Veronica doesn't even try to dodge: she knows there's no point against that attack. Instead, she has Nemesis hit the creature with a Razor Wind while the explosion rocks the ground, scattering debris everywhere.

When the dust clears, Veronica has been knocked off her feet; her Swords of the Savior uniform is charred, and she aches all over. But when she props herself up on one knee, she's smiling.

"Explosives against me," she remarks. "Some nerve."

And the Embers that she'd summoned using the dust cloud for cover streak towards her opponent.
