~Moments before ~
BANG! CLANG! BRUM!
Those sounds marked the continuous clash between Mitrass and Seraphina as they moved at high speed through the dark forest.
But none of the other three paid any attention to them.
Seraphina's doppelgänger focused her attention on Noha and Oryx.
She had only one functioning arm. Part of her side was missing.
Chaotic energy was deteriorating her body, made entirely of mana.
It was not an advantageous situation. And she couldn't afford to waste time.
Without hesitating even a fraction of a second, she began.
"Cadentis Zone." (Falling Zone)
Seraphina's voice resonated with unnatural calm.
It was her first attack.
Noha and Oryx reacted instantly, activating defenses and preparations like the veteran mages they were.
Neither let their guard down despite the obvious lack of an arm and destroyed side: Seraphina's demonic appearance radiated pure danger.
