“WHAT!?” Ophelia turned around and confirmed with her own eyes that Olivia was indeed gone. “How did you two feline fucks let her out of her sight!? Fuck! I should’ve expected that the coward would just run away.”
Just as Ophelia turned back to the cat girls, she saw Olivia behind them. “Morons! Behind you!”
Before either of them could react, Olivia struck Sofia in the nap with the side of her hand and incapacitated the cat girl.
“You—” Portia attempted to jump up but was also struck down by the ninja girl and collapsed.
Olivia stood up next to the two unconscious cat girls and faced Ophelia.
“Shadow Step, huh?” Ophelia did not look pleased. “Allows you to slip into the shadows if nobody is looking at you, which means…” Ophelia turned to the huddled bunch of kids and yelled, “Not even a single one was looking at her either!?”
“They were probably too distracted by their psychotic, screeching jailor who keeps lashing out on those weaker than her,” Olivia said.
“Oh, you ain’t seen nothing yet,” Ophelia said and painted her fingers in Olivia’s direction. “With a precise amount of force at a precise spot you’re able to knock someone out…”
Ophelia aimed at the cat girls on the ground and zapped them both with a small amount of electricity, jolting their bodies off the ground.
“GHUAH!?” both cat girls were forced into consciousness.“So, waking them up is just as easy!” Ophelia grinned. “Hey, how about we do it again? If you’re all going to disappoint me with your combat skills, might as well entertain me in that way.”
“N-no, we can still fight!!” Portia begged on her knees and tried to get back up.
“Please don’t—” Olivia asked but was interrupted.
“SHUT UP!” Portia swung around with her arm out and launched her two jaw breaker’s at Olivia.
Olivia easily dodged both of the straight-flying balls.
“I’m not done yet!” Portia screamed, turned the jaw breakers around and using her other hand for control knocked the two jaw breakers into each other to suddenly alter their trajectory.
This attack was also within Olivia’s capabilities to avoid. But Portia did not relent. She kept knocking the jaw breakers together, chipping small pieces of them each time. However, each time the jaw breakers collided they also increased in speed as they zig-zagged across the hall, bouncing off the walls and each other, smashing every piece of furnishing in their path until eventually one of the jaw breakers got knocked at a bad angle against the other and zagged right into Ophelia’s head.
“GHAH!??” a thunderous lightning strike erupted at the point of impact. The jaw breaker flew off in one direction and Ophelia’s head was visibly knocked a few inches in the opposite direction.
“WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU AIMING!?” Ophelia howled, nearly popping a vein on her forehead. She then aimed both her hands at Portia and blasted the cat girl with so much electric magic that it knocked Portia off her feet and slammed her into a wall. “Incompetent! Useless! Pathetic! Trash!”
Sofia dropped on her knees and cried, “Please stop, I beg you!”
Olivia was surprised that the psychotic brat actually listened and stopped the assault before killing Portia outright.
“Oh, that’s right,” Ophelia turned her wrath toward Sofia, grabbed the cat girl by her ear and pulled her up by it. “What have you been doing all this time?”
“I-ow… I—” Sofia grimaced from the pain with tears already forming in her eyes.
An electric spark lit up right next to Ophelia’s left ear and knocked away a small rock that somebody threw at Ophelia.
“Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?” Olivia suggested while tossing a small rock up and down in her hand.
“Like you?” Ophelia let go of Sofia’s ear.
“Have either of those two ever been in real combat?” Olivia asked. “Or you just force them to bully kitchen staff and children in-between your tortures, and now you’re seriously wondering why they’re hopeless in a real life-or-death fight?”
“You are going to lecture me!?” sparks flew across Ophelia’s trembling hand. “How about I shove that rock up your sanctimonious ass and then ten more for good measure! What, did you think I have a weakness to rocks or something?”
Olivia did not think that. After all, Ophelia did not even a noticeable lump on her head after that jaw breaker struck her with enough force to shatter her skull into a million pieces. But each time the projectiles do seem to connect before getting repelled, Olivia thought. The reaction of her electric barrier is stronger against bigger attacks it seems. However, I can’t hurl a boulder at her with enough speed to hope to break through her barrier. Dropping a building on her head or throwing her out a window might work, but I still need her to talk. So…
Olivia aimed carefully and threw the small rock straight at Ophelia. It wouldn’t do serious damage even against a regular opponent, but—
“Are you soft in the head?” Ophelia laughed and easily evaded the small rock just by tilting her head a little. “If you think—AAARGH!!?”
Ophelia howled and covered her left eye with her hand. Just a second earlier another rock got thrown at her from a different angle. The rock was successfully repelled by Ophelia’s electric barrier, like always, but not before connecting with the surface, like always.
