Unwelcome Advances

Coraline was counting on the angel to dodge. 

If her second ground-targeted spell was as successful as the first... well-- then her opponent wouldn't have been a very good Gold-Rank. 

Suffering the recoil of her ⌈Earth Spike⌋, she tumbled backward on the ground but she managed to right herself in a somewhat graceful kneel. 

If she was being honest with herself, it was a small miracle that she didn't fall flat on her face.

Creepy-angel-guy was coming straight for her... so she lowered her body... counted to one, then sprung upward with all her might. 

"⌈Flaming UPPERCUT!!!⌋"

**BAM!!**

Coraline's fist was... caught by the angel's hand. He held onto her tightly with a vice-like grip. 

She was going to bruise for sure... but in theory, HE should have been hurting way more! 

Looking up with an expectant grin-- Coraline had her hopes and dreams shattered and destroyed yet again.
