【Bloodline is a Thug Chapter 112】

112. The Sanchez Family (2)

It was like a scene from mythology itself.
Each time the muscular woman moved, the earth fractured and the air resonated with power.
Her opponent was equally extraordinary.
Whenever the woman in the black suit swept her hand through empty space, reality twisted and warped.
“Yes! This is it!”
The muscular woman cried out in exultation.
“I’ve been waiting for a fight like this! Only you can give me this battle!”
Maria Sanchez, the muscular woman, charged forward with a cry like someone half-mad.
Joo Ha-yeon’s hands moved frantically, her magical power depleting in an instant.
“Hm.”
Gravity intensified, seizing Maria Sanchez’s body.
“Ugh!”
The force was so tremendous that Maria Sanchez struggled to break free.
Joo Ha-yeon unleashed another spell. A colossal spear materialized in the sky.
The gravity binding Maria Sanchez pulled the spear downward. It fell at tremendous speed, piercing straight through her.
But just before the spear could penetrate, Maria Sanchez caught it with her bare hand. She halted it through sheer grip strength alone, then shattered it with her bare grip.
“Raaaagh!”
Maria Sanchez then raised her foot and drove it into the ground. Both earth and magic shattered simultaneously. The gravity suppressing her vanished instantly.
“I was worried since I haven’t been active for so long. But your strength hasn’t deteriorated at all.”
Maria Sanchez spoke with evident delight. Joo Ha-yeon merely frowned.
True to Maria Sanchez’s words, my strength hadn’t declined. But it hadn’t improved either.
Maria Sanchez, however, had improved.
Far more than when we last fought.
It was only natural, really. Maria Sanchez was no ordinary person.
A genius who appeared once every hundred years, if that.
She possessed such remarkable talent that even the Sanchez Family treasured her.
“But if you keep fighting so tepidly like this, it’ll be difficult to save Kwon Han-ul. Not just him either—the other bloodline members will be helpless too.”
Maria Sanchez spoke in a provocative tone. Inciting her opponent this way to intensify the battle was one of her habits.
But contrary to Maria Sanchez’s intention, Joo Ha-yeon merely smiled enigmatically.
“Maria Sanchez. Do you truly believe the Sanchez bloodline you’ve brought can kill them?”
“Of course.”
Maria Sanchez answered without a moment’s hesitation.
“There’s no need to bother discussing the difference in strength. The young upstarts from Heukcheon who came with you are merely unknowns without even a name to their credit.”
In contrast, those Maria Sanchez had brought were individuals with a fearsome reputation across the world.
“Even if I died and came back to life, I could never win against….”
In that instant, Maria Sanchez’s words caught in her throat. She glanced around with a bewildered expression.
The aura of the Sanchez Family bloodline members that had been radiating from all directions suddenly diminished.
There was only one possible meaning to this phenomenon.
“…Could it be.”
Joo Ha-yeon’s lips curved into a faint smile.

* * *

A wide asphalt road stretched out before them.
In the middle of it lay a crater—peculiarly neat and uniform, as if stamped out by a mold.
“Whoosh!”
Someone’s head emerged from within. A young man with a small frame and an exceptionally frail appearance.
“Phew, that was close. Almost ended badly.”
Kwon Hu-don patted his chest as he spoke.
He had barely managed to shield himself using the Black Scale Armor before impact. Thanks to that, he survived the collision with the ground unscathed.
“A-are the others alright?”
Kwon Hu-don’s first concern was for his companions. They were all stronger than him, so they should be fine. Yet worry was inevitable.
Honk!
A car horn blared. It was the sound of vehicles that couldn’t proceed because of Kwon Hu-don.
Only after hearing that did Kwon Hu-don realize he had fallen onto the road.
“S-sorry! My apologies!”
Kwon Hu-don hurriedly tried to get off the road.
In that moment, the vehicles that had been blocked crumpled like paper. Blood sprayed from the twisted metal.
Screams erupted immediately after. The peaceful road transformed into chaos in an instant.
“W-what?”
Startled by the sudden turn of events, Kwon Hu-don stared at the crushed vehicles.
A slender woman stood atop the wreckage.
“Y-you’re from the Heukcheon Bloodline, aren’t you?”
The woman asked Kwon Hu-don. Her tone was extremely uncertain.
“I-I’m from the Sanchez Family. I’m s-supposed to kill you, but… naturally you won’t cooperate willingly, right?”
Recognizing the familiar voice, Kwon Hu-don found himself responding without thinking.
“…Larissa?”
It was a voice similar to that woman he’d met at the Underground Arena.
At Kwon Hu-don’s question, the woman tilted her head.
“Could it be… Hu?”
“Y-yes! It’s me!”
Kwon Hu-don cried out with delight. The woman, Larissa, showed the same reaction.
“I had no idea you were from the Heukcheon Bloodline! I heard there was someone named Kwon Hu-don among the Heukcheon Bloodline members. So that’s why you introduced yourself as Hu?”
“Y-yes, that’s right.”
Kwon Hu-don spoke with an embarrassed expression. Larissa clapped her hands in delight.
“I was so disappointed we couldn’t finish that match back then. To think we’d meet again like this. It truly feels like fate!”
At the word “match,” Kwon Hu-don’s face stiffened slightly.
In his joy, he’d momentarily forgotten. That day, in the Underground Arena, Larissa had wanted to fight Kwon Hu-don, but for some reason, she’d been forced to back down.
“…Are you saying you want to fight me, Larissa?”
“Of course! I’ve been wanting to have a proper match with you, Kwon Hu-don!”
Larissa Sanchez was still smiling.
But her eyes gleamed with killing intent.
“Besides, you’re from Heukcheon and I’m from the Sanchez Family. Isn’t that reason enough for us to fight?”
“B-but…”
Kwon Hu-don opened his mouth with hesitation written all over his face. Then, another voice cut in.
“Police! Hands up!”
Police officers in uniform had surrounded the two of them.
“Make even the slightest wrong move and we’ll kill you on the spot!”
Notably, the officers carried blades and spears instead of guns.
They weren’t ordinary police—they were Hunters serving as law enforcement.
“State your names and where you’re from immediately—”
The officer’s voice cut off abruptly. His face had gone deathly pale.
“…L-Larissa Sanchez?”
Those words hit like a bomb.
The officers beside him and the civilians watching from nearby all froze in terror.
“It’s the Third Hand, Larissa Sanchez!”
“R-run for it now!”
The officers threw down their weapons and fled. The civilians scattered in all directions.
At this dramatic turn of events, Kwon Hu-don felt nothing but bewilderment.
“Now that the spectators are gone…”
Larissa Sanchez raised both fists to face level, keeping her eyes aligned with them.
Her stance was narrow, her body angled slightly.
She looked like a boxer.
“Stay sharp. I won’t let this fight end in disappointment.”
Larissa Sanchez bent her waist and charged forward. She closed the distance in an instant.
Larissa Sanchez’s hands became a blur.
Kwon Hu-don reflexively deployed the Black Scale Armor to protect himself. His body moved before his mind could react.
Dozens of punches hammered against the Black Scale Armor. It shattered like glass.
In moments, Kwon Hu-don stood defenseless. Larissa Sanchez swung her fist horizontally, aiming to shatter his jaw.
At that instant, Kwon Hu-don’s body moved. As if pushed by an invisible force, he lunged toward Larissa Sanchez.
Undefeated Armor—Undefeated Cavern Technique
Kwon Hu-don’s shoulder drove into Larissa Sanchez’s torso. The unexpected impact threw her balance off.
Seizing the opening, Kwon Han-ul extended both fists.
Undefeated Armor—Ten Thousand Breaking Fist
A fist wrapped in black scales struck Larissa Sanchez’s abdomen with brutal force.
“Cough!”
It was a merciless attack, hard to believe coming from someone who had hesitated mere moments before. Larissa Sanchez flew backward, blood spilling from her lips.
Kwon Hu-don watched her with a conflicted expression.
“I don’t want to do this… but I have no choice.”
Kwon Hu-don’s voice still trembled. Yet his movements betrayed no hesitation.
He conjured vast quantities of black scales, wrapping them around his body. A towering figure of darkness loomed over Larissa Sanchez.
Faced with such overwhelming presence, Larissa Sanchez found herself swallowing involuntarily.
—Larissa Sanchez.
The dark giant raised its arm.
—The price for touching Heukcheon is steep.
A fist like a sledgehammer came crashing down upon Larissa Sanchez.

“Ha, so such coincidences do exist in this world.”
At that same moment, Mei Hong stood facing a woman.
She was massively built, her entire frame covered in thick, gnarled muscles like tree roots.
Her muscles were no mere façade—the woman wielded a greatsword nearly ten meters in length.
“So you were the one I fought in the Underground Arena.”
“I find it surprising as well.”
Mei Hong gripped her longsword as she spoke.
“I never imagined we’d face each other like this.”
“That’s what makes the world interesting. Ah, right. You don’t know my name, do you?”
The woman hoisted her greatsword onto her shoulder.
“I’m Carolyna Sanchez. And you’re Mei Hong, right? The traitor of the Mei Family.”
“Could you skip that last part? It’s rather unpleasant.”
“Fair enough. ‘Traitor’ isn’t exactly a flattering title.”
Carolyna Sanchez nodded as she spoke.
“This is troubling.”
“What is?”
“Whether I should really kill you here.”
Mei Hong’s brow furrowed. What nonsense was this woman spouting?
“It’s been so long since I’ve had such an interesting encounter. Do I really need to kill you? Besides, you’re not part of the Heukcheon Bloodline anyway, so it should be fine…”
Carolyna Sanchez deliberated for a long moment.
“All right, I’ll be generous. If you run now, I’ll let you go.”
In that instant, Mei Hong drew her blade. A single arc of sword energy severed a strand of Carolyna Sanchez’s hair and vanished.
“What does that mean?”
“What do you think? Stop spouting nonsense and come at me.”
“Then you die. Understand?”
Mei Hong burst into laughter, as if finding the notion absurd.
“Surely you don’t think you can defeat me with a sword?”
Though the Mei Family had since been annihilated, they were once renowned throughout the world as geniuses of armed combat.
Even scouring the entire globe, finding a swordmaster to rival the Mei Family was nearly impossible.
“If we’re talking purely about weapon technique, I might be outmatched.”
Carolyna Sanchez admitted this fact readily enough.
“But there’s one thing you seem to be forgetting….”
Suddenly, Carolyna Sanchez raised her greatsword high and brought it crashing down in one fluid motion.
Thanks to its length exceeding ten meters, it reached Mei Hong even though Carolyna Sanchez herself hadn’t moved.
The blade of the greatsword passed beside Mei Hong’s face and struck her shoulder.
Just before severing it, the greatsword stopped.
“When people hear the name ‘Gulliver’ Carolyna Sanchez, there’s not a soul who doesn’t tremble. What about you?”
I was merely an unknown swordmaster, branded only as a traitor to the Mei Family.
“You think you can defeat me?”
Mei Hong answered not with words, but with movement.
I brought my longsword beneath the greatsword resting on my shoulder and swung it upward.
The greatsword was severed by my longsword—a motion as natural as cutting through tofu, not a weapon at all.
“How is this possible….”
In that moment of Carolyna Sanchez’s shock, Mei Hong burst forward.
Carolyna Sanchez lifted the severed greatsword again and brought it down toward Mei Hong’s crown as she charged forward.
Mei Hong didn’t hesitate. I swung my longsword repeatedly at the greatsword, and that massive blade was reduced to fragments in an instant.
Reaching Carolyna Sanchez’s face, Mei Hong drew the longsword horizontally toward her throat.
“You insolent bitch!”
In that instant, Carolyna Sanchez thrust her hand into a pocket dimension.
A hammer the size of a house emerged from the pocket dimension. Carolyna Sanchez brought it crashing down toward Mei Hong.
Cutting through this proved difficult. Mei Hong retreated backward as the hammer struck the earth with devastating force.
“Do you understand now?”
From a distance away.
Mei Hong spoke with a smile.
“You cannot defeat me.”

* * *

With a thunderous crash, the building crumbled to pieces. Two men burst through the rubble.
“After all this time, we finally meet again. Where do you think you’re running to!”
A man as massive as a bear was chasing down someone far smaller than himself.
“Gael Garsian! Fight me like a man! Stop running!”
Gael Garsian didn’t bother responding.
He knew all too well how foolish it would be to face that man head-on.
Bruno Sanchez—a mutant.
Among the Sanchez Family, whose entire bloodline possessed formidable physiques thanks to their superhuman blood, he was exceptionally durable.
The legend of him withstanding concentrated attacks from three world-ranked fighters barehanded was so renowned that even Gael Garsian knew of it.
“Got you!”
Bruno Sanchez extended both hands. Gael Garsian ducked low while pushing off the ground, slipping free from his grasp.
Bruno Sanchez glared at Gael Garsian with an irritated expression.
“Stop scurrying around like a cockroach and come at me!”
Foolish words.
He’d learned painfully from the Jose Dil Pablo encounter what happens when you recklessly charge a formidable opponent.
“Just let me catch you! I’ll twist you to death!”
Bruno Sanchez charged again. Gael Garsian tried to increase the distance between them once more.
In that instant, Bruno Sanchez kicked at the ground. Sand and gravel engulfed Gael Garsian’s face.
He hadn’t anticipated such a crude tactic, so he couldn’t evade it. Gael Garsian instinctively shut his eyes.
“Got you!”
Bruno Sanchez seized the opening and charged forward, reaching to throttle Gael Garsian’s neck.
That was when it happened.
Gael Garsian’s body moved. Eyes still closed, he swatted Bruno Sanchez’s hand away and drove his elbow into the man’s abdomen.
“Ugh?”
Bruno Sanchez grimaced. In that gap, Gael Garsian retreated backward.
“How did you move when you couldn’t even see?”
Gael Garsian removed the hood he’d been wearing. Pure white rabbit ears sprang forth.
“I relied on hearing instead of sight.”
“…This guy’s got jokes.”
“Now I have a better understanding of what kind of person you are.”
“Yeah? Finally realizing how terrifying I am?”
Bruno Sanchez grinned wickedly as he spoke.
He seemed to expect a impressive response, but Gael Garsian’s answer was the opposite.
“You’re underwhelming.”
“…What did you say?”
“I was cautious because of your notorious reputation. But you’re nowhere near Jose Dil Pablo’s level. There’s no need to fear someone like you.”
Bloodshot veins appeared in Bruno Sanchez’s eyes. Extreme rage radiated from him.
Then, Gael Garsian muttered softly.
“Mammon.”
Demonic power enveloped Gael Garsian. Bestial hide covered his body.
A tremendous force swept through the arena. Bruno Sanchez’s face gradually hardened.
“I won’t run anymore. Come at me with everything you have.”
With those words, Gael Garsian stomped the ground.
A scream pierced through the air moments later.
