Veronica lunged forward, her fist slicing through the air toward Lucy, but Lucy reacted just as fast, blocking the blow and slashing at her with razor-sharp claws. Veronica narrowly evaded the swipe, leaping back with sharp reflexes.
Her eyes narrowed when she noticed something changing in Lucy's form, feline ears twitched atop her head, and a sleek lion-like tail lashed behind her.
Veronica muttered under her breath, "That transformation… it's similar to Zoe's skill...?"
Lucy licked the back of her hand, eyes gleaming with mischief. "Too bad I missed," she said with a playful yet feral grin.
She charged again.
Veronica braced herself, activating her skill, [Enchanters]. A golden aura flared around her body as buffs surged through her muscles, boosting her speed and strength. She sidestepped Lucy's assault and retaliated with a swift kick from the right.
