Sato heaved a sigh, releasing his grip on her hands and took a step back. "I understand that it's difficult for you to believe me, but I have encountered powerful witches who might vouch for me," he explained, his tone calm and resolute.
Arina's response was sharp and biting. "You've got a rather audacious tongue for a mere human," she retorted, her voice carrying a mix of skepticism and disdain.
As Sato observed the immense surge of magic energy radiating from Arina's body, a surge of wind erupted around them, causing his eyes to widen in astonishment. The glow emanating from Arina's eyes intensified, casting an ethereal illumination in the midst of the tempestuous atmosphere.
