Then, with a swing of her hand, a burning crescent tore outward. Not a wave of loose flame, but a solid line of compressed one that was sharp enough to act as a physical edge.
Lilith didn't dodge as she also swung her hand in response.
Her magenta claw cut the arc in half, splitting it cleanly. The moment the halves separated, they diffused into scattered embers like fractured molten glass.
But Ignis wasn't firing a lone attack, as the (Blazing Rift) skill was just a feint, and she was already in motion.
Her left heel dug into the ground, planting forcefully to halt movement before another burst sent her forward. Her sword lowered, point facing outward, held like a lunging spear.
Lilith's ear twitched, and she immediately reacted by stepping backward, not because she wanted to run from it but more like to control their distances.
Ignis' blade thrust, and Lilith pivoted sideways, her slip movement was minimal, efficient, and a clean one.
