บท 176: Alfred's Ungraceful Return

After the intense battle had come to a surprising end, Ophelia sauntered over to where Drakina, now back in her human form, stood. The area around them was still smoldering from the remnants of Alfred's fiery attacks.

"You didn't kill him, just threw him out of the Death Land," Ophelia observed, her tone playful yet inquisitive. She tilted her head, looking at Drakina with a curious expression.

Drakina, always composed, nodded in acknowledgment of Ophelia's statement. She had indeed noticed that her attack, while immensely powerful, had not been lethal to Alfred. Instead, it had served to eject him forcefully from their territory. "I know," Drakina replied calmly. "But it seems I may have underestimated them too much."

Ophelia gave a light shrug, a smirk on her face. "Me too. Looks like our enemies are stronger than we thought."
