In a flash, Elisa disappeared from sight and before she knew it, Raella was sent flying into the air before falling unceremoniously on her ass. Placing her right hand on the floor, she used it as a pivot to spin round and face her opponent once more only to find Elisa crouching on the floor, already addressing her. However, being too caught up in her current predicament, Raella couldn't catch it, she could only hope it wasn't something important. With her mind thrown into an abyss of confusion and her voice expressing it even more so, Raella muttered:
"When did you...?"
Thinking back to Elisa's first attack, she eventually connected the dots - time manipulation. There was just no other explanation. With her confusion slowly dissipating and admiration filling its place, she then calmed herself down and kept her tone steady.
"Damn, I take that back. You're not just fast, it's like you just teleported or something."
Slowly standing back up again, Raella then brushed down the creases and folds on her onyx dress before facing Elisa. "Well, I have a few tricks up my sleeve too!" Fingers outstretched exposing the palm of her hand, she gestured her arm upwards, grasping hold of Elisa's senses and casting an illusion of the beach. Fine white sand scattered all over the shore while the pristine cobalt blue sea extended to the horizon. The lingering stench of shellfish engulfed the two as the coastal breeze playfully circulated them. The sound of waves crashing against a rocky terrain resonated through the vicinity, always constant and rhythmic much like the ticking of a grandfather's clock.
Lips curling to form a mischievous smirk, Raella then violently bent her elbow and retracted her arm, her palm now closed in a tight fist. Like a tsunami, the sea washed over them, propelling them into the unknown depths of the ocean.
"Now let's hope you can breathe underwater."
