Chapter 309: Duel

Every attack, Karl was forced further from the group, isolated from any chance of reinforcement, but the Blizzard was fading as the leader felt that her mana would be better used on combat than distraction, now that they were fifty metres away from the main battle, and well outside the encirclement.

Karl flicked his blade down, parrying an attack coming for his legs, but couldn't react fast enough for the left hand that she took off her blade and punched him square in the chest with.

His barriers held, but he was rolling in the snow, and the blade was coming for him again, while he didn't have the footing to force it away.

Remi intervened, hitting the Giant with [Chain Lightning] and making her arm twitch, sending the attack wide as Karl rolled to his feet.

Her expression was startled, not having expected the attack from what she thought was a defeated opponent.
