The Martial Unity

WHOOSH

Ferlicia leaped away as Mia launched a sound bullet in her direction. But the attack forced her put some distance between her and Mia, much to her chagrin.

She summersaulted away as sound bullets struck the ground where she was just a moment prior. The battle had gotten stuck in a deadlock, having been prolonged for some time by then.

POW!

Ferlicia grimaced as she got hit by a sound bullet. But it happened, and sooner than Rui had predicted. Ana was able to dodge Mia's attacks for as long as she did because she had three dimensions worth of maneuvering and was not restricted to terrain, but Ferlicia did not have that advantage.

She had managed to last a while because she was quick herself, as a consequence of developing a style meant to outmaneuver her opponents who try to maintain distance from her. But in the end it wasn't nearly good enough.

Mia's eyes narrowed as she launched several more sound bullets in her direction.

It should have been game over, yet suddenly;

WHOOSH!

A wall of flames erupted from her mouth, intercepting the bullets. Even though flames weren't solid and couldn't impede the path of the sound bullets, somehow the sound projectiles were largely dispelled by her flames.

Rui watched the sight with great intrigue. Her flames had raised the temperature of the air as a medium, disrupting the sound wave largely. He hadn't been sure whether Ferlicia's flames would be capable of feat prior, but it seemed like her flames were indeed potent enough. Even if sound was particularly vulnerable to disruptions of its medium, he was quite impressed by her feat.

She rushed in having finally found a way to break through, and was quite close.

She released another wall of flames when Mia tried to spam more sound bullets at her in attempt to prevent Ferlicia from enclosing in.
