Fighting Liliana (3)

Leo stood barely upright, his body broken and battered, held together only by his sheer will.

His breathing came in shallow, ragged gasps. His vision blurred, with Nightshade slipping from his hand, due to his weak trembling fingers being unable to hold it anymore.

Lilliana stood across from him, her expression unreadable. The faint cut Leo had managed to inflict on her leg was the only mark on her flawless appearance.

Her violet eyes glimmered with cold amusement, but beneath that was extremely annoyance at Leo refusing to accept defeat after all the trashing she has given to him.

But she was infuriated by the fact that a mere Awakened, an insect from a backwater world, managed to inflict an injury on her.

She felt that the reason why he was able to injure her was because of the weapon in his hands. A weapon that Tatiana gave him as there was no way that he would have gotten such a weapon by himself in a backwater world.
