Gabriel had learned from their previous fight. He adapted his tactics, mixing his temporal abilities with his martial arts in ways that caught Lilith off guard. He slowed time around her, then accelerated his own movements, striking from angles she couldn't predict.
But Lilith had also learned. She used her spatial abilities to counter his temporal manipulations, creating rifts that redirected his attacks. She blended her dark energy with her martial arts, her strikes carrying the weight of her demonic power.
They clashed again and again, their powers intertwining.
Gabriel created a temporal loop, trapping Lilith in a repeating sequence of movements. But she shattered it with a spatial rift, stepping out of the loop and counterattacking with a flurry of strikes.
She created a spatial cage around Gabriel, compressing space to crush him. He froze the cage in time, stepping out of it and creating a Blade of Light that he hurled at her.
