Kapitel 264: You are a parasite (2)

The fight continued, and Lira poured every ounce of her power into the battle. Her frustration mounted with each failed attempt, but she refused to yield. The air around her buzzed with mana, her aura radiating with the unmistakable strength of a 4-star Awakened warrior. Her strikes were no longer just movements; they carried the weight of her rank, her tempered body, and her cultivated Intent, a force unique to those who had ascended to her level. 

Lucavion, however, stood unmoved. His estoc shimmered faintly with mana, the most basic enhancement any 2-star warrior could manage. His movements were efficient, controlled, and maddeningly calm. He didn't retaliate often; instead, he focused on deflecting her every blow, sidestepping her power with a precision that was nothing short of humiliating.
