Medusa didn't hesitate. The instant Serafina charged in from below, she kicked off the air with an explosive burst of speed. Her movements blurred, enhanced by the surge of Ryu's mana. In mere moments, she was circling around Lucifer, her figure flickering in and out of sight as she moved at an inhuman pace.
Lucifer's gaze followed her with mild intrigue. "Hmph. You're faster than before."
Medusa clenched her fists, her body radiating a deep, petrifying aura. Her eyes glowed with an ominous light as she activated her curse.
The air tensed. A wave of petrification magic surged toward Lucifer, the space around him crackling as his body began to stiffen. Stone crept over his form, locking him in place as the curse spread rapidly.
Serafina didn't waste a second. Flames roared around her arms as she dove straight at him, fists ablaze. "Got you!"
With a powerful swing, she aimed directly at his chest—
Crack.
The stone shattered in an instant.
