Darius saw the change in Dahlia. But his own condition was far worse.
The battle inside his mind had already pushed him to the edge.
At this point, he wasn't thinking clearly anymore. There was no hesitation left in him.
He looked at Dahlia and saw only an enemy. Someone that had to be killed.
Without another thought, he lunged forward.
[Crimson Talon Rend]
His claws burned with demonic flames as he closed the distance in an instant.
Dahlia didn't move back. Instead, she smirked. "So you really have become a wild beast."
Her eyes sharpened. "…Then I'll treat you like one."
She opened her mouth and released a roar.
[Thunder Roar]
The sound burst outward, carrying sharp thunder through the air.
It struck Darius directly, disrupting his movement mid-charge.
His body stalled for just a moment. That was enough for Dahlia to move freely.
She rushed forward, carried by the force of her own storm.
In the next instant, she was already above him.
