Cloaked figure

Another sudden gust of wind blew Ryu and pinned him to the door.

Yuki instantly got to her feet, summoned her blade, and jumped towards the railings again, but stayed in mid-air this time, swiping the blade and breaking the railings, sending the wooden pieces down.

A cloaked figure flew out of the balcony and onto the altar, holding a Great Sword.

The wind abruptly ceased, releasing Ryu from the door with a jarring thud against the cold stone floor.

Yuki, on the other hand, landed heavily, the impact reverberated through her bones. Her blade sang as it sliced through the air, joining Ryu's attack on the figure.

Summoning his own blade...

He moved like a shadow, his sword coming in the form of a whirlwind of fury, each strike was precise—a deadly dance around the stained-glass windows.

With a resounding crash, a shattered rose window rained down, showering them in a cascade of coloured glass shards.
