SLAAASH!
Another strike cleaved through his body, splitting him in two.
"W-Wha...?!"
Varn Velcrith's eyes widened in disbelief.
How could she do this so casually!
"GRAAAA!"
He transformed into a three-headed black-and-red wolf, charging at her and dragging her through the jungle.
But then—
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"Aaaahhh?!"
His body fell apart into three pieces.
"DAMN IT!"
He shifted again, becoming a gigantic crimson gorilla covered in blood crystals, attacking her with relentless fury.
Once more, Maria vanished.
She turned into lightning, flickering in and out around him.
Her sword slashed across his body, followed by dozens of phantom cuts as faint dream ghosts began to manifest, steadily multiplying the damage.
She combined the assault with her Soul-Shattering Ghostly Scorpion Sting, recreating her wasp-like barrage and riddling his body with holes filled with poisonous ki.
"NNGAAAAHHH!"
