Chapter 161: 15-year-old Inglis and the Two Leading Actresses (14)
「Sh-she’s already able to react and counter it?! I couldn’t even do it!」
Silva’s eyes were wide open at the sight of Inglis, who had magnificently kicked Yua away.
That said, his surprise was understandable.
The step-in movement Yua performed was apparently something close to teleportation using sorcery. The icicles that Inglis made were not swayed by the wind, instead, the mana in it trembled. If Yua had charged in physically, the icicles should have been blown away by the wind.
The current people of Midland had lost the sensitivity to sense mana. Although they could indirectly make use of that lost power by the use of Artifact, they couldn’t tap into that power directly without those Artifacts. It was no wonder that Silva was unaware of the movement of mana and thus incapable of reacting properly.
Still, even without those setbacks, Yua’s technique was still brilliant. Even Inglis was only able to sense the slightest flow of energy from Yua. Exactly because she couldn’t see it through with her bare eyes, she shattered the ice sword to help her probe around.
Teleportation using sorcery normally would bring about an enormous amount of mana movement in the surroundings. And yet, in Yua’s case, the movement was infinitesimally small. It was almost as if it was mixed in amongst the ambient mana in nature. The result of that, was an entrance that was nigh-impossible to evade.
「After the last incident, it was clear that I am no match to Inglis, but even so, to think there is this much gap between us……Now I’m starting to feel sorry for myself.」
Silva grew a bit downcast. Had she done something wrong? Personally, Inglis never meant to make him feel that way.
