Chapter 894:
Despite his growing fascination, he held back from rushing to her aid. Curiosity consumed him as he wondered about her true combat capabilities, since her confidence suggested considerable skill.
Meanwhile, Elliana launched herself at the pair in black trench coats without hesitation.
The pair refused to stand idle as targets for her assault, dodging with practiced ease before launching their own fierce counterattacks. The black-clad figures behind them immediately joined the fray, transforming the confrontation into a brutal, chaotic battle.
Cole observed the scene with intense focus, prepared to intervene the moment Lilah showed any signs of being overwhelmed.
Her combat prowess exceeded every expectation he had harbored. She flowed between seventeen opponents with fluid grace, evading their punches and kicks like water slipping through desperate fingers.
Given the sheer number of enemies—all elite assassins, particularly the dangerous pair in black trench coats—Elliana could not hope to defeat them all quickly. This would demand time and endurance.
Elliana’s unexpected skill level stunned not only Cole but also the pair in black trench coats. They had approached this as a simple elimination, confident that overwhelming numbers would guarantee swift victory. Yet even with their substantial backup, they found themselves unable to gain any meaningful advantage.
One by one, the black-clad figures crumpled under Elliana’s relentless assault, and the woman in the black trench coat felt panic creeping into her chest. After a calculated pivot, she yanked a razor-sharp dagger from her waist and drove forward, aiming directly for Elliana’s heart.
Danger screamed through Elliana’s instincts, and her eyes flashed with cold steel as she threw herself backward. The woman’s blade whistled past her skin by mere inches.

The man in the black trench coat glanced at his female counterpart, unable to suppress his observation. “Don’t you think this crosses the line into shameless territory?” So many skilled fighters had failed to bring down one young woman, and now they were resorting to weapons?
The woman’s response crackled with impatience. “Would you rather preserve your precious pride, or would you prefer to complete this mission successfully?” The man’s protests died in his throat. He drew his own dagger from his waist with swift efficiency, moving to join the woman in her coordinated attack against Elliana.
At first, it was nothing more than a straightforward fistfight. The man and the woman were clearly outclassed by Lilah, even when they worked together as a team. Cole had been perfectly satisfied to stay back and watch Lilah handle the situation alone.
But everything changed in a heartbeat. Both attackers suddenly drew gleaming daggers from their coats and launched themselves at Lilah in a perfectly timed assault. The moment Cole saw the deadly flash of steel aimed at her, he couldn’t stay on the sidelines any longer. Raw fear for her safety drove him forward, and he threw himself into the fight beside her.
Elliana and Cole, as Death Thorn and Blaze Wraith, were both elite operatives trained in Delta’s most demanding programs. Beyond their individual skills, there was an invisible connection between them—a deep understanding born from shared battles and mutual trust. When they fought as a unit, their combined power was absolutely devastating. It was a force their enemies had clearly never expected to face.
