Calmly observing the phenomenon around Desmond, the female knight kept her expression impassive. As she raised her sword from the ground, only a few more words came.
"I understand. Since you won't hand over the girl, then fight Desmond Astryd. As the commander of the royal knights, I, Camila Stonesoul, will stop you with all my might."
As Camila's words fell, an invisible pressure fell on Desmond, almost crushing his composure. This was Camila's intent colliding with Desmond's intent, fighting for dominance over the surrounding mana.
Camila's conviction was solid and heavy as steel, putting tremendous pressure on Desmond. Still, after a brief clash, Desmond managed to hold on to his resonance state.
Both William and Frederick felt the clash of both wills and were amazed to see a battle of this level. It had to be known that resonance and clash of intent were techniques used only by the most potent mana users with the highest affinities and talents.
