Ryouko's enhanced weapon are faring quite well against the attackers, however, that's doing pretty much nothing against the hand holding her legs.

Tenshi is also doing well with brute force, as it seems to be more effective than the other holy methods!

However, this changes when a wisp of blue flame appeared in an area. It seemed to be stationary right now, though. Maybe something will happen if you clear the remaining monsters?

Once the immediate threats are taken care of, Ryouko turns her attention to the hands holding her legs. She grimaces, not sure how to approach this... but she's never been much for eloquent solutions. So she'll just do her best to force them off with a

"Sonic Blow!"

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Ryouko, hurry up, I think we need to keep clearing this stuff." Tenshi yelled over to Ryouko, after she had noticed the flame.

Clearing shouldn't be too problematic. She too made an effort to finish their part quickly enough, with some further slams.

[formalknight.livejournal.com]

Clearing the enemies. The small wisp of blue flame hovers above all the bodies of dead monster, before absorbing all of their bodies, this includes the hands Ryouko decimated just now.

After a while, the wisp is now a huge body of flame floating in the air. It begins to take a vaguely human shape, before it ends up looking like so.



...The man said nothing as he unsheathed his large sword, and charged at Tenshi.

[genderbent-thug.livejournal.com]

Ryouko wasn't sure what to make of this new creature, though it was certainly rather intimidating.

But she was never one for caution, and so simply charged at it. While she'd done it once already, it had great effect and is more or less her class's main skill so she'd try using it again.

"Sonic Blow!"

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

"What are you doing! I'm supposed to engage stuff like that first, you're the fragile wimp who attacks from behind, if at all!"

Tenshi yelled at Ryouko, and faced the armored person who, judging by sword, was probably somewhat tough. Raising her weapons, she prepared to sidestep (or jump over) a slash of that sword, after which she'd counterattack, trying a Holy Cross.

[formalknight.livejournal.com]

Seems like both Sonic Blow and Holy Cross does nothing as it just tinks off his armor, which is strange enough already.

Oh, by the way, its counterattack to Tenshi's attempt is swinging its huge sword at Tenshi in a huge arc that it also includes Ryouko.

[genderbent-thug.livejournal.com]

Ryouko was nearly caught by that swing, and would have been in considerable trouble if it had landed...

But with speed and agility that surprises even her, her body twists out of the way and dodges at the last second. The Increase Dodge of a Thief is quite useful.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

While Tenshi actually managed to auto guard the swing as she quickly raised her rocky shield. Annoyed that her attack did do nothing, she decided to rely on the properties of her weapon, not those fishy skills of this world, and simply stab it in an area that seemed less covered than the others: The stupid-ugly FACE.

[formalknight.livejournal.com]

It hits! Though, it would be anticlimatic if the blow finishes the guy off, won't it?

The monster roared as its huge sword is swung in yet another arc, and bullrushing Tenshi without giving any amount of care to Ryouko.

[genderbent-thug.livejournal.com]

If Tenshi was going for the face, Ryouko would go for the legs. Even this creature had to have some sort of the weakness, and if they could systematically take it down somehow that's what mattered. While she found it a bit distasteful to do, she soon shimmered out of existence as Cloaking set in.

And with that done, she shot around to attack the monster from behind, going for the back of its legs.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Tenshi pretty much was half thrown back, half moved back to escape the worst of the rush, but endured. Quite a heavy attack, however...

"You twit, prepare to vanish somewhere!" She yelled and, upon noticing that Ryouko had vanished somewhere (hopefully for a sneaky attack) focussed on defense, that is, moving out of the way of the blade and blocking when she couldn't.

[formalknight.livejournal.com]

And Ryouko's strike hits, causing the monster to stumble into the ground with a loud crash. Before anyone else could do anything though, the monster got up, and...

"YOU IMBECILES WILL PAY FOR THIS!

LORD OF VERMILLION!"

Suddenly, from the ground, explosions of fire and lightning begins to appear on the ground around the fighters, strangely, the monster is unharmed though!

[genderbent-thug.livejournal.com]

"Shit...!" Ryouko couldn't help but curse, as she began to struggle to dodge around the explosions.

Although she wasn't entirely successful, as some managed to hit her and throw her around.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Tenshi is of course closer to the enemy, and gets more hits. "Hey, thats my kind of attacks, don't copy them!" she shouted as she tried to graze those hits while still, of course, getting hit - more than Ryouko, due to her closer proximity.

"You JERK!"

Stabbitystab.

[formalknight.livejournal.com]

"Is that all?"

Turns out big, large and ugly just grabbed Tenshi's sword, and with a tug, threw both weapon and user into the other adventurer, before the man bellowed to the sky.

"Begone from the mortal realm, STORM GUST!"

And with that, a blizzard descended on the two, what's strange about this magical blizzard that it will only take a while for both of them to be frozen.

[genderbent-thug.livejournal.com]

Damnit, ice. Why did it have to be ice?

Ryouko grimaces as her movement slows, before coming to a stop. She just stares daggers at her foe, clenching her katars as she tries to force her legs forward once more. As seconds seem to taken an eternity, she begins to feel motion returning to her as she shoots forward.

Enough games.

"SOUL BREAKER!"

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Tenshi made her weapon Vanish before it could stab Ryouko, and picked it up while rushing out of the ice, just in time before it could freeze her solid.

Chucking a potion, Tenshi raced back towards the ugly hulk once the stormy whiel was allowing her to do so. Stabbing time once more.

[formalknight.livejournal.com]

Its countered by the big sword, and the monster took a step backwards, before breaking the clash with ease, and bringing his sword down like a hammer.

I hope Tenshi has a resistance to Hammer Falls

[genderbent-thug.livejournal.com]

While its attention is focused on Tenshi again, Ryouko will attack from behind.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Tenshi lacks resistance in general, and is momentarily stunned, however, she's a Vit Paladin, so the stun won't last long. Hopefully, she still is getting the attention for Ryouko's attack~

[formalknight.livejournal.com]

The monster is getting more and more injured! This is shown by it actually kneeling in pain from Ryouko's back stab. However, its not exactly out yet as it stood up, and with a roar, an aura surrounds it!

"No, it can't end like this! BOTH OF YOU SHALL DIE FOR THIS INSOLENCE!"

Two-hand Quicken in play, the monster suddenly becomes an agile tank that assaults both of you with rapid and heavy slashes!

[genderbent-thug.livejournal.com]

Ryouko does her best to dodge and parry blows with her katars, but her mastery of the katars is sadly somewhat lacking.

Even without the actual skills, she's still a bit clumsy with the unfamiliar weapons, after all.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Tenshi fared somewhat better, being used to avoiding a lot of stuff, but she realized that they couldn't do this forever.

"Yes it can end like this, you oversized dolt!" She yelled, stepped right next to him, and attempted to drive her translucent energy blade through a gap in the armor, deep into his chest. A somewhat risky move - some would call it Sacrifice - but she had spotted Ryouko getting into trouble, so it was worth the risk!

...

The sickening sound of a blade being stabbed into the heart could be heard. The large man just stood silently, still in mid-swing, as he began to fade into purple flames.

And with the man finally fading away, both of them are free to continue on the path towards the center of the destruction, the large thing at a distance wrecking the town.

The path is strangely empty though.
