『My reverse scale? How are you going to find it? Hahaha!』0

Tiamat quietly burst into laughter, but the effect of that laugh on ‘Polaris’ was far from subtle. An immense pressure spread throughout ‘Polaris’, causing the whole region to tremble. She was not even physically in the area and was only inflicting damage on ‘Polaris’ in her spiritual form, so the idea of finding her reverse scale from ‘Polaris’ was preposterous.0

Even though the man was holding his sword against Tiamat’s nape, he was nowhere close to her real body, as it was just her spiritual form that she had manifested through her Channeling. What would happen if the man severed her Channeling, though? Let him! She could reform it over and over…!0

The man’s sword moved audibly, and Tiamat felt a cold sensation as blood flew up high into the air from behind her.0

Tiamat exclaimed in surprise, because even though it was miniscule, the man had managed to leave a scratch on her real body. She turned her head and saw the man, who seemed to be an assassin working for Taeul, watching her with a ferocious gaze; he was covered in Tiamat’s blood. Even though the wound was miniscule for Tiamat, it would definitely not be that for other people.0

『I guess you had a reason for your confidence.』0

Tiamat muttered, thinking that the assassin had to be capable of a magic spell or an Authority that could be used to inflict harm...0
