Gurrak roared, fully transformed into his wolf-beast form.
His thoughts were gone.
Only rage remained.
His claws tore through the air with blinding speed.
Velra activated Waltz Zone.
But Gurrak was no longer a normal fighter.
He was a beast.
He charged like a monster freed from chains.
Velra ducked under his first swipe, flipping backward.
He followed.
She spun.
Spinning Kick.
Layered Venom Trace mid-air. Her heel brushed his chest.
He didn't even flinch.
Then came the counter.
Gurrak turned and slammed into her with his shoulder.
She was thrown across the battlefield, crashing into stone.
Blood spilled from her mouth.
"Even with the zone… he's adapting."
Gurrak growled low and charged again.
Velra slid sideways.
Quick Step.
Leaving behind a flicker of Blade Trace.
He passed through it and took a light cut across his thigh.
No reaction.
She turned toward him.
"I'm not letting you take this from me."
Waltz Zone pulsed again.
She moved like liquid steel.
