, they had not lost their color, and they fiercely radiated light and pushed back as if blocked by a wall.
Even the Moonlit Mirror of All Under Heaven seemed to be barely holding back the Awakening Skills of two classes.
"Our Awakening Skills are being blocked...?"
"What... this is insane."
As the two Outlaws stared at the sight with faces drained of color, Serin kicked off the ground.
BOOM!
With a single leap that carved a crater into the ground like a bombing strike, Serin appeared in front of Gray Arrow.
Even while the Moonlit Mirror of All Under Heaven was fiercely pushing back, and even though she could not use skills, her leg extended swiftly, perfectly recreating the form of Single Kick.
'...'
Gray Arrow recoiled in shock and belatedly tried to draw his bowstring, but—
BOOM!
Serin stomped down on his head and slammed him into the ground in one blow, and the Outlaw futilely turned into light and vanished.
Ding! Ding!

[You have slain the notorious Outlaw 'Gray Arrow' and gained a massive amount of Experience!]
*You extort 3 times the tracking cost from the Outlaw who was tracking you!
【90 Million Silver Coins Acquired!!】

A split second later, the Crescent-Moon Weight that had been maintaining the Moonlit Mirror of All Under Heaven fell to the ground as if its power had been exhausted.
——!
The spear, its power undiminished, turned transparent once more and shot toward her, but she turned around with composure.
"...!"
At that greedy gaze, the Outlaw flinched and trembled.
