Kasuka's body is weak, that's pretty much common knowledge by this point.
Perhaps her skin is weaker than a baby's. A graze that would simply heal in a couple of days would last for weeks on her body.
Fortunately, Kasuka had bought the Self Healing Constitution. With the help of that skill, she could neutralize the effect of her weak body by simply healing it before it could affect her movement.
Just like now.
Crash!
Kasuka coughed out dry air, as her eyes widened slightly at the sight of debris slowly encroaching her vision.
Forcing her body to move, she barely got out of the way before the crater she was in was caved in. Had she hesitated on her decision, she would've been stuck under the rubbles.
Self Healing Constitution (3/5) (Active)
The numbness at her back disappeared in real time as she quickly made her way around the building, hiding her small body behind rocks and dust.
Beatrice had long since turned into her monster version. Long limbs, unnatural fingernails, creepy feathers filled with eyes as her head, there's no longer any shape of a 'Human' on her body.
Kasuka aimed her gun at the abomination's exposed solar plexus.
A couple of bullets escaped as Beatrice effectively blocked them using her unnatural hands.
Beatrice swung her arms in Kasuka's direction.
Without hesitation, Kasuka jumped as high as possible. But that wasn't all, using her momentum as a pivot, her feet met the end of a fallen pillar as she pushed herself against it.
Against Beatrice's assault, Kasuka rushed in through the gaps left behind in her movement.
Being as small as she is, mobility has never been a problem.
The only thing she lacked was speed.
With Increased Agility, she had somewhat covered one of her weaknesses. Of course, she was still quite weak.
But for this, she should be able to weaken the Beatrice that still wasn't infused with the Chroma's power.
Not that she had ever infused herself with the Chroma, but you get what I mean.
Kasuka swiped her hands against Beatrice's face, but then her eyes widened as her adversary's face suddenly wrapped around her hand, catching her off guard.
Quickly, she let go of her gun and kicked Beatrice's chest in an attempt to create distance.
"Haha, I got your gun now. What are you going to do?" As if she had just achieved something, Beatrice chuckled in her eerie tone.
Without a change in expression, Kasuka summoned back her gun into her hand, which caused Beatrice's face to contort into an even worse expression than it already was.
"You...! What is that power!?"
Reasonable reaction to someone who doesn't know the existence of the system.
Not that Kasuka would be willing to explain herself or anything.
Without saying a word, Kasuka turned towards the closest stone formation and aimed her gun straight into it.
Pulling the trigger, the rock formation exploded as she grabbed a couple of smaller stones that could fit inside her hands.
'This should be good enough.'
Shooting the ground a couple of times, dust clouds were created.
Kasuka reloaded her gun.
Beatrice swung her extra limbs across the dust clouds as her multiple eyes looked around.
Kasuka's traces had disappeared.
But she couldn't have gone far.
Turning around, Beatrice failed to take into account Kasuka's size again.
As Kasuka had simply been crouching down behind another bigger rock, barely bigger than her own body.
With another opportune moment, Kasuka began her advance.
First, she threw a rock across the room.
"There you are!" Beatrice didn't miss the sound and rushed towards the location in an instant. "When I catch you, you shall suffer pain you'd never feel again!" she exclaimed as she rammed her face against a wall.
"...Whatever." With nonchalant, Kasuka aimed her gun to the back of Beatrice's head.
Using every bit of her concentration, she tried to infuse her bullet with as much Terror as possible.
But it'll take a while. Perhaps if her Terror efficiency was higher, she would've been able to do it while running around. Fortunately, Beatrice was dumb enough to give her time.
Alas, she's still very much the poor individual she had always been.
For that, she threw another rock in the opposite direction.
But Beatrice noticed something was wrong. Although she was quite stupid, she wouldn't fall for the same trick twice.
But it was too late.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became heavy and the air became freezing cold. It felt like boulders were placed on top of her shoulders.
Another thing to take note of was the sound.
Beatrice wasn't imagining it, she was indeed hearing the sound of an energy-reliant weapon charging up.
Almost like a rail-gun preparing to shoot the most powerful bullet the world had ever seen.
Feeling a sense of danger creeping up behind her, she waved her hand and leaned back in an attempt to reduce the impact.
Shing!
Without a pause, Kasuka mimed using her mouth, her gun was covered with red-purple-ish energy, which was being completely absorbed into the nuzzle.
'Bang!'
A beam of light escaped her gun, going straight to Beatrice's face.
BOOOOOOM!!!

Terror itself was an unstable energy. For anyone wanting to harness it, they would need to witness every single tragedy the world has to offer.
But what if, theoretically, someone could harness Terror for their own benefit?
Perhaps Kasuka never expected it, but using Terror took a massive toll on her body. With her Self Healing Constitution, every single damage her body was rapidly healing at a rate faster than Terror could destroy her insides.
But if she were to suddenly use more Terror than her body could handle... Well... here's the result.
Instant Death.
