Without her crossbow, Ayumi decided to take a more direct approach to deal with Akira. She stretched out her long legs to kick at the shorter woman. Her dark eyes held a vicious and vengeful look that betrayed evil intentions.
Akira stepped back and wielded her whip with expertise. She snapped it at the attacking woman repeatedly, unwilling to give Ayumi even a small chance to touch her. She did not know if it was her imagination, but Ayumi seemed to be targeting her abdomen.
This narrow-minded approach to fighting made Ayumi unable to show much power in the altercation, giving Akira a chance to use her whip to its full capacity.
People often underestimated the power of Akira's whip in a fight. While it was painful when it came in contact with skin, the pain was never debilitating at first. It would only leave a feeling of heat after it was disengaged.
