Valentina hit a ruined pillar, her body snapping back as the stone disintegrated under the force. She coughed, a spray of blood painting her lips, her eyes unfocused for a fleeting second.
"You're getting sloppy, Headmaster!" Rex teased, his voice echoing with a cruel, playful edge.
He appeared in front of her, his hand glowing with a dark, oppressive energy. "Too much time in the classroom, not enough in the trenches!"
He launched a wave of [Void Tsunami], a crushing mass of dark water and compressed gravity.
WHOOOOOSH!
Valentina's eyes snapped open, glowing with a fierce, desperate intensity. As the wave crashed over her, she didn't try to block it. Instead, she merged with it.
"ELEMENTAL PHASE: AQUATIC SPIRIT!"
SPLASHHHH!
The wave passed through her as if she were a ghost. Rex's eyes widened.
He lunged forward to grab her, but his hands passed through a shimmering, liquid silhouette.
SISSLE!
