"Declaration of privilege!" the doppelganger assassin suddenly said with a laugh.
Without thinking too much, Veronica pounced forward and swung her fist towards the opponent's chin. It didn't matter what move the other was going to use; with the advantage of speed, she could take them down!
She was faster in both strength and reaction, but the assassin's agility was greater than she had anticipated. Even the short distance had given the murderer time to react. With a sidestep to avoid her attack, the sweeping hook punch barely grazed her face.
"Within this domain, anyone but me..." the assassin continued.
Without pausing, Veronica turned with a side kick. The assassin barely managed to block it with their forearm, sparing their ribs from a direct hit but still sending their body flying.
The air was squeezed out of her lungs, and her voice was cut off momentarily.
