"Bang—Boom!!!"
Kevin's bat slammed solidly into the frozen void.
The solidified spatial portal shattered like the most fragile glass, exploding into flying shards of ice crystals!
The terrifying power contained in the bat did not diminish, slamming fiercely into the position where Sirin had been hovering, piercing through the air to form a visible white shockwave, and finally landing heavily on the ground below.
"Thud—!!!"
The entire training space trembled violently, like a drumhead struck by a giant hammer.
At the point of impact, the alloy floor buckled and warped in a radial pattern, forming a large crater, and a ring of white ice mist mixed with ice shards surged outward like a tsunami!
Sirin's figure re-materialized in the air a few dozen meters away, her expression even colder than before, with a hint of shock she couldn't fully conceal.
If that hit had connected just now... she had no doubt that this body would have suffered severe damage.
"Damn it...!"
Her shock and anger instantly turned into an even more violent killing intent.
She no longer held anything back, nor did she care about "outsmarting" or "observing" anymore.
"Fall!" She swung her arms downward violently.
The thousands of Spears of the Void hovering in the air, already primed and ready, were like a swarm of bees receiving a final command. Emitting a deafening shriek, they turned into a destructive purple-black torrent and poured down indiscriminately toward the area of spreading ice mist where Kevin was, and... that grey-haired one who was also within the attack range!
The area covered by the rain of spears was so large that it almost sealed off all space for dodging on the ground.
"Waaaaah! What does this have to do with me?!"
Stelle had been watching Kevin's earth-shattering leap and Sirin's desperate teleportation with her jaw dropped, and before she could even exclaim, the rain of death descended upon her.
Terrified out of her wits, she didn't care about her image anymore. She turned and ran, letting out meaningless shrieks.
She couldn't outrun the speed of the spatial spears.
Survival instinct made her reach into the void with her left hand, and that pitch-black metal baseball bat appeared once again.
While darting left and right like a startled rabbit, she frantically swung her bat, attempting to block or deflect the Spears of the Void shooting toward her.
"Clang! Cling! Sshhh—!"
The sounds of metal clashing and energy tearing were incessant.
Stelle's combat instincts were indeed excellent. In this frantic escape, she actually managed to knock away and deflect dozens of Spears of the Void with her bat, but many more spearheads grazed her body, leaving shallow marks on her coat and causing her to shriek repeatedly, in a sorry state.
"No! I can't just keep taking hits!"
After dodging a dense volley, Stelle caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye of Sirin hovering a short distance away, back turned to her, fully focused on controlling the rain of spears pouring down on Kevin in the ice mist, seemingly not paying any attention to her, this small fry.
The impulse that "the opportunity has come" rushed into Stelle's head.
"Who are you looking down on?!"
She slammed on the brakes, stopping her escape.
The Flame Lance gripped tightly in her right hand instantly erupted with even more intense light, and the flames of Preservation coiled around her arm.
"Eat my spear!!!"
Using all her strength, Stelle twisted her waist and, in a standard javelin-throwing stance, hurled the Flame Lance in her hand with all her might toward Sirin's back in mid-air!
"Hum—Boom!"
The moment the Flame Lance left her hand, it turned into a crimson meteor tearing through the air, trailing a long tail of fire. Its speed was astonishing, crossing dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, the tip pointing directly at Sirin's heart!
The high temperature of the flames even caused the air along its path to burn.
However, facing this sudden sneak attack from behind, Sirin didn't even turn her head.
Just as the Flame Lance was about to touch her Herrscher dress armor, a fist-sized Imaginary void appeared silently behind her, precisely swallowing the tip of the Flame Lance.
Immediately, the void vanished.
