Bab 301: The Heart Of The Abyss [Part 2]

Vera and Esmond were having a heated battle with each other.

Earlier, the Ranker was confident that he could overpower the Avatar, but as their battle progressed, even though his opponent's strength only seemed to be at the E-Rank category, her battle experience far exceeded his own.

As a D-Ranker, Esmond had his fair share of battles, but he found his great strength unable to break past the old lady's defenses, because his full powered blows weren't blocked, but deflected, minimizing the power of his blows.

"I guess being old has its merits," Esmond teased.

Vera didn't bother to reply as she used her full concentration in order to keep the Ranker at bay. Just as Esmond had said earlier, this was only her Avatar.

Currently, her real body was seated in a lotus position back in Solaris. When Iris had left to the Hidden Domain, Vera had given her a gem that would allow her to summon Vera's Avatar if her life was in grave danger.
