Aurora only scoffed. She didn't even dignify the guy with a reply. Instead, she lifted one hand with lazy grace like a queen swatting away a fly, and the air around her trembled.
A second later, the ground beneath Michael's group cracked with a thunderous boom. Spikes of dark energy erupted upward, razor-edged tendrils of corrupted divine energy.
The attack was clearly something she just whipped up on a whim, but it was still powerful enough to maim a few of them. Not every C rank was able to dodge it, and even Michael only barely stepped aside.
Michael's eyes turned cold, and his voice became stern. "You have become crazy! You have completely lost your damn mind!"
Aurora did not care. She let loose another attack.
"Have you lost it? Have you forgotten that you are to be betrothed to my brother? How dare you act like this! You are going against your own family!"
