บท 229: Lady Of The Night (53)

(Northern Region- Outskirts Of New Atlantic City)

(Castle Eden- Training Field)

Mary wiped the beads of sweat from her brow as she swung her sword one more time at the training target.

The edge of her blade neatly bisected the training dummy in half. It was a smooth, clean cut and yet the young woman did not seem satisfied with the result.

I can do better…

No… I have done better.

Vague memories surfaced in Mary's mind of a muscular female knight fighting off multiple bandits by herself.

The way she moved… the way she expertly dodged… the way she killed without mercy or remorse…

Mary was not at her level yet.

She did not know who that woman was but for some reason there was a sense of familiarity in her mind.

As if she and the mysterious woman were the same person.

Mary tossed those strange thoughts to the back of her mind and concentrated on her breathing exercises.
