Kuang...!

As soon as Ricardo instinctively evaded, a tremendous roar broke through the air and struck his ear.

The tip of his red hair, scattered in the air, was cut off helplessly.

It was dazzling, as the bright red petals mixed with the red blood drops scattered across the field of view.

Ricardo, who had evaded, looked back and saw a sharp thorny vine that had pierced where he had been standing a while ago, biting behind him like a green snake.

At the same time, fragments of the broken wall fell over.

Dried blood spilled along the long scar on Ricardo's cheek.

It might have been really dangerous if too slow to avoid it.

This was the first time Ricardo was facing Hilise's power upfront, which was stronger than expected.

But what was most shocking was the fact that Hilise had attacked him.

"Hilise, you..."

Ricardo turned his stiff face to Hilise, still sitting quietly by the window.

Hilise had an indifferent face as if telling him he had done something wrong a while ago.

It roughly scraped Ricardo's ego.

"What is this? Are you crazy?"

Hilise said to Ricardo, who was frozen in his seat.

"I just had to show it myself because I don't think you can understand it in words."

Ricardo opened his lips, trying to oppose what she said.

However, the moment he felt the intense energy lurking around Hilise, the words that struck his throat were swallowed up.

"If I really attacked her, there's no way there wouldn't be a single scratch."

Is this really the power of a person who has just awakened?

Surprisingly, Hilise already seemed to be able to use her power freely.

Seeing that she had not been awakened for a long time, she indeed had amazing potential.

At that very moment, Ricardo felt a strange feeling inside his heart that he had never thought he would ever experience in his life.

The fact that the power that Ricardo had never doubted would be his for as long as he was living.

However, now it was inherited by his sister, Hilise, not him, and the evidence was shown in front of him.

In an instant, Ricardo's face was filled with a complicated feeling of faint anger and loss.

Hilise also saw it.

Probably if it were in the past, she would've been considerate of Ricardo.

But now, no matter what Ricardo was thinking, it didn't matter to Hilise anymore.

Though, unexpectedly, the deepest engraving in Ricardo's mind at this moment seemed to be something else.

Subsequently, a heavy voice echoed in the room full of silence.

"...If I hadn't avoided it, I could have been really seriously injured."

Still, Ricardo said as if it didn't matter.

Hilise saw right through it and laughed.

Even Ricardo saw that thin laugh came from her small lips.
