Upon seeing Bai Song standing up, Saber promptly entered battle mode, no longer paying attention to the screaming Gudako.
Although in Saber's eyes, Bai Song was just an ordinary caster, it was impossible for him to defeat Saber, one of the top three knights, on the frontlines.
Nevertheless, Saber was prepared to unleash her full power immediately because even though she had defeated the peculiar cat familiar with a single strike, Bai Song still had a dog-like familiar that had disappeared somewhere. Additionally, there was a formidable rat familiar nearby.
Saber had to defeat Bai Song before the dog-like familiar arrived. If she allowed herself to be attacked by both Bai Song and the dog, she felt certain she would lose. After all, that dog could even bite through a round table. Its attack power was terrifying.
Even Saber's holy sword might not be able to withstand such an assault.
It was apparent to anyone with discerning eyes that the dog-like familiar was undeniably powerful.
However, even at such a level of strength, there were still weaknesses.
That weakness lay in the owner of the dog-like familiar, Bai Song. If Saber defeated Bai Song now, regardless of where the dog-like familiar was, it would surely vanish along with Bai Song's demise.
"Prepare yourself." With those words, Saber raised her invisible sword, ready to kill Bai Song head-on.
"Pia~pia~."
However, just as Saber was about to strike, she felt something striking her waist armor, emitting a dull metallic sound.
Feeling something hitting her from behind, Saber abruptly turned around and was surprised to see Tom, whom she had just cut in half, now wearing a displeased expression and patting his waist, trying to get her attention.
"Impossible! How are you still alive?!" Seeing Tom standing behind her, Saber's pupils contracted, and her face showed disbelief.
She had witnessed her invisible sword cleaving through Tom's waist, yet he appeared unscathed now.
Moreover, even if Tom had survived her attack, her innate skill, "Instinct A," would have definitely warned her of the danger behind her. It was impossible for Tom to stand behind her unharmed and pat his waist while she remained completely unaware of his presence.
It was as if her instinctual skill had completely vanished, an unprecedented situation for her.
Although she couldn't comprehend the various extraordinary events that had just occurred, Saber didn't have time to dwell on these matters. Regardless of what was happening, the enemy was already in close proximity.

"attack!" Saber swiftly turned around and swung her invisible sword with both hands, aiming a powerful downward strike at Tom.
In that instant when she swung down her sword, Saber finally understood what had happened when she struck Tom earlier.
Her sword seemed to cleave through an invisible object, not even making contact with Tom. It was as if the Tom before her was a mere projection.
However, Tom's hand had indeed touched her back just moments ago.
Clearly, this cat possessed a special ability that rendered her attacks completely ineffective while still being able to make contact with her.
Saber refused to believe it and continued to swing at Tom multiple times.
However, the result was the same as before. Tom remained unharmed, showing no signs of being affected by Saber's attacks, completely ignoring them.
Watching Saber in front of it, swinging her hands in a strange manner, Tom couldn't help but scratch its head. It was genuinely concerned about her mental state.
Initially, Tom was prepared to question her aggressively about why she suddenly appeared and startled it. But now, Tom was less inclined to pursue the matter. After all, anyone would find it difficult to maintain their temper in the face of a futile battle. Of course, that's assuming the battle wasn't too excessive.
If Tom were willing to speak at this moment, its first words would surely be, "Are you alright?"
"Tom, she's an enemy, attack her!" Bai Song decisively shouted at Tom when she saw that Tom hadn't grasped the situation and was still standing there.
Upon hearing Bai Song's words, Tom's expression immediately changed. Its previously calm face quickly transformed into a pouting and frowning one.
If it had just entertained thoughts of caring for the wielder of the staff, those thoughts disappeared as soon as it learned that Saber was an enemy. Now... it was hunting time!
Tom swiftly pulled out a kitchen spatula from behind and launched a forceful strike towards Saber's face.
Seeing Tom finally counterattacking, Saber firmly gripped her invisible sword with both hands, using it as a shield to defend against Tom's attack.
However... something eerie happened once again.
Tom's sweeping motion with the spatula passed right through Saber's invisible sword as if it didn't exist, with no collision whatsoever, directly piercing through the middle of the invisible sword.
Witnessing this scene, Saber's pupils contracted, realizing immediately that she couldn't defend against this attack. So, Saber decisively tried to dodge to the side, attempting to evade Tom's strike.
But then, something even more horrifying happened, leaving Saber with a sense of dread. She suddenly realized in terror that she had lost control of her body. Her entire being came to a halt, unable to move or dodge in the slightest.
It was as if she had been immobilized, despite her brain being fully aware that she was about to be hit and having enough time and space to evade. Her body simply refused to obey her brain's commands, steadfastly remaining in place to receive the full impact of the blow!
"Bang~~~!!!"
After passing through the invisible sword, Tom's sweeping spatula struck Saber's face perfectly, emitting a vibration that could shake loose earwax.
Feeling the devastating blow to her face, Saber's brain entered a state of emptiness, and all the images in her mind turned pure white in an instant.
As Tom's small spatula struck the left side of her face, Saber was sent soaring into the air, spinning three and a half times to the right before hovering for two seconds, defying gravity. Then, she crashed heavily onto the ground, paying homage to Newton's laws once again.
