Dimensional Descent

Chapter 934 - Eight of Twelve

Mall and Willaith felt a deep sense of fear for some reason. They didn't even register that this shadow was a woman until they breathed their last breaths… Maybe it was only then, when they could finally release their worries, that they could notice something so meaningless.

The battle lasted less than a hundred exchanges and there were even some points they believed they might be able to win. But, the rate of improvement the masked shadow underwent was far beyond their expectations or anything they could handle.

No… It wasn't improvement. It was as though as this shadow was adapting their already ridiculously strong combat capabilities to counter the two of them specifically. It was the most shocking feat of battle they had ever seen. Even in death, they couldn't help but admire it.

The sound of two bodies falling to the ground resonated as the masked shadow finally put the young woman down.

"Thank you! Thank you!" The young woman bowed deeply. Even though her back had been torn open and was still bleeding, she still took the effort to properly bow.

The masked shadow, who was obviously none other than Aina, nodded lightly. In her hand, she brandished a spear, much different from her usual battle ax. But, it was hard to tell that if this was another training method to help her breakthrough, or if she was just trying to hide her identity. If Mall and Willaith had known that they died to someone not even using the weapon they were most comfortable with, who knew how they would react?

Seeing that gratitude of the young woman, Aina nodded lightly before vanishing.

Her mission had already been complete. In truth, she was supposed to follow Ossan around until he slipped up and could be pinned with the crime of spreading false rumors by the Luxnix family. But, this was just the third day and he had already failed so epically.
