Liam rushes outside and is immediately hit with three shocks in a row.
First, there are a lot of haelions.
Second, Aldriana is fighting all of them alone.
And third… he can actually see. Not well, but enough. The faint glow from the plants, the movement of shadows and somehow it's all clearer to him now.
"Jesus… what the… Aldriana?!"
Aldriana, meanwhile, is having the time of her life.
She's finally able to unleash her full skillset without holding back. No consequences. No restrictions. Just pure, unfiltered power.
She's not only using magic; she's using martial arts Liam knew she had… just not to this insane extent.
She leaps lightly into the air to dodge a charging haelion, spinning with a casualness that would piss off any reasonable fighter. In one hand, a blade of red flames. In the other, a blade colder than ice.
Both blades are terrifying.
