Lunel herself knew that the baffle was over.
Whist uninjured, she and Lillian were evenly matched. Now with the gash in her leg, she stood no chance.
Curse this weak transformation. This will be the death of me.
Lunel always thought that she did not deserve to be the eighth-ranked. After all, she felt like the ninth and tenth were stronger than her.
Of course, she did not argue with King Helix about this. The man had his reasons.
Lunel gritted her teeth through the pain and charged forward once again.
Lillian could see the woman's steps were sloppy. She could end the battle within the next few exchanges.
Lunel swung her arms in a double slash, which was easily parried by Lillian, who then delivered a kick into the woman's stomach, sending her toppling to the ground.
But Lunel wasn't finished. She wouldn't allow herself to be killed so easily.
She rolled to her feet and charged again.
