The expression on the entity’s face twisted for a moment. The unsettling smile it had worn all along was now tinged with displeasure.
‘Did “it” recognize Tiamata?’
Kurung!
A mass surged forth from the wall of darkness blocking the entrance. Not blades, but a wave.
Only then did we realize that it had been toying with us so far.
At that moment, it became clear to me that the one who was going to die that day was Sabioleen Tana.
I let out an audible gasp.
A wave couldn’t be blocked with a sword.
Kukwakwang!
Sabioleen Tana didn’t use her sword. Instead, she unleashed a massive amount of mana from the protective barrier surrounding her body, neutralizing the encroaching darkness.
Kurung!
The impact was strong enough to crack the palace floor. I was astounded by what I had just witnessed.
She had swept away the wave of darkness with a burst of pure mana.
So that was what a Grandmaster-level monster with S+ rank mana was capable of. It was beyond superhuman.
It was hard to believe she could still wield such power while in such a terrible condition.
The darkness surged towards us from all directions. Though Charlotte was in front of us, I turned away because of the intense sense of unease that I felt coming from behind me.
The darkness lunged at me, and I maximized my physical enhancement.
I believed. There was no way I was on Sabioleen Tana’s level, but I believed I was.
No. It wasn’t even about belief. I had already succeeded once, so doing it again would be easier.
With an extreme sense of exhilaration coursing through my body, I raised Tiamata to intercept the incoming blade of darkness.
Kwaang!
“Ugh!”
There was no time to marvel at myself for blocking the blow without coughing up blood.
The force behind it was so immense that it almost tore Tiamata from my grip.
Bang! Kwabang! Bang!
Sabioleen Tana was descending the stairs, inching closer to Charlotte.
‘Is there any point to this fight? If she gets close, Charlotte will just melt into the darkness and disappear. Can she subdue Charlotte before that happens?’
Just because she had done it before was no guarantee that she would be able to do it this time. Charlotte’s attacks were focusing more on Sabioleen Tana than on me.
I just needed to stay alive.
As long as I didn’t hinder Tana, I was doing my job. The moment I made her worry about me, everything would be over.
Swish!
Clang!
“Ugh!”
Thankfully, Tiamata was effective against this darkness. An ordinary sword would have been cut through or brushed aside by the dark blades.
There was no swordsmanship to this. I had never learned to fight something like this. However, one didn’t always get to choose one's opponent.
Even if I didn’t know how to handle the situation, I had to manage somehow.
I focused...
