Chapter 198
Chapter 199 I Want Her
Skylar had been a powerful professional of the dark forces his entire life. He was usually surrounded by countless women, yet not a single one of them ever made him feel like he could spend a lifetime with her.
But the moment he laid eyes on Joanna, he had only one thought.
He wanted her. He wanted to possess her. He wanted to be with her for life.
Skylar’s blade hovered at Joanna’s forehead. A gust of wind blew her hair, making her close her eyes in alarm. That soft, vulnerable look made people want to protect her.
He couldn’t bring himself to hurt her.
“No, I won’t kill you. You’re coming with me.” Skylar’s eyes were wild with possessiveness. He reached out, ready to grab Joanna and take her away.
But right then, the ten giant pythons sensed Joanna’s presence.
The bite mark near her collarbone, marked with the Evil God’s curse, drew every python free from the tank class fighters’ restraints. They all lunged at Joanna.
Seeing this, Joanna changed her plan.
“Disaster Redirection p>
As for who she redirected the disaster to, of course it was Skylar.
She wasn’t sure if it would work, since the Evil God’s mark was stronger than a system skill.
If it did work, then she wouldn’t have to worry about the trouble brought on by the Evil God’s Mark ever again.
To her surprise, it actually worked.
The pythons all turned on Skylar.
Skylar had no idea what was happening. He dodged left and right, but when he saw Joanna had retreated to the corner and was looking his way, he relaxed and focused on the fig

Skylar never considered that he might not survive.
1/3
With pythons attacking and bounty hunters closing in, he was running out of space.
On top of that, Nighthowl, Alwyn, and Lucien were quietly joining the fight from the shadows.
This old man really didn’t know when to quit. Did he really think they hadn’t noticed him trying to grab Joanna?
Then again, calling him old wasn’t quite right.
The three of them were probably decades, maybe centuries older than this human.
Whatever.
If he wasn’t Joanna’s bound partner and he still tried to lay a hand on her, he had to die.
Very soon, another top bounty hunter showed up.
“Restriction Decree: No substitute items allowed p>
Soon, a domain’s power settled over everyone.
It was a Lawmaker, specialized against substitute scarecrows.
Joanna had rarely encountered this class before. Seeing one now gave her chills.
Clearly, her ten substitute scarecrows weren’t enough. She’d need more revival items, more ways to stay alive.
More and more bounty hunters poured in, teaming up to kill Skylar.
The area around the teleport portal was finally cleared.
The teleport mage, Cameron, recorded the portal’s coordinates and uploaded them to the Bounty Hunter Guild.
Joanna didn’t reveal her real identity. Instead, she went through the Bounty Hunter Guild’s backend. As an S-rank bounty hunter, she requested the portal coordinates.
This was totally within reason.
The Guild quickly approved her request and sent her the coordinates as the miss….. initiator, hoping she’d organize the next operation.
But the battle wasn’t over yet.
As the wanted criminals were killed off one by one, the next step was cleaning up.
2/3
Everything on the planet was now up for grabs, distributed among the bounty hunters.
Some people weren’t marked as criminals, but they might be slaves or hidden offenders. Therefore, their identities needed to be verified again.
Joanna joined the search for loot as well.
But the area she checked was different from everyone else’s.
She headed back into the main hall where the others had first entered.
Most people had no idea what this hall was for. They thought it just showed traces of Evil God activity. But Joanna knew-this was the altar where the godbound ritual had trapped the champions.
After she unleashed the Great Ruin, the Evil God’s power sealed off the area.
There might still be a trace of the Evil God left.
If she could learn its name or what it looked like, it’d help her stay alert if Helen didn’t manage to destroy it.
The temple had been badly damaged, with a huge hole in the roof. The steady influx of bounty hunters had only made it worse.
Still, a few people were gathered around a stone pillar, tinkering with something.
Fern was among them.
As Joanna wondered what was going on, a strange energy spread out, and the whole pillar was surrounded by swirling color.
Her system immediately sent her a message.
“Dungeon generation detected. Would you like to enter for exploration? This dungeon is rated as hell difficulty. No clear records found. First clear reward: all attributes +50 and 3 War Fragments p>
“It’s done!
“That went smoothly. Not sure what grade this dungeon is p>
