Dark Gold patterns on the surface of her skin suddenly flared, and her entire arm swelled by a full size.
CRACK!
The first man's skull was easily crushed.
His body slumped to one side, his ruined pupils dilating, his eyes still filled with the last vestiges of terror.
The corpse crumpled to the ground.
Without a glance, Adelle balled her left hand into a fist and slammed it into the second man's back.
The punch, wreathed in a terrifying sonic boom, smashed against the Shadow Shield the man had hastily raised.
BANG!
The Shield shattered like paper.
Her fist, losing none of its momentum, drove solidly into the man's back, right over his heart.
SQUELCH!
The muffled crunch of shattering ribs mixed with the wet sound of rupturing organs.
The second man flew backward, crashing through a side wall and embedding himself in the pile of rubble.
He went silent.
Two breaths. Two kills.
