บท 2912: Catharsis

Though Ivan cleverly managed to disturb Ketis' thoughts, her battle instincts were not for show. She woke up just in time to fend off her opponent's charge.

The winds that assisted Ivan allowed him to evade her follow-up attack.

Ketis tried to come close enough in order to dispel his winds with a Conceptual Cut, but her opponent had learned from his previous attempts and kept his will contained.

She could not cut something that was out of her reach!

As Ivan cautiously circled around her in order to spot another opening, Ketis couldn't help but go think back on what he said.
