Caught in the act
Praia effortlessly defended herself against the woman wolf's double-axe attack with fluid and precise movements. As the woman wolf's axes descended upon her, Praia responded with grace. She shifted her weight to the left, allowing the left axe to slide harmlessly out of her improvised guard while simultaneously lifting her right leg to avoid the attack coming from below.
With a subtle yet graceful movement, Praia evaded the woman wolf's attack, her unwavering eyes focused on her opponent. She positioned herself for a counterattack, her relaxed movements revealing openings.
However, just as Praia was about to launch her retaliation, she noticed something unusual. The blade of her sword, which had held up well until now, began to show signs of stress. It started as a series of cracks running along its length, and in a fraction of a second, the blade shattered into countless fragments, scattering them across the ground.
