章 109: Hobe vs Alina

The virtual arena pulsed with the aftermath of their clash.

Kate staggered momentarily before regaining her footing. Yet, before she could fully stabilize, Hobe unleashed another assault. His blood-streaked face betrayed an unrelenting determination.

His hand closed around Kate's shoulder, forcing her to stoop as his knee aimed to strike her face.

Kate, fueled by an escalating sense of crisis, swiftly shifted her head to evade some of the impact from Hobe's knee.

Without granting Hobe the chance to utilize his knee for a more precise attack, Kate's hands swiftly encircled his waist.

In a powerful display of strength, Kate hoisted Hobe's body and slammed him to the ground.

Oddly, Hobe remained silent, devoid of any groans, as if the impact to his back was inconsequential compared to the pain he felt when Kate's knee struck his face.
