Vina wiped the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand, her golden eyes narrowing.
The smile that had been teasing her lips vanished.
For the first time tonight, she dropped the act.
The playful predator was gone.
Now, only the monster remained.
The air grew heavy again — heavier than before.
The ground cracked under her feet as raw, ancient power flooded from her body.
Lucifer's smirk faltered slightly.
Then—
BAM!
Vina exploded forward, a blur of silver and black, faster than Lucifer could react.
Her fist crashed into his gut like a freight train.
Lucifer's body folded around the blow, the air forced from his lungs.
Before he could even gasp, Vina twisted, spun, and landed a brutal roundhouse kick to his jaw.
CRACK!
His head snapped to the side, blood flying from his mouth.
He stumbled, but Vina wasn't finished.
She grabbed his arm, flipped him over her shoulder, and smashed him straight into the broken ground.
BOOM!
