“Now! Let’s try that again!”
“Raaagh!” Once again, the halberd swung down toward Inglis.
“Haaaah!”
Thwap!
Inglis grasped the halberd’s head between her palms.
“Ngh!” From his position on the giant’s chest, Maxwell’s eyes popped open wide.
Inglis chuckled. “This feels good!” If she relaxed for even a second, she’d be crushed. That was how forceful the attack was.
She wondered if it measured up to Dux Jildegrieva. She was sure he’d be jealous if he knew she was fighting such a strong enemy. The faceless giant was a perfect partner for her preparations for their rematch. She couldn’t lose and acquiesce to becoming his wife. She needed to strengthen herself through battles like this, so that the next time they met she would conclusively win.
“Ggghg...!” The halberd she struggled against was pushed back, little by little.
A clash between their weapons was a complete loss for Inglis, but a raw test of strength was another story. “Come on! Put more strength into it! Do your best!”
“Grrrahhhggghhh!”
Pffsshhh!
A cloud of smoke suddenly billowed forth from around Maxwell. It was proof that the mana extract was being consumed instead of his life force.
“Mph—!”
Had the giant gotten a little shorter? The rate of consumption of the mana extract was intense.
“Are you okay?” Inglis asked.
But Maxwell answered with a grin. “Ha! You don’t need to worry about me!” The golden halberd form of Charlotte gleamed brightly.
Inglis winced as she squinted at the swelling glow.
