Bab 60: Slice Me Up!

Throughout her 999-year-long existence, Akamana had the spotlight stolen from her on multiple occasions. But in such a complete and overbearing manner? Never.

This was a first.

Mithras' challenge reverberated throughout the land, causing Akamana to tilt her head with a little pout. 

"Don't you think it's a bit shameless for a man to ask a girl to hold back?" The Grand Priestess asked. Although she thought fighting Elektra at a lower level was all fun and giggles, Akamana had no desire to try the same with Mithras. 

"Don't you think it's a bit shameless for a 1,000-year-old demoness at the peak of Blood Longevity to take a 20-year-old girl captive?" Mithras clapped back immediately, causing Akamana's pout to curl into a sinister smile. 

The insolence. Or was it confidence? Both, for sure. Yes, surely one had to be remarkably bold and insolent to face death with such a pretty smile.
