Standing opposite Alexander, Michelle started forming more autonomous bows of Living Shadow outside the net surrounding her and Alexander while also lunging at him.
Forced to focus on dodging, it took Alexander a bit longer than it would normally have to notice that Michelle was also pulling as much shadow essence from the surroundings as possible, pushing it into the net through her feet.
But it was a bit slowed down because Michelle's shoes weren't designed to let energies through.
Noticing this massive flaw slowing her down, Michelle's eyes narrowed in annoyance.
For a moment, she tightened the muscles in her feet, pushing hard against the net beneath her.
From the pressure, the thin threads sliced through the soles of her shoes and stopped at Michelle's skin, digging into it a tiny bit.
With that, when Michelle lunged at Alexander again, the soles of her shoes got shredded off, leaving her barefoot.
