The girl fought as explosively as Halo had expected, and her aggression only seemed to amplify her strength. His daggers were razor-sharp and well-made, but every time they met her axe, they felt like they might break.
Liam circled overhead, striking at her with blade-feathers whenever possible, though he kept one eye on Mill, who had Light shadowing him.
The girl delighted in the combat, her strikes accompanied by derisive laughter. Theoretically, her brutal aggression should have been ideal for Seraph's measured, elegant style to exploit.
