It turned out her choice was simple: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

Vignis maintained a focused look as she abandoned her defences and put her all into her sword-and-dagger assault from above and below, causing Lars to be shocked.

In that split second, he ended up being the one who was forced to withdraw his blow halfway, incurring injuries to his muscles as he strained them to get out of the way all of a sudden. He burst his mana through his body to stop his advance and even triggered flight to send his body up and out of the way.

Finally, Vignis could only click her tongue in disappointment as Lars twisted his body sideways to slip past her dual strike and float up into the air.

However, because of the sudden impulse on his body coming from the change in directions, the inertia also ended up twisting his muscles, causing them to be sore and weakened for at least 15 seconds while he healed himself!
