The Cruelest Act (5)

[Sync Rate: 11%]

The Black Veil Master moved first.

A black veil appeared beneath her feet, lifting her into the air.

She hovered above them, raising her arms toward Neli as a soft hum left her lips.

One of Neli's mirrors flickered and disappeared.

Ivaim didn't waste a second.

He threw a [Coin of Fortune] straight at Neli, the coin carrying a touch of misfortune.

Clink!

The coin struck her shoulder.

Neli tensed, her body reacting to the sudden bad luck.

She quickly raised her hand, summoning even more mirrors to block further attacks.

Ivaim narrowed his eyes.

She wasn't fighting them... she was stalling!

'She just wants more time for the sync rate to finish!'

He turned to Darian.

"Does your mother have the same abilities as you?"

Darian hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Yeah. I got them from her... since my father wasn't there."
