"Haaaa-!"
Hazel let out a war cry and shot at the automaton at a faster speed.
Bang!
She crashed into it, her sword pressing tightly against its chest as it strained to push her back.
'That golden glow…'
From the sidelines, Kaiser noted the subtle improvement in her physical ability.
This was clearly a result of her awakened ability.
After a few seconds, the automaton successfully pushed her back, creating some distance between them.
Hazel's eyes darkened, and she took quick steps forward, striking at the automaton from different angles.
It was a technique taught in the Pegasus Empire's Imperial Army, aimed at overwhelming the opponent and forcing them into a defensive stance.
Unfortunately, that didn't work on the level five automaton.
It confidently responded to every one of her attacks, and even delivered a decisive strike at her midsection.
Hazel immediately abandoned her attack, twisting her wrist painfully so she could use her sword to block the attack.
Clang!
