After cutting the path she'd been forced to run over within Godspeed Highway, Pherdanta had kept falling into the depths of the Territory. The Primary assault function of the Territory kept pulling her to other pathways so that she could get crushed by the counter force from behind or be pulverised by the Trigger Racers, but she kept cutting them with her glare or by reaching for a strand of her hair, which would promptly turn into a powerful sword that she used to slice anything in her path.
Her body was still slashed through at points, but with her perks as the Infinite Sword God, she had escaped being completely de-limbed and decapitated.
That said, the loss – against her own powers no less – hit Pherdanta hard. Even now, her sword, Dance of the Necrotic Butcher, was resisting her. It would not yield to even the most direct inclination Pherdanta forced onto it.
Thus, with each league she fell, she couldn't help but think…
Why did she lose?
Why did she did lose against Ashema?
