The Demigod's assault on Kartora did not stop.
In fact, the moment Daniel appeared, the attack intensified to its absolute limit.
The Demigod of the Blade Domain swung his long crimson blade with terrifying speed, cleaving through the air and releasing a massive arc of scarlet light that tore toward Kartora like a wave of death.
Kartora had planned to counter by using Time Stasis to halt the attack momentarily, then slip away while the strike was frozen.
However, as expected, her time manipulation was disrupted by Kalbira.
To make matters worse, Daniel's sudden appearance disturbed Kartora's mind power, shaking her mental focus.
Because of that brief lapse—just a fraction of hesitation—her reaction slowed by the tiniest fraction of a second, enough for her to miss her only window to evade.
As the scarlet energy engulfed the skies and came crashing toward her, Kartora did not panic.
Instead, her eyes softened, turning toward Daniel's direction with a gentle gaze.
