'Alright, fuck it.'

Astaria's expression changed.

The Mana inside her body moved to her legs and she quickly jumped back.

She then glanced at Herms and after a little pause,

She appeared right next to him.

Herms barely defended against her attack. She was so fast that he didn't even get the time to adjust his Great Sword, in the end, he was forced to use the dagger to block Astaria's attack.

Herms quickly jumped back, he couldn't fight in that awkward position after all.

The man then glanced at Astaria and a smile appeared on his face,

"So you are finally going to fight for real, huh?"

He questioned.

"I gave you enough chances already.

The pain is your only option now."

Astaria smiled.

She wanted to push Herms a little further than this, however, in the end, Herms was the second strongest, and she couldn't hold back in front of a man like him.

She has already taken this battle a few hundred meters away from the main battlefield where the other soldiers fought. Now everything else depended on the soldiers.

If they managed to successfully use the diversion tactic, they should be far enough for this battle to not affect them.

Yes, even while fighting against the second strongest, she was thinking about things like these.

Of course, she couldn't continue this any longer.

"Heh. You seem to care a lot about those soldiers."

"Yours are useless, mine are not."

Astaria's answer was simple.

"Well, I won't deny that.

The soldiers I have are useless. You cannot expect much from a strange mix-up that has barely trained together as a single unit, after all."

"So now you are openly admitting it, huh."

Astaria smiled.

"I don't have a reason to hide, now do I?" Herms smiled as well.

"Say."

Suddenly, Astaria spoke.
