Sofia dashed with everything she had from the get-go. It was a bad idea giving Grace time to prepare.
Behind her, several rays of water appeared, all ready to attack in multiple directions. In reply, Grace smiled as she took a step back and willed dozens of golden threads to appear, surrounding Sofia.
Sofia, not showing even the slightest amount of hesitation or fear, slashed with her sword forwards.
One of the water rays reached her strike, while the others attacked in proximity.
Her sword, as well as the water, collided with the golden threads and managed to snap them.
"Oh?" Grace spoke with a hint of amusement in her voice. It seemed that the unwanted princess had more fight in her than others said was the case.
"No matter what, I'll win in the end." Grace flicked her fingers, sending more threads shooting out. At the same time, she started circling the arena, moving quickly to keep her distance.
