Shalltear - Fingernails

“...Huh?”

Shalltear was looking at the nail of her left pinkie finger—it was damaged. Part of it was missing—less than a third of an inch, but still.

Shalltear thought back over their exchange. Her nail had been severed at exactly the part she’d been using to block the slashes.

As she recalled, the four slashes had come two from above and two from below—precisely sandwiching the spot she was using to block.

Shalltear’s fingernails and fangs were treated as natural weapons; as such, they could be broken with weapon-breaking skills. Since they would grow back as life force was recovered with healing magic, they broke more easily than other weapons at the same level. They weren’t so great. They couldn’t even compare with her magic item, the Pipette Lance.

So she had no idea why this guy had burst out laughing.

You cut my pinkie fingernail a little bit, so what? What does it matter? She looked at the other four nails on her left hand. Even her pinkie finger was still long enough to rip easily into human flesh, despite being shorter.
