187 Thane's Training

"Oi oi oi! What happened to your confidence earlier huh? Brat?! Why aren't you dodging? You would've died by now!" Thane shouted out in sadistic joy while Alice was running as fast as she could. 

Sweat poured from her head as a shadowy beast lunged from behind her.

Rolling forward, Alice was barely able to dodge when it circled back and slammed into her from the ground.

"GAH!!!!" 

"Your recovery is too slow! There's no way a beast will let you recover in time!" He berated while flicking his wrist. 

The shadow mimic of the Amphiptere started to twist in the air as it launched an array of fake metal shards towards Alice who widened her eyes in a panic and slashed out with her blade.

She managed to parry two when a third slammed into her back, launching her towards an array of metal shards.

*CRASH!!!! 

Collapsing on the ground from the impact, Alice wanted to just hug her knees and cry.
