Saffron PoV
[Meanwhile]
Bylet rushed at me with his horns, but I rapidly blocked them with multi-layered barriers of darkness mana.
I gritted my teeth as they shattered them all. My cannon needed more time to charge. No... Perhaps it was time I tried something else other than my mega beam. But what would work? This guy's body could heal naturally, without using any mana. That left a myriad of tiny blasts a bad idea. Unless I launched them all at once and had them him him in one go.
My hand went to the necklace underneath my shirt. The sword I had commissioned Rowan to make some weeks ago was done. But I had yet to try it in an actual battle.
Bylet roared, pushing me back. His horns crackled with black electricity as he prepared for another charge. "What are you waiting for, Saffron? Are you too scared to face me head-on?" he taunted, his voice echoing through the battlefield.
