Chapter 715
The massive shadowy figure flapping its wings in the clouds above continues to circle the battlefield, watching its subordinates surround and overwhelm us.
I'm not necessarily in any real danger; however, in my current state, I can't fly to get away from these seemingly endless hordes of blue-scaled lizards.
The best I can manage is a few steps into the air, and even then, the monsters surrounding me are far faster, so running wouldn't solve my issues.
I'm able to easily knock out every creature I hit. Whether that's making contact with their weapons or scales, every collision adds another fallen lizardman to the ground and simultaneously increases my Ether proficiency by a small amount.
While none of the hits I'm receiving help me train my healing or make any massive leaps in progress that shock my system, I'm still growing stronger.
Yet, out of the corner of my eye, I watch the lizardmen surround Ava, and one even throws an attack despite Ava threatening to drop her hammer on their fallen lord's head.
It is a surprise attack—a white wind crescent from a curved blade aimed at her back.
The Ether within it is strong, but I've come to realize while digesting the Goblin King's memories that my Ether senses are quite unique and fine tuned.
Those with normal avatars can't sense the heat coming their way instinctively, so my eyes widen when I see Ava jump up in the air to start the momentum of a backflip, throwing her hammer forward, missing the fallen lizardman's head beneath her by less than a meter.
