"Ouch——!!!"
In reality, Mengdie's leg strength at this moment wasn't great, but with her impeccable technique and incredible acceleration, she managed to make the white shadow's nose bleed!
The pain on his nose made his nerves tense. He reached out, trying to grab the girl in front of him, but ended up clutching at air! Mengdie's knee strike was more than just an attack. She grabbed the white shadow's head, flipped over his head, and used the momentum to lift him off the ground!
With a "boom," it was now the white shadow's turn to faceplant into the ground, creating a cracked pattern.
Scattered stones cut Mengdie's face, drawing a line of blood. She ignored her wounds, stepped forward, and pressed her foot on the white shadow's back. With a Dragon Fist, she aimed at his third vertebra, where the heart is located, and struck! The Dragon Fist, the most penetrating of all punches, would cause even the white shadow's heart to temporarily paralyze!
"Hehe... Sweetheart... you're really... amazing!"
In a critical moment, the white shadow's muscles suddenly bulged with blood! With a roar, Mengdie's Dragon Fist on his back caused her pain! It was like hitting a solid iron plate, not soft muscle. Mengdie's knuckles broke, blood seeping out.
But the pain was not the end. Mengdie was propelled into the air by the white shadow's aura! She hit the ceiling again, the pain and blood from her mouth indicating she was seriously injured, probably unable to continue the fight!
Mengdie descended slowly amidst floating blood. Meanwhile, the white shadow had already stood up, raising his right hand, ready to flick the falling girl. He seemed determined to execute the final strike!
Mengdie's eyes closed, blood never ceasing from her mouth and knuckles. She descended slowly...

"Hehe..."
Suddenly, a smile appeared on the girl's lips, and her eyes snapped open!
It was a smile of excitement!
Mengdie, using the force of her fall, aimed a punch at the white shadow below! She was severely injured, but if this punch couldn't end it, she had nothing left and might as well accept her fate.
"White shadow——!!!"
With a roar, Mengdie's right fist clenched! It gathered all her strength, even unintentionally invoking "that" power, concentrating it in her right fist!
Falling... still falling... finally, Mengdie's figure overlapped with the white shadow!
A swift wind burst from the wounds on her knuckles, breaking through the white shadow's defenses, and hitting his face. His final flick also accurately hit Mengdie's forehead! Amidst the simultaneous loud bangs, their entangled figures were flung apart.
Mengdie was flung into the air again, a streak of blood shooting from her forehead, drawing an arc in the air. After a heavy fall, she hit the floor and couldn't get up. The white shadow, for the first time, was flung away by Mengdie's punch, spinning like a top, bouncing off the ground repeatedly, until hitting a wall and finally stopping. His mask was also knocked off by Mengdie's punch and fell aside.
Silence spread in the hall. No one knew what this situation meant. Edward, who had rested until now, rushed over to Mengdie, wiping the blood from her mouth and forehead, while the white shadow, from the moment he hit the wall, covered his face with his cloak. After a moment of silence, he slowly... moved.
"Hehehe... Sweetheart, your fighting spirit is truly astonishing."
He wasn't dead! Nor unconscious! Aside from a swollen cheek, he seemed unharmed!
Edward was shocked, holding Mengdie with one hand and a sword with the other. Perhaps too panicked, his hand holding Mengdie shook non-stop, trying to wake her.
Seeing Edward's actions, the white shadow under the cloak still wore a gentlemanly smile. He wiped the blood from his mouth, walked back to the center of the ballroom, and picked up his hat.
"Stop! If you dare to take another step, I won't be polite!" Edward continued to shake Mengdie, his sword hand trembling slightly.
The white shadow's mouth under the cloak smiled again. He raised his hand, and the white mask on the ground flew back to him as if drawn.
"If possible, I'd love to continue fighting, sweetheart. But I'm seriously injured now, probably can't withstand your anger. Hehe, don't misunderstand, I'm serious. And tell that lady from before, her 'Sky-Piercing Arrow' is really strong."
The white shadow wasn't boasting. After taking a direct hit from the Sky-Piercing Arrow, his combat ability had clearly decreased. And Mengdie's punch, containing the power of the wind, seemed to stir up the residual power of the Sky-Piercing Arrow inside him. These fierce winds rampaged inside him, causing discomfort.
As the white shadow spoke, the closed doors behind him automatically opened. After retrieving his mask, he elegantly bowed to the old king on the throne and walked out the door.
"Respected Your Majesty, I regret not having your presence today. I bid you farewell for now, and will visit another day."
With a "clank," the door shut heavily. The thirty members of the Royal Knights regained their freedom. When the soldiers pushed the door open to find the white shadow, he was already gone, leaving no trace.
