The wraith moved instantly, no longer testing, no longer observing.
It used its full physical power.
The ground beneath it fractured as it vanished and reappeared before the dark-haired girl.
The wraith's fist is already descending with enough force to kill any [Diamond] ranker if caught off guard.
A small smile formed on the girl's face.
She raised her hand.
-BANG
The impact exploded outward, cracking the ground beneath her feet, sending fragments of stone scattering in all directions.
The wraith's eyes widened. Its punch had been stopped.
It was caught effortlessly.
Her fingers tightened slightly around its wrist, steady and unshaken, as if the force behind the blow meant nothing.
Then her body shifted as her leg snapped upward.
The kick landed cleanly on the wraith's guts.
The wraith was sent flying.
-BOOM
