Bab 888: Final Prayer

Elle grew up on stories of Tyrion Heroes fighting for entire suns against Realm-ending threats. 

The gladiatorial matches in Caeruleum were full of insults, flashy moves, back and forths and upsets. 

Real fights don't last that long. 

All it took was a single, perfectly-aimed, perfectly-timed attack. 

...Elle had lost enough matches against her boyfriend to learn that particular lesson. 

Gaheris' ⌈Power Attack⌋ did a lot of damage. 

A second one would probably end her opponent rightly. 

Elle had the mana to spare... but the pressure was on. 

She only got the first hit in because her opponent underestimated her.

With that changed... Elle was betting that he didn't want to get hit again. 

She had Gaheris feint. Their opponent fell for it. 

...and the angel was right where she wanted him to be.
