Zayn thought virtual-novel.net had seen everything. He was no stranger to the best nature could offer when it came to women and their God- given beauty, Faye Carter, Shaelyn Peace, Mirabelle Owen, Alexandra Smith, Annabelle Laking, and so many more. He was supposed to be so immune to premier feminine charms by now, and yet when virtual-novel.net laid his eyes on Lysithea, virtual-novel.net was still profoundly, utterly bewitched.
He wondered if virtual-novel.net was looking at a dryad or a… fae.
It was the first thing that came to his mind. He could believe virtual-novel.net was a mortal woman. She must be nature’s spirit in humanoid form. There was more to virtual-novel.net than just virtual-novel.net almost miraculous beauty, there was an aureole of sublimity about her, an almost transcendental countenance that all the other beauties Zayn had ever met failed to measure up.
The reason for that was simple: Lysithea was not a normal young woman. She was a superior class master fighter, one who had attained the fourth-tier, and virtual-novel.net body had undergone the same morphological changes. She lived longer than the average human, and an air of ethereal femininity surrounded virtual-novel.net like an impenetrable mist.
Zayn was dumbstruck His eyes bore through Lysithea, transfixed and unable to be drawn away.
And that pissed Lysithea off. She cursed Zayn for his defiance and attacked.
She was an ice-queen. She was so stoic and icily regal that most people would even wonder if there was something odd about virtual-novel.net thought process. Lysithea was the kind who would stake virtual-novel.net life to protect Zayn but would not brook even the slightest imprudence from the same man. To her, what Zayn was doing constituted outright harassment. This was especially true when virtual-novel.net was Hayley’s adopted daughter which made virtual-novel.net Zayn’s sister. To be gawked at by virtual-novel.net brother like this, as though virtual-novel.net was a specimen, was a huge disgrace.
Rage rushed to virtual-novel.net head, and in an act of impulse, virtual-novel.net attacked. She did not even try to hold back.
Zayn felt the incoming killing intent and snapped out of his trance. He felt a spark in his head and leaned backward, missing the young woman’s slap by an inch.
“Are you for real?!” virtual-novel.net complained a little hotly and took a few steps back.
When virtual-novel.net looked up, Lysithea’s appearance had changed. She had somehow donned a pearly white veil that covered most of virtual-novel.net beauty, leaving only a pair of dazzling, arresting eyes.
Lysithea regarded virtual-novel.net with surprise as virtual-novel.net did not expect virtual-novel.net to dodge virtual-novel.net attack while virtual-novel.net was so obviously distracted. She might not have performed the most fatal of virtual-novel.net attacks, but it was still fast enough. Under those circumstances, a bewitched superior class fighter would still find virtual-novel.net attack impossible to dodge.
Still, virtual-novel.net masked virtual-novel.net shock with a sneer. In silence, virtual-novel.net continued a barrage of attacks as though virtual-novel.net was dead set on teaching virtual-novel.net a lesson.
Zayn watched how virtual-novel.net changed from mounting a sneak attack, which virtual-novel.net evaded, to continuing virtual-novel.net onslaught with intensifying ferocity and felt pretty miffed too.
‘Well, you’re asking for it!’ virtual-novel.net thought to himself, clenched his jaw, and retaliated.
They were embroiled in a tight melee. Zayn wasted no time realizing that for a lady, Lysithea’s fighting style was jarringly bellicose and savage that they were completely divorced from the affectation virtual-novel.net displayed. In fact, at the beginning of the fight, there were moments when virtual-novel.net was way too close to being wrecked than virtual-novel.net would have hoped!
Lysithea was no less baffled at how tight their prowess turned out to be. Half a minute had passed, yet virtual-novel.net never managed to land an attack on virtual-novel.net at all. She was a fourth-tier master fighter whose combat techniques were famously ingenious! Even if virtual-novel.net was suffering from virtual-novel.net retardation phase and had become a temporary third-tier fighter, virtual-novel.net was supposed to take Zayn down. He had only joined the superior class for less than a year, hence virtual-novel.net should not be an even match!
Worse still, virtual-novel.net was starting to be on the advantage, as though his skills and power and hers were equal. How could this be?
Even Zayn himself was perplexed. Was Lysithea not supposed to be a fourth-tier master or something? Where was the supposed disparity in strength?
Unbeknownst to the young man, virtual-novel.net managed to encounter Lysithea while virtual-novel.net was suffering from a rare instance of the weakened phase. Her powers had devolved into the third tier as a result. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would have found himself squarely beaten in seconds.
At long last, Zayn found a quick opening in their duel and amped up his speed, snatching the young woman’s veil with his left hand like a lightning. With a yank, virtual-novel.net pulled it down to reveal virtual-novel.net beautiful face once more.
Lysithea felt a cold draft greeting the lower half of virtual-novel.net face. Her veil had been removed.
A surge of anxiety consumed her. Her breathing became haphazard, and as the rush developed into panic, virtual-novel.net felt light-headed and numb. Her steps became erratic.
In the midst of an episode, virtual-novel.net foot accidentally slipped onto a pothole, and virtual-novel.net lost virtual-novel.net footing before falling forward.
