The moment Kana's aura exploded, and she vanished from his sight, Julian's eyes narrowed and became serious; if she wanted to beat him, that was fine.
However, this was a clear killing blow.
Whether he felt guilty or loved her, it didn't matter.
'Sena... this is too far.'
He hopped on the spot, while breathing in quick bursts, his fists raised defensively as if ready to strike at any second.
'She's fast.'
As the air shifted around him, Julian could feel an oppressive force pressing against him like razor-sharp leaves blowing across his cheeks, creating small cuts.
Sena's fierce Aura struck him first before she dashed 8 yards, before unsheathing her blade rapidly.
"I love you, but I am not perfect...!"
—Shadow's Grasp!
The instant before she entered the perfect range to attack him, Julian clenched his fist, as dark shadowy hands gripped her thighs, anchoring Sena to the ground.
"Y-You?!"
*Woosh!*
