The hundred-meter Flesh Titan did not hesitate.
It snatched up the ice spear it had made from Fay's failed attack, poured qi into its arm, and hurled it back. The weapon tore through the air with a booming roar.
Jenkii reacted in time to brace. Fay moved faster.
Though her qi had not yet fully recovered, she dove straight down in front of Jenkii and threw up her arms, buckler raised, teeth clenched hard enough to ache.
Ice crashed into steel. The impact blasted Fay backward, driving both women into the ground, though Jenkii managed to soften part of the force behind her.
Even so, they were pinned for a breath beneath the violence of it.
Then the ice shattered apart completely.
"Fay, I'm not that weak. Why the hell would you do that?" Jenkii snapped.
Fay did not answer at once. She whipped her arm out and drew back the scattered strands of underworld fire.
