A massive explosion echoed through the forest, shaking the trees around and cutting trunks with its devastating force. Emily's red eyes radiated solemnity as her sword grew in size, and two pairs of blue and black horns emerged from her head. A set of wings of the same tone elegantly unfolded from her back, while her skin became lighter. Her scarlet eyes moved frantically, tracking the trail of a shadow crossing the battlefield at a surprising speed. A thin gray aura left its wake, even surpassing Emily's speed.
Emily gritted her teeth, her eyes taking on an intense ferocity, and her bluish aura enveloped her body. She disappeared with each step, moving with agility and skill. A swift motion of her sword generated white sparks like snow in the air, cutting through space with astonishing precision. The gray shadow faded and reappeared, even challenging Emily's perception. The latter kept her gaze on it, striving to keep up.
