Along with love, she also has his acknowledgment.

The Battle ended as Astaria was sent flying.

She was doing well for the first 15 minutes and was able to hold on against Nawdren, this time, the Sword the shine around her sword was dimmer than the first time she used it, however, it was much more stable.

The output wasn't as strong, however, Astaria knew that last time, she was simply wasting Mana.

She still couldn't control this technique very well, therefore, she was limiting the Mana she feeds the sword with. The output was compromised, however, her control was better.

And honestly, even this 'controlled' and 'limited' strength was very much enough to cut through Nawdren's defenses.

In this last month, Astaria hadn't made much progress.
