Isn't This a Bit...

The sudden turn of events made countless onlookers' eyes widen. They looked as though they had seen a ghost.

Shimada Yukimi's expression was especially telling.

The instant Xilos appeared beside Wen Ke'er, an intense golden light nearly burst from Shimada Yukimi's eyes. If Xilos hadn't been focused entirely on Wen Ke'er, and if Shimada Yukimi hadn't reacted in time,

she might have ended up no better off than Wen Ke'er.

That woman's aura is incredibly powerful.

Winnie's voice sounded anxious in Shimada Yukimi's mind.

Any woman who could draw that reaction from her was someone she couldn't handle right now!

"That powerful?"

After a moment's shock, Shimada Yukimi fixed her gaze on the woman radiating searing heat.

Winnie's reaction had gone far beyond what she'd expected.

Still, it was only natural.

After all, only beings who could so much as brush against Xilos's level had any right to gauge her strength.

If not for Winnie, Shimada Yukimi wouldn't even have been able to stand here alive.

That scorching heat from earlier, like nine suns overhead, would have vaporized her on the spot!

But now,

with the figure a little closer, Shimada Yukimi could see her clearly through the flames.

The woman called Xilos wore a strapless red robe.

Her ample figure was enough to make nearly any woman jealous, and her face was breathtaking.

If Shimada Yukimi hadn't been certain of her own preferences, one look at Xilos's face beneath the flames might have made her fall for her.

It was a face that could captivate men and women alike.

Her striking features held a rare, masculine boldness. They seemed carved from jade, with deep red pupils edged in black and phoenix-like eyes. Xilos had a bearing unlike any woman Shimada Yukimi had ever seen!

Both were Elves.
