Nina threw the dagger straight through the completed magic circle.
And the moment the blade passed through it… its speed changed. The circle had amplified the force. The dagger now tore through the air with a sound like a whip crack. Almost like a bullet fired from a sniper's barrel, it cut forward in a perfect line.
The fleeing man didn't even have time to react. The dagger struck him cleanly in the back of the head.
Christian's eyes lit up at this display of power, something he didn't quite understand, and Sophia, too, seemed equally surprised.
She, who had been training for nearly forty years now, instantly felt the difference in talent.
She was still a little distance away from the first mastery stage, after all.
And she quietly estimated that, at this rate, she would be surpassed by Nina in no time.
While one harbored a complex feeling, and the other was secretly celebrating the success of a move she had just thought of, the battle finally came to an end.
