Elina let out a small sigh when she saw the shadow appear.
With its presence here, she no longer needed to worry about being attacked by the assassin.
"I'm sorry for troubling you," Elina said as she tried to get up.
The pain from the assassin's blow had subsided, but it still felt sharp.
The shadow—none other than Malverna—shook her head.
"It's okay. It's my job to protect you. Now, go back. Let me handle this," she replied indifferently.
Elina nodded slightly. Without saying anything else, she turned and ran toward her mansion.
The man was surprised and wanted to chase after her, but his steps were immediately blocked by Malverna.
"I am your opponent," she declared coldly.
"Who are you?" The man narrowed his eyes warily.
He could feel the terrifying power coming from her. The shadow slowly transformed into a very beautiful woman.
"You don't need to know who I am. What's important now is that I'm going to teach you a lesson, you weak demon." Malverna smiled slightly.
