The mage frowned and quickly raised her staff. "I won't let you humiliate me!"
She launched spell after spell.
She fired lances, lightning bolts, and shards of ice toward Velra.
Velra only smirked, her body twisting gracefully as she dodged.
Each step was light, almost like she was dancing.
Spells grazed her arms and shoulders, burning her skin, but she didn't even flinch.
Instead, she giggled. "Mmm… is that it? It hurts, but it feels so good."
Her eyes glowed brighter, enjoying both the sting of pain and the thrill of battle.
She flicked her whip forward. "[Velvet Demon Ether]!"
The whip stretched longer, covered in glowing pink poison-ether, hissing as it cut the air.
It snapped against the mage's barrier, cracking it with each strike.
The mage gritted her teeth. "Stay back!" She pushed her staff forward. "[Arcane Barrage]!"
Dozens of glowing spheres fired out, exploding on impact.
Velra spun her whip around herself like a shield. "[Velvet Coil]!"
