CASTELLAN OF A FALLEN HOUSE

“Good!” she exclaimed. “You want to fight? Then I shall offer you a fight!”

She knew that she shouldn’t be exposing her cover.

But the prize was simply too great.

“Reform!” she bellowed.

Tom marveled as the shattered crystalline shards that had comprised the defensive sphere rushed back to the silver-haired woman.

He naturally wanted to interfere in the process, but the shards were too numerous and moved too swiftly for him to knock them out of the sky.

He had made a gross misjudgment by assuming that he had destroyed the crystalline sphere in its entirety—although the cumulative impact of his blows was nothing to be trifled with, they had all been focused upon a single region; there was no reason why the shield should have exploded into as many fragments as it had.

“Shardweave Regalia,” her sonorous voice rang out with aplomb as she outstretched her right hand. Tom watched as an effulgent crystalline rapier finished forming in her right hand, but that was not truly what had snatched away his attention.

Her silver hair juxtaposed nicely with the regal crystal breastplate she had donned. If it stopped there, Tom wouldn’t be as dismayed as he was—crystalline leggings had encrusted any vulnerabilities, and a spiky skirt that was lined with the sharpest fragments made her even more difficult to approach.

The air of poise and grace that swirled around her would make her unapproachable to most, but Tom refused to yield to her imposing presence.

“Prepare yourself!” She offered a warning before stomping her right foot forward. The rebound force generated by her immense strength sent her propelling forward, right at Tom.

Castellan of the Fallen House.

Tom had thought that his two Nether Blades coupled with [Haste] would be enough to hold the charging woman at bay, but her swordplay was… simply beyond anything he’d experienced since stepping upon Artezia’s lands.

He would barely manage to parry a slash with two crossed swords when a second thrust would follow from a different angle. Rend sent purple sparks flying as it made contact with the crystal rapier, but its lattice had been compressed to the point where even a Nether tainted blade couldn’t scratch it.

Step by step, he was pushed back without being able to offer resistance—though he was the one that wielded two blades, the silver-haired woman was achieving a similar effect with one hand held behind her back.

“God damn berserker!” Tom screamed as a Nether Blade—the one held in his left hand was swatted away by her rapier. Or rather, Tom was the one who allowed it to be swatted away, as his Revenant Claw unleashed a torrent of scathing flames at close range.

Refusing to underestimate the silver-haired woman, Tom backpedaled as fast as he could without leaving the range of [The Flame].

A minute later, he canceled his ability as a terrible unease washed over him.

As the scene began to clear, a circle of steam exploded outward from the site of the impact.

“No way…” Tom muttered, his breath seizing in his throat and his gaze betraying his utter disbelief.
