Yet, Nika couldn't help but hide a mischievous smirk, knowing she had gotten under Lillith's skin. She played it up, feigning tears to make Lillith appear as wicked as possible, a sore loser who couldn't accept defeat. Nika couldn't wait to finally hear that crowd rooting for her again, but first, she needed to break free from Lillith's grasp.
However, the exhaustion from the grueling match made it difficult for Nika to keep up with Lillith's strength. Lillith's hands, large and powerful, quickly drained the color from Nika's face, shifting from smugness to panic. Nika thrashed her limbs desperately, but they soon grew weak and unresponsive. As Lillith snapped out of her panic, Nika's body went limp and collapsed to the ground like a ragdoll.
Originally, Nika had planned to deliver another lightning knee as Lillith attacked her post-match like she had orchestrated, to make it appear she had no tolerance for underhanded sore losers. However, it seemed like she had once again come up short. Yet, all was not lost. The boos that usually accompanied Nika's presence were absent this time, replaced by a collective gasp of shock since they weren't used to seeing Lillith that way.
The taste of triumph was hers, and her very first at that, but she was completely knocked out, unable to bask in her glory.
