CRACK BOOOOM
The rock exploded under the violent thunder Annabelle unleashed.
When the dust cleared, a dark gallery stretched before her, leading into the enemy base.
Two red dots glowed in the darkness.
"YOU'RE DEAD!" a woman roared, charging with her battle axe raised high.
Annabelle ducked calmly under the strike and drove her elbow into the woman's side.
"Khuk!" The redhead grunted. She can't break my reinforced body, she believed, but— spurt! Blood sprayed from her nose, her eyes reddening in shock. Her ribs had fractured.
She turned her head slowly toward the raven-haired girl, her voice trembling. "Just… how strong are you?"
Annabelle didn't answer.
She shot forward, her hand aimed for the woman's throat. But the axe was suddenly dropped, the loss of weight letting the redhead leap back.
Annabelle snarled, rising to her feet. Her aura flared, making the gallery feel smaller, heavier.
The woman gave a wry smile. "Unlucky you… crossing paths with me."
