Chapter 2034: Golden Knight (Part 2)

Between the pain from War stinging at her from the inside and the Void Flames eating at her from the outside, Iata didn't notice Lith's flaming tail wrapping around her hind legs.

The hold threw the Sekhmet off balance while also giving Lith the leverage he needed to escape and regain his footing. He got up with a kip-up, using the same motion to strike with his head at her lower jaw and make War sink deeper in her flesh.

'What the fuck?' Iata felt as if suddenly the laws of physics had lost their meaning. 'How can Verhen be this strong? I had him pinned to the ground, and with Life Maelstrom empowering me, the gap in our physical abilities is abyssal.'

She charged forward again in order to impale him with her horns before he could heal, yet Lith seemed to move even faster than the Sekhmet. He managed to regain his balance and needed but a hand to force her to a halt by grabbing her head.
