"Haaap!"

Taking advantage of Apep's surprise, Michelle moved as fast as light, appearing at the back of its head in an instant. With a powerful swing, Akal Esh hit the giant snake squarely behind the head, causing a resounding thud.

*BAM!* *HISSSSS!*

Michelle's attack was so abrupt that Apep couldn't even prepare for it!

After getting hit on the back of its head, the bluish-white flames of Akal Esh left an ember burning on its scales. However, a few seconds later, the flames vanished on their own, as if getting snuffed out.

Michelle was shocked after seeing this and quickly followed up with another swing before her enemy could recover. However, before it could connect, a figure appeared on her back.

"Michelle! Careful!"

It was none other than Helviree, who was now holding a gigantic shield in her hand, blocking the incoming attack from Apep's tail, coming at Michelle's blindspot. "Aegis!"
