She looked at her as her prey. Hunter and prey switched places, and Kreyna could feel it.
Red streams came out in a single flash, completing Risha's new ability, her Branch Order.

A red layer of flesh, as if dozens of muscles stitched together in an indistinct patch, covered her arm, an eerie and frightening sight.
Three sharp claws emerged from her hand, smooth blades ready to tear through both flesh and darkness in their path.
