Chapter 31 Bloom Of Madness

• "Kuak!!" Valentina staggered, blood frothing at her lips. Her retaliatory swing met empty air as Lux pirouetted away, Rebellion left embedded in the vampire's gut. The world was so bright now for Lux, every surface begging for floral embellishment. A particularly lovely rock? A flower stand. A broken spear shaft? A vase. She gathered them all with tender care, each new "bloom" she placed in Valentina's flesh accompanied by girlish giggles.
• "How are you moving like this?!" Valentina growled, eyes narrowing in disbelief.
• Lux’s speed hadn’t changed—it was exactly the same as before. But something was different. Every movement she made felt unnatural, erratic, almost impossible to read. She weaved through attacks with absurd unpredictability, her body shifting in ways that defied logic and form.
