Athoi teleported behind another of Laura's clones, ready to strike, but Laura was quick, swinging her sword with deadly precision. However, Athoi anticipated the attack and teleported away just before the blade could connect.
Appearing behind another clone, Athoi swiftly decapitated it with a single strike, but Laura closed in, forcing Athoi to block the next attack with her sword before teleporting to safety again.
Laura's clones advanced, surrounding Athoi and attacking simultaneously.
But Athoi had grown faster, her reflexes sharper. She dodged each strike with increasing ease, while Laura herself lunged at her from behind. In a blur of movement, Athoi teleported behind Laura and punched the air. Instantly, Laura felt a sharp pain in her back as if Athoi's fist had struck her directly.
Snarling, Laura spun around and fired a deadly ray from her third eye, but Athoi vanished before it could touch her, reappearing off to the side.
