It hadn't escaped Pride's notice that Roselia had done something in Laurene's direction. However, she couldn't tell exactly what Roselia had done.
As for Laurene, the tiny bolt of demonic energy Roselia had sent suddenly zipped through space, slipped past her magic barrier, and almost collided with her head before she raised a hand and blocked it.
The instant it touched her palm, she felt the demonic energy transform into something physical, and when she opened her palm, she found a small piece of paper in the centre.
Written on it were only two words.
"Hide." "Snipe."
The moment her eyes finished reading them, white flames erupted across the paper, reducing it to ashes.
At that exact moment, Roselia and Pride dashed toward each other once more, flames blazing along their swords as they simultaneously used their Origin Sword Style, swinging their blades toward one another.
""Flames of Hubris.""
