Ice! She used it to mitigate damage from Aura's explosive fist and now she was the one at a disadvantage, enemy blade ready to cut deep. But not so fast! Taking advantage of the impact, Aura released a short burst of energy projection against her rival's own body and icy protection! This propels her away. Sword cuts and lightning shocks, delivering the promise of pain. But it's not as deep, not as prolonged as it might have been. There's no further attacking for now, Aura chuckles upon her landing. Pain and numbness sink in, but it's a welcome feeling this time.
“Gotta say. Baiting you into trading blows and walking out of it the less wounded went better in my head, where you didn't have the same idea!”
