Mad Lady

The woman laughed madly as she ran towards Sera. From the gauntlet on her right hand, a two meter long curved silver blade grew.

She moved faster than any Ascended should've, which caused alarm bells to ring in Sera's mind.

In less than a second, her golden armor covered her body, and she summoned her glaive to defend against the incoming blow.

Next to her, Bea's body changed as well. Her brown dress changed shape and became Bea's armor.

From her gauntlet, an ordinary long sword grew. It looked to be made of wood, but Sera quickly recognized it as a deadly weapon.

By the time the woman's attack reached them, they were ready... Or at least they thought so.

The silver blade cut the air in a wide arc. Sera tried to block it with her glaive's handle, but there was too much power in the blow, and she nearly lost balance.
