Velra stood still, her arms relaxed by her sides, her head tilted slightly.
Across from her, the new guests were Korin and Tyven.
Korin twirled his whip lazily in one hand.
A smug smile appeared on his face.
Beside him, Tyven cracked his knuckles.
Electricity sparked faintly across his gauntlets.
Behind them, Dareth was smiling in amusement.
He didn't move yet. He just watched.
Korin chuckled first.
"So this is the famous Velvet Demon?"
"Doesn't look like much to me," Tyven added, flexing his arms.
"Bet she folds after the first real hit."
Velra didn't answer.
She only smiled slightly behind her mask.
Agility Boost activated silently inside her body.
Her muscles sharpened.
Her legs felt lighter. Faster.
Korin snapped his whip toward her feet, trying to trip her fast.
Velra's body blurred.
Quick Step.
She slid sideways, avoiding the whip with ease.
Tyven rushed forward, throwing a heavy punch straight at her.
Velra stepped into him without fear.
