"Everyone, hide in your rooms and don't come out."
Phoenix gripped her dagger in a reverse hold and charged forward.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The two clashed, their dagger and claws colliding and sending sparks flying.
The woman in the black robe was not weak. In terms of both speed and strength, she had a clear edge over Phoenix. However, in terms of combat skill and experience, she was far inferior.
She's like a character from a martial arts novel—someone who never learned martial arts but suddenly acquired an extraordinary ability without the slightest clue how to use it.
Even though the woman was stronger and faster, Phoenix's experience and skill allowed her to hold her own. The two fought fiercely in the living room. Gusts of energy radiated from their battle, tearing through the hall like a tempest and wrecking everything in its path. The woman's claws were extremely sharp, slicing through anything they touched.
