Chương 137: Worst-case Scenario [1]

I didn't move.

Isabell kept struggling under me. Yet Iris was looking only at me.

Schwing-!

Clatter-

The two halves of my mask fell onto the ground with a light clatter.

"If you are trying to get on my nerves, then you are doing a very good job."

Iris who saw my face spoke with a hint of annoyance.

Due to [Domination Decree] my face was unrecognizable. Of course, the intimidation effect must be working on her too but the gap between our ranks was too big for any effect.

"Stop hiding your face."

She pressed her sword against my neck.

Splosh- Splosh-

Droplets of my blood fell onto the ground.

Isabell who I had pinned suddenly jerked with a powerful force, strong enough to throw me off her.

I was thrown a few feet away.

Isabell, who was now free, spoke in a surprised tone.

"H-how? I don't think I used that much strength?"

'Of course, you didn't. It was me who loosened my grip.'
