And she had been successful. Yubelluna was not unscathed from the battle thus far.
Akeno had used a fire spell to destroy the staff Yubelluna had been carrying, her hand being burned as well.
A subtle ice spell mixed in with a thunder attack had allowed her to pierce Yubelluna twice with ice spikes.
Once above her right hip, and in her right thigh. The blood was dripping down her right leg.
The repeated thunder attacks had also often shocked her by virtue of proximity as well. Nothing fight ending, but even minor injuries build up over time.
Akeno's reckless fighting style was a double edged sword though. In her desire to hurt Yubelluna, Akeno had also sustained injuries.
Her entire right arm and sleeve had been burned moderately bad, and her left foot and calf had received a burn only slightly less intense.
Not to mention her miko clothes were burned by this point, just covering enough to keep her modesty.
Not that Akeno seemed to care. Unlike Yubelluna, who was clearly in pain whenever she had to move, Akeno seemed to be enjoying it.
Her face was locked in a blush, and she was frequently giggling happily for no real reason.
Yes, Akeno had firmly retreated into her S&M mode.
She was thoroughly enjoying the experience of inflicting pain on her opponent and having pain inflicted upon her in turn.
It was starting to get to Yubelluna. Even if she isn't showing it, fighting an opponent who only seemed to grow more aroused as the fight continued was rather disturbing.
Really. Akeno was looking at her like a piece of meat she wanted to devour. Very worrying.
At least things were going as they desired. Yubelluna was clearly on the losing end so far, but that was acceptable.
She came into this battle expecting to be the weaker one. As long as she injured and tired out her opponent enough before using the phoenix tears she had on her, she would win.
"Ara ara, Bomb Queen. This is fun, don't you think?" Akeno asked in an joyful voice. Yubelluna didn't answer.
Akeno didn't seem to care though, and just declared, "But I think it is time to finish up this duel."
Lifting her hands into the air, a large yellow magic circle formed above Akeno.
The demonic power was palpable. Akeno was clearly putting everything she had left into this attack.
Yubelluna quickly reciprocated. Gritting her pain as she aggravated her burned hand, Yubelluna put both her hands before her.
A red magic circle formed as she did her best to match the power of her opponent.
The demonic power between the two was intense as they charged their attacks for fifteen seconds.
Like a lightning rod, a bolt of thunder shot down from the sky to collide with Akeno's magic circle. The thunder was summarily absorbed.
With that as her cue, Akeno moved her hands in front of her. The magic circle then regurgitated the thunder it had absorbed, this time aimed directly at Yubelluna.
Yubelluna shouted as she shot her magic circle forward. The magic circle itself moved to meet the thunder bolt.
As soon as they collided, the magic circle detonated to form a large explosion of flames and heat.
The thunder was briefly held back, but then pushed through. Her attack overpowered, Yubelluna had no choice but to take it.
Crossing her arms and trying to focus her rook attribute, she waited till the thunder connected.
She screamed in pain as the electricity surged through her system. Blasted out of the sky, she wasn't capable of recovering in time to prevent hitting the ground.
Her body dug a trench in the ground before she came to a stop. Letting out a pained groan, she sat up.
That hurt, but she had survived. It also signified that Akeno was done as well.
A direct shot like that would have defeated Yubelluna at the beginning of their battle.
That she had survived indicated that Akeno was out of demonic power. There was no other explanation for her survival.
Which meant it was time for the phoenix tears.
Yubelluna looked into the sky for her opponent, but was confused to see nothing. Her opponent was gone. Frowning, she struggled to her feet.
She could use this opportunity to use the phoenix tears, but she wanted to see her opponent's face when she saw that she had been played.
Using what little demonic power she had left, she floated into the air. Her head then swiveled as she searched for her opponent.
She simply didn't think her opponent was one to flee entirely, so she had to be nearby.
It was a surge in demonic power that drew her attention. Moving in the direction, she came upon a sight she hadn't expected.
Her opponent had alighted down near the edge of the trees, but she wasn't alone. The blonde girl, who was wearing a nun habit, was with her.
The blonde was the source of the demonic power. She was clearly concentrating on something.
Based on the amount of demonic power and concentration, it was a high level spell.
Something else alarmed Yubelluna though. A little fact. Riser had spied a bit on Rias before he had gone to the human world to talk to her.
Just to get a sense of her peerage. He had found out that nun possessed the sacred gear, Twilight Healing.
A sacred gear capable of healing nearly any being of nearly any wound. A healer with her injured opponent. The conclusion was obvious.
Not willing to let her opponent be healed, Yubelluna sent an attack towards the nun. It never hit.
As soon as the attack was sent off, the nun let out a cry. A golden barrier formed around the duo, which endured Yubelluna's attack.
"A barrier?" Yubelluna remarked in shock. The nun could form barriers already.
Basic barriers aren't exactly uncommon, but the nun had supposedly only been a devil for a bit over a month.
To learn to create barriers in such a short time was very rare, and implied a great deal of talent in using demonic power.
