As soon as I explained that the Magesu was beneath our feet, the Sword Sovereign’s collar puffed up.

She assumed a stance with her sword, likely planning to cleave the ground apart.

"Sword Sovereign," I called out.

She turned her head sharply towards me.

"What is it? Are you going to try and stop me?"

"No, just hold out as long as you can. You shouldn’t attack. You’ll need to endure as much as possible."

Even with this unusual request to take the hits, the Sword Sovereign nodded calmly.

"Simple enough. I’ll trust you."

'She trusts my words more than I expected.'

As the Sword Sovereign drew her sword and infused it with mana, she struck the ground with immense force.@@novelbin@@

BOOOM —!!

The earth shattered with a thunderous roar, shaking the heavens and earth.

'...Is the Sword Sovereign unaffected by mana absorption?'

No, that can’t be it. Even if she’s affected, this is her level. I could finally understand why Rina spoke so highly of her.

'But, considering all that, I didn’t receive any proper training from the Sword Sovereign…'

She had only locked me in darkness and starved me. Though I had to move past it quickly due to the urgency of Alice’s situation, this was something to address after everything was over.
