Chapter 661
While a fierce battle raged in Diane, another equally intense fight was unfolding beneath the magic department of the Temple University. The only difference was that no one would remember this underground struggle.
It was an undeniably brutal clash.
Yet, Sabioleen Tana was not the one being brutalized.
“...”
Sabioleen Tana stood calmly, watching as the Immortal swordsman who charged at her was impaled by an aura spear and exploded just inches from her face.
She hadn’t moved a step since the battle began. Every Immortal that approached her had been swiftly intercepted.
“This...monster...” Cristina muttered through tightly-clenched teeth, her voice a mix of awe and disbelief.
Sabioleen Tana was undeniably human. She wasn’t an Immortal who had gained strength after being resurrected; she was simply a human, in a human body. Yet, she stood firm, in the same stance as when the battle began, effortlessly countering every attack the Immortals hurled at her.
Remarkably, she hadn’t even unsheathed her sword. Even the elite among the Immortals, those who had attained the rank of Grandmaster, couldn’t compel Sabioleen Tana to draw her weapon. They too were pierced by her aura spears and vanished, indistinguishable from any other Immortal. The only difference lay in whether they disappeared instantly, or only after enduring dozens of strikes.
The battlefield conditions were certainly unfavorable for the Immortals. But still, it was a battle of thousands against one. Even if the confined space prevented all of them from attacking at once, could she truly hold all of them off?
Ellen Artorius wielded the power of two holy relics. But Sabioleen Tana was holding back the Immortals’ relentless assault without any such aid. Wasn’t she considered more astonishing?
Despite being dubbed the continent’s strongest, Sabioleen Tana’s reputation didn’t quite match the grandeur of that title. Her mentor before the Great War had been Larken Simmerstait, the former commander of Shanapell. Just before the outbreak of the Great War, and during the war itself, the hero Ragan Artorius took the spotlight. And now that the Great War was over, Ellen Artorius was the name on everyone’s lips.
