  Elaine was about to use her **finishing move.**

  **"Frozen Execution."**

  She pointed her rapier at me, and the ice storm **descended.**

  A thousand **spears of ice** rained down.

  The temperature dropped to the point where my breath froze midair.

  If I took this head-on, I was **dead.**

  But I wasn’t planning to.

  I activated **Shadow Veil (Lv.1).**

  **FWOOOOSH!**

  My presence **vanished.**

  Elaine’s eyes widened—just slightly.

  I reappeared **right behind her.**

  **"Nice move."**

  She turned just in time to see my **Berserker Sword** slamming down.

  **BOOOOOOOM!**
