Chapter 332: Arc 5, - 26: Not Knowing When to Quit
"This one..." the stone-woman spoke with a rumble. "Who is this...?"
"As if I know. I’m more concerned about what occurred to the twenty guards concealed outside to keep watch," the spirit-mage replied while Jotou got up to her feet and glared—her skin dirtied and hair frizzled.
"Incompetent. Useless..." the stone hissed.
"My best assumption is that this is some group of adventurers. Enough of this farce, let us end their meaningless lives."
"Do you believe that was not the intent from the beginning!?"
"I’m not that easy to kill, believe it or not," Jotou’s eyes sparked. ’Grab the sword. The spirit-mage is out of reach. If I can take out an entire floor off a building, I can take down some stone, thing... But if it’s stone made from magic... That’s where it’s failing... Still...’
"Is that so?" the ghosts had halted their attack for the moment and the runes on her body returned to their pulsing state.
"I’m the Thundering Blade," she knitted her brows.
"...That Thundering Blade...?" the spirit-woman’s emotionless face grew the tiniest fraction of a frown, "How disappointing you are for all your tales..."
Jotou’s eyes moved away from her fallen sword and glared to the spirit-mage with a spark, "Why don’t you get off your coward’s throne and we’ll see if you’re still disappointed."
She was hardly fazed, "Fear is not the reason, the reason lies within power. You call me a coward yet you do the same with the magics you’ve been given, do you not? You have no grounds to call me a coward, coward."
"Really? Seems to me like I’m taking my battle head-on, while one conveniently floats away like a child’s balloon and the other hides behind rocks," Jotou’s brown eyes darted to the stone-woman and the armite blade near her.
