With the two B Rank damselfly-like beasts finally brought down, their broken bodies lying on fractured floating islands, Kaela found herself alone.
Alone against the true threat.
The A Rank dragonfly hovered in the air before her, its sleek body crackling with faint arcs of blue electricity that danced across its surface like living veins. Its wings vibrated at a frequency that distorted the air itself, bending light, warping perception.
For a moment, everything stilled.
Kaela exhaled slowly, rolling her shoulders as her purple aura flickered back to life, coiling around her like a storm waiting to be unleashed.
And that's when her one-on-one battle began.
Because in the next instant it vanished.
BOOM!
Kaela's arm snapped up just in time as something slammed into her guard. The force alone shattered the island beneath her feet, cracks exploding outward in every direction as the ground collapsed into nothingness.
She was sent flying.
