Chapter 165: Run

Thessa tried her best to follow the battle. Although she had said that she would support from the back, the speed was too much for her. While she could still track it, attacking precisely was another matter entirely.

She had decided fairly early on that she would simply pose a threat, remaining a shadow at the back of Jodie's mind. If she ever actually attacked, the fourth-ranked Core Disciple would find out pretty quickly that she wasn't actually a threat.

As for the two guards by her side, she knew they wouldn't attack even if she told them to. With three of them gone, their focus right now was definitely her safety first and foremost. They were on high alert for anyone that might try to sneak attack them.

In this low visibility, they were even more on alert than usual.

That was why when a young man suddenly appeared to their backs, they noticed him the moment the vague outline of a shadow took shape.

They immediately turned, their blades brandished. The sound of unsheathing weapons caught the attention of the three protectors locked in combat with Jodie, but they didn't have the luxury of seeing what was going on.

The shadow suddenly accelerated. When they felt its aura, their expressions all changed at once.

What was going on? That aura, it was at least of the Fifth Silver Resonance. But there shouldn't be anyone here that powerful outside of the Core Disciples and Selena. Did Dorian or Vaeilina return?

The two pivoted, standing shoulder to shoulder to protect Thessa's back.
