The Rainbow Reptile's body glowed with deadly ice energy, frost forming on its armored scales as it prepared to strike. Both women moved at the same time, reaching for their weapons from Storage rings.
Naviga grabbed her blade, Black Death, in one smooth motion. Minerva did the same, pulling out Scorching Tyrant.
The reptile's eyes tracked both weapons, its body tensing. Without warning, it lunged forward, ice shards flying behind it.
Naviga moved like water, sliding sideways with her Phantom Moon Step. Her feet barely touched the icy ground as she prepared her counterattack. Lunar Serenity Breathing kept her calm despite the rush of battle.
Minerva used her Blazing Step to move in short bursts, leaving melted ice and rising steam behind as she flanked the creature from the other side.
The reptile spun, swinging its tail at Naviga. She raised her Moonlit Shield, and a silver barrier appeared just in time to block the blow. The impact shook her arms, but she held her ground.
