Chapitre 481: Confrontation (2)

Marcus found himself in a dance of blades and deception with Ilsa, the Frantian soldier skilled at creating illusions, made some afterimages that confused her opponent.

Her power was based on disorientation rather than brute force, making her a difficult opponent for a straightforward guy like Marcus.

Ilsa's eyes glowed menacingly as she maintained her stance and focused her mana. Then, like ripples on a pond, the air around her began to distort. Suddenly, Marcus saw multiple versions of her. He focused but couldn't find the original despite his many attempts.

Marcus gripped his Axe tighter; his knuckles whitened. His gaze darted from one illusion of Ilsa to the next, each appearing as real as the last.

Ilsa raised her sword and lunged at him at the same time. Marcus raised his shield instinctively with his right hand and the Axe with his left. At the same time, he set up the mana barrier glowing with mana. The illusions began to circle the man.
