Vaeghar's claw punched clean through Alexia's bronze armor.
Despite the breastplate shielding her, despite both her Essence and aura working overtime to fortify her body, there was no resistance at all.
The Demon Prince's sharp talons burst out of her back as easily as a knife through a paper doll.
The sound that accompanied it was a sharp metallic clang, immediately drowned by a wet squelch of flesh and bone being torn apart.
Alexia gagged on her own breath. Her blood, as red as the eerie moonlight, sprayed like a geyser as all her Cards flared brightly behind her…
Then dissolved into shimmering motes of light, flowing back into her soul.
That alone didn't mean she was dead.
Nonetheless, it did mean something vital inside her body had been damaged. Well, obviously, she was impaled.
