章 97: Victory

The runes around White Jade were about to make a full circle. 

But the sword was faster than her mouth. And the sword hit the mage. 

[Critical Hit! -1367 HP]

Almost immediately, the HP bar of White Jade dropped down to yellow. One attack did so much damage, considering that she was a mage with terrible defense and worse health. 

She flew back, and the runes all disappeared. While she was on the ground, Jake jumped forward and his sword was pointed at her neck. 

"Just a second late and I would have taken considerable damage. You are much stronger than I expected. I am surprised at your skill." Jake nodded with respect. 

For a mage to land a few hits on him, and almost cast a big spell which would have activated if Jake was just a sliver slower, was a big deal.
