Meira's Determination

Just as Irethiel was about to land a final blow on Meira, Meira's aura suddenly flared up once again, her snake tattoo glowing with intense blue light.

Startled, I watched as Meira seized the opportunity and lunged forward with a powerful strike.

SWAP—

Irethiel tried to counter, but in that split second, I acted on instinct and swapped my location with Irethiel's, causing Meira's body to jolt and stop in her attack from just an inch away from my neck.

I held my breath as her dagger trembled for a moment before she fell unconscious in my arms.

In the end, it appeared that Meira had lost control over her powers, similar to Tania when she lost control at the end of her fight with Mika.

And Meira's attack stopped when it neared me because she couldn't harm me, her master. As she is my servant bound by a contract which prohibits her from harming me.
