Emily saw the sword coming in too fast to dodge.
She changed part of her neck into particles of light. The blade passed through harmlessly.
Her hand clenched into a fist and she punched at the man's stomach.
Pain shot up her arm instead.
Her knuckles throbbed as if she had hit solid metal.
'Dammit. I need to put some distance.'
She understood at once that close combat put her at a disadvantage.
She took out her awe cube and pointed it toward the sky.
"Illuminate, Luminere."
The Snake King Emperor watched the cube with interest.
He had never seen anything like it before.
He felt a surge of energy from it, strong but not yet dangerous.
Luminere was the name Emily had given to her wisps of light.
The moment the wisp came out, it shone brightly and blinded everyone on the field.
Emily was the only one who could still see.
She pointed her palm forward.
SWOSHH.
A blast of light shot from her hand toward Luminere.
The wisp of light was surrounded by many crystal shards.
