Chapter 53: Confrontation
Yuki’s flames swirled around her body as shadow spikes began to attack her from all sides.
Her flames were fast and swift, making it easier for her to protect herself against the shadow attacks.
But she knew she was at a disadvantage. Being inside Echidna’s domain was bad enough, considering every single corner of the domain was made of shadows.
She could easily break out of the domain with her powers, but that would also mean getting Rashin involved. She was dead set on keeping him out of it.
Secondly, her powers were not at 100%—40% at best—since Rashin had already weakened her with his white aura cells.
In other words, Yuki was going to lose if the fight went on any longer.
Echidna could already tell. Both she and Yuki stood in a single spot, allowing their abilities to carry on the battle in their stead.
And still...
"What is this, Yuki?! Is this what you’ve reduced yourself to? You can’t even defend yourself against the likes of me? You’re the Fourth Hakia, for damn sake!"
Echidna yelled.
With her voice came a slash to Yuki’s cheek—one of the shadows had managed to slip past her defense.
