High above the skies of the Velastra Research Facility, storm clouds crackled faintly in the distance.
Mirelle hovered alone in the air, her mana flaring like a radiant sun, illuminating the dark veil that had suddenly surrounded her. Her eyes darted left and right, seemingly trying to discern the opponents' position.
Except, there was nothing to discern.
It was utterly silent, almost as if there were no one in the skies besides her.
'How professional are these people? I can't even detect them with my magic perception.' Mirelle furrowed her brows. She was truly astonished by these people's abilities and wondered if they had been lurking all along.
This kind of stealth and concealment was a far cry from the earlier lurkers whom she had easily perceived and neutralized.
Alas, her moment of distraction in trying to compare the two opened a slight window of weakness.
The opponents were swift and efficient in catching any slight window of opportunity.
SHNK!
