Turning around, Yuuto used all his speed in an attempt to reach Mihae.
"Don't you know it is rude to turn your back on your superiors," Ravel called out, forming a compressed ball of fire in her hand. She then launched it forward.
The attack was fast enough to pass Yuuto, hitting the ground ten feet in front of him. He desperately tried to come to a stop, but his speed was now a liability.
He couldn't halt his momentum in time to retreat, instead being forced to watch in horror as the small ball of flames birthed a large explosion.
He was too close. The flames engulfed him, and the shockwave of the explosion sent him flying into the forest.
Ravel let out an annoyed sigh. Starting to walk towards Mihae, she muttered, "I was forced to act, but that wasn't even proper entertainment."
As she approached Mihae though, a frown formed on her face. There was no announcement of the knight retiring.
That must mean he was still conscious. Probably covered in burns and writhing in pain, but still conscious. She should go finish him.
She wasn't cruel. Proud and conceited, sure, but not cruel.
Before she could move to do just that, a large crash drew her attention. She turned to see that a large chuck of a tree had been thrown by the small rook at Mihae.
Mihae had been forced to jump out of the way rather inelegantly. As Mihae tried to regained her feet, the rook took the opportunity to close the distance.
Ravel could have interfered, but decided not to. She could clearly see the rook was injured from the earlier shot Mihae landed. Mihae did not need help.
After reaching her feet, Mihae launched a blast of wind at the approaching rook. Instead of dodging though, the rook just covered her face with her arms and bowled right through the attack.
Her shirt was turned to shreds from the attack, only a bra keeping her modesty, but overall the rook seemed to have endured it without injury.
Frowning at her attack's failure to inflict damage on the rook, Mihae started gathering demonic power.
Wind swirled around Mihae's body as she built up a more powerful attack.
This had just gotten more interesting. Mihae lacked true power in her attacks, instead replying on good control.
That left her vulnerable to rooks and other enemies with high defensive capabilities.
She had just developed this attack recently as a counter for those types. Ravel was interested in seeing how it held up in an actual battle.
Koneko approached, cocking a fist back. She didn't get close enough to unleash it though.
As soon as Koneko got within five feet, Mihae unleashed the attack she had been charging.
A wide scale, high intensity blast of wind. Koneko was far too close to even attempt to dodge.
The attack smashed into her, and sent her flying even faster than she had from the previous attack.
Koneko smashed through three trees, and many other trees were felled by the force of the wind Mihae unleashed.
It took a few seconds for the noise to end, just leaving a scene of destruction in front of Mihae. The two waited for two seconds before-
[Rias-sama's rook, retired.]
Good, the first of the enemy to fall. In Ravel's mind, it was like the first domino to fall. The rest would come crashing down now as well.
That was her thought as the ground beneath her started shaking. She looked at it with a raised eyebrow.
Seems the knight wasn't as incapacitated as she had believed. Ravel didn't bother moving as the blades sprang forth.
As the ice swords sunk into her though, she immediately felt something was wrong.
As soon as Ravel was stabbed multiple times, Yuuto dashed past her.
His clothes were torn and dirty, and he had a sword made out of ice in his hand. His target, Mihae.
Yuuto had barely managed to escape her attack. Too late to dodge, Yuuto had instead managed to create a special type of demon sword at the last second. Flame Delete, a sword that absorbs and devours flames.
It was a weapon he developed partially to counter the abilities of the Phenex. The weapon had successfully absorbed the flames before they engulfed him.
The shockwaves had still sent him flying though, and he had been stunned when he hit the ground.
Koneko must have suspected he had managed to escape. Knowing he needed time to recover, she had acted. She sacrificed herself to create a distraction.
Her sacrifice wouldn't be in vain.
Yuuto had birthed half a dozen Flame Delete swords to impale Ravel.
The regeneration of the Phenex relied on flames that bled from their wounds.
By using a flame suppressing sword to attack her, Yuuto hoped that her regeneration would be stalled for a brief time. Ten seconds was all he needed. No. Five seconds.
He had to finish Mihae before Ravel managed to overload those blades. She wouldn't be surprised like this again.
Mihae noticed his approach, and turned to face him. Wind was swirling around her. Yuuto knew what that meant.
Koneko's sacrifice had also given him a chance to see the trump card of the enemy bishop.
"Sword Birth," Yuuto called out as she sprinted towards Mihae.
A sword rose from the ground before him. Throwing the Flame Delete sword away, Yuuto grasped the new sword as he approached.
This one was a gleaming blade with a diamond shape on top, which held a small black ball.
As soon as Yuuto was feet away from her, Mihae let loose the same attack that had defeated Koneko.
Yuuto immediately swiped down with his blade. Wind destroyed the ground on each side of Yuuto, but he was left unharmed.
His sword, Replenish Calm, was a wind devouring blade. It had absorbed all the wind that would have hit him.
Mihae's eyes widened, and Yuuto let out a victorious grin. The next moment he was behind her, his sword stroke already finished.
Mihae gasped in pain as a large cut opened on her side. She feel forward, but disappeared in light before she hit the ground.
