Bam! 

Lyla’s fist landed squarely on Serpina’s cheek with a heavy thud. Although she was a mage, Lyla could easily beat down a young adult man with her bare fists, and Serpina’s face turned the other way while the rest of her body stumbled. However, Serpina’s physical body was also Lyla’s. Likewise, her body was incomparably stronger than most mages'. Furthermore, Serpina’s body had been simply materialized by the World Tree, so she didn’t receive much damage. Serpina slowly turned her head and stared at Lyla again.

“You asshole!”

“You realized it just now?”

Lyla raised Windur and moved her mana. She planned to halt Serpina’s summoning at this instance. Yet, she didn’t disappear.

“It’s useless.”

“…You fixed your mana into your body.”

“As the flow of the mana from the World Tree’s clones was disrupted and too much pressure was placed on the crystal, it became possible for me to do so. Of course, if the World Tree’s mana regains order as time passes, things will turn back to normal, but you should give up for now.”

Lyla acted swiftly after hearing what Serpina said. 

Whoosh! 

She swung Windur at Serpina. If she couldn’t stop the summoning, she could physically eliminate her opponent. Even though a sword was more efficient...
