Viona quickly arrived on the battlefield by riding the Golden Dragon. Just like Lord Tang said, the battle was not over yet. Yoram City's force collided with The Empire's force right outside the wall. Different from the previous battle where the city's force passively defended their wall, Yoram City's force brought the fight outside the wall.
"Will you join the battle too, Mr. Wrath?" Viona asked the Golden Dragon respectfully. If the Dragon joined the battle, the Empire would easily turn the tide of the battle.
"No. I am not allowed to kill these weaklings by Master. Weaklings fight the weaklings, that was what my Master told me, so I will not join the battle, Woman." Wrath shook his head and located a spot to land. "Get ready to land, Woman! I will have you landed next to the enemy force."
To her surprise, no one noticed a giant dragon landing next to them. Viona looked around, and no one looked at her or the dragon as if the dragon did not exist. 'Huh!? What is this? Can't they see me?' She was confused because they completely ignored her and the dragon.
"We are in my invisibility spell, Woman. They can't see us, so quickly get off my back before I throw you away." Wrath squinted his eyes at the woman on his back. Viona nodded her head and jumped off. She landed next to Yoram City's force, and the four knights looked at her as they gasped in surprise.
Viona froze for a moment before she immediately activated her movement skill, [Shadow Step]. She disappeared in her shadow and jumped out of one of the knights' shadows. She thrust her sword into the knight's back of the head and immediately pulled it out. As the knight fell to the ground, the other three knights turned in her direction.
Viona immediately executed the next skill, [Shadow Blade]. Her shadow turned into the scythe's blade and cut through the three knight's bodies. The three knights' upper bodies fell to the side as blood spurted out. Their organs spilled over, but Viona immediately looked away. She just could not see such a scene for too long, or she was afraid that she would pass out again like before.
[You have leveled up!]
[You gained 8 Attribute Points!]

The notifications caused Viona to smile even though she was scared of the dead bodies just now. The notification was an indication that she had grown even stronger by days.
—That's a significant improvement as I don't have to give you instructions anymore. However, using too many skills is not good since you have limited mana. I don't ask you to reserve your mana, but use the skill moderately, or just use the skill just for emergencies.
Lilliana spoke in Viona's head. Even though Viona did well in killing four knights, Lilliana thought Viona could do better than that. She did not want Viona to become too reliant on the skills. Viona was a knight, after all, not a mage. Lilliana was trying to teach Viona to use the skill effectively.
"Noted." Viona nodded her head. "I just want to try a new skill." After saying that, she scanned around and looked for her new prey. The battle was in chaos, and she did not notice any formation as the knight and the beast brawled to death.
She quickly realized that she was not in a good position. The Golden Dragon dropped her on the enemy side as she saw more knights from Yoram City instead of the beast and beastmen. There was no need for her to look for the new prey as they came for her.
Two knights came from the front, one from the right, two from the left, and three from the back. The knights quickly surrounded her from all directions, cutting her ways to retreat. 'I am screwed. I can use the skill, right, Lilliana?'
—I am not preventing you from using the skill, but I am asking you to use the skill effectively. Use the low mana cost skill, use [Guardian Rush] to the right.
Viona followed the instruction and turned to the right. She did not hesitate to activate the skill and rush toward the lone knight with her shield. The knight raised his shield as well, and their shields clashed.
The loud noise of the two shields rang in the air. The loud noise stunned the other knights for a brief moment as they witnessed their friends get knocked seven meters backward. Viona followed with another normal rush and stepped her right foot on the knight's chest. After that, she stabbed the knight in the neck and pulled it to the side.
The knight let out an unclear gurgle as his body shook for a moment before he stopped moving completely. Viona turned around as two knights rushed toward her with an angry roar. It seemed she had just killed their friend, so they angrily rushed toward her.
—Don't copy these knights. Don't let anger cloud your judgment in the battle. Look at them! They lowered their guard and focused on an all-out attack.
Indeed, the knight raised their swords, but they three their shields away as they came to her. The two knights' swords were glowing terrifyingly, though. 'I will die if those two swords hit me.' For some reason, she was calmer compared to her first battle.
When the two knights were two meters away from her, one of the knights swung the sword toward her neck, and the other one thrust his sword toward her heart. Viona took a light step to the right, and her movement was sudden and relatively fast for the two knights. She avoided the attack cleanly.
Viona eyed the small gap of the armor on the knight's neck. She quickly thrust her sword with all her might. The sword pierced through the neck and went through to the other side. The sword did not stop and pierced the second knight's neck as well. She quickly pulled the sword out after that and leaped backward a few meters away.
The two knights slowly fell to the side as blood squirted out through their necks.
