The two ladies, their fists still locked in a brutal connection, remained frozen for a heartbeat, their gazes locked in a fierce, unwavering challenge, their bodies trembling with the sheer force of their earth-shattering collision. Then, with a primal roar tearing from her throat, Gaya twisted her body, using the remaining momentum from their impact to unleash a vicious follow-up attack. Her fist slammed into Rin's jaw with brutal force, the sickening crack of bone echoing through the ravaged forest as the Princess of Murder's body was sent flying backwards, tumbling through the air like a discarded doll.
Despite the ferocity of the blow, Rin recovered with unnerving speed. Before her body even slammed into the ground, she twisted in mid-air, her movements fluid and catlike, defying the laws of physics. Gaya, wasting not a single precious second, reached for her quiver, her fingers instinctively closing around a copper arrow.
