"...I am Claire Duvent, and I'll be the one to take you down!!" She declared and got on an offensive stance again.
"Oho! We'll see about that!" From the enemy's perspective, she can only see a sad dying person. She can guess that Claire will eventually die from her fatal injury within a few minutes. And so, she decided to play with her a bit, exerting only little of her strength while fighting Claire.
After a brief moment of shotting glares at each other, the two engaged in combat within a second. They simultaneously exchanged blows with their bare fists, and it was almost as if they were in synch.
"Ahaha! How fun!!" The enemy is really enjoying her time with Claire. Although she's receiving heavy blows, her pain resistance allows her to ignore the damage and focus on roughing up Claire's face.
"Is this all you got!?... Punch harder!!... Give all you got!!" The enemy's attacks have became more and more aggressive. Each punch that lands on Claire's face deals more force and damage, and she still kept going even when Claire's face was all bloody and beyond recognizable.
Though the enemy is quickly losing interest in Claire as their fight was dragging long. "Hmph, your punches are getting weak. But I gotta say! You did well!" And she landed her final blow on Claire, giving an uppercut on her abdomen.
Claire coughed up blood and got on her knees. "That oughta do it!"
However, Claire doesn't plan to end things between them just yet. The enemy stayed to watch her last moments and die, but it gave her a shock to see Claire stand up once again. "Holy shit!... are you a zombie!? Rising back from the dead!?"
Although it was hard to distinguish the expression from Claire's beaten face, the enemy can tell that she was smirking at her. "There's no way I'll die, not until I take you down!!"
"Woah!!" The enemy ducks down when Claire suddenly darted at her with a shifter katana. She was in shock to have found a dying person that refused death. Is there really such a thing!?
"Just what on earth are you!?" Before the enemy can turn around to see Claire, she heard Claire whisper as if she was already behind her. "Who knows?..." this made her jump away from her spot to another.
Looking back, Claire had already closed the distance between them before the enemy had time to counterattack. She attempts to grab ahold of the enemy, her eyes set on a single objective—to take her down and slice her to pieces.
But as Claire got a hold of her, she realized that it was a trap as the enemy let her grab easily. Before she can pull a roundhouse kick, the enemy gave her an uppercut and sent her flying. "How odd, you're supposed to be dead by now! How come you're still alive?... is it perhaps the adrenaline?" The enemy began to grow interest on Claire again.
Claire tried to get up again, but she was petrified by the sight of this formidable enemy. She can't stand taking any more damage from her. Everything was finally sinking in, every part of her body throbs in pain. She can't defend herself, she can't even move a finger.
A chill went down her spine when the enemy grins at her. "Maybe I should take you with me and study your body." Though before the enemy can take another step towards Claire, something else attacked her from behind.
"Arghh!!" Suddenly this enemy was pinned down by an ally. Claire's eyes glistens with hope. "Bernadette!" She mutters the name of her savior.
"Unforgivable, you left me to play with a weaker fighter? Are you afraid of getting defeated by me, Heinz!?" Bernadette addressed the enemy. She stomped down on Heinz back and pulled her left arm, trying to break it. "Ahh!! Damn it!!... you fucking bitch!! Ahhh!!"
Bernadette glanced at Claire and gave an order. "You there! Retreat now!!"
Claire nods as she stood up and ran away from there. Now Bernadette is left to deal with Heinz on her own. "What a hero you are! Always so rigorous and splendid, admired by many... but deep down, all you are is a trying hard bitch that'll never be number 1! Ahaha!" Heinz taunted.
"Shut it!! Don't forget that I have the upper hand here!" Bernadette snapped and broke Heinz left arm instantly. "Aaahh!!... you brutal piece of!—"
"Go ahead, speak more and I might actually tear your arm off!"
"Don't act too proud now! Just because you got to pin me down doesn't mean you can beat me here." Heinz had her shifter transformed into a cannon and blew up the ground beneath them, allowing her to escape from Bernadette.
"Heinz!!" She chases after her. "Don't you run away from me!!"
"Nah! I'll kill you next time for sure. Good bye now!" Heinz waved good bye as she successfully escaped.
Once she got back to her allied grounds, she grins at the thought of this incredible person she fought. "Her name's Claire, huh? I'll keep that in mind."
An ally approached Heinz to inform her of their next move. "Ma'am Heinz! The Captain will be launching the star neutron bombs shortly, it is advised to retreat immediately!"
The Star Neutron Bomb is an extremely destructive and deadly weapon. Its name refers to the shape and nature of the blast, as the explosion spreads out in a starlike pattern upon detonation. This weapon has a devastating explosive power, capable of destroying everything in a radius of up to 3 km, and carving half a km into the earth's surface. It also releases intense radiation, resulting in long-lasting effects and widespread destruction.
"Ohh, they're gonna use the big bombs already? Hmm. I wonder if they're gonna get caught in the explosion and die." Heinz looks back at the battlefield, a laugh escape from her mouth. "Haa... such ashame that I won't be there to witness their dying moments."
Then she thought to herself, "Hmm, that explosion will surely kill Claire now, won't it?"
