บท 212: The Chosen Opponents

Vincent, regaining his footing after his failed attack, shook his head in disbelief. His usually enigmatic expression was replaced with a rare hint of confusion. "They saw right through my attack," he muttered to himself. Standing up, he brushed off the dust, his face set in a determined expression. "We need to work together. Their strength is undeniable."

Lydia, standing tall and unshaken by the recent events, nodded in agreement. Her stoic face showed no sign of fear, only a resolute determination. "A joint attack is the only logical approach," she said, her voice steady and calm. "Their mana is formidable."

Cassandra, still visibly annoyed by the situation, crossed her arms and let out a sigh of frustration. "I can't believe I'm being forced to collaborate with all of you," she said, her voice dripping with pride. Despite her reluctance, the determination in her eyes showed she was ready to put aside differences for the greater challenge.
