Deep fissures spider-webbed across the rock's surface, and Benjamin's form was embedded into its face like a grotesque sculpture, the stone crumbling around his impact point.
[Crap, I got completely tricked by that move!] Benjamin realized immediately, his thoughts scrambling as he processed what had just happened and tried to reorient himself. [But even so, what kind of reaction speed does she even possess?! She moves like a lightning bolt given physical form, striking before the thought to dodge even forms in my mind. If this is her level of ability, and Elara is apparently even stronger than her somehow.... Amazons are so terrifying, it's unfair.]
Attempting to rise up from the rubble and broken stone, Benjamin found himself immediately pinned.
Marina was already upon him, having followed his trajectory, and she began raining down bone-shattering punches onto his body with relentless fury.
