Kana watched the two boulders flying toward her and shattered them with one punch each. She had not expected Yukino to be hiding behind them. By the time Kana smashed the boulders, she was still in the recovery phase of her attack and had no time to defend herself. Yukino swung the claws in her hand at Kana.
"Sharp Claws!"
A hint of a smile flashed across Kana's lips. She had deliberately exposed that opening to lure Yukino into attacking her.

Although she could still attack, without the boost from the impact, she would have a hard time contending with Kana's Crushing Magic using only her physical strength. Besides, her body could not remain in contact with Crushing Magic for long.
