We Have to Beat Them
"You...!"
With Attila's appearance, Stella and Shizuku shot to their feet as if jolted, their faces filled with shock.
Although they had witnessed it once before, Attila's ability to appear without a sound or any sign of her presence was extremely unsettling to any Blade-Breaker.
Shinguji Kuroono and Nishikyo Neone had said so themselves: if Attila could truly appear and disappear like this without being noticed by anyone—not even them—then just how terrifying would that be?
Her strength was already astonishing. Add this ability to appear and disappear without a trace, and the thought of a multicolored Light Sword cleaving down while they remained completely unaware was enough to unsettle any Blade-Breaker.
That was exactly how Stella and Shizuku felt. This was a dormitory, and they were inside a bedroom, yet Attila had still appeared without a sound or being detected by anyone. It was enough to set their nerves on edge.
What Stella and Shizuku did not know was that Attila's ability to appear and disappear without a trace was not some miraculous power. She could simply switch freely between materialized and spiritual forms.
Once Attila became spiritual, she was no different from an invisible ghost. Unless one was an advanced medium with a special sensitivity to beings such as spirits, like La Folia, only an exceptionally capable Master or Servant could detect Attila's presence.
Of course, Attila had no need to explain this. She had not even looked at Stella or Shizuku from beginning to end, nor had she paid any attention to Luo Zhen beside them. She merely watched Ikki.
"As I said just now, I only fight. All I can do is fight. The only thing I can do is show you my strength and slay you with everything I have.
