'She got me?' Noa thought with regret.
The first time he died because he allowed the girl.
But his sword betrayed him this second time, leaving him with nothing to defend his neck.
Strength was his only attribute; he had yet to max it out.
Still, it was only one level-up spree away from reaching the limit.
And seeing that she easily harvested his life, Noa shook his nonexistent head in annoyance.
It was his first time losing his life when he wasn't ready for it.
In every other fight, he had always been prepared, and every death was within his expectations.
Not this one.
'Someone who actually beat me deserves my recognition.'
Noa respected her unimaginable talent.
Then another scary thing happened.
[ Echo: 780/1,000 ]
Noa lost two echoes instead of one.
Something like this had never happened, leaving him conflicted.
The only times he lost more echoes were when he killed Klaus and when he refused to revive for a long time.
This was the third time.
