Lady Ilda looked down at the sword on her body, her eyes filled with confusion: Was I truly heavily injured by a Sixth Realm power? Unbelievable...
Owen Bertram, with the aid of Jason Gourd's Thousand Doors Eye, first detected not the breach in the nine-layered wall of flame, but the flaw within Lady Ilda herself: her connection with the Flame World was insufficient. This discovery paved the way for everything that followed.
The powerful Lady Ilda sensed the threat of the Umbrella Ball but failed to see through its true danger. The real threat came from the sword that followed – the Umbrella Ball merely set up the precondition for the sword attack.
Against the combined power of two Seven Mountains Divine Artifacts and one Seven Mountains "World" Divine Artifact, even Lady Ilda couldn't hold up for long. She realized that half of her mission - eliminating Owen Bertram - was already a failure after being slashed by the sword.
