Zenobia had clearly lost her mind completely.
She had already been thrown off balance by her battle with Silent Dark Shadow.
The moment she saw Luca, her rage flared up again.
Her already unstable state spun completely out of control.
She gave up chasing Silent Dark Shadow and charged straight toward Luca.
When faced with Zenobia's attack, Luca didn't choose to run. He decided to meet her head-on.
"You've never beaten me before—what makes you so sure you can defeat me this time? My condition isn't great, but I'm still confident I can beat you!"
Luca said in an easy, almost casual tone.
He hoped this would make Zenobia think twice.
As long as Zenobia held back in the coming fight, he could stall until reinforcements arrived.
Luca knew full well that the people of the Imperial Capital must have sensed the presence of the two Chaos deities.
Whatever their agendas, they would choose to drive those two Chaos deities away.
