Meira delivered a powerful kick to Irethiel's chest, sending her flying backward.
THUD—
Irethiel landed on the ground but quickly sprang back up to her feet.
She let out a hiss of pain as the blood continued to flow from her arm, but her eyes also shone with a hint of excitement at the sudden increase in Meira's strength.
"You've finally shown a little bit of fight," she remarked, getting ready for the next attack.
Meira, however, was acutely aware that she couldn't afford to make any mistakes. She knew that one misstep could mean the end of the fight, so she remained focused and cautious.
Thankfully, she had gained better control over her powers of the constellation, in contrast to the fight she had in the gladiator's arena where she had lost control.
