The Red Lotus Lounge (11)

While all that was happening, Erik was still locked in a fight with the woman, Mia. However, something was happening at the same time.

Since he was in the radius, as each person died, Erik gained experience since the system absorbed their mana. Until now, four people died between parents and thugs, and he gained another level.

As he and the woman named Mia traded blows, Erik observed her trying to find any weakness he could exploit. She was a tall and athletic woman with short, curly brown hair.

She had piercing blue eyes that seemed to gleam with a competitive fire and a strong jawline that suggested she was not one to shy away from training.

Her muscular arms and toned legs hinted at the hours she must have spent training and working out, and she had several tattoos covering her arms.

The woman was currently wearing a tight black tank top and matching pants, and she used a very aggressive and unpredictable fighting style with quick slashes and bizarre footwork.
