Each time Noah attempted to close the distance, Mira would create a new formation of Chi projections to keep him at bay. Unlike her teammates who relied on raw power or speed, Mira's style was built on spatial control and misdirection.
'She's maintaining optimal distance,' Noah thought, analyzing her patterns as he deflected another phantom strike. 'Creating a buffer zone where her projections are most effective. I need to disrupt that spacing.'
Noah shifted his stance, channeling his Chi differently. The aura around him became more concentrated, focusing around his core rather than his limbs. He began to move differently, his steps more deliberate, each movement serving a purpose beyond mere evasion.
Mira, sensing the change in his approach, intensified her assault. The Chi projections multiplied, forming a strange web of energy that seemed to fill the entire ring. From the sidelines, it appeared as if Noah was trapped in a cage of spectral light.
