Chapter 527
Charlotte sprang forward, one knee driving high, and Nehat’s head snapped back as she whipped through the air, leaving a spray of scarlet light in its wake.
Nehat flipped backward, landing hard in a crouch, boots skidding across the dirt.
"----!"
Her face, from which a beastly roar erupted, was already a complete mess.
Several teeth were broken, of course, and her face was swollen all over. The fact that she hadn't lost consciousness despite her condition was likely thanks to her being an apostle of Kruxica.
"She’s lasting longer than I thought," Thesaya murmured, looking down at Nehat charging at Charlotte.
A smile was on her lips, as if she had never been worried about Charlotte at all. "I figured a few good hits would strip her down to her true colors."
"Pride’s a hell of a thing," Ian replied nonchalantly.
It wasn’t just them watching; the warriors of her clan were watching, too. She wouldn’t want to show a weak side. That was likely why she had come to meet him in person in the first place.
However, that patience would surely hit its limit soon. A crack in her pride would be better than losing her position as Great Chieftain.
Shhhhk—
Charlotte avoided various attacks from Nehat, including punches, claw gauntlets, and kicks.
