*Thud*

The Battle ended as Astaria was sent flying.

She was doing well for the first 15 minutes and was able to hold on against Nawdren, this time, the Sword the shine around her sword was dimmer than the first time she used it, however, it was much more stable.

The output wasn't as strong, however, Astaria knew that last time, she was simply wasting Mana.

She still couldn't control this technique very well, therefore, she was limiting the Mana she feeds the sword with. The output was compromised, however, her control was better.

And honestly, even this 'controlled' and 'limited' strength was very much enough to cut through Nawdren's defenses.

In this last month, Astaria hadn't made much progress.

She has only learned how to willingly activate the technique, and that too, only if her Mana reserve was filled to the brim. She tried using the surrounding Mana for it, but it proved to be much more complicated and Astaria had a feeling that she wouldn't be able to learn it anytime soon.

First, she needed to master this technique using her own Mana.

Astaria even had a lead in today's battle at the start, Nawdren knew how dangerous her technique was, one mistake and he might lose a limb.

He needed to be careful.

He fought in a defensive position, just keeping himself safe, and mostly focusing on dodging Astaria's attack.

Previously, the best move for him in this situation was to just run away and return when Astaria ran out of Mana like how he did the first time Astaria used this, now, however, he didn't have that option since Nux was standing right behind.

The moment he ran, Nux would appear and…

Nawdren didn't even want to think about what would happen then.

Anyways, ultimately, he needed to fight Astaria head-on until she masters this technique.

Astaria needed to grow, however, if Nawdren continued to run whenever they spar, she would never learn anything.

Of course, Nux also wouldn't always restrict Nawdren like he is doing now,

Astaria needed to learn how to stop this technique before it stops itself after devouring most of her Mana.

She was still in the learning phase, slowly but surely, she would master this technique, and once she does, Astaria believed that even fighting toe to toe against Nux wouldn't be impossible.

However, for now, her target was Nawdren.

Who, after being defensive for the first 15 minutes, started attacking when her control over this technique started weakening.
