Chapter 639: Guardian
Azoth responded instantly—her sword flaring as it deflected the ray.
Then came another invisible blade. This time, Charles met it with [Sphere of Invulnerability] and blocked the attack.
At once, he activated [False Blink], vanishing in an instant, and reappeared before the illusion.
Before she could move, he cast Chaos Eye again—this time aiming for her eye—and simultaneously unleashed Soul Shock, targeting the hidden soul shard.
An invisible force tried to protect it, but his Soul Fire pierced through, dealing a precise strike.
The illusion froze.
Then, the chaos ray struck its forehead. A burst of fiery energy erupted. The illusionary Azoth fractured—dream essence dissipating like mist in the wind.
A slow clap echoed from above.
Charles looked up.
The real Azoth stepped out from the shadows, her face serene.
"Nice to meet you, Charles Nightwind," she said in the Blen language, her tone warm with amusement. "You're not as disappointing as I feared."
