Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Carissa pointed with her Rose Spear toward where she had fought Michael.

"If your eyes are still working, see why Michael surrendered for yourself."

The location wasn't far, just about seven or eight paces away. Aurora followed the direction Carissa indicated, and took a deep breath. She saw five cracks on the ground, each twisting and winding, as if a centipede had crawled through. They converged at one spot.

That spot was roughly where Michael had been standing. The cracks seemed to have passed through beneath his feet. One crack was about the size of a footprint, indicating a lighter impact. It appeared that Carissa's inner force had struck Michael's feet, causing this lighter crack.

If Carissa hadn't carefully controlled her inner force, it could have crippled Michael's legs. That was why he had surrendered.

Aurora took a deep breath, realizing that in Carissa's presence, she had been thoroughly defeated.

However, she straightened herself quickly, clinging to Barrett's arm and leaning against him. She displayed the kind of smile she had previously scorned-a delicate and charming smile.

"Yes, I lost to you in the challenge, and my skills may not be as good as yours. But I'm the one who secured Victory Pass, and I'm married to General Warren by royal edict. His love for me is undeniable. "Even if you achieve great feats on the battlefield and hold a higher rank in the future, I will still have beaten you first. I will always be the first female general of Starhaven and Barrett's wife. You'll never be able to claim these positions."
