Bella and Medusa had been locked in a stalemate for a long time. Their powers were evenly matched.
Both of their lips were cracked and pale, blood dripping from the corners due to strain and exhaustion.
If it were not for Bella's Life Tree, she would never have lasted this long.
Fighting while avoiding direct eye contact with the enemy was incredibly difficult.
But when Aegis arrived at the battlefield, standing several miles away, Bella's eyes instinctively turned toward him.
Even though the distance was vast, to a God Physique holder, it meant nothing.
"Arlan!"
She saw Aegis's face and froze for a split second.
Bella thought she was dreaming, yet it felt too real, as if he were just within arm's reach.
But in that brief moment of distraction, Medusa struck.
Her face abruptly filled Bella's vision, blocking everything else.
Bella's gaze was forcibly drawn to Medusa's third eye.
In an instant, something foreign invaded her body.
