The fight continued as Jax watched the two girls in action.
Lavinia was playing with her enemies. Slicing their throats with short daggers and precise movements that looked more like a dance than combat. Every kill was clean. Every step calculated. But nothing about her fighting told Jax why the system had flagged her level as beyond his reading.
Then there was Delphine who was taking out her anger on the poor monsters. One troll had more than fifty arrows sticking out of its body and was laid suspended in the air because the arrows themselves had become its platform. Pinned to a tree like some grotesque art installation.
Delphine even deliberately missed a scared goblin that was trying to flee. Instead her arrows hit the same tree behind Jax over and over and over until the trunk gave way from the impact and started falling directly on top of him while he was busy writing scores on his sheet.
She did it on purpose. And had a smile to prove it.
