Chapter 107: – The Lord Is With Us (28)

༺ The Lord Is With Us (28) ༻

Delphine Yurdina was afraid of Ian Percus.

He was the first man whom she lost to and was the first one to humiliate her in all her life.

Ever since then, Delphine sat idly for days as she recalled the memories of that day.

Her opponent was injured with only one usable arm and was exhausted from having just defeated a named beast. Her group succeeded in ambushing them, and the possibility of ‘defeat’ didn’t even cross her mind.

Despite that, she had lost.

There was nothing wrong with her strategy. Her plan was a bit underhanded, but it eliminated as many variables as possible and carried her to the verge of victory.

There was only one variable that she forgot to take into consideration.

It was Ian Percus. She had grossly underestimated his skills.

It wasn’t her first time battling him. At that time, she was surprised by his decisiveness and had thought that he would shine even more in an actual battle.

However, the Ian she faced on the day of the hunting festival proved that her evaluation was an underestimation in comparison to how skilled he actually was.

Everything happened in an instant.

Fermin had his nose ripped off and was left unable to battle. Olmar was defeated by one of the Holy Land’s secret techniques and even Aisha was incapacitated by a skill from the Sword Circle.

Up until that point, Delphine stood as still as a statue. To Delphine, who thought Ian would collapse at any moment, each scene came as a shock.

It went beyond her understanding of Ian’s skill. He was a completely different person on the battlefield.
