It was only her head on the coin, but it had been delicately crafted . And simmering beneath the surface of that innocent image was an untold power .
And startlingly, the face was familiar to Han Sen . He knew of a person who's face looked exactly like the one on the coin . It took a while for him to remember her image, due to him having only seen this woman once .
When the Empty Witch ascended to the Third God's Sanctuary, a spirit escorted her through the door that manifested in the air .
Han Sen's remembrance of that spirit's face was a little woozy . A lot had been going on when he saw her, and it was a very long time ago . So, even though his memory of it was fuzzy at first, it was now coming back to him .
Staring at the coin intently, Han Sen couldn't shake the feeling that it really was her . The resemblance, at least, was uncanny .
She had also left the mark of a lotus on Han Sen's forehead, but it was destroyed by Dragon King . Dragon King told Han Sen that he had been marked by the Lotus Empress .
"This must be her . It has to be! It has to be the Lotus Empress!" Han Sen was firm in this belief . He wasn't one hundred percent sure, but he couldn't think of anyone else it could have looked like .
Han Sen looked around, wondering if there was anything else worth taking, but there wasn't .
Proper currency was worthless in the sanctuary, so coins must have been forged by the Alliance . But the hardest material in the Alliance was z-steel alloy, and it wasn't as sturdy as the material used to craft the coin .
The coin had been retrieved by the creature from below the earth, so it was also quite puzzling why it had been buried in the soil of such a random location .
Han Sen had been rattled by this discovery, and it made him a whole lot more curious about the creature that had initially collected the coin . But alas, Han Sen had been lost in thought for some time, and he hadn't paid attention to how long he had been down there .
Han Sen was afraid the little creature could show up any second .
He went over to hide beneath the garbage . There was a mighty shield amidst the junk, and it was perfect for him to hide behind . He masked his scent and clutched Taia tightly .
Han Sen was planning to wait until the creature returned, and when it did, assassinate it .
It was a super creature, and if he was able to instkill it through assassination and forego the need for a drawn-out fight, that'd be a mighty swell thing indeed .
It wasn't long until Han Sen started to hear sounds coming from further up the cave . They were the sounds of the creature, on its way back down as predicted .
Han Sen made sure his scent was hidden . Then, he went into a state of focus, ensuring the hand that held the sword was firm but relaxed and ready to strike .
Han Sen made sure his scent was hidden . Then, he went into a state of focus, ensuring the hand that held the sword was firm but relaxed and ready to strike .
To perform the strongest assassination strike, your body had to be relaxed . It was something he had practiced extensively during his time in the First God's Sanctuary . He was very proficient in the ways of the assassin .
Not too much later, Han Sen felt the little creature approach .
He could sense something scraping against the ground, and this made Han Sen think the creature was bringing a bigger item along with it .
Han Sen did not very much care what the little blighter was carrying with him; he just remained focused, preparing to strike . And the closer the creature got, the more relaxed Han Sen became .
A noise rung out, sounding like the creature had chucked the latest scrap of junk onto the garbage pile .
Han Sen could see every movement and motion made by the creature, all through his mind's eye . He could sense it all without the need for his true naked eyes .
When the item landed on the heap, that was the time for him to strike . And so he did; Han Sen leaped out from behind the shield with Taia, ready to plunge Taia deep into the witless super creature that was none-the-wiser .
His heart and kidneys pumped fast, as his entire body began to glow red .
Han Sen knew he was performing the perfect strike, as expected . Nine gene locks of the Blood-Pulse Sutra and Taia made for a lethal combination . Super creatures would do well to fear such a combo .

The creature turned around, but Han Sen still had his eye on the prize . Being so fast and so accurate, he thought he had ticked all the boxes, and he was more than ready to see Taia plunge through the creature's throat . There was no chance the creature could react in time .
Dong!
The sword was aiming for the neck with pinpoint accuracy, but before a connection was made, the scales of the creature lit up with a bright green light .
An aura of light suddenly enveloped the little beast, as if it was encased in a tight bubble of impenetrable protection . The creature was sent flying, but it was dealt no harm . The creature escaped the assassination attempt unscathed .
"A super creature with defensive powers, huh?" Han Sen was quite shocked . But while the creature was still airborne, Han Sen drew his Phoenix Sword .
Dong!
The Phoenix Sword was incapable of penetrating the creature's green shield .
"Die!" Han Sen used all his power to repeatedly strike the creature, keeping it airborne amidst a flurry of hits .
The Phoenix Sword and Taia beat against the shield non-stop .

The Phoenix Sword and Taia beat against the shield non-stop .
The shield looked like a balloon under fire, as if it'd break any second .
Boom!
Han Sen batted the creature into a wall, and before it could recover, pounced on the creature like a madman . With another barrage of strikes, Han Sen went to town on the creature .
"I don't need super king spirit mode to kill a super creature!" Han Sen was insanely excited .
"Die!" Han Sen was shouting as he slashed, and eventually, the green bubble shield shattered into a faint haze of dust .
Without the shield, the creature was naked and helpless . It was like a little lamb, prepared for slaughter .
But before Han Sen slew the creature, he froze in place .
"Aw, I was just playing games with you . " Han Sen suddenly looked incredibly kind and gentle, and he brought his hand down to stroke the creature .
Han Sen slowly turned around, and that was when he saw a number of giant creatures behind him . They all stared at Han Sen with menacing eyes .
