Cedric's frown had gotten darker in the past few exchanges he had just had with the Lotus's guardian.
The wolf was not stronger than her; hell, he had even landed multiple clean attacks that should've ended it,
Yet, the creature looked barely harmed.
Cedric, on the other hand, was certain that his mana would quickly run out, which meant that he needed to figure out how the beast remained unharmed.
Unfortunately, he did not have a magic tool that allowed him to see mana, like Adrian.
Otherwise, he'd have realized that the Lotus itself was directly pumping mana into the beast, ensuring that it remained alive to protect it.
Adrian watched as Cedric struggled to take down the wolf, not because he was weaker, but because he still couldn't figure out how to take it down.
The butler contemplated giving him a hand, but he decided otherwise. After all, just like his sister, he hated being treated as weak.
