The storm above seemed to swell with the ferocity of the world around him as he attempted to catch up to Hitomi after she had left him behind. The fierce rain and howling winds almost masked the sounds of battle but something about it only made Seika feel more at home in this battlefield of chaos and carnage. It was something about the possible death and destruction in an unknown environment that Seika's blood pumping the most and had him essentially on what would be considered high alert. His hands gripped the shaft of his staff tightly as his body started building up to a rather slow yet steady speed as he vaguely attempted to follow after his Captain. It was one of the few times where he cursed his lack of training outside of missions and vowed to actually bother with increasing his latent speeds sometime down the line if he made it out of this situation.

With these things in mind, his head snapped up as he heard something different from the constant howls of wind and the slap of rain. It was even more distinct than the distant sounds of battle that were far more mute that what was now before him. The object seemingly had decided to engage with him, a single beep accompanied by what could only be considered a wave of energy. It was something that caused Seika to frown as he willed the flames of his staff to surround him. With this thought, heat began to flow from his body, surrounding him suddenly and protecting him from the harsh rain as a wave of fire blasted out from around his body with the intention to meet the wave. However before the fire could interact with the wave, the wave itself dissipated into nothing as it was suddenly dispersed and then dragged away in the direction of Hitomi. Confusion would cross his face as he looked over in the woman's direction as he watched her finish consuming the spell. He had actually never seen the woman use any magic and now that he thought about it, he never even bothered to ask. For once however, he was thankful that the woman had some way of dealing with the issue because he himself wasn't even sure if his own impromptu way of defending himself would've been enough to stop it.

Seeing that the immediate threat was dealt with, he continued on attempting to catch up with his superior when he saw that she had decided to speed up the process by heading back towards him. Figuring that the woman wouldn't want to be immolated while assisting him, he would drop the flames that now encircled him and would welcome back the cold reality as the rain once again began to fall upon his form. It would not take long for Hitomi to reach him and he felt himself feel a bit embarrassed as he was scooped up into the woman's arms and whisked away to the battlefield. It would not take them too long, and he wasn't too sure if the device or being would follow them, so he would keep his senses open for any other attacks that may or may not come from it as they arrived.

Hitomi would place him back on his feet as he held his staff at the ready. Heat surrounded both as the rain began to slowly ignore his presence due to the rising heat and magical energy that he began to dredge up. Next time he would be ready to assist Hitomi rather than the other way around.

Panther Lily indeed didn't get into the range he had wanted to in order to swing his blade at the robotic machine. The robot had indeed laughed when it saw Panther Lily couldn't reach it and flew off somewhere else for some unknown reason. Panther Lily had indeed took note of the man that immediately jumped out of the window when he had hit maximum range of his flight capabilities, aiming his sword downward at Panther Lily. Panther lily had more than enough time to respond to the man jumping out of the window since he immediately jumped while Panther lily's focus was still focused on both the robot and him. Panther Lily would immediately and simultaneously maneuver himself through the air a meter away from the tower as well as the initial drop point of the opponent and enter his battle form turning him into a six foot, five humanoid cat. With this transformation, his Musica blade had all extended and grown to be roughly two meters as well. As Lily watched the man descend towards his previous location, Panther Lily timed his horizontal sword slash in order to target the flat side of the blade, dealing enough damage to shatter the man's katana.

Panther lily wasn't done however as he continued to blade towards the torso of the man. He was wearing some kind of armor which his blade continued to slam into, carrying over the leftover force into the armor. Panther Lily thought to himself this guy must be some sort of amateur if he thought he could land an obvious blow on him like that while he was still looking at him. Well, at least all Panther Lily did was destroy the man's equipment as it seems he'd come out unharmed from all this. Hopefully, he'll learn his lesson. As this event was taking place, it seems the female member of the enemy troupe had traveled underneath them where the entrance of the tower was. It seems like she was preparing to attack him if this man was successful in their plan. Unfortunately for them, he hadn't been and only the man would be falling down alone without his weapon. Panther Lily would fly three more meters away from the tower keeping his eyes on both of the enemies that had been engaging him in combat. He'd then descend to the ground until he landed, nine meters away from the entrance of the tower, cancelling Aera. Looking at the two opponents in front of him, his blade at the ready.

Meanwhile, Shichiro himself was still in a battle with the adversary in front of him. Previously, he had reacted to his opponent's upward sword swing with a punch from his left fist. The enemy had attempted to retreat by lifting his right foot in order to step one step backwards up the tower. Immediately as Shichiro noticed the man lift his right leg up, he'd simultaneously leaned his upper body forward slightly, lowering his head, lunging towards his opponent by a foot. He'd expend all of his speed in this motion in order to prevent his opponent from retreating from the punch he threw. The punch would still be in range to hit the man's bicep as he intended as they were still a few inches away from each other. Additionally, Shichiro would simultaneously slam his head into the lower side of his opponent's torso and in doing so, knocking him over, interrupting any further action he might have planned to take. If all goes well, both of his attacks should land and defeat the opponent in front of him. He'll admit, the pain he felt from the blade's strange magical effect was so uncanny that he could feel it even through his armor and had it harm him directly. He could even feel some of his worst fears creeping in which unnerved him. He could tell immediately this draconic power that was on par with his own. 

Shichiro would place his hands on the man’s forehead in an attempt to steal this power and make it his own but alas, it was even too powerful for him to obtain. It was a shame he couldn't assimilate this power and make it his own but that's besides the point. He'd make note to keep an eye on this one as he had some interest in him. Other than that, his real goal remained at the top of this tower. Should he be victorious in this bout, he'd step over the unconscious man's body before scooping him up with his left arm in order to bring him up the tower with him. He couldn't risk one of his teammates finding him like this and carrying him off to safety or something. Looking up the tower, he could spot another person peering at him. he was unsure how long he's been there but he knew he'd have to apprehend that man too to discern their identity as well as the man he was currently carrying under his left arm.

Knuckles Shi

As Knuckles stepped off the ledge and went down through the air, his timing seemed to have been off. The flying cat seemed to keep his attention on the armored man as he descended downward. The Cat moved back with flight 1 meter, at the sight of the Cat's movements Knuckles leaned forward placing his feet onto the wall of the tower as he was right next to it since he had stepped out the window and not jumped.  His legs pressed across the stone wall as the cat transformed, growing in size and possibly power. Knuckles would push his legs off the stones at this moment lunging downward towards the ground for 5 meters a second,  by the time he moved Panther Lilly would be swinging his blade but found only air and the tower wall in the swing. The dodge was effective but barely, it seemed the sword had grown as well, increasing the striking distance.  

As this occurred the machine of Ariael reached the two newcomers to the battle,  though Knuckles had no idea of what was to happen or had happened in the time of little exit of the tower till now he knew he was into a fight now.  His body touched the ground and his eyes moved up to the Large Humanoid creature. A smile was worn on his face as he was near Jikan now, the two of them about a meter or so away.  It was then the two new faces came into the picture of his sight, a man being carried by a woman. Sucking his teeth it seemed as if the odds were starting to stack against him, thankfully Jikan was here though he hated to admit it, he would need her help.

It was in the air, even with the howling winds and rain that stung the sick on impact. The smell of battle was thick, for all those involved it would surely be a tale to tell at a later date. With his shield and sword in each of their respective hands, he tucked his body into the shield and placed his back onto the wall of the tower. He made sure to keep the two new people and the cat in the same sight picture using his peripheral vision not focusing directly on either of the two, but he had no choice but to act. Sitting here against the tower would make him an easy target for those seeking harm to him.

The cat now had a flight over him, and he did not know of the power between the two new people who had joined the frame of combat. Knuckles had to make a choice, but what would he choose? Perhaps he could call out the Large Cat into a one-on-one, but then Jikan would be left out in the weather to face two people alone.  Though he did not know the woman that well or even owe her enough to fight by her side, he had known her honor of combat to be true from their bout in Baska. Though in this situation there would be no honor there would only be victorious.

Actions had occurred that were for the best for one, but worst for another. The person in particular would be up for future debate. The man had attempted to perform a lunge, but it was physically impossible for him to complete it as the lunge occurred during Ariael's swing and not after it was done. With the sword's swing stopping the lunge, Ariael didn't have to worry about the headbutt hitting him as it allowed him to perform the necessary actions that were needed in order to avoid it. Even if he did not attempt to evade, Ariael's strength alone allowed him to withstand the lunge with the force of his sword which also led him to not worry about the punch hitting his arm as it was depending on the man actually completing the lunge to hit. With his shield now facing the Kingsguard, Ariael sword would swiftly make its way to the man's outstretched arm as he had failed to invade the second attack that the Mage Hunter had performed earlier.

After placing another attack on the man's arm, Ariael would simply raise his sword a few inches before delivering yet another strike. However, Ariael did not not aim for a specific spot with his third strike. The blade simply danced downward diagonally, making sure not to impact its movement by any foreign objects. It was the exact opposite of his first attack. This time going from the man's shoulder, over his chest, and across his hip. The swing would hit regardless of how the man moved due to the length of Ariael's blade, but if the man did it evade, it would be glorious.

After firing its attack, Asimov would begin to ascend once again and reach its maximum flight of fifteen meters. He would begin to follow the woman back towards the battlefield where the showdown between Jikan and Knux vs the cat was ongoing.

Jikan

Blur of actions and movement was all around Jikan, her body and mind tight as they happened and after as her nerves steered themselves as the combat began to move to another level. The cat, if Jikan had to admit it adorable looking, known as Panther Lily was in the air, at first glance being unaware of Knux preparing to attack from above. The cat was flying, and noticed Knux's movement, using the wings on his back, the cat adjusted his body and movement. Flying 1 meter away from the pat that Knux and Jikan was on. After which the cat, did something that was little for a better other words, a poof. Activating some type of magic to change, moving from that once small black cat into not a full grown buff musclar cat like an that was about six feet and five inches tall. With a full grown beard! The cat's body was not the only thing that changed though, the weapon that the animal had on him changed, no longer looking like its toy sword appearance but now like a full fledged real weapon. Measuring about 2 meters long in length. The strength of this sword was unknown to Jikan, but from her guess, she would assume that the sword got stronger, sharper even, just like she would expect from the cat given his possible physical changes due to the transformation.

The warrior cat then lashed out, throwing a horizontal slash upward to where Knux would have been as he stepped off the edge of the window, concern for her potential red haired ally was on her mind, the size of the sword being much longer and possible to hit him. But he appeared to take a note out of Jikan's book, pressing his feet against the stone wall and jumping off. In one quick motion, vanishing from the path that the cat had his sword on, avoiding the initial blow as well as the follow up continued strike. "See, agility helps".

Maybe the situation was not the best place for I told you so, but she did not really care. She had to lwet out a little stress at the little mess she found herself in. And she had not even said yes!! These were Rune Knights though, who enjoyed capturing bounties as a pass time from her understanding of their group. And her she was, right there for them amongst the others.

But there was no time to be pissed off about the situation, for the cat would use its wings to move more, flying three meters to put a final distance of four meters from it and Jikan and Knux and five meters away from the tower's wall. Canceling what was seemed as magic, for the magical wings on the feelings back disappeared and cause his body to drop to the ground his sword out towards Jikan and Knux.

Knux was on the ground now, close by and not that far from Jikan, only a meter from her or less. And then the situation seemed to get even more ridiculous. Two more figures appeared out of a clearing of trees, a man and a woman. The man being carried by the woman before being placed on the ground on his feet. The woman appearing to have some type of sword and the man held a staff. Flames danced around both of them, hissing and evaporating the water from the rain that sprinkled on them. Given that the man held the staff out, Jikan assumed that that weapon, and by proxy him, was the source of the fire.

Now she was in a pickle. An unknown duo, one likely using fire magic or at least a fire weapon were a meter away from the tower and two meters away from them, the cat that Jikan and Knux had already engaged with, was about four meters from them, and five meters away from the tower. It was unwise to fight an unknown enemy, specially when there was two of them. Add the magic fire circle around them that was pretty much a shield, that made them even more unappealing to face. She would have to pay attention to them and the cat.

With little more known to do Jikan would nod towards Knux as she sped off, running towards the cat warrior. Approaching from the side that held his weapon from the outside. She moved to ensure that both the cat and the duo were still in her sight either from the front or the side. Using her inital running speed of 6.25 meters per second, Jikan continued to hold her arms up ready to attack and defend herself, she closed in on the cat warrior in a little bit under a second. 8/10th of a second, Jikan arrived on the right side of the cat, on the outside of his sword arm. She would throw her attacks out hard and precise, a side ways kick to the cat's right knee that was closest to her, and two side ways hammer strikes, one aimed at the cat's right arm and the other at the cat's exposed side. She would then circle around the cat, sliding her feet as she spun around to the cat's back. Hands up ready to respond to any moves the cat would do and keeping the duo and Knux in her path of sight.

Things were about to get rough around here...

Miyamoto Akuma †
Seeing the near dead experience that Ariael facing, Akuma feel really angry and disappointed at himself because he can't really do anything to help him fighting with Shichiro. Being the princess that everyone protect while staying in this tower is likely the best explanation for this situation, but Akuma feels like this have to stop right now and he really have to do something to fight back, at least try to do something. When he see that Ariael's fight with Shichiro is getting way more dangerous, Akuma decided that he have to join the fight, even though he might not be a big help or something. Since Akuma is the one that Shichiro wants from the very beginning, Akuma feels bad that he bring danger to his friend.

Akuma then snap his fingers summoning two magic seal under his feet and a glowing light start shrouds his feet, allowing him walk on any surface like it was on the ground. Akuma then run out of the window and run down on the wall towards the ground and heading to the entrance of the tower. With his speed combine with Helios, he reach the ground in less than 1/2 seconds. He enter back the tower from the bottom part toward Shichiro and Ariael. This way, he comes at Shichiro from an unexpected way, from behind him, and with their position from the ground, Akuma reach them less than 1 second. When he reach them, Akuma swing his sword at Shichiro from behind aiming for his head.

Hitomi Minamoto †
There was far too much information to process once she arrived with Seika, but one thing was for certain. With a swift movement, she released her blade from its sheath. She knew that black cat, she knew it before she even got in the area, she could smell him with all the strength that her dragon slayer abilities afforded her. With the man and woman backed against the wall of the tower, she wasted no time in raising her blade into the sky. She saw all that she needed to in order to deem the two redheads enemies along with that cursed robot, in fact, she would go a step further and assume they were working with the man she was hunting. With a storm already brewing it began to grow significantly worse when she raised Kusanagi.

Heavy rain poured down, strong winds picked up, lightning and thunder filled the sky. It was almost instantly that thunder struck down onto the two red heads and the flying robot. If the attack didn't instantly down the beings that it did hit, then she would swiftly bring her sword down in a way that would protect the front of her body. Keeping close to Seika, she couldn't risk having him be hurt. She wouldn't let anyone touch him if she could help it. This meant that she needed to be as close as possible or risk having another attack come for him as it did with that damn robot, which was still around. " You are all under arrest. If you make any more violent acts towards us, I will use more lethal force! I'm only going to warn you once. DO NOT RESIST ARREST! YOU ARE OUTNUMBERED AND OUTCLASSED!" Her words rang clear above the heavy rains and the boom sounds of thunder. She was being merciful this once, and only this once. At this point Hitomi was on her guard, she would only make a move if they continued to do so or if Seika decided he wanted to put someone down himself.

The close proximity of Hitomi meant that Seika couldn't possibly use his staff as much as he wanted too without immolating her as well with his staff's fire techniques. Of course it seemed that she was taking the more defensive approach to the situation anyway as she had readied herself to strike down on those who she deemed a threat to the safety and security of the people. It was rather awe inspiring for Seika as the woman swiftly dealt with her problems, the sword in her hands flashing as she performed the fastest unsheathing into a rising swing he had ever seen performed before. The following instance lead to the storm increasing in fervor and a loud series of cracks that happened almost simultaneously before a roaring thunder tore through the clearing and tower. There was no sign of visible damage, there was no moment to even think about what was going on, everything that happened was, and everything that could have happened was not to be. The woman swiftly arrived and essentially shut the shit down with one action that defined all other interactions that would go forth. As such, and as her junior, Seika would deem it necessary to follow in her footsteps as certain actions and actors would likely still happen if things didn't go completely to plan.

As such, as Hitomi pulled her sword out and commanded the heavens above, Seika would also hold out his left hand in the direction of the two fighters who were facing off against Panther Lily, both fighters were clearly in his line of sight and thus he was fully prepared to answer all challenges to his authority as he saw fit. With a resounding snap of his fingers, his authority was cast outwards, expelling forth a torrent of magical fire that defied all logic before it as it expanded outwards to a width of one meter before ripping through the clearing safely past Hitomi as she was so close to his body that the flames could not have possibly touched her. The flames would either consume or fly past the two fighters until they reached a distance of fifteen meters before stopping suddenly at the end of their range. The roar of the flames would be matched and surpassed only by the crack of the heavens as another figure entered the fray, slinking past and around the mayhem was another figure that Seika determined was not part of their forces.

The figure seemed to want to ignore the current confrontation and seemed solely focused on the entrance to the tower for whatever reason. This however was grounds for Seika to prevent him from entering, and with a simple stomping motion that took no time at all and that would occur literal moments after snapping his fingers, another magic circle would appear underneath him and Hitomi before appearing right at the entrance of the tower, encompassing the entire entrance so that the figure couldn't ignore it. Moments after appearing, a large tower of flames would immediately erupt from the magic seal, filling the entire area and blocking it from view and entry. The tower of flames itself would stop just before it could immolate Seika and Hitomi as they were rather close to the tower themselves, however Seika made sure that neither spell would harm them nor hinder their ability to perceive their opponents.

The two groups would hopefully be halted from progressing forward by his actions, and while his left hand was definitely preoccupied by maintaining the spell, and he was currently forced to hold his position due to the pillar he was also maintaining, he still had his staff in his right hand and his commanding officer just to his left beside him to keep him from danger.

His actions would proceed Hitomi shouting out her demands, but now that he heard them over the roaring of the flames and the heavens, he was more than certain that they would have this situation under control. With the visual confirmation of Panther Lily, Seika could only hope that Ser Uchida could clean up whatever was going inside of the tower quickly enough for them all to wrap up the situation that was now deteriorating on the outside of the tower.

Standing his ground, Panther Lily was ready to retaliate from the two opponents in front of him. Recalling a certain situation that had passed a few seconds ago, it seems his opponent tried to do some weird maneuver in an attempt to evade his counterattack. The opponent had watched him fly away a meter from his initial position to move out of his way. What the opponent did next didn't really make much sense to him as he had already put himself in a position to where he was directly above Panther Lily who was five meters away from the tower's surface. Unless the opponent was over sixteen feet tall or had some sort of strange stretching magic to reach the tower from his position, all he managed to do was flail in the air thus still being hit by Panther Lily's sword. Back to the present at hand, he was ready to continue the fight with his opponents until he had spotted two familiar presences near the tower's entrance roughly a meter or so. Two meters from the opponent's he faced. They were Seika and Hitomi, ones who have worked alongside Shichiro before on multiple endeavors. Smirking a bit, he was quite pleased with their presence as it meant reinforcements had arrived.

He didn't know if they were called by him or if it was a happy coincidence. Regardless, he was grateful. Hitomi had raised their sword into the air which didn't seem to do much in his eyes, immediately after three opponent's were struck by a loud sound of thunder as if lighting had just been there itself. It was quite a nasty move on her part and he was unsure if the blow could be evaded. At the same time, Seika had unleashed two fire spells in an attempt to hit Jikan and block the entrance from another opponent who had emerged from the tower and was running down from it. He wondered how they would deal with that as two interruptions that had surfaced. Panther Lily held his ground however, waiting for something else he might need to respond to occur. Readying his blade he'd prepare to defend himself or attack if needed. Should Jikan continue in their action to advance, Panther Lily would be ready to retaliate. When Jikan entered within two meters of Panther Lily's range, he swung his blade horizontally at Jikan's waist in an attempt to strike them first. If nothing happened, he'd just continued to stay where he was, looking for an opening to attack.

Meanwhile, Shichiro's opponent had attempted to stop him with the sword but there were a few problems with that. Shichiro had lunged when his opponent's sword was still in motion and not after the sword had connected. It would be uncanny if his opponent could stop Shichiro's lunge with his strength alone considering he's a tier below him in strength and attempting to hold him at bay with the awkward positioning of his sword. Shichiro could simply push into the sword with his armor and continue his action normally.  Lastly, seeing as the step didn't really create any distance between them, it would seem the opponent was always in range for Shichiro's oncoming attacks. All he's done was waste movement so Shichiro's attacks would connect smother. Shichiro would continue on with his actions as he planned, traveling up the tower with his fallen opponent underneath his arm. He had to round up all of them and bring them into custody. He'd continue to walk up the tower until he made it to the top to see about the let's person up there.

His katana laid broken at his feet and his shield dropped to the ground after taking a direct hit to the chest from the sword of Panther Lilly, a boom would be heard as his body struck the ground from an attack from the female Rune Knight. Flames raged around him soon after causing his eyes to roll to the back of his head and his breath left his body. His body laid onto the ground as smoke rose from his body and rained poured down onto him. His will to fight is unable to carry him any further in the conflict at hand. It did not matter who much he wished to fight on, he was simply not able to compete with the magic of this scale, something he could not react to. Even if he had used his mana and the spell within his armor, he would not be able to outrun the Thunderous strike that had landed, his shield would not have been able to block it. Even the fire mage on site had a weapon that would have meant trouble if he had got the chance to get into range. At the end of the day, he was just out equipped, his enemies have the better gear and numbers. The red-haired man only drifted into a dream state of mind as he laid motionless on the ground and out of the fight.

Jikan

With the two new arrivals on the battlefield, there was not telling on how the scales of combat between warriors and magic users would tip. But if these two were even a smidge close to the power of Shichiro Uchida, the situation was going to become extremely difficult and a pain in the ass. With this cat outside, Jikan originally thought that they, maybe, could take out the mysterious man cat if they were smart and worked together. For the cat was a tricky and elusive opponent, hard to put down. And the fact that he came along with Shichiro, it would be a safe guess that whatever the cat could do, he was powerful at it. And given the large sword he wielded, it was a safe bet to assume it was melee, the same area of Jikan and Knux. They were even, working from the same dimensions. But these other two, they were not melee fighters, at least not outright. Both seemed to be magic users probably, the man using some type of fire and the woman wielding a sword, there was no telling what type of magic she used yet though.

Jikan was in the middle of her run, running at her initial speed of 6.25 meters per second with her eyes on the cat wielding the 2 meter long sword as she kept her eyes on the other two using her peripheral vision, the path leading her further away from the external wall of the tower. The fire magic user wielding the staff along with the woman were still about four meters from them, and five meters away from the tower. The duo were about 4.47 meters away from the cat that Jikan was approaching.

Unbegonest to Jikan, Miyamoto decided to get the move on. The snap of his fingers, the sound and motion that signaled the activation of one of his magic spells was unknown to her. His light magic circles formed under his feet while he was in the highest point of the 15 meter tall tower. In a blur of the glow of his gold magic color as his body came out of the tower’s window, light from his Helios dragon slayer magic was evident. How visible it would be from afar once he was outside due to the rain, wind, and debri would be tested. The boastful man was ready to show the other members of the possible Sleeping Calamity alliance the power he spoke of and the difference between them in comparison besides Ariael. The man was fast, running out of the tower at a blinding speed, swiftly moving down the large tower in half of a second, no, even less than that, it was more of a time of a 4th of a second. It was like the wind was pushing him as his body moved at the blinding speed of 35 meters per second thanks to the boost of his dragon slayer magic traits, Jikan had no knowledge of this though or the fact that he was out of the tower, her focus was solely on the three enemies before her and Knux. So she missed his momentary arrival before he ran into the tower. And she was glad she did not see him, she really could not afford to get distracted here.

Jikan saw the lady draw her sword, raising into the air pointing her blade to the sky. And at that moment the already active storm began to stir and brew even more, becoming worse and even more aggressive. It put her on edge. The already heavy rain poured down even more, like it was flooding, strong winds picked up, feeling like it had jumped several levels’ lightning and thunder filled the sky.

The man that tagged along with the sword wielding lady was not going to stay on the sidelines though. With his left hand out and a snap of his fingers, his magic came to life. A red magic seal 1 meter in diameter appeared above his outstretched hand. From the location a blast of magical fire shot forward, expelling outward before expanding to a meter in size aiming at the location that Knux and Jikan originally were, slightly in front of the wall, about a meter. However, Jikan was already on the move when the man cast his spell, moving horizontally at 6.25 meters per second as the man’s spell approached from a vertical angle traveling at a basic expected speed for a spell. However, given that the flame was only one meter in size, and that Jikan body had already moved, she had easily already stepped out of the spell’s range dodging it completely.  

Outside of Jikan paying attention to it, Seika had continued with a follow up spell. With a stomp of his feet and continued raised of the same hand, a 2 meter red magic circle would appear under Seika while a 2 meter magic circle would also appear by the entrance of the wall. After the Seika’s mana traveled to the spell location, his spell activated, coming up with a speed of 20 meters per second. However, Seika’s target, Miyamoto was fast, having moved down the 15 meter tall meter in less than a second, he was already moving at his full speed. Despite the magical debuff of the Rune Knight’s pendant, Miyamoto was still face, his natural speed not taking much of a hit and his body able to move 35 meters per second thanks to his Helios dragon slayer magic. Because of this, the man was in the tower and away from the fire magic’s spell. If Jikan knew of this man’s speed and sheer luck, she would be jealous. For Hitomi’s magic spell targeted the ones she saw and were aware of, thus being Jikan, Knux, and the Robot aid of Ariael. Given that Miyamoto was inside the tower and out of her sight when she casted the spell, he was not targeted by the spell and thus was not affected. The wall of fire was up, but just did not make it in time to stop him. Jikan and Knux were on the outside, stuck facing the three fighters, while Miya made his way inside, luck on the man’s side to evade or not be targeted by the spells the Rune Knights’ were using.

That was not the cast for Jikan though. She was outside, and even though she made a move to evade Seika’s fire ball, she still had to deal with Hitomi’s sword’s attack. Her witnessing the woman raising her sword into the air and the storm and weather picking up with intensity had put her on edge; she had no true idea what the lady was doing. She just knew something was coming. She was still in the early part of her run, only shorting the 4 meter distance between her and the cat by .5 of a meter, resulting in the distance between them to be 3.5 meters, when she turned her left hand’s up, and stopped, preparing to defend herself from whatever long range strike that may be coming. Immediately after turning her palm, a white 1 meter magic seal formed underneath Jikan and then a wide circular shield around her. It was only a guess and may be a waste of mana if she was incorrect, but from Hitomi movement of raising her sword into the air, Jikan assumed that Hitomi would be throwing out an attack, and with the weather responding to her, it had to be something related to the weather; water, wind, or perhaps even lightning.

And she was right, for a thunderous strike came from the energized clouds above them all, slamming down towards Knux and Jikan, the combine hits seeming to daze Knux; putting him down it seemed, if he would be able to get back up was something she couldn’t think about. For Jikan’s wind elemental defense spell was busy facing the blast of the magic spell. The spell worked to reduce the power of the attack aimed at Jikan but not enough to stop it. Resulting in Jikan’s spell to be beaten and thus, she suffered a thunder strike with reduced power. It came to the ground with a shock, sparks flying from its aftermath. The magic hitting Jikan’s location and causing a small dust cloud to be created on the spot Jikan was and a meter around her. Jikan would continue to run after suffering the thunder strike, shortening the distance between her and Panther Lily from 3.5 meters to 2.5 meters before jumping into the air by 2 meters. While doing that she would move a finger on her left hand, pointing it up into the air while keeping it to her side. She would continue to keep her eyes on Lily and the new Duo. Should Lily choose to go through with his horizontal slash, he would be met with air for Jikan would not be at the ground or the location that he had planned to strike at. In the air Jikan would continue with her momentum, throwing out a kick using her 1.5 meter long legs, aiming to hit the cat in the chest. If she was successful, she would attempt to flip behind the cat and throw two punches using her right hand at the cat’s back while coming to the ground. If he first kick missed, she would attempt to run to the left of Lily, putting a distance of 3.5 meters between them.

Jikan would not respond to the shorts given to her as a collection with Knux from Hitomi. She would only keep her eyes on them and Lily, reading herself for whatever they could do and watching for openings she could attack. She would not that the Duo were about 4.5 meters away from the location Lily and Jikan were if she was able to get behind the cat, if not, her other action would put her 7 meters away from the Duo and 3.5 meters away from Panther Lily.

Miyamoto Akuma †
As Akuma run down the tower, with his speed he notice that someone from a far is aiming his magic toward the entrance of the tower. With that guy magic, a flame tower appears blocking the entrance of that tower slightly a moment after Miyamoto passed the entrance. With the appears of that flame tower that happened really quick, it's normal to think or see the person was stopped or burn by the flame because of the brightness of the flame. Makes it normal for that man to think that he stopped Akuma before he made it inside that tower, but he didn't.

As Akuma get inside the tower, means that he could normally do what he planned to do and run up the tower towards Shichiro, trying to attack him from behind with a swing of his sword aiming for his head while Shichiro walks up stairs with Ariael's body towards the top of that tower. Still with his speed, Akuma could reach Shichiro in no time and launch his attack towards him before Shichiro arrives at room on top of that tower and before he's able to see the battle field from the top window of that tower

#38Hitomi Minamoto †

Hitomi Minamoto †
So the red-headed woman chose violence. Not immediately responding to an order given by a rune knight in regards to criminal activity was something Hitomi wasn't going to let slide. She watched the woman move and when she did Hitomi also moved. As quickly as the first thunderous strike fell from the sky, Hitomi handled her weapon with such grace and precision one would have thought she was dancing with it as she stood in place, the same place she had been since she arrived on the scene. Slashing Kusanagi in Jikan's direction in a horizontal swing, then slashing Kusanagi once more in Jikan's direction in the opposite direction horizontally, before finally piercing her sword forward in Jikan's direction. These swift and fluid movements may have looked slightly odd considering she wasn't actually hitting Jikan with her sword but with each action, she took a deadly spell was being shot out of her sword with accuracy and speed that perhaps the red-headed woman wouldn't be able to respond too quickly, and even if she did she wouldn't be able to respond to them all.

The first slashing of her sword came with an arc of lightning that is five meters wide and one centimeter thin. the arc leaving the blade caused a sound like thunder crashing. This first of the three attacks came directly towards Jikan's neck, as she was already given a warning about what would happen if she resisted arrest. Since the distance between the two was less than five meters apart there would be little chance she was outrunning this attack, but who knows perhaps a miracle would happen in the redhead girl's favor. The rain at this point had soaked down Hitomi to the bone. She wanted to go back to her hotel suite and soak in a hot bath and drink champagne while a strong man rubbed her aching feet which were currently placed in some black boots that she had been walking around in all day long.

The second slashing of her sword came with another arc of lighting, tho this arc was shorter, as it matched the length of her blade which was 1.5 meters long. She aimed her attack at the red head's neck as well but if the arc hit Jikan it wouldn't hit her neck at all. No, the next attack was much different from the last, as if it would hit it would do no damage, instead, it would turn into multiple slashes hitting the left leg, right leg, left arm, and right arm. It will deal C-rank damage to each of these limbs. There was no thunderous sound with this attack, it was silent yet just as deadly as the last. Hitomi would hope to see some ripping of clothes, some blood displayed, some trauma inflicted on the woman. Hitomi had learned something about herself and it was that disrespect would not be tolerated or ignored. She was a vengeful individual and anything that is seen as a slight against her would be returned in blood tenfold. Hitomi's regard for human life at this point had been reduced and likened to the storm itself, though unlike a storm she could tell friend from foe.

The third and final attack, one that saw Hitomi pierce her blade forward directly towards Jikan's torso came with a three meters wide and tall beam. This spell, like her first spell, came with a thunderous applaud. The attack being the strongest of the three when it came to raw power. With the range between her and Jikan and nothing but space between them, Hitomi was certain that each attack that was carefully placed would be able to hit her target, the red-headed woman who dared defy her. " I already told you what would happen. I would applaud your bravery but what you did wasn't brave. You are stupid. Your brain is obviously used for decoration. Outnumbered and Outclassed is what I told you the first time. You watched as your comrade fell yet you still decided to go against three members of the Rune Knights. " She spoke as the beam shot from her sword and when the last word fell from her mouth she lunged at Jikan, the sword still in its position intending to pierce where the red-headed woman's heart was. The space she cleared between them was almost instant and she dared the woman to try to find a way out of it.

Hope was an emotion not fit for this encounter apparently as movement and actions that had taken place before, were seemingly happening again without recourse or reason. Logic was thrown away in this cacophony of madness as both sides of the ordeal had determined that negotiations had failed and that violence was the only answer to this problem that they had all created. With these thoughts in mind, and only a fraction of time to actually react to his superiors movements, as well as his opponents, Seika would release his hold on the magic of the snap, just long enough for the flame to erupt and cover the full area and grow to full prominence, but for a short enough time that he was able to shift his body towards his true approaching target. Life was full of many funny little anecdotes and variables. There were often situations where life could just smack you in the face and tell you that you were being stupid about something and that you should've listened and ate your Wheaties or something along those lines that was full of nonsense yet truly inspiring because it got you out of a stupid situation that you yourself got yourself into. Well for his opponent, life happened to be the pike he landed on rather unceremoniously due to effectively falling out of a fifteen meter high window and shooting straight to the ground instead of hooking on to the surface like he had planned. This was all to say that his opponent likely either wasn't very intelligent, or things like physics and logic just were incomprehensible for him and as such made from a very telling yet serene moment for Seika as he gazed upon his now impaled prey with disinterest and pity. It was not his fault that the stupid chose to challenge the heavens, so he would not take the blame when he had to punish those who would place themselves in situations that would put them in extreme harm. Unfortunately for not only his opponent but the reader, we'll have to back track just a bit to see how exactly we got here.

Foot impacting and planting into the ground like he was some sort of vengeful god on a warpath, his magical energy coalesced into a turbulent wave of fury as the energy rushed from his body into the ground, and then out into the space just in front of him, filling the entire area with light, heat and fire. These were all things the glorious author had said and done before, but recounting them made for extra word count and funny things for the readers to point at and laugh and call nonsense, but that was neither here nor there. Regardless, the actions and the order of said actions that Seika had already performed had not changed, yet as he now gripped his staff with two hands and regarded his now approaching opponent who was for his part falling rather quickly for a man with base speed, Seika could only hope that his strike would land true in the coming moments. Of course there was some things that Seika could do to keep the man in place and away from the door along with the pillar of flames that he was not only seemingly ignoring but also adamantly trying to fall through as if they weren't there. And so with a mental command and a rush of magic, the area around him was suddenly immolated up to four meters away, of course he would wait until the man was within swinging range of his staff however to do this just to prevent him from walking out of range upon realizing that he was in fact on fucking fire now.

Of course this meant that Seika had to have patience, and aim, two things he really didn't have the space nor time for, but was liberally abusing in spades as he shifted his grip on his staff more towards the top and prepped his actions. It was as his opponent got up to the two meter mark away from him and the door that he would strike, shifting the pointy end of his staff up and off the ground quickly and aiming it somewhere along the gut, more towards the stomach than the lower intestines to get maximum value for his strike. His aim was more to impale his opponent, who like the author said, seemed incredibly adamant about heading into the tower for some reason or another, Seika didn't know or care to find out really, talking was out of the question with these ruffians who seemed to be more interested with bringing about more violence than anything else. It would however be about the time that he lifted his staff up and pierced the man's skin that he would inevitably being immolating the entire air around him for four meters. This would mean that if the man continued on his path he would not only be stabbed likely in the stomach, but also burned alive while pierced prompting Seika to extract maximum value, effort, pain and suffering from his opponent and swing the poor man into the wall next to the door to effectively pin him where he would not only be burned by the aura of his staff, but also by the flames of his pillar. This would be possible by literally stepping forwards just slightly to maintain his balance without lifting his foot that was maintaining the pillar while thrusting upwards with the sharp end of his staff. Upon impaling the man if he was successful, it would be as simple as taking a step back with the same foot he stepped with and shoving the man in the direction his body was facing to slam it into the wall. All of these actions would happen incredibly fast, far too fast for the man to react to him with, and would be incredibly difficult for him to draw the sword that was still sheathed on his person. All of these actions would insure that the man would receive maximum pain for his actions, and would ensure that the culprit was sufficiently culled to prevent further disruption of civil peace in the area.

Of course all of these actions would happen simultaneously to the byplay between his superior and the other two opponents across the way, something Seika was still mindful of even as he accosted his own opponent. Like the Author had stated earlier, his superior had apparently taken affront to the actions of their opponents, the lack cooperation with their demands making the woman all the more agitated, and there for violent. It was almost providence then when she effectively began to accost her opponent as well, ignoring the boy who had for all intents and purposes been battered and bruised by the forces that be. It was actually so tragic what happened to the boy that the Author will dedicated the next paragraph or two to describing it for excess words and humor.

So to recap, the boy had apparently thought that he could do the impossible and had the ability to fly with heavy armor on, and as such had deemed it possible to fight with Shichiro's airborne companion, Panther Lily. Now Seika was firmly aware of, and understood just how strong that companion actually was. The magical beast was far too strong to actually be something that Seika in his right mind and current physical state could ever tussle with, it was unfathomable to even consider that the companion literally had a physical presence so strong that it trumped everyone in this clearing except for his direct superior. As such, the fact that the young man, and apparently the young woman as well, had deemed it not only possible, but prudent that they fight and subdue the companion, was not only asinine as it was suicidal. Their arrogance at their perceived physical abilities eventually lead to the downfall of one as he attempted to clash with the beast only to have his sword literally shattered in his hands crushing them against his chest before it too was slashed open by the strike.

The boys body was then left to fall limply to the ground, pain likely piercing through his flesh as his body landed in a crumpled heap only to then be struck by Hitomi's thunderclap from the heavens. Fate truly deemed that this boy was to suffer on this day as not only had his hands been crushed, his chest slashed open, but his ears and head were then subjected to literal agony from the clap of heavens that struck him as Seika's superior had deemed it necessary force to stop the fighting. Of course this was then followed up by Seika himself immolating the boy on accident, literally roasting him where he lay like this was some sort of inner city rap battle. The boy's toasty crumpled frame was left there to essentially rest in agony, leaving the boy to contemplate his life's choices and why he had thought that his actions were a good idea.

Returning to Hitomi and the other red headed ruffian, Hitomi had immediately brought her blade down in the direction of her opponent, not even a full second after casting the first thunderclap as the young woman had decided that continuing the battle, or at least evading the flames to try and continue the battle was the right thing to do. This meant that Hitomi was given no choice but to actually try and put down the red headed girl personally as a blast of lightning leapt from her blade upon arcing through the air with such intensity. The lightning that jumped forth was of such quality and speed, but it was immediately followed by another as Hitomi's body became a flurry of actions as she quickly slashed again in a different direction, not even giving her own body chance to recover from the motion as she unleashed yet another strike of magical energy from her blade. This attack was then followed up with yet another strike, and another blast of magic that leapt from her blade, travelling quickly at speeds that most people could not even thing to defend or dodge against. This however didn't matter as Hitomi finally followed up all three slashes with another motion, swishing her sword forward, she would then lunge in behind the three attacks, likely expecting her opponent to try and guard against them since they moved with such ferocity as to give her an opponent to then pierce the young woman with her blade and likely end the girls attempts at revolting against her authority once and for all. These actions all happened so quickly that they would be done far before Seika had lit the area that she had once stood in up in flames, meaning that she would not be caught by the activation of his staffs latent pyrokinetic abilities.

Seika was mentally awed by the grace and power his superior showed, the young woman clearly had practiced her craft for far too many days and nights to be as fluent and graceful as she was in their activations and requirements. Of course, such actions likely weren't necessary in the first place, and were probably the result of some petty need and desire to finish off an opponent that she deemed hadn't surrendered yet, but who was Seika to judge such efficiency and logic. He himself was prone to random leaps in logic and as such would often do some rather unthinkable shit in all his days, why he could vaguely recall literally getting hit out of the air one time by an opponent for arrogantly thinking he had the ability to fight against someone who's combat ability far exceeded his own in a one on one situation which he should've waited for his team. He had experienced what it was like to be the laughing stock of his class and family in that situation and had vowed to never experience that moment again in his life for as long as he lived.

Of course none of this mattered as Panther Lily, Hitomi and Shichiro, supposedly, were all still here so he was confident in his ability to survive this ordeal and learn from it. For now he just simply had to focus on his opponent ahead of him. He still wondered why the man was so confident in his ability to get past him but Seika would never understand the masses and their leaps in logic, but he was certain that the man had something up his sleeve. Seika could only hope that he was prepared for it all as the world around him burned with the furor of his thoughts and the intensity in his heart. He was going to prove his worth in this situation one way or another.

A lot of events were happening in this battle that Shichiro wasn't aware that his companion Panther Lily was. Panther lily had taken note of the two Rune Knights he was already familiar with from previous quests they had done in their time together in this very city. It was reassuring to him they had appeared because even though he was quite powerful and was sure he could take on the two of these opponents himself, he didn't actually want the burden of dealing with them on his own. Instead, he'd observe the actions of the newcomers to this battle while keeping his guard up for whomever would want to come to harm him. Bearing witness to the events that was going on, the purple haired woman he had known as Hitomi Miyamoto had raised her sword into the air for one reason or the other. Currently it was raining and there was a storm brewing that seemed to have picked up in ferocity after the woman had raised their weapon into the air which caused him to wonder if she had the power to control storms with that sword or something. Immediately after she had raised her sword, three of their opponents were struck by a thunderous sound which seemed to happen almost instantaneously. 

It was a pretty great technique all things considered and he was glad the person wielding the sword was on his side instead of the opposing side. The ones affected were the robotic creature that had attempted to attack him earlier, and the two redheads he was fighting earlier. At the same time, the other mage that was accompanying the female was known as Seika who if he remembered correctly was a fire wielding magic. At the same time as Hitomi raising her blade into the air in order to cast her lightning technique, he had also lifted his arm and snapping his fingers, aiming it towards the two redhead's general direction in an attempt to launch some kind of magical fire ball in their general direction. It seems like one of the redheads had taken the fireball straight on in addition to the thunder technique the female had used. It was quite a sight to behold at how easily they were able to seemingly dispatch one of their opponents as they had taken all of the attacks thrown his way. Watching the man fall to the floor, it seems the other redhead had begun to run towards Panther Lily as he readied his blade once more in an attempt to try and counterattack when the time arises. 

At the same time as this was happening, Panther Lily had also witnessed something peculiar behind the charging woman. It seems there was another member of the opposition he hadn't really been too aware of as he had been preoccupied fighting the two redheads outside of the tower. At least, he assumed they were a part of the faction they were here to subdue in order to get the one known as 'Fallen Angel'. Maybe that was the one they had come for since he hadn't seen them until just recently. It seems like they were now doing something akin to the one who had jumped out of the window. In Panther Lily's eyes, it seems like this one had tried to activate some sort of ability of some kind and jumped out of the window as well. It seemed as if he tried to run down the side of the wall of the tower during the fifteen meter travel but instead was actually just free falling while attempting to run along the wall. At the same time this started, it seems like Seika had also caught wind of the new person's presence and prepared to cast another spell in order to prevent him from gaining entry into the tower unharmed. 

He would go a step further than that, holding his staff with both of his hands while positioning himself near the person that was attempting to move through the flames in the entrance as if they weren't there. Seika would attempt to stab him with the staff in front of him. At the same time, he'd release heat and light in the form of fire that would expand from his body up to four meters in radius. While he was dealing with that, Panther Lily decided to focus on the matter at hand of the person charging directly towards him despite having opposition near them that they should have been focusing on instead of himself. It seems she had taken minimal damage from the attack Hitomi had produced and focused her efforts on reaching him. As intended Panther Lily had swung his sword towards Jikan waist as he planned. Unfortunately for Panther Lily, he would miss since his opponent was going to be airborne by the time his swing would reach his waist. It seems they would also retaliate as well which would leave Panther Lily in a tight spot of his own, or would under normal circumstances. However it was easy for him to evade this kind of counter attack as he was still in his battle form.

Panther Lily had simply reverted to his base form as well as bending his knees in order to hasten his descent, returning to his smaller form which was about two feet tall or so. This would cause the female to soar over Panther Lily's small frame missing his chest and the entirety of his body as a whole. Immediately as the woman was in the process of soaring over his body, he'd let go of his musica sword, dropping it onto the ground and attempted to grapple the woman by jumping up, activating Aera once more and grabbing hold of her leg by her ankles with both of his hands that she wasn't currently using to attempt to kick him. Pulling her from out of the air, Panther Lily would use his superior strength in an attempt to swing her into the incoming spells that had been sent in their direction from the female magical swordswoman and use her as a bat hitting a ball that was coming towards him. Well he was reverting and became small, he had noticed a small combination of spells coming in the direction of himself and the redheaded woman he was fighting since she had chosen to ignore the existence of the two showing up.

Making sure to swing her as violently as he could, he'd attempt to make sure to keep a good grip so he could swing her into the oncoming spells in the intended contact points. If the female hadn't escaped somehow and took all three of the spells fired by his comrade, he'd slam her into the ground in front of him with such a ferocity that only a feline could exert about a meter away from him. He'd then attempt to retrieve his musica sword once more, knowing he'd have to wait a little while before he could transform into his battle form once more. Meanwhile, Shichiro was traversing up the tower with little issue as he was still carrying an unconscious man underneath his arm. It was kind of a pain in the ass but he reminded himself he didn't need any of his teammates from outside that was dealing with his companion on the off chance one of them slips by, attempts to rescue their teammate and try to escape with them. He didn't want to risk that happening although, if it was just one of them. He could easily deal with them in a fight. The only thing he was really worried about was if one had managed to break through Panther lily's line, Shichiro would engage in combat with them and then the one up in the tower would also run down and attempt to pinch him.

Well, he'd worry about that when the time comes, if it ever came. Something had caught his attention as he continued to travel up to the top of the tower. At around twelve meters up the tower, he'd turn his head and look down, noticing a bright light of fire emerge in the entrance of the tower. He wondered who was capable of doing that which made him worry for Panther Lily's safety if it turns out one of the two mages he had stayed behind had some powerful magic in order to combat Panther Lily with. Clenching his fist, he hesitated for a moment wondering if he should go back down there and assist his companion in that one versus two battle. He had already taken out one of them and so he could potentially afford to go down there and help out. Something told him, he didn't need to worry too much so he followed his gut on the first thought and continued to travel up the stairs. Before he turned away however, somebody had attempted to traverse through the flames as he was going to continue to make his way up. Squinting, Shichiro took care to see who it was but he couldn't make out who it was since they were currently on fire. 

He assumed it was automatically a foe since he had come here alone with no backup. It couldn't have been Panther Lily either because the figure was too large to be Panther Lily in his base form and too small to be him in his battle form. Shichiro didn't know whether to attack immediately or to wait. It would be very uncanny to find out if they had turned on each other and began fighting amongst themselves. Should the fiery figure continue to make his advance towards Shichiro in order to strike him, Shichiro wouldn't react to the attack itself at all as he was wearing his sacrificial shield on his back and his opponent's attack would be blocked. Other than that, he figured he'd rather play it safe than leave it to chance and so he'd perform the 'come hither' gesture at the flaming figure in order to put up his full body darkness barrier. Having some protection now made him feel a lot safer than he was before and now he could continue to go up the stairs and make it to the top floor. Reaching the top of the tower, he looked around to see if there was anybody nearby that he could see. 

Unfortunately for him, the figures he saw in here were no longer present and there was nothing for him to do. Dropping the body of the unconscious man, Shichiro had walked over towards the window of the tower to look outside of it to see how the battle with his familiar was going. Looking out, he could see his familiar engaging with one of the redheads down below. From what he could see, it seems like he was handling himself quite nicely. Peering directly below him, he could see some familiar faces that had appeared on the scene which made him chuckle. He wasn't sure how Hitomi and Seika found their way here but he shouldn't be too surprised as they were around doing missions with him for a time. It was pretty amazing they were on the scene. Other than that, there was nobody up here of note. He could have sworn he had seen another body up here but there wasn't anything up here. Well, since there was nothing here, he decided it was best for him to just leave the unconscious body up here and just go back down and join the battle. Leaving the unconscious man here, he decided he would just go back down the tower in order to meet with his squad members and finish up the rest of the rabble.

Going back down the stairs, he'd just keep his eye out for any opposition he might face, maintaining his defensive barrier as he made his descent down towards the front entrance of the tower. At least he knew where the fire came from and that it wasn't any opposition. He also knew that the person that was on fire would be in opposition so that he could strike that person freely.

Knuckles Shi

The sound of battle was heard all about him, the red-haired man felt a bit of pain throughout his body, it was hot extremely hot. He wondered if the time had come to pay up his end of the bargain now? Perhaps it was all the time he had, those ten years to achieve his status of a legendary warrior. Regret filled his heart, he was wrong all along. Father, Mother, and all the others at home were right, he lacked what it took to become a Man of Legend.  Knuckles cursed himself, he had not even begun to touch the surface of what he knew he had within, all that rage and anger was power, untapped power yet here he was about to open his eyes in hell. he could feel flames crawling around him.  Oh well, he thought. At least he fought to his death, and what a way to go huh? Leaping from a window to fight a Cat with wings and a sword of all things. Not to mention one that could change the size and become even taller than he had been when alive.  What did those guys even call themselves?  The Ruinen Knights? No, no that was not it. The Knights of Ruin, no that did not sound right either. Perhaps he had taken too hard a hit to his head too hard this time. Though what did that matter now if he had died?   He thought back to the woman with the overly big breast who had shouted at him before she lifted her sword, which was the start to how he ended up dead.  The Bitch interrupted his fight with the Cat, a match between swordsmen of all things. You would think she knew the code of the sword and had some kind of Honor as she too held a blade. Though Knuckles feared she only held that sword for the powers within it and not for the lifestyle.  Fucking magic, the bane of his life.

It was then he recalled their names, The Rune Knights, or Perhaps they spelled it Ruin, either or Knuckles did not care.  They had interfered with his meeting and fight with Miyamoto for the badest in the Guild they were forming, and then again with the battle with the cat.  He would give almost anything to go back there and finish them off but at last, he had met his fate, and was now in Hell right? Right!?

"Oh my dear boy, look how pitiful you are, you think yourself dead? You are simply sleeping, my child. Here, take my power and use it. Stop holding back, I wish for your dream to come true so that I may take the Soul of a worthy human, though I guess you are more than that now.  Rise Knuckles, feel my power swell within you, and take revenge if you can. "

The Daemon's eyes opened as he pushed himself up off the ground, scorch marks covering his battered body as all his gear besides his earrings and Ring on his finger all but crumbled off of him as he rose. The white shirt he had worn had even been burned in several spots as well as his pants.
Upon making it to his feet he stumbled as his shoulders were rolled forward, his arms hanging loose at his sides. His crimson locks falling in front of his face where it was parted and his eyes looking down.  He shuffled a single step looking as if he were about to fall yet again, though as black energy began to swell within him then poured out, it was Obscura. The power he had made a deal with a demon for, the power that he wanted all those years ago to prove that he would make it as a swordsman and become a man of legend. And what was happening now, if not the start of a Legends path? Rising up from Defeat with the intent of winning the battle no matter the cost.

His eyes began to glow red, black markings appeared on his body as he lifted his head to the Two Ruin Knights and their pet Pussy Cat. He guessed it was the Classroom Pet, but it did not matter to him as he was in the mode to kill, no longer interested in the contest of a worthwhile fight. In this state Knuckles only craved a single thing, Destruction.   A-Pillar of Fire stood blocked the path from him and the cat, which also meant the two Knights.

While they were busy dealing with Jikan, Knuckles walked over towards them, unable to run due to the thunderous strike to his chest he had received early from the female Rune Knight.   It seemed in his time on the ground Jikan
had run past him and engaged the Cat,  Knuckles stood up ready to throw down but we met with the first spell Hitomi had cast, the 5-meter wide attack met his back.  

Knuckles had inadvertently taken one of the attacks heading towards Jikan, the attack being too much for the unarmored warrior to handle as he yet again fell down to the ground, this time it was clear he would not be able to keep fighting.

Defeat would happen, no one grew stronger by simply just winning each time they crossed paths with outs, but to be so undone in such a vast amount was nothing short of showing Knuckles Shi why he indeed had taken to Demon's offer for power in the first place, that night when he fled from his family's manner. The entire night flashed through his mind over and over as his body would slowly start to fall to the ground. He could hear the words of the demon within the walls of his mind. He had stepped into the door and unleashed part of the power of the demon before he had taken the attack to the back. It was just a taste. "If you would have just given yourself to me from the start then all this could have been avoided Knuckles. But you let that foolish pride of yours ruin it for you. The more you try to fight me after you already have accepted our deal the further your dream becomes. You will not become the legend you seek to be if you do not use the full power I have to offer you. If you were going to neglect the power which I have to offer why did you take the deal in the first place? Do you think you are too good to need my help? Did you only accept my gifts because you thought yourself a demon because you stabbed your father? I did not off you this power because you stabbed your father, but I saw a man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, but perhaps I was wrong. Shall I break our agreement? " The Demon Beezelebub had much to say, but it seemed all said instantly. While knocked out the Daemon looked further into his moments up to this point of defeat, it had been about 10 years since he had left home in order to become a known legend and warrior but what had he become? A no-name traveler doing jobs for higher because they paid well? It was time to step things up and grow into what he saw himself, accept his fate, and damn all those who would judge him. He would work to make this demon's powers his own.

Jikan

Staff decision:

It was blasted situation Jikan found herself in. Successfully dodging the cat's sword attack and moving in range to attack the fighter. Only for him to use his tricky magic to decrease in size. And then grab onto her. The cat, was far stronger then she thought he would be for his size, but he was and that was going to be troublesome. She had to get him off of her. Through gritted teeth she would finally speak, "Get, off". Her mana flared, sparking her wind magic to life. Starting from Jikan's feet a whirl of wind is created and expanded until it reaches her chest. Throwing out an arm, her left right arm, the wind suddenly extends outward in a sudden rush. She would force the spell on the only target she could reach right now, the one getting in her way; Panther Lilly. Given how close the cat was, Jikan was sure the spell would hit. She would focus the spell to propel the cat warrior, sending him 5 meters away from her aiming in the path that was being traveled by Hitomi's numerous spells. A white magic seal 0.25-Meters in diameter, seen below Jikan's feet when she is casting this spell. She hoped this would help her turn the tide of the battle, using the cat as a meet shield. But she knew better to hope for the cat to stay in place with his flying and annoying mobility trickery.

If blood lust could be felt by Jikan, she would taste it in the air oozing from the teal haired beauty before her. If things were in a different, more polite situation, she would have enjoyed the opportunity of talking to the curvaceousness warrior in her flattering skin tight clothing. If they talked perhaps they would be sparks, she could feel it. ...wait nah, that was the shocking from the lighting spell from above that Jikan took.

Jikan eyes were still on Hitomi when the lightening attack from earlier struck her. Thankfully the blow did nothing to hinder or obscure her sight or reaction time. Given that and the recent damage she took that revealed the type of magic the sword wield, Jikan was reading herself to respond defensively. As Hitomi stood place,at the least at the moment, and handled her weapon with ease and deliberation in it's attack. At the same time that Hitonmi started the motion of the first swing of her sword in Jikan's direction, the female red haired warrior would act with swiftness pushing one of her heels down against the ground, as she did so, a .5 meter white  magical circle appeared under her, the magic activating in an instant to push Jikan up into the air with such intensity that was only matched by Jikan's desire to avoid whatever magic the angry lightening sparker was sending her way. The wind moved with a controlled ferocity, sending Jikan up at a speed that would hopeful allow her to dodge the first and follow up spells sent her way. She had to be prepared to get out of the way when Panther Lilly would attempt to dodge her tactic.

And then something unexpected happened, well something more unexpected then what was happening so far. The seemingly downed Knux got up, somewhat. The man fighting to get on his feet, barely. He looked like a beaten man that was only being lifted by his will or some crazed obession. He should have stayed down, he was really in no condition to fight, but she did respect that he got up, it was something not many could do in this situation even if they wanted to. But he could.

And then something flowed out of him. Something small for now that Jikan could not really not due to the chaos going on around her. End then Hitomi's first spell appeared to hit him right on his back! The last attack being far too much for the bruised warrior to take. Inadvertently taking the first spell while leaving the other two spells to either be dodged by Jikan or blocked and absorbed by Panther Lily's body. Though Jikan doubted that would happen...

Things were getting serious here, first moving from fighting the large man cat alongside Knux to Knux being down on the ground and Jikan being charged by a new opponent. She still had to think about the cat as well, but at least it seemed that the other fellow with the fire staff was going off to do something else. He would be a problem too though, eventually. She was getting out numbered here...she needed a way to see all of them. It would just be some work…

As Jikan reached higher elevation she watched as the slashes from Kusanagi's blade came toward Jikan's former position. The magic coming in a wide 5 meter arc that was thin, only 1 cm thick. The size of the spell being only a true issue if Jikan moved to the sides of back, but since she moved above, there should be no way that the attack could reach her. In no time after the release of Hitomi's first spell did the lady unleash more spells! She is really going for the overkill isn't she?? The soft faced but fierce attitude Rune Knight sent out another slash from her sword, coming out from the opposite horizontal direction. This one different from the previous attack, co an arc that was much smaller than the previous one. The attack only being the length of her blade in length, about 1.5 meters in the air. Given the effect of Jikan's spell that pushed her into the air, she would be out of the way of the attack given that it was sent out when Jikan was on the ground. This would be the same the piercing strike that Hitomi also sent towards Jikan.  The attack coming in what essentially was a beam, 3 meters tall in size and 3 meters in width.

It was safe to say Jikan would successfully avoid all three of these strikes, but not the words of the woman. Somehow over the rain, thunder, and lighting that was occurring, Jikan was able to hear her words. And they held nothing but a condensing attitude of someone full of sinful pride and perhaps arrogance. The words that came from the bad mouthed woman would make Jikan normally just do a eye roll and snarky comment back. Alas, she was in the middle of combat and had to focus, for she knew that each strike that was sent out had some nasty power behind it.

She had no idea why the lady lunged forward. Jumping forward in the air instead of running, Hitomi would be mobile until she would have reached Jikan's location, unable to adjust herself unless she had a spell to aid her.

But that was fine with her, Jikan could not immediately respond to Hitomi with words, but she could most definitely respond with action. For as soon as Jikan was in the air she was preparing her own spells. She would use her left hand, pointing outward to the a meter in front of her previous location, using her index finger on her left hand. Activating her spell, a brown 4 meter magic seal formed at that designated spot and a 4 meter circle under the user in the color of white and brown to signal the magic's activation. Flicking her index finger, a composite of rocks came onto the area. The stones in their various sizes would be dense and hold their own magical force within them. But in a different way than a pure attack. These stones would impact their target, Hitomi, as soon as she or any other foe enter the 4 meter circle, reducing their body's endurance by A rank. And given that Hitomi was already air born in her lunge, unless she was planning to use a spell to adjust her position, she would be bound to fall into the magic circle. And if not, Jikan would just move the magic circle to follow and trap her, as long as it was at most 15 meters away from her.

But Jikan was not done, for at the same time that she was casting a couple more spells, Jikan would  take her other hand and close her fist on her right hand, another magic circle one that was a 1 meter white magic circle, would appeared under Jikan. A white and brown light flashes around her fist would appear before Jikan would throw her fist out at the location that Hitomi was heading towards. The attack would come out as a fierce wind blast, twirling out in a 1 meter wide tornado that would travel until it hit something, if not, it would travel until it reached 15 meters of travel before dispersing. The attack would deal B rank damage if it was able to land. She would aim the spell for Hitomi's stomach. If hit the fierce wind would cut and slash and hopefully leave a wound. If not, she would be happy to see some skin revealed from the sassy buxom opponent before her.

As her arms were extend outward, Jikan would unleash another spell at the same time of releasing the other spells. Concentrating her mana, a current of magical wind would surround her body before flowing outward to the distance of 5 meters from all sides. A soft vibration stayed around her that was like strings attached to the fabrics of air all around her. They would give her body sensations, hints at the things going on and moving around her that would hopefully give her more awareness and reaction time to whatever any of her opponents would attempt to do to her. This happened, yet another magical circle was formed, a small .25 meter circle was formed in the middle of her core. This magic seal is white and brown.

She would not speak, only look at the lady. A combination of a glare, annoyance, and a look of uninterested disappointment. She would let out a sigh though.

Another post, another dump of information for the gods above to read and realize that this whole cluster of fuck was beyond rhyme or reason. The words of the author were now those to explain this situation in as much possible detail and fluff as possible to receive intangible rewards that the author may or may not use to further expedite the process in which he would then use those rewards to terrorize others on this metaphysical plane. In other more eloquent words, the author was now bullshitting to receive gains for a character so that he could use those gains to beat the shit out of someone else's character. Moving on.

Seika grinned madly as he stabbed the grown man into the wall, it seemed the man had realized the futility of his actions and had finally given in to fact that his life was forfeit. His body slammed into the pike at the end of Seika's staff like a sack of potato's getting speared on a fork. His body jerking to a stop once gravity realized that it couldn't drag him further down the metallic shaft of the weapon. Seika grunted at the weight before shifting it forwards and slamming the grown man into the wall, the effort seamless as he speared the man all the way through trapping him in the broiling inferno that was his magic. He would drop the pillar as it would no longer be necessary since the flames from his staff were sufficient enough to actually burn the man into unconsciousness. Unfortunately for Seika he couldn't actually kill the man. But once the man had roasted enough to be sent into that sweet nothingness, Seika would allow him to fall before finally handcuffing him and putting him to the side for further processing after this was all over.

While he did this however, he had been ignoring for the most part, Hitomi's whole spat on the other side of the field, unknowing that her intended target had in fact not taken a hit, nor that the man who had been with them had jumped up from unconsciousness to aid in making sure that the intended target had not taken a hit. All of this was missed by Seika, but as he turned from his own quarry to ponder on the details what he did see was Hitomi still dashing in as well as her intended target now airborne from obviously dodging something. Taking in the details quickly, Seika would not waste much time as he used the only move that he could use from this distance and quickly snapped his fingers out in the direction of the airborne but now falling Jikan, aiming it just right so that it would go over Hitomi's head but would be in the path of the now falling Jikan. He was hoping that the woman had no other maneuvers to use to avoid getting immolated, but whether she did or didn't did not matter to Seika, merely that this entire debacle would now be over. With two confirmed conspirators now down for the count, Seika was only hoping that this was the last one that they needed to put away to put this entire situation to bed.

Jikan

This combat was truly chaotic, jumbled, exciting even. Adrenaline and blood rushed through Jikan's veins as she moved about and had activated her several spells in respond to the grapple and throw attempt by Panther Lily and the various monstrous spells coming her way from Hitomi. Knux was down and most likely down, this time for good for the remainder of this little guild founding meeting that had that was interrupted.

She watched her first spell go to work, doing her best to stay away and be prepared to stay aware of her surrounds as she did. Her spell, almighty push, created a whirl of wind around her body, knocking the grip of Panther Lily on her legs off. The controlled force and direction of the spell throwing the cat warrior towards their Rune Knight comrade Hitomi. And more specifically, the numerous spells that was going toward the spot Jikan was orignally that did not get block by Knux's body.

The wind push flew the cat back, five meters away from Jikan towards Hitomi. The cat did not move. Whether it was because they had no time to react due to being closer to Hitomi's spells path, or not being able to move at all. Regardless, the cat was in place for a moment of pain when Hitomi's spell hit them. The first spell was her Lightning Death Sentence Cut, the devious attack moved.. The blast hit was a thunderous sound, arc before splitting off on impact and cutting the feline at several locations. Hitting Panther Lily's the left leg, right leg, left arm, and right arm. Dealing C-rank damage to each of these limbs. The attack would indeed show some wear and tear on the cat's body. Chipping away at the cat's flesh. Given the only equipment they had was their sword, the attack stroke against pure flesh. Only because of the cat's endurance and muscular body was he not damage greatly, but the damage to each of the limbs of their legs and body would add up if it continued. However, unknown to Jikan Hitomi's sword was not doing with its impact. The sword had an ability that was a part of it, thunderclap. When the weapon clashed with a weapon, or with a person, it produced a loud sound like thunder. This sound ws powerful enough to deafen whoever was unlucky to be hit for a little bit. And the person hit was Panther Lilly and thus they would suffer the consequence.

The other spell would then impact the cat, being milliseconds after the first given Hitomi's swiftness in throwing her attacks out. A fierce beam. Three meters wide and three meters tall. The spell had a massive size, being so large that even if the cat transformed into its two meter tall battle mode, the spell would still cover it's body. Given the cat was in its small base form, they would have an even harder time to dodge if they tried. But again, they didn't maybe because they couldn't at the moment? Either way, the spell that was aiming for Jikan's torso now hit Panther Lily, striking the cat squarly in its torso, with another thunderous boom. The attack being strikingly scary, being the most powerful of all the attacks Hitomi had thrown so far. This attack wouldn't split on hit but deal the one spot with a sick S rank damage. Only then through all of this did the cat traveling end, ending up five meters away from Jikan due to the effect of the knockback spell on almighty push. Getting in Hitomi's way as she dashed toward's Jikan trying to do melee combat.

However, Jikan had other spells at play. Jikan's Brittle Bones spell was in motion during Hitomi's motion, creating a 4 meter magic circle that she ran right into while trying to get into. But at the same time that Jikan had did this spell, she had casted her Gale Shrapnel spell, sending a meter wide tornado of wind towards her. Maybe it was the warrior's hot bloodiness, but she lost herself in her actions, failing to get out of way of Jikan's offensive spell nor her defensive spell. The composite of rocks hitting her body and lowering her body's resistance level of S rank endurance to a A rank endurance. The wind attack would hit her arm carrying her sword, it wouldn't make her drop her sword, but she would definitely feel the B rank damage to it.

But it seemed that all eyes where on Jikan now. The other Rune Knighy stabbing Miyamoto and putting him out of the fight completely it seemed. So much for being the second strongest in the room. The now non preoccupied fighter turned their sights on Jikan. Attempting to aid their comrades now that it was fully three on one. The brown skinned warrior used their hand, snapping his fingers to aim a fire 1 meter wide gout of flames over Hitomi's head towards her! Being airborne this was a dicey situation, if it as not for the fact that Jikan still had her mad dash sustained. Kicking one leg up by swinging it back, Jikan dashed in the middle of the air, sending her back towards the ground while making sure she was not in the path of Hitomi's aimed stab to the torso, she grabbed the sword Panther Lily was using before 'dropping' it on the ground in an attempt to throw Jikan about using both of his legs. Given this and Jikan got to the ground and out of harms way of the spell. In a quick motion she grabbed for the sword as she was coming to the ground, and whipped it around in a horizontal slash going from left to right, aiming to hit Hitomi was the massive sword at the same arm that held her sword once again. But she wouldn't stop there, she would continue the slash fully, intending to damage the lady's torso as well. Before going back and striking the woman the same way this time going right to left with a horizontal slash. If successfully, the blow would hinder her in a few places. Her right arm, now unable to hold her weapon would drop it to the ground, and with her Torso bruised so much as it was, as well as her stamina, she would not be able to run or lunge anymore in this fight.

Jikan wouldn't have to work so hard now to look at all three of them, using her peripheral vision as she had been doing the whole fight. Now that all three were in front of her, she could see all of them. And none of her associates up to fight. Fuck...

Lungs beat heavy in Seika's chest as the force of exertion was finally getting to him as he realized that he had been fighting almost nonstop since he arrived on the scene. The weight of a fully grown man hanging off the tip of his staff felt more exhausting than it normally should, but that was the nature of combat. Adrenaline pumping through his veins made the whole act and situation feel far more unreal even as he experienced it personally. The sound and feeling of the rain impacting his body as he fought through the slog to perform crisp and clean actions at speeds that normal civilians would balk at. The lay man actually couldn't appreciate the amount of time and effort it took for the average mage to reach the level of peak physical conditioning it took to actually battle like they did. They were effectively super human gods living amongst men for the feats of grandeur and prowess they were able to display.

Taking this into account then, it only made it that much more crazy when Seika deemed that this situation was not to continue for that much longer. His own opponent having essentially been burned into unconsciousness. His grip on his staff was tight as he observed Hitomi being assaulted by her opponent, the strikes that were now landing against her as his muscles flexed and his blood boiled. This... cretin had harmed someone important to him. This person had harmed someone who was beloved by others and who had gained the attention of a Child of Sol.

Heat. The heat around him couldn't be fathomed as the flare at the end of the Fires of Prometheus practically exploded with ferocity as every muscle in his body tensed with preparation for what he was going to do. None of these actions or reactions took any time at all, and if Jikan had been looking at him, she would've noticed the giant flare appear just after the gout of flames had flown overhead, sadly for her Hitomi was between the both of them and ignoring Hitomi for him would've been foolish for most people.

The ground cracked. The rain suddenly went quiet, and the air around everyone there suddenly grew very, very warm as Seika's fury and energy spiked to dangerous levels. The man's irises glowed and reflected the light that raged around him as his body shot forward suddenly. Due to him being a rather large and lumbering fellow his travel distance wasn't nearly far enough to put him into striking distance of the woman who was harming someone precious to him. However it did bring her to within Sol's embrace as the temperature around her would skyrocket suddenly if she didn't move away from Hitomi. He would land just behind Hitomi's frame enveloping her within his aura of flames and fury unknowingly but would also be immolating her opponent as the woman had committed herself to attempting to strike Hitomi with a weapon that was not hers.

The lumbering giant stood there furiously, his presence unmistakable as he still held his staff like a pike. The woman's insolence would no longer be tolerated by the man as his body suddenly shifted forward, his left arm would grab Hitomi by the hip before pulling her back against his frame and out of the way of the incoming sword strike as the other hand that held his staff by the section of the handle that was nearest to the torch end would strike out around Hitomi's right side to attempt to stab Jikan in the stomach in a way that she wasn't looking for. Both actions happened simultaneously as to prevent his opponent from having the time necessary to interrupt him but he also understood that sometimes people could pull off some miraculous feats of action at the most opportune times.

His hope was to force Hitomi's opponent back entirely through his maneuver, but heavily injuring   his opponent was also a viable outcome in his mind. He understood that time was in fact on their side. With Panther Lily still in the fight, albeit extremely hurt, and Shichiro somewhere in the area more than likely, this last opponent was without a doubt fucked. But if he could finish up the job himself without Shichiro's input that would be swell. In fact he was certain that it would be more than enough for the higher ups to promote him if he were honest.

And so with grim determination, he pressed on, his staff stabbing towards his opponent and the flames of wrath burning all around him. It was the midnight hour, and the bell had finally rung.

Panther Lily had made an attempt to grab a hold of his opponent's leg when he had reverted from his battle mode in order to evade a kick from one of the red haired opponents. When Panther Lily had grabbed a hold of his opponent's leg, it felt like he was in some sort of a daze or something along the lines as a feeling of lightheadedness enveloped his sense of self. He had indeed successfully grabbed his opponent's leg but for some strange reason couldn't use the opportunity to attack. His opponent, being quick on their feet, or in the air in this instance, began to use a spell Panther Lily was unfamiliar with, knocking him into the trajectory of the two spells. Panther Lily felt a pain like he'd never felt before as both of the spells collided with his body. A beam of lightning ranging in three meters radius had engulfed the small frame of Panther Lily as he was knocked towards the incoming spell. Not only was he subjected to the lightning beam spell, he had also taken another spell that had split into multiple smaller versions of itself, attacking each individual limb of Panther Lily. With the damage of the second spell spread out throughout his body, it didn't feel as if he took much much damage from it even though he did.

What really smarts was the beam he had taken prior to the multiple slashes from the second spell. As he was sent flying, Panther Lily had slid over towards the tower his partner had been inside of. He was now only four meters away from the entrance of it as  he struggled to get back up. His torso was in an unbelievable amount of pain as he pushed himself up from off of the ground. Feeling as if he was constantly out of breath. Try as he might, he wasn't in any shape to fight anymore and now couldn't afford to make any sudden movements as he would have liked too. Clutching his chest, he could already tell he was in no shape to run or lunge as he pleased until he could get some medical treatment. On top of that, he seems to have let go of his trusty musica sword at some point. Well regardless of his thoughts on the matter, he wasn't alone in this battle anymore and decided his best option was to retreat and let the other two Rune Knights handle it. Panther Lily simply made his way towards the tower entrance in order to withdraw from the battle and see if he could locate his human companion. 

At the same time, Shichiro was heading down the tower stairs in order to rejoin the fight. It took him a little longer than normal for whatever reason but he made it down to the bottom nonetheless. Upon reaching the entrance, he had confirmed he was indeed being assisted by two other rune knights he had taken on requests not too long ago. Hitomi and Seika were busy attempting to engage what seems like the final foe of the enemy group he was taking on. He didn't ask for them to come along but he was glad they had shown up anyway. Earlier there was a source of fire coming from the entrance which he had confirmed to have been from Seika since he knew he was a fire mage. Near the entrance was the unconscious body of a man he hadn't seen in the fight before until just now. He figured this was the guy he had been seeing in the tower that he climbed all the way up for in order to defeat. He was unsure how he got down here but he was glad that he was out of the way for the time being. He didn't get to see how he fought however and wanted to know what kind of abilities he had but alas, he guessed he'd never figure it out now. 

Still, judging from his injury however, it would seem he had taken quite a blow to the chest which was followed up by some sort of flame attack which was pretty much overkill. He was starting to second guess if the man was even still breathing or not and decided before he did anything involving moving the body, he'd check to see if there was a pulse. After all, if this man was the one he was looking for and had the massive bounty on him, he'd be no good to him dead. Placing two fingers on the man's neck, Shichiro had checked to see if he had a pulse which to his relief, he did. He'd then place his hand onto his forehead to check and see if they might have suffered some kind of illness. You'd have to be pretty crazy to jump out of a fifteen meter tower and think you'd escape unharmed. Although his check yielded nothing in terms of injuries, he did gain something greater. He had learned this man was in fact in possession of an elder dragon's slayer magic, a light one at that.  The only thing he knew about this beforehand was that he had a light attribute to magic and that's all he was given when he came to arrest his man.

Smirking to himself, Shichiro had gained something far greater than money in this little skirmish. A way to strengthen his own magic and be even more powerful than before. He was so pleased with this fact, that he didn't even care for the great bounty on this man's head anymore. He figured since Seika was the one that took him out, he could decide how he split the reward between him and his friend. He was only interested in the money at first but he figured he'd still be able to net some kind of monetary gain from the rest of the enemy troupe. Speaking of the enemy he had wondered how the battle was fairing and decided to look around to see what else had taken place. Looking in a particular direction, he saw a red headed male laying on the floor a few meters away as well. It was the redhead noble that had called out to him when he first arrived and introduced himself. Well, he couldn't say this result was a surprise to him as the loudest ones tend to be the ones to fall first. He decided to walk over there to check the man's pulse as well to see if he was still breathing until something else had caught his attention.

It was his companion Panther Lily that had been walking towards his location, clutching his chest. This made him immediately drop what he was doing and decided to meet his companion halfway instead. Travelling three meters away from the tower entrance, he met up with Panther Lily and kneeled down near him to check and see if he had any lasting injuries. To his relief, he didn't see any to the best of his ability as he wasn't much of a medical practitioner. Still it was evident that Panther Lily wouldn't be fighting anymore in this battle unless he had too. With that, Panther Lily had crawled onto the shoulder of Shichiro and called it a day. Shichiro had been curious about something; however, he wondered what happened to Panther Lily's sword. Panther Lily had responded that he had lost when he was caught up in a torrent of spells and didn't know the whereabouts or what to do about it. Shichiro had pondered on the situation for a little while but decided it would all be fine for the time being. Now that he confirmed that his companion was safe, he walked back towards the motionless red-headed male in order to check his condition as well. Similar to the first enemy's condition, he wasn't dead but just unconscious.

It seems he's taken a beating though Shichiro couldn't discern from who it came from just from looking at the body, he was just going to make sure the person was at least alive. Walking over towards the red head's person, Shichiro made it to his destination, kneeling down in order to check his condition to the best of his ability. Like the other guy on the ground before him, he was simply just knocked unconscious. He didn't get it as bad as the light dragon slayer over there but it was still enough to put him out of commission for a bit. Well all that was left now was to watch the rest of the battle unfold. He wouldn't intervene as he didn't really like fighting directly alongside his teammates as that always seems to end up with some kind of accident or two. Instead, he'd simply just observe the battle from where he was currently situated but he'd perform a single action. With a loud rallying shout, Shichiro would bolster the physical attributes of all he considered his teammates, which was the Rune Knights and his companion. On top of that, he'd extend his Battle Cast Cuirass Aura towards both Hitomi and Seika now that he was aware of their presence and vice versa ,bolstering all of their attributes even further.

Jikan

As Jikan swung out her first sword strike using Panther Lily's sword, she noted yet another troublesome action occurring like what was trespassing for the entirety of the fight again and again and again. A rune knight coming to the aid of their comrade and being a hindrance to the outnumbered fighter that made up the opposition. Whoever this large man was, Jikan now got a closer look at him as the man seemed to be becoming enraged. He was steaming, burning up a fire. Wait, no, that was just his staff again, unleashing a circle wave of fire around him. Whatever he was aiming to do, Jikan knew it was to hurt her and protect Hitomi. And Jikan could not have him getting into her hair and making her deal with him. Yet. Indeed, Jikan noticed the giant flare appear just after the gout of flames had flown overhead. And she had no intention of letting it touch her.

Once again a whirl of wind would gust around Jikan and as she continued her slash on Hitomi's body, she unleashed it. Throwing the other hand not holding the sword out, Jikan unleashed her almighty push spell once again. However, it would not be aimed at Hitomi, instead it would be aimed to go past her, hitting Seika before he could lay a hand on his commander and pull her back or be in range to hit Jikan. It would knock him back 5 meters and be unable to put Jikan in the position to decide if she would need to continue with her attack with further adjustments. With this, her first swing was completely uninhibited, moving through her target,  Hitomi, before coming back for a second strike to finish the female warrior. These actions would be swift and precious, with the aim in not letting the enemies around her be even more of a combined obstacle. Hitomi would fall to the ground after taking Jikan's blows. Unconscious and out of the fight.

In the unexpected chance that Seika made it through Jikan's attempt to stop him from reaching them. She would make adjustments. Giving the short distance between them that was a little more than what it was between Jikan and Hitomi, if Seika came in the way and successfully pulled Hitomi away, Jikan would lunged forward to cover the rest of the distance needed, sticking the sword out in a straight stab with the full length of her arm and the blade to reach her targets. She would twist her body sideways while doing this, in an attempt to avoid the attack aimed at the right side of her stomach. It was a good thing she had her spell that gave her a five meter awareness activated, it aided in her responding in short time attacks. However, if she couldn't evade this blow it would be well. For Jikan would run the blade still through Seika's stomach if he was  to hit her's, and then continue with the length of the blade to strike out at Hitomi behind him. Then stab again and finish her off.  However, this was all hypothetical. And the odds would have to tell which would happen in reality.

In the case her first actions succeeded and Seika was unable to reach Hitomi in time, the red headed warrior would not be done yet. She would lunge after the hefty man while he was still in flight, stab out at him aimed at his torso with the borrowed weapon with the goal to put him down for good in this fight. It would be hard for the man to adjust mid flight from the force of the wind spell that sent him back, but if he did Jikan would use her mad dash spell to follow where he might go if he had a mobility adjusting spell.

Jikan noticed the arrival of the biggest concern here. The pack leader. In the middle of all of this. ...she was really the only one left standing on her side…

She would continue sustaining all of her active spells as she fought on against the odds.

The heat surrounding Seika rose with ferocity as he closed upon his squad mate. He was of a single minded focus now, only considering the dangers as they came and not as they appeared. Of course he saw the woman notice him. He could see the look of recognition enter her eyes as she tried desperately to stop him. It always ended up this way when it came to those Seika had decided to deal with directly. They always worked their hardest when his presence came barreling down upon them. It was like animal instinct, they always knew what his presence meant, what the cold feeling of death could feel like when one as prominent as he had decided to grace them with his essence. Seika always knew that he was an imposing person. Even as a boy he had been much larger, much stronger, much faster, much everything else. He had always been the one to lead the charge, to fight the hardest, to win. Every thing that he did, everything that he had deemed worthy enough to place his whole person, all of his effort into, would forever be done with or without the consent of those he had deemed unworthy. And this woman standing before him was no different. No matter how much she tried, no matter how much she struggled, providence was coming for her, whether she liked it or not.

And so when the woman had decided to fling her hand out at him as he closed the precious necessary meters to close in on the fight between her and Hitomi, and she had sent that burst of wind to blow him back. Seika was not angry. Seika did not hulk out further because there was no need. The woman had felt it. She had felt his presence whether she liked it or not, and because she felt it, and had decided that it wasn't enough to stop her, she was going to feel it again. But this time there would be no coming back from those gates emblazoned in flames. Sol only granted amnesty one time to those who slighted it. And as an Avatar of Sol, Seika had taken on a similar disposition. And so even as he was pushed back by the gale of winds back to a maximum of five feet from Jikan and Hitomi, he worried not. He had already touched her with his essence, and thus he had already left a scar of his truth on her person. She had not escaped unbranded, oh no. She had been marked just like all of those before her, and like all of those after her. Seika was an inevitability. The man was more myth and legend than an actual man. His prominence made him stand taller, seem far larger than he actually was. It was as if his very essence illuminated everything before him as he bore down upon the woman.

The gust could only push him back so far, his feet digging in the soggy soil beneath him as the ground quickly hardened and then cracked before turning back into mud as rain droplets fell into the cracks. This process repeated constantly before Seika finally stopped sliding backwards from where he had been pushed from. Unfortunately for his original intention, he had not been able to move Hitomi back in time, but that was okay. The woman was a trooper for all intents and purposes, and the gust of wind would only stall Seika for a bit longer. Once the gust had died down he simply returned back to his previous action, the ground drying up and cracking before his body moved forward suddenly, once again putting him behind Hitomi again with one quick motion. He was uncertain, but it looked as if the woman would have at least gotten off the second strike, but that was fine. Hitomi wouldn't be going down alone as the man's presence once again bore down upon Jikan as he would catch Hitomi's frame and prevent her from dropping, it seemed the woman would have the intention of actually trying to stab through them with the sword that she held in her hands, but unfortunately for her Seika was a bit of a bastard when it came to dealing with problems.

It was unfortunate for her that her little distraction didn't carry with it more power and thus more of a buffer of time when it came to giving her time to prepare for things. In the time it had taken her to knock him back, she had inadvertently delayed her swing if only by a moment so that she could focus on properly knocking him back. This meant that her intended frame of time for all of her actions were actually off as she had to properly cast the spell and aim it so that it wouldn't just knock Hitomi into him. This also meant that he was able to at least get in range for his fiery aura to ignite her body once since she hadn't moved back to avoid his approach. Since she had already been ignited once, all it would take is another touch of his holy presence for her to drop then. Most people weren't built to handle exposure to his holy flames, he didn't quite understand it himself, but every person who had been touched by their warmth had seemed to pass within a few moments, and unfortunately for Seika this also meant Hitomi. He didn't know it now, but he would know it in the future but that was for after the fight. For now he stared down the woman who stood against his magnificence with all of his anger and glory with his burning beautiful teammate in his hands, his left hand already raising to point at the woman and prepare to immolate her if she didn't give up the gander. He saw her already prepared to stab him through, but he wasn't afraid. He had already been graced with Sol's power and essence. No mortal that walked this plan could ever hope to hurt him while he was under Sol's influence.

Not wanting to get closer or be anywhere near their battle, Shichiro decided to shelter Panther Lily and do himself the courtesy of dragging the unconscious redhead's body towards the entrance of the tower so no further damage could be caused to it. He laid it next to the charred body of another man he didn't know. Now that he was safely out of harm's way, he figured it would be easier if he just gathered all of the bodies in one spot to make it easier to pick up and carry out at a later point in time. Honest bounty hunter work for honest pay, they used to say back in the days when he was a "mercenary". The mercenary bit was just a cover for what he used to do back when he first arrived in Fiore which was be a bandit  or a highwayman. Chuckling to himself, he hoped nobody ever did an extensive background check on him. Ah well, he was pretty good at hiding his identity when he was younger and he figured he'd be fine. Either way, with an injured Panther Lily resting on his shoulder's Shichrio decided to make his way back up the tower in order to retrieve the body of the unconscious one at the top of the tower.

Entering the tower once more he had quickly began his ascent up the tower, starting his run before accelerating to his full speed up the spiral tower in hopes of finding the body of the man who had a power rivaling his own. Upon making it to the top, he had found the man still unconscious on the floor of it. Giving a little agitated sigh, he scooped him up under his arm once more and headed back down the spiral tower, a little slower this time since he was carrying the body. Peering over the railing as he walked, he heavily contemplated just dropping the body down the tower and picking it back up. Unfortunately, he was afraid of the man actually dying from falling to his death and he didn't want to risk that as he needed headquarters to verify his identity. If he was worth any kind of bounty, he'd want to cash in on that, especially since he had to fight an annoying battle in order to do so. He's lucky he couldn't steal anymore or he'd 'confiscate' his gear. Making it back down to the bottom of the tower, he'd lay the body next to the other two and go back to watching the fight ensue. He was here now for moral and combat support, more or less as he watched Hitomi and Seika clean up what was left of the remaining rabble. 

Taking this time, he'd lean against the wall of the tower, in order to watch the bodies of three of the unconscious suspects and, folding his arms underneath his chest. With that, he'd go back to watching the fight unfolding in front of him, letting his presence strengthen his allies.

The rain and wind seemed to increase in intensity as the fighting continued. Mana flowed and stress heavy on Jikan's body as she punched, kicked, and struck out at the Rune Knights around her. The other members that would later make up Sleeping Calamity falling in their respective clashes with the members that made up the bounty hunting group before them. The heavy rain felt it grew in size, the rain drops changing from pellets to what felt like punches.

That heaviness was replaced by heat, a burning sensation that started at her chest that soon spread to the rest of her body. Her arms, her legs, her neck. All felt hot, overwhelming. It was relentless, only being distracted by her focus. The reality of the fight or flight situation she faced with Hitomi and Seika before him. Her veins pulsed with her blood, her will, and her limited magical powers. Sword in hand, she casted her spell to try and push Seika away, and at first she thought her aim succeeded. It did, however, it did not stop the man from reaching his desired range. Not being able to pull Hitomi out of the way, but enough to inflict his wrathful flames on those near, Jikan and Hitomi.

Pushed back, Seika was forced to watch as the first strike cut Jikan's target, swift movements came with the second strike. Jikan was to put Hitomi down in this fight, but without pain not needed, it would not be dragged out. And so, when Seika came forward once again, Hitomi fell backwards, into her subordinates hands.

The flames continue to burn her, melting away her vision of the world before her, but she only had one thing in her mind. Fight. Fight and escape. And so, the red haired warrioress had moved forward, stabbing forward in aims to hit Seika, the blinding light source of the burning sensation in her. Panther Lily's sword shined in her hand as it moved forward to stab, but stopped inches from its target. Jikan eyes, open, but cloudy. Body unconscious and standing, unable to move an step further even more.
