Chapitre 43: Protecting Herself Unknowingly

Time slowed as Leonor found herself in an emergency. She failed to heal the injured man and the ceiling started to collapse because she wasn't focused at all on her surroundings.

Eve disappeared as Leonor's mana surged. The cat's purpose was fulfilled in helping her master out of a tight situation.

She cast him a look of shock.
