The two of them went back at it without another word, and the pit stopped being a fight anyone could follow.
Juna pressed in with her claws, gold trailing off every swipe, and the rabbit met her head-on with that same wild grin. They tore across the floor and traded blows that cracked the root walls on every miss, neither one giving ground for long.
Then the rabbit broke the pattern.
She skidded back a step, opened her mouth far too wide, and a dense ball of purple mana built at the back of her throat. The blast tore across the pit before Juna could close in, and she cut it clean in half with one swipe of her claws.
The two halves split past her and blew chunks out of the wall behind her. The rabbit fired the next one before the first had even finished landing.
