Ininise was ready to fight. She would have to bear the burden of facing two climbers at the same time.
"So be it…"
She didn't wait for them to attack. Instead, she launched herself forward first, her spear aimed directly at the physically weaker one, Anastasia, because she knew Vladimir would have to protect her.
Vladimir's body appeared before Ininise, large and imposing, a natural barrier. Yet she didn't feel threatened anymore. She had already understood Vladimir's ability… a regenerative factor.
Vladimir tried to counter Ininise's attack.
But when it came to close combat, Ininise held the advantage.
She lowered her body while driving her spear upward. A strike to the head was far too difficult to land, especially against someone with a warrior's reflexes, so Ininise aimed to pierce him once more.
An ominous sensation struck her. The entire time, she had been reading the minds of those two people.
