Somewhere in the domain of white fog, hidden and moving, the creature attacked.
It came for Kassie first—descended upon her like an avalanche given teeth and malice. The Spirit Beast fought with brutal efficiency, using its crystalline hand as some kind of bludgeon, twisting and rolling through the snowstorm with terrifying speed that turned the blizzard into its ally.
Kassie held her sword across her face, blocking the combo strikes where they mattered most.
'Her reflexes are sharp.'
But the beast's force was relentless, driving her back step by step. As it finished another rolling strike and pulled back to gather momentum, something changed. A malevolent aura—dark and crimson—erupted around her form, and she burst forward like a blood-red comet.
Everything increased. Her speed. Her strength. Even my own.
Somehow, I just knew.
'Her Dominion Aura.'
