"I'll do more than think," Aurelia shot back, summoning every ounce of her magic. "I will end you."
The demon killer lunged at her with blinding speed, her fists encased in dark energy. Aurelia barely had time to dodge, her flames flaring out in a defensive burst. The demon killer pivoted smoothly, launching a series of rapid strikes that Aurelia parried with desperate precision. Each blow was like a hammer, sending shockwaves through her arms.
"You're stronger than I expected," the demon killer admitted, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light. "But it won't be enough."
