章 227: High-Octane Clash

Yuna was already engaging the man, who casually leaned side-to-side and backward to avoid her daggers, before responding with an unforeseen development—

"Let's push this further!" Collector said as his free arm began to convulse.

In an instant, while evading dagger strikes and stone shards thrown by Emilio, Collector's left arm grew twice in size, becoming bright-red with glowing, green veins before punching forward.

"—!"

The blow caught Yuna off-guard as the monstrous arm of Collector sailed towards her head, only being saved by a last moment wall of water that caught the fist.

"Oh!?" Collector smiled.

Though it stopped the man's powerful blow, the barrier of aqua morphed itself, wrapping around his amplified limb and binding it.

During that moment of free time, Yuna leapt back, catching her breath as she stood near the mage.

"…Thanks," Yuna said.

"Don't mention it," Emilio smiled.
