The butterfly lady flinched, and her eyes flickered. She looked pensive, as if she was making a decision. Vale could almost see her brain work, weighing whether she should fight him or not. If it was going to be worth it.
She thought he was using an Artifact, and although she's a weak Master Knight, she's still a Master Knight, and she liked her chances of fighting him better than just retreating.
Vale did not fault her. Knights have incredible will; they have to if they want to walk the path they're walking.
Her wings flared, and she took into the air with a wordless scream. A sword appeared in her hand.
But Vale didn't look up at her. Instead, his flat gaze remained on her previous position on the ground. In his eyes, there were now two of them, one in the air and the other swiftly approaching him.
Again, she was using an illusion, but the Infernal Dominion suffered no illusion.
