"You did not have to do that."
His words echoed like thunder in her ears.
Instead of replying, Lexie just decided to shake her head while grimacing in pain.
Even she herself was surprised at the absurd action she made. At that time, seeing that Desther was about to be ambushed, her body moved on its own, rushing to save him with her new skill despite knowing that he might actually be capable of dodging that on his own.
Nevertheless, the realization came in too late, confirmed by Desther's earlier words himself.
There was nothing she could do about it.
Her body reacted before her mind could, making her use her new skill to rush forward and block the monster's ambush.
She just did not expect that its attack would feel that heavy and hard.
Most of the attack force was even already neutralized by the sword she had coated in lightning.
Fortunately, Desther was there to catch her flying body. Else, the injury she sustained might have been worse than it was now.
