[Ding~!]
The moment the chime rang inside his head—
A wide smile appeared on Lucian's face, and he immediately swung his blade horizontally towards Grace, putting his entire strength behind the attack.
The flames engulfing his sword surged violently, and the temperature around them rose even further, causing the air to tremble faintly.
And in the next instant—
[Your sword mastery has surpassed the threshold.]
[Your mastery over the sword has advanced from Apprentice to Adept Rank.]
[Your skill Basic Combat Sense has evolved to Advanced Combat Sense.]
SLICE!
Grace's eyes widened as his blade cut through her claws, slicing them cleanly before continuing towards her abdomen.
Blood sprayed through the air as the sword carved a deep gash across her stomach.
"Not bad after all…"
She muttered, glancing down at the wound.
