Bab 51: Defeated And Commissioned

'…!'

"Now it's my turn."

At the moment of the wolf's charge, Liora chose to attack rather than evade. Although the damage was slight, she managed to inflict some with Shining Blade and [Flash] played important role.

With the wolf's agility now debuffed and Liora unscathed except for her MP, the initial strike was surprisingly in Liora's favor.

"Flash—"

A blinding darkness.

Immediately following, she used the Divine Dance arts to close the distance rapidly, nullifying the wolf's reaction with the Enemy resistance reduction. Her scythe slashed at the wolf's leg, spilling blood.

The attack didn't end there. Liora continued with a series of blows, moving as if she were dancing.

'——!'

The wind wolf activated a spell. It increased the output of the wind armor that had been covering its body.

The sudden surge caused Liora to lose her balance, and in that moment, the wolf's sharp claws slashed at her.
