Conversely, Edith recoiled three steps, her pallor markedly ashen.

Assessment of the outcome lent credence to Edith’s superior strength.

"The Palace Mistress reigns supreme!" "Master’s prowess is astonishing!"

Jade Girl Palace disciples rejoiced, faces alight with glee.

"Hearty laughter… Old fool, audacious enough to challenge my Master! You’ve overstepped your bounds!"

Brittany Cloude guffawed, triumphant.

Yet even as she concluded, Edith expelled a spurt of blood, crumpling to the brink of collapse.

"Master!"

"Palace Mistress!"

A startled chorus ensued as concerned hands propped up Edith’s tottering form.

Though her might exceeded, an old internal injury flared anew, this touch of palms rekindling her ailment.

"Desist, cease!"

Nikki rushed over to stop Edith.

"Madam Edith, you haven’t recovered yet! Please stop!"

"Damn it, brat!"

Infuriated, Edith slapped Nikki across the face.

"If it weren’t for the incomplete scripture you gave me, I wouldn’t have gone to extremes in training and gotten injured!"

"I-it wasn’t me… Nikki held her cheek and shook her head frantically.

"Stop lying’" Edith shouted.

"How did that bastard get his hands on the Jade Maiden Scripture? I’m sure you were the one who stole it and gave it to him. You ungrateful bitch!"

"I didn’t!" Nikki denied anxiously.

"I see what you’re up to, Nikki Horst. You gave Madam Edith the incomplete scripture and gave that bastard the real one. You’re such a bitch!"

"I thought you were a loyal disciple. It turns out you’re just a backstabber who betrayed us!"

"Enough with the acting. You make me sick!"

Instantly, the Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples began cursing at Nikki.
