Even in the moment of going for the throat she was still more coaching more teasing, it was who she was. Burrowed into the core of who she was, a sesire just to be tested and test others. The opposition was testing the waters, and Carmen's own words weren't so much to put him down but encourage going further in a sense. Moves of the speedster tear at the body and reacting to it helps flow into avoiding Carmen's own attack. The Dragonfang was next the sharp blade on one end and club like design sign of the other. The old man leaped and soon was balancing on the weapon. Which truthfully got a laugh from the devil.
How many instances of that were in media, the kung fu movies she loved or anime she got hooked on? How many times had she tried to drag Kore or other friends into binge watching, where she could gush over such moments. Of course her time with Grace maybe went more to singing the tracks of anime. Surely though just by way of being Carmen meant there was action on the screen, and the giant needing out. Then of course was just the way it reminded her of Noctua who did similar. In her first lesson with him and Kore the two took to standing on a fence, she weighed to much and wasn't that type. So she ripped the fence away.
Gawain rushes for the ladies in waiting, Carmen follows after. This was a fight to the death but she intended it to be the villain or her. Carmen trusted the others could hold their own of course but that also didn't mean she wanted to chance it. Before she can act however someone else did. The third main figure of MIRA arrived with a suit of iron and the dispensing of missiles. An explosion, midnight hair dances like an inferno behind Carmen by the force. The flames dance along her gloves, shrapnel rips holes and cuts some in the top. This wasn't friendly fire of course just the devil not concerned by being in the blast radius. She needed much more devastating ordnance to even feel it. Where Gawain was war torn from the missiles the Beelzebub Brute shrugged it off.
Fist of the knight connects with warlord a hole in the head forms and rather then wait to heal Gawain starts to turn. Carmen looks behind him to check something.
Just as he turns to meet her the Dragonfang is thrown. A blade that weighs more like a car is hurled as if escaping a rail gun, a thunderous boom to follow. The blade looked to rip through midsection and then just keep going. Provided it went through the mark it would likely travel for miles through bog and forest, a trail of fallen trees as the obstructions barely slowed it down. Really though this, the rail gun of a seven foot tall blade that was the distraction. Something meant to keep his hands busy as the pair closed the gap, something to defend against meaning an opening for another follow up.
Bordering on same time the pace they moved being what it was her now free hand would flatten. Not a punch but a open palm given her claws it made for a spear tip. The force of a punch that would demolish a city block directed into the width of nails. The jab would look to thrust toward sternum, ideally piercing the bone ribcage likely fragmenting like a grenade as the clawed hand looked to dive through heart and then outside the spine!
Those were her two attacks there wasn't time for another. No excited yell as the brawl got her heart racing. No Gawain made the move because he had a he a debut waiting an attack building up. Carmen would look to catch this move, head pushing into her palm. Similarly to the devil would push back aiming to muffle the explosion. Keep it between his head and her hand...
Pass or fail though the explosion was going tonhave certain elements to it. Hard to say how her costume would fair, her durability meant she could handle the explosive sound as much as the force. Truthfully Carmen was now known for hitting like nukes the force of this only bruised her hand a small fracture in a knuckle, a few cuts the pain was tolerable. The heat warmed her skin it was turning red fitting but nothing deadly. What mattered was two things one the flash! Contained or not the glow of nuclear bomb before the mushroom crowd was blinding, and while it hadn't burned out her eyes yet all she could see for a moment was a sheet of white. Eyes would be darting around in a frenzy not able to make sense of the world!
Secondly was radiation. Be Carmen allowed to contain the blast or not it still meant either way she was at the epicenter of the detonation. The results from this soon to be determined. Soon as the smoke cleared and the flash of light subsided to actually see it...
