"Don't move, Keira! Just stay there!"
Keira froze, her legs trembling as her whip coiled uselessly in her hand. She wanted to run, every instinct screamed at her to get away, but she couldn't.
The Rose Knights stood like immovable statues, their armor gleaming faintly, their bodies already repairing the damage from her strikes. She knew if she turned her back, she wouldn't make it three steps.
Better to stay near someone who could actually destroy them.
Nora raised her staff, her expression hardening. Lines of light snapped into existence in front of her, circuits of a complex magic circle forming with practiced ease—Condense, Ignite, Spread, Explode, Target Range—each rune weaving together into a chain of lethal precision.
"Explode."
