"Renoir..." Rael muttered.
But no matter what he said, it was clearly too late. After all, Anastasia had already summoned a single miniature golden sword in her hand, and not only that, she covered her body in an impenetrable barrier, one that even Rael seemed to struggle to glance past.
She had gotten much stronger than before, but even then, her current strength wasn't really enough to deal with him.
Or so that was what Rael thought.
Instead, Anastasia kicked off the ground, her figure blurring as she reappeared in front of Renoir. Her fist began to glow fiercely, and before long, she struck Renoir across the face, sending him flying backward.
Rael's eyes widened as he quickly used his mana to reduce the damage her punch did. Rather, he sent Renoir upward instead of into the buildings. The last thing he wanted was for the whole city to be destroyed because of their disagreement.
