Chapter 263 - Renita’s Progress

Eren was shocked

He was shocked by Renita's progress in such a short period He was currently battling against her It was a er at their usual spot

'Sedated Perception!'

Eren used his go-to tiet boxed in This time the bullets weren't his enemies

The mana arrows made of the wind element had taken their place

Renita had another style in her repertoire without discarding her original one This was thanks to her mentor, Almera who used crossbows in her battle style

Renita had been gifted an F-Rank 4-star crossbow artefact by Aler could use the same efficiently in her battle style Turns out the
