Bab 626: Earned Power

"A witch," Arad stepped forward, clenching a fist. "By casting magic using your nails, you avoid all the lag of using an arcane focus, resulting in a cast as quick as moving your hand. But on the other side, it places a massive toll on the body, so most witches end up looking like old rags,"

"I won't end up like that," Eris smiled, getting ready to block Arad's charge, "I'm an immortal vampire with dragon blood flowing through my veins, and now, holy magic that keeps me healthy. I can take the toll with ease,"

Eris kept her eyes open, tracking Arad's every move. The last time she fought his second phase, she got blitzed before she could see him attack.

Arad disappeared from her vision, and she felt her guts twist violently. The moment she realized it, Arad had already plunged his fist into her stomach, sending her back at a blinding speed.
