Her diamond missed again and she could feel her concentration fading fast. She had only a few more shots at this or else she would have little chance of escape. However, as luck would have it, his opponent began to taunt her, this overconfident babbling giving her a clear view of the exact location of his head. Abandoning the previous point of the spike acting as the spearhead for her assault, she shifted her focus onto a section of the spike that had passed near that position and from it sprouted off the newest point that would be where her powers wound advance from, sending it directly towards the underside of his exposed jaw with the intention of drilling through bone and flesh and into his brain; an unexpected and quick kill in his moment of glory as he least expected it.

She couldn't see how far she had gotten in her plan, however, as the strangling was beginning to have a major effect on her. Just at the crucial moment she could feel her mind numbing, her diamond crumbling to pieces and scattering to the floor at her feet. 

Meanwhile, the crowd was on the edge of their seat, holding a collective breath to see what had happened in that brief moment.
