Li sighed, scratched the back of her head. "How did you… well, it doesn't matter anymore. I was going to tell you anyway." She then took a single step forward, and her entire body flashed toward Mathilde with a spinning kick.
Mathilde lifted her arm to block the kick, but Li's leg bent around Mathilde's defence and hit her on the back of the head. The shockwave alone was enough to shatter the ground around them, but what made the kick even worse was that Li grabbed Mathilde's hair with her toes and smacked her to the ground in the next move.
"The reason those monks from the temple that Noel destroyed wanted me was because of their blood. They worship our progenitor Core, and to them, I am something like his successor." Li stared at Mathilde who was on the ground. "Did that take you by surprise."
