A green card materialized and transformed into the Spirit Bird which flew towards Marlene's flank. The girl was completely oblivious to the attack. Her faith in her storm guard was absolute, and she figured that if he attacked, she would immediately counter-attack.

Screech! Alas… due to her ignorance and overreliance on her spells, when a cry suddenly echoed from behind, she was dumbfounded.

She subconsciously turned around to check, but when she did, a huge gust of wind slammed into her.

The storm guard could indeed block most of the damage, but unfortunately, Rhode had used the most simple and most efficient way to counter it. For a creature of the wind, even if faced a raging hurricane, it would be nothing more than like a fish swimming in the sea.
