Chapter 248
Vila, burdened with the immediate duty to protect the priestess, couldn’t help but wonder, Could I have been deceived?
The priestess possessed an unexpected level of skill. Vila hadn’t anticipated having to face her in combat. Even now, as she deftly parried Yan’s relentless attacks, she was barely holding her ground.
Just then, the priestess shouted, “Chieftain! Are you just going to stand there?”
Her sharp words snapped Vila out of his stupor. He had to act. Following Yan’s command, he focused on the priestess’s side.
There, a long scar marred her skin, surrounded by necrotic tissue. Vila recognized it all too well. He bore a similar scar on his own abdomen—a result of clashing with Duke Beowulf.
But how could the priestess have such a wound?
As Vila grappled with this revelation, Yan adapted swiftly to the dense mana in the air. His senses sharpened, allowing him to gauge the priestess’s approximate strength.
Is she now at the level of a newly awakened transcendent?
Yan’s eyes gleamed.
Thwack!
Unlike before, when he struggled to control his strength, each of Yan’s attacks now sliced through the air with precision. The priestess defended herself, her movements faster than ever.
