Chapter 41: Purchase of the heart

"Alright, come at me with all you have," Silva said. He held a tree branch in his hand to serve as his weapon.

Fay nodded and took her stance. Her sword was immediately covered in flames, and then she dashed at Silva.

'Hmm, I can sense a lot of Mana from her, but I feel that even Lia has a better flow than her,' Silva thought. He didn't feel too much pressure, stepping forward and parrying her attack cleanly.

He didn't stop there. He moved in, tripping her, and she fell face-flat on the ground.

You have to be cautious of your entire body—that's the first stage. After being cautious of your body, you have to take it a step further and be cautious about your surroundings."

He stretched out his hand and helped her get up.
