The woman who suddenly appeared was none other than the landlady!

The moment she showed up, several Samsaras turned pale and screamed in fright. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Help Shura, help us!!"

Before entering this dungeon, they had studied various strategies and information about the Pig Sty Alley masters. Some even memorized the portraits of the landlord and landlady that circulated online.

The landlady’s appearance was so unique and iconic that there was no mistaking her.

"AHHH!!!"

A thunderous Lion’s Roar!

The powerful sonic waves swept across the area like a storm, shaking the ground and blowing the Samsaras back as if a tornado had struck.

The landlady’s Lion’s Roar was far more terrifying than the two assassins zither technique he’d seen before.

If she had a megaphone, even Fire Cloud wouldn’t be able to endure it!

Naturally, the Samsaras stood no chance.

Fenric moved instantly.

In a single step, he blinked forward, positioning himself in front of the Samsaras. At the same time, he unleashed his Telekinesis to shield them.

These Samsaras were fighting under his orders—he wouldn’t let them get obliterated here.

"Hm?"

The next moment, Fenric was mildly surprised.

His mental energy, which could shatter heavy objects with ease, wasn’t enough to fully block the landlady’s sonic roar. He had to push harder, pouring out his strength to barely suppress the incoming shockwave.

"Lion’s Roar, huh? Not bad... not bad at all," Fenric murmured in admiration.

His mental attributes had already exceeded 500 points. For her sonic technique to rival his mental force meant this woman’s power was far from ordinary.

"Thank you, Boss Shura!"

"Thank you for saving us!"

The Samsaras, hiding behind him, expressed their gratitude.

Fenric waved a hand without turning. "Fall back."

A master of the landlady’s caliber was far beyond what these Samsaras could handle.

The group obediently retreated, relief flooding their faces.

"Who are you?"

The landlady’s sharp gaze fell on Fenric, astonished that someone could block her Lion’s Roar head-on.

"Me?" Fenric smiled. "I’m the leader of the Axe Gang."

"..."

The landlady’s expression turned serious, losing her usual shrewish tone.

"When did a master like you appear in the martial world? I’ve never heard of you!"

"It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of me," Fenric replied with a faint smile. "What matters is that you don’t meddle in things you shouldn’t."

Then, casually, he added, "Landlady, hand over those three behind you. I’ll give you some face—and maybe lower the rent here in the future."

The landlady lit a cigarette, blowing out a lazy puff of smoke.

"And if I refuse?"

"Then I’ll have to take them myself," Fenric said lightly. "My fists are heavy—try not to get beaten to death. And as for you, landlord, how much longer are you going to pretend to be dead? Do you really think your wife can handle me alone?"

His last remark was directed toward the landlord, who was still pretending to be unconscious on the ground.

"Ugh..."

The landlord sighed and slowly got up, walking over to stand beside his wife.

"Why must you always stir trouble?" he muttered. "You’ve provoked a monster this time. How are we supposed to live after this?"

"They’re our neighbors—should I just let them die?" the landlady snapped back.

"Forget it... after today, let’s move," the landlord muttered bitterly.

Fenric’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"You two should focus on surviving me first."

Before they could react, Fenric struck.

His right hand clenched into a fist as he stood his ground, gathering power. At the same time, his mental energy surged forward, pulling the landlord toward him like an invisible hand.

"!!"

The landlord’s expression changed instantly. Realizing Fenric wasn’t to be underestimated, he used his ultimate technique on the spot—

Tai Chi!

Whoosh!

Fenric’s fist cut through the air like a cannonball.

Before it could land, the landlord’s left hand gently diverted the force with a subtle pull and twist—

Tai Chi—Four Ounces to Move a Thousand Pounds!

"Interesting," Fenric said with a faint smile before unleashing a flurry of strikes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three punches landed in just 0.3 seconds!

The landlord’s face paled—he couldn’t keep up with this speed!

Puff!

A heavy impact rang out as Fenric’s fist connected. The landlord was sent flying, coughing blood as he crashed to the ground.

Fenric’s punches were no joke.

Even the Fire Cloud couldn’t match Fenric’s raw strength.

Although Fenric’s rapid strikes were slightly weaker than his full-power blows, they were still devastating.

That the landlord only coughed blood instead of being killed outright was remarkable.

The landlady rushed over, helping her husband up.

"Be careful of his fists—this guy has monstrous strength!" the landlord warned.

Fenric nearly rolled his eyes.

First the Fire Cloud called me naturally gifted... now this guy too? Is great strength always labeled as divine power?

"This man is a real master," the landlord muttered.

"Let’s go together!"

The Condor Heroes couple—landlord and landlady—charged at Fenric in unison.

Very soon, they realized just how foolish close combat against Fenric was.

His combination of overwhelming strength and Armament Haki made him nearly untouchable.

Unless they had a way to pierce his defenses, no amount of hits would work.

On the other hand, a single touch from Fenric was enough to make them suffer.

Worse, his Telekinesis disrupted their movements, giving him a clear advantage.

BOOM—! BOOM—!

Within moments, both landlord and landlady were sent flying, coughing blood.

They looked at Fenric with shock and disbelief.

"Who... who are you really?" the landlady asked, shaken.

"Even the Fire Cloud wasn’t this strong," the landlord added grimly.

"Fire Cloud?"

Fenric smirked. "He nearly died at my hands last time. He’s living under my roof now, hoping to learn from me."

He paused, then added, "If you two have time, feel free to visit. I’m sure he’d love the company."
