Ravenor's fist, coated in flames, continued to brighten as more scarlet fire poured into the Alchemy attack.
The Flame Alchemy around his arm burned harder with every moment.
His fist moved toward Vera at close range, and the air in front of it was violently pushed aside by the force of the attack.
The heat reached Vera before the punch did.
The flames around Ravenor's arm twisted with his movement, gathering around his fist as the attack closed toward her stomach.
But Vera didn't panic.
A faint smile appeared on her face.
Her body shifted only a few inches.
That was all.
The flame-coated fist passed directly beside her stomach.
The heat brushed across her clothes, and the force of the punch pushed the fabric against her body, but Ravenor's fist failed to make contact.
Vera had evaded it.
Ravenor's scarlet eyes remained locked onto her.
He wasn't particularly surprised, since had already seen how fast Vera could move.
But that wasn't the important part.
