Anya chuckled softly, a playful grin appearing on her lips as she responded, "Oh, I wasn't matched."
Klaus let out a relieved sigh on the other end, thinking she hadn't potentially killed anyone. But before he could say anything further, Anya spoke with a wry laugh.
"I was freaking destroyed."
The line went silent for a moment before Klaus stuttered.
"W-wait, what?! You were destroyed? You? By who? How is that even possible?!"
Anya couldn't help but smile at his incredulous reaction, but she didn't answer immediately. Instead, she gazed up at the moonlit sky, Alister's face flashing in her mind, making her smile.
"Let's just say..."
"...there's always someone stronger out there, Klaus."
Klaus groaned dramatically. "This is exactly why you stress me out. Who is this person? Another as strong as Spade? In the same city? Where are all these genius powerhouses when you need them? Why are they not affiliated with any guild? Do I need to send backup next time?!"
