“How foolish. You two are nothing more than the sidekicks of that girl,” Tiffany sneered, her cold smile dripping with disdain. "And you think you can stop me?"
However, her condescending smirk faltered slightly when her gaze landed on Leone’s right hand.
"A Special Grade Rune? Hmph…"
"That’s right! Keep underestimating us, and you’ll regret it!" Rafinha shot back confidently.
"R-Rafinha… wait a minute…" Leone tried to stop Rafinha from provoking Tiffany.
Leone had heard that Holy Knights’ combat abilities were comparable to Hyrule Menaces in their human form, like Tiffany. But she wasn’t confident she could match Tiffany’s power just yet. She didn’t feel she was at the level of Leon or Raphael, even though she bore the same grade of rune.
Even among those with Special Grade Runes, there were differences in ability. Having the rune didn’t automatically place her on par with the strongest knights.
"It’s fine…! Just arguing with her buys us time. You should say something too, Leone," Rafinha whispered, her tone surprisingly calculated. Despite her outward bravado, she was using her provocations strategically.
