At this moment, she realized another weakness of her talent.
Zeref stood up from the ground, feeling pain all over her body, but she wasn't giving up.
However, just as she climbed out of the pit, she was kicked in the gut again, sending her flying. She quickly released her ice talent, creating a blockade before coming to a stop.
Her appearance had become ragged. Her clothes were dirty, her face was marked with dirt, and her expression was full of frustration. She no longer looked anything like her former self.
Just then, Orion's figure blurred, and he appeared a short distance away from her.
"Is that all you've got?" Orion taunted.
Zeref frowned. "I have one last trick up my sleeve."
She gripped her sword tightly and shouted, "Come forth, Cogitatis."
As she spoke, a golden light beamed from her body, and something emerged. The light dimmed, revealing a mirror in her hand, its edges appearing to be made of gold.
