Chapter 226: A Suspected Chosen
Catherine's face was full of confusion as Ambrose tossed her into the air.
What had happened? Why was he…?
Wait, something wasn't right. Why was the lich even using Mage Hand to grab her limbs?
Four faintly glowing blue hands seized her wrists and ankles, spreading her body out in a star shape. She was suspended in midair in an embarrassingly exposed pose.
Before Catherine could even start struggling, a tremendous force struck her from behind.
The silvery-white slash slammed into her. The same attack that had cleaved a city in half merely tore open the clothing on her back, then carried her soaring high into the sky.
With Catherine blocking the blow, Ambrose was finally able to evade the attack. However, Naomi's wing had been grazed—a massive wound had rent her right wing, leaving her unable to stay aloft.
Ambrose had no choice but to send Naomi into his extradimensional space to recover, while he remained hovering in midair with Flight.
Moments later, a disheveled Catherine swooped down from the sky on her giant eagle. The instant she grabbed Ambrose, she drove a punch straight into his face.
