"Anyone else who insists on opposing us besides Simon McKinley?"
As Carlotta spoke, she displayed incomparable speed, flashing behind Simon in an instant and slashing her sword toward him.
Simon's heart jolted. He quickly sidestepped while activating his Northern Knight movement skills, using a strange force to attempt distorting Carlotta's attack and throw off her angle.
Carlotta was no stranger to such techniques, Fourth Movement Elven Dance could achieve similar effects, so she knew exactly how to respond.
She immediately activated Elven Dance, generating a countering force that canceled out Simon's.
Her attack then pierced straight through Simon's shoulder, slicing away a chunk of flesh.
"Ah!"
Simon cried out in pain, quickly retreating with a ghastly expression.
He knew Carlotta had been aiming for his head. If he hadn't dodged just in time, his head would've already rolled.
"We're withdrawing. We won't compete for the treasure site anymore."
