There was a throbbing sensation on Luna's right leg, and the pain there prevented her from putting a lot of pressure on the leg, but the adrenaline coursing through Luna's veins prevented her from checking the wound to see how bad it was.
Luna knew that one mistake on her part would give Otsu the opening she had been looking for, and that would be the end. Otsu was standing calmly with her knife held in a reverse grip, and she ran her hand across her face and looked down at the blood that was leaking from her nose. She clicked her tongue in irritation and spun the knife around while crouching into a ready stance.
"I will gut you like a squid."
'What the actual fuck?'
Luna was still a bit disoriented, but she managed to keep her guard up even with the pain in her leg and shoulder. Luna was not a novice in hand-to-hand combat. Luna learned hand-to-hand combat from some of the best specialists in the world. She knew that there could always be a time when her opponent could get close enough to engage her in close-quarter combat, and so she prepared against it.
But all of the moves that she learned were meant to be augmented with mana in order to deliver as much damage as possible. Luna was a master at manipulating mana, so even the smallest application of mana would make her simple moves seem like bone-breaking attacks.
As she is now, Luna is not capable of putting power into her punches and kicks because she does not have any control over her mana anymore.
Otsu rushed at Luna, and Luna immediately countered the slash that Otsu released with a kick that pushed Otsu back. Luna grimaced as her leg throbbed, but she still rushed forward and slammed her fist into Otsu's shoulder before dodging as Otsu tried to slash her with her knife again! Luna dodged to the opposite side and punched Otsu in the stomach!
Otsu slammed her elbow into Luna's shoulder before sending a knee into Luna's stomach which made Luna lose all the breath in her lungs! Luna grit her teeth and tackled Otsu off her feet to make her fall back before she grabbed Otsu's head and slammed it into the floor while Luna drove her forehead into Otsu's nose!
Crack!
There was no emotion on her face, and her eyes had this demonic, empty look that made Luna's entire body shiver. Even though Otsu's nose was red and bloody, she didn't look bothered at all as she glared straight at Luna fearlessly.
When Luna looked into those eyes, Luna knew that she was not going to win.
It didn't matter how long they fought for or how much effort Luna put into the battle, there was nothing that Luna could do against Otsu without her mana! Oh well, it was time for her to get out of here.
Mark told her that she didn't need to fight, but she just thought that she should at least try to win against Otsu since she was here. But now that she knew she couldn't win, she was out.
"Wiik-Bat!"
"Wiik! Wiik!"
The Wiik-Bat appeared from the side as Luna called on it, and it chirped in joy as it flapped around her. Luna immediately told it to send a message to Mark, and the Wiik-Bat wasted no time as it sent the message immediately.
SLAM!
The roof of the building suddenly crashed in as Mark tackled Hercules through the glass roof of the dome. His face was twisted into an angry grimace as he slammed Hercules into the ground, but Hercules didn't stay down for long as he kicked Mark off him!
Bam!
Mark was sent reeling back, but he managed to stop himself from flying further back as he prepared to go into the fight again. But the Wiik-Bat suddenly came up to him and told him what Luna had told it, and Mark immediately changed direction as he bolted towards Luna!
