Chapter 49

༺ The First Letter (49) ༻

The blade of the ax was coming her way at breakneck speed. Delphine instinctively sensed so as soon as she witnessed the silver trajectory that sliced through the air and drew a horizontal line.

If the ax’s trajectory wasn’t stopped, she’d be defeated. That ax wasn’t swung with the intention of stopping enroute. If so, the speed it was traveling would be slower.

A high-momentum attack without even a moment’s hesitation.

There was no time to remain perplexed. Delphine suddenly came to her senses. The ax blades were already approaching, but it wasn’t too late just yet.

Her sword was still coated with aura. Even though it would be difficult to pierce her layer of fortified mana and reach her bones, stopping the impact would be a simple task.

Her body spun around and the white gown unfolded. The sword and ax collided, the breathtaking scene was akin to that of a dance.

A sound of zing resonated in the room as a gash materialized on her shoulder, blood slowly oozing out. The wound was the least of her worries, it was the decisive moment of a tense battle that could determine the victor.

There was no time to pay attention to the wound. Delphine swung her sword subsequently.

Her sword traveled like a bullet, drawing a solid golden line with immense speed. Delphine’s magic power was superior to mine. Regardless of the difference in mana quality, her sword would never lose in a contest of strength.

The only advantage I have is that she didn’t find her balance due to her abrupt spin…

Her body, which didn’t properly balance her weight, was incapable of displaying her flawless technique. As the momentum of her sword increased, she became increasingly more vulnerable to external interference as she lacked the capability to rise from her lower body.
