"Ohhh, so you learned that a body-on-body fight isn't going to work, huh? Now you're all charging a breath attack?"

As she absorbed it, Mineralized Projectile activated. The dirt and stone hardened instantly inside her swollen body. With Crystalline Growth, the mass refined further—impurities forced out, structure aligning—forming razor sharp mineral shards instead of loose rubble.
"SEISMIC BREATH!"
