As Jarles was closing on to Melanie silently, his eyes were shining with a dangerous glare.
Suddenly, Jarles drew the sword from his waist and struck Melanie brazenly.
Jarles has been regulating his breath and adjusting his posture so the sudden attack had speed and power that far exceeded his normal attack but… it missed.
Melanie slightly moved her herself away when the sword almost struck her as if she had seen it coming.
Jarles' sword grazed Melanie's body and Melanie's sword landed on his neck instead.
Wung!
Wails of the dead sounded from her sword and it caused Jarles to change his expression several times before cooperatively raised his hands up.
"As expected…"
Buk!
Just as Melanie wanted to utter something and before the words truly came out from her mouth, a sword perforated her chest!
Melanie looked down at the sword tip tainted with her blood before turning around and saw the other Hound who ambushed her.
