Ken disappeared.
He simply vanished from where he stood, the air collapsing inward a fraction of a second later from the speed of his movement.
The Ice Belle's eyes sharpened instantly.
A crushing force erupted above her.
She raised her arm immediately and a thick crescent wall of ice formed overhead just as Ken's strike descended. The impact detonated like thunder across the sky, shattering the frozen barrier into thousands of glittering fragments that exploded outward in every direction.
The force behind the blow still pushed her downward violently.
The Ice Belle's body shot toward the rooftops below before she stabilized mid-fall, freezing the air beneath her feet to halt herself before impact.
Ken was already there again.
No pause.
No wasted motion.
He drove a kick toward her side with terrifying momentum, and the Ice Belle crossed both arms just in time.
The collision blasted her sideways through the sky.
