Smoke and flames swallowed the entire area where Diane was.
The explosion from the five 13-pound shells had covered that section of the fight platform so completely that even the holographic screens struggled to show anything clearly through the thick smoke.
"Lady Diane!!!"
"You've got to be kidding me!!"
"What is even happening?!"
"The Lady of Bergwyn is getting dominated by Lady Vera Ashenlocke?!"
"That's impossible!!"
Many of Diane's fans held their hands over their faces as they stared at the fight platform in disbelief.
The fight had started the way everyone expected it to.
Even.
The two Flowers of Britannia had exchanged attacks almost equally at the beginning, and many spectators had assumed that Vera would eventually be the one forced to struggle until the end to keep up with Diane's physical strength and battle instincts.
But now…
Diane was the one hidden beneath smoke and flames.
