Jolted awake by Elara's voice, Daru quickly turned to face Lothara, then swiftly tumbled to the side upon realizing he was half a moment too late to do anything else.
The moment the maroon-haired Veshari hit nothing, she jumped back and faded into the background.
Daru's eyes narrowed.
"Elara! The Veshari has turned invisible. Careful, she might attack you," he warned, then his gaze wandered.
To the left, then the right. There were no signs of Lothara.
'What a troublesome opponent…'
A few dozen meters to his left, Elara was having an aerial battle with Karzalkhatun. She was naturally disadvantaged in terms of raw strength.
However, her skills with the sword and her mastery of her strange combat style, which she could translate into aerial maneuvers to some extent, allowed her to fight on even footing, a faint smile on her face.
"Hoh, I can't believe someone as fragile-looking as you can fight this well, Sigrun," taunted the female SSS-ranker Vyrrkan.
