Chapter 442: Second Coming
Lilixira jumps into the hall, keeping her staff pointed at me. As she lands, she swings her staff.
“[Holy Spear].”
A spear of light shoots from her staff and closes in on me at high speed. Is dodging possible? No, that's too difficult.
Then I have no choice but to block. At the same time as I defend with my claws, I’ll shoot a [Wind Slash] at her! I spread my wings and swing my foreleg. The spear of light hits my claws.
Two of the digits of my foreleg are torn off and roll across the floor. However, I succeed in causing the spear of light to deviate from its trajectory, and it stabs into the wall behind me.
Enduring the pain, I flap my wings and send the wind produced down my arm towards Lilixira. I then twist my body and shoot a second [Wind Slash] in a different direction.
Just before the first blade of wind reaches Lilixira, a wall of light appears in front of her. The blade of wind seems to be sucked into the wall, and vanishes into ripples. No sooner as it disappears, as the blade of wind reappears from the surface of the wall, this time flying towards me.
At the last moment, my partner turns her face to the side to dodge the returning blade of wind. It tears off scales as it grazes past her, splattering blue blood.
That’s probably Lilixira’s skill, [Mirror Counter]. I’m already hard pressed enough as it is, and yet she still has skills I don’t know about.
