Chapter 479: Stop calling her incompetent

Cackling wildly, Nirvana swung her blazing mace at Melina, intent on smashing her arms. Her strike was fierce and swift, meant to overpower her opponent before she could react. After all, from what Nirvana knew, Melina was a poor swordswoman. She was talented at magic, but that only meant something when she was at range.

In close combat, Nirvana was confident of crushing Melina. She hadn't got the skills for swordsmanship, after all…

Clang!

"…eh?!"

To Nirvana's complete surprise, Melina parried her mace and knocked her back in one, fluid strike. The blond swordswoman stared at her stunned opponent with a cool, unwavering gaze, refusing to falter. Nirvana clumsily tumbled onto the ground with a huge crash, ending up in an undignified heap.
