"Tch! You're really pissing me off!!!"
Yui's roar echoed through the skies, shaking the very ground beneath them.
Her wings exploded outward again, gusts of mana erupting from her back like twin storms.
The feathers on the edges crackled with energy—
The energy was wild, untamed, and seething.
The air distorted around her, pressure compressing like a storm before the lightning.
And then—she launched.
A sonic boom trailed behind her as she vanished from view.
Kouhei barely managed to dive sideways before her sword came down like judgment from above.
BOOOM!!
The impact of her blade shattered the ground where he'd stood, rock and dirt erupting upward like a miniature explosion.
Shards of debris pelted his back as he rolled over uneven terrain, wincing from the sharp sting along his ribs—blood now freely flowing from the earlier graze.
He got to one knee, breath ragged, and lungs burning.
But before he could rise, she was already there.
