Cid - Gaslighting 2

“Hrrraaaaahhhhhhh!!”

She roars in an attempt to dispel her hesitation.

After rocking back and forth, she puts one foot forward. It’s the fastest step she’s ever taken.

His gaze shifts, as though implying something.

“…Aahhhhhhh!!”

The moment it does, Iris’s instincts force her to stop.

Doing so places a massive strain on her body, and her knee joints make an unpleasant noise.

She stops in spite of that, then practically tumbles backward.

She’s certain she just saw Mundane’s sword running her through.

“No…”

However, her chest doesn’t have a scratch.

There’s no sign Mundane’s weapon ever moved.

“You’re kidding…”
