Don't even mention how surprised Wald XVIII was.
Xu Shuo himself couldn't quite understand—why on earth would Catalina show up to help him at a time like this? Had this elf lost her sanity from reading the Holy Book of Light too many times?
But he decided not to respond.
Right now, all he wanted was to lie face down on the ground and play dead.
It had taken him so much effort to make Wald XVIII believe he was out of tricks, thus lulling the opponent into lowering his guard, only for a random Ice and Snow Elf to suddenly pop out.
Xu Shuo didn't even know what to complain about anymore.
Although, admittedly, Catalina was indeed useful.
But this was definitely not the right time for her to appear.
…
The battlefield of the city-state dimmed.
Without the glow of the Power of Light, the winter night returned to its rightful pitch-black silence.
