Under the gaze of the crowd, a golden long knife in Alice's hand flashed with a blinding glimmer, and a fierce blade aura, as relentless as a howling wind, surged toward Alan.
The speed of this strike was astonishing, almost imperceptible to the naked eye; however, in Alan's perception, Alice's level had been suppressed below tier-bronze.
Alan's expression suddenly turned serious.
Although the magus class was widely recognized as the strongest mage class by various powers, there were still some elite classes whose combat power rivaled that of a magus. Alice was clearly one of those exceptional swordmasters!
Swish!
The blade narrowly grazed Alan's throat; had it not been for his keen soul perception, he would not have been able to dodge it.
However, before Alan could relax, Alice's long knife, having missed its target, struck again with a twist of her wrist.
The moves were simple and unadorned but deadly, striking as swiftly as lightning!
