Chapter 414
The bear-armed brute charged again, fists raised high to crush her. This time, Yuki didn’t dodge. She lunged forward, catching his descending arm with her clawed hands. The impact cracked the ground beneath her feet, but she held firm, muscles bulging as she forced the beast’s arm to bend backward.
With a savage snarl, she wrenched the arm at an unnatural angle, bone splintering and muscle tearing with a sickening squelch. The brute roared in agony, but before he could pull away, Yuki sank her claws into his throat and tore it open. Blood gushed in torrents, spraying her face as the hulking figure collapsed, choking on his own life force.
The wolf-headed warrior saw his chance, leaping toward her exposed back. Yuki twisted with inhuman speed, catching him mid-air by his snout. His jaws snapped and snarled, but she grinned through bloodied teeth as she pulled.
Snap! His lower jaw tore free in a fountain of gore, leaving his tongue lolling grotesquely from his shattered maw. She slammed his twitching body into the ground, caving in his skull with a stomp that sent tremors through the colosseum.
The crowd screamed in ecstasy and horror, the chant of "Björn!" replaced by gasps and cries of disbelief.
The serpentine warrior hissed and lunged, his venom-tipped claws aiming for her exposed neck. Yuki didn’t flinch. She caught his wrist mid-strike, squeezing until the bones crumbled beneath her grip. He shrieked, but his cries were cut short as she drove her knee into his gut, forcing him to double over.
"Did you think I’d let you bite me again?" she growled, gripping his head with both hands. She twisted sharply, and his neck snapped with a sickening crack, his head lolling lifelessly as she tossed his corpse aside like garbage.
The remaining warriors hesitated, their bloodlust waning as the reality of Yuki’s ferocity sank in. But the red mist in the air wouldn’t allow retreat. It fed their frenzy, driving them forward despite the carnage around them.
The feathered woman took to the skies, her wings beating furiously as she circled above. Arrows of golden light rained down, each one faster and deadlier than the last. Yuki snarled, dodging with supernatural agility, but one arrow grazed her shoulder, searing her flesh with holy fire.
