章節 82: Kugula

At that moment, the world around us fell silent; the sound of the wind, the chirping of birds, even the gentle lapping of the lake's waves seemed to fade into the background. It was as if only the two of us existed, and the world revolved around us.

Evangeline wasn't hiding her power; this was a moment that revealed her true warrior spirit.

"Good start," I muttered, gripping my sword tightly.

"I haven't even begun," she replied, her voice firm and calm. There was a glint in her eyes, waiting for my challenge.
