Chapter 219: The Hooded Girl of Hybrid Mountain Stronghold

Kazuichi wiped the sweat from his brow, gasping for breath amidst the wreckage of Sector 12. Bodies of Omega Zombies and Aberrants lay strewn around him, their once fearsome forms now lifeless. The battle had been grueling, but his newfound power had given him the edge needed to prevail. He glanced down at his hand, where the orb of water still floated, shimmering with an ethereal glow. Clenching his fist, he watched the water dissipate into droplets that fell to the ground.

"Guess I'm getting the hang of this…" Kazuichi muttered, a mix of exhaustion and satisfaction in his voice.

As he bent down to collect the meteorite ores from the fallen zombies, something caught his attention—a shadowy figure in the distance. Narrowing his eyes, he recognized the same hooded girl he had seen before. Standing on a hill, she watched him intently. The memory of her previous appearance sent a shiver down his spine. Who was she? And why did she seem so interested in him?
