"Why are you still clinging to me?"
Seraph's expression hardened instantly.
The warmth vanished from her eyes as she raised her sword and leveled the blade straight at his chest, the tip pointing in the direction of his heart.
"Did you forget our promise?"
"I did not."
Her grip tightened.
"Then you already know the answer."
Fwoop!
Her aura burst outward in a sharp wave, pushing against the ground as thin currents of wind spiraled around her body.
Her gaze stayed locked on him, cold and focused, every trace of hesitation gone.
"Prepare yourself."
Her fingers moved into a strange hand sign.
CRACKLE!
Blue lightning crawled across her sword, wrapping the blade in violent sparks as she launched forward, her body turning into a streak of light that tore across the arena and left a jagged trail behind her.
She appeared at Gray's side in an instant and swung for his ribs.
CLANG!
Seraph froze.
