Battle 7

'This is-'

She could not even finish her thought as Vell's punch connected with her face. The impact was like a thunderclap, echoing through the ruined throne room as she flew across the space, slamming into a pillar so hard it cracked down the middle. She bled for the first time in their fight, but Vell was not done yet. He sent a mana slash towards her that made the air around it sing with a deadly hum.

'Dangerous.' She leaped into the air, waving her hand at the pieces of her broken fans. The shards rose and reformed into new, stronger weapons. She wasted no time, launching them at him while he was mid-air, but this attack was no longer going to work. He spun his body and kicked the fans back at her with even greater force.
