Without missing a beat, Denji and Aki lunged another attack at the devil, their movements lightning-fast and filled with determination. They knew they had to put a stop to the devil's mocking and taunting, and they were hoping to catch it off guard with their swift attack.

The devil was prepared for their attack, however, and dodged their strikes effortlessly. It seemed amused by their attempt, and chuckled smugly. "Nice try, but you're going to have to do better than that," it said, its voice dripping with arrogance.

Undeterred by the devil's mocking, Denji and Aki pressed on with their attacks. They knew they couldn't let the devil get the upper hand.

Aki and Denji continued to battle the devil, their attacks growing more frantic as they realized the urgency of the situation. They knew they had to end the fight as quickly as possible, before Touko and Power were overwhelmed and killed by the clawed civilians.

Their thoughts were focused solely on the predicament of Touko and Power. They were worried about their friends, and they knew that every moment they spent fighting the devil was a moment they weren't there to help them. As they fought, they could hear the sounds of the struggle between Touko and Power and the clawed civilians, and they knew time was of the essence.

Aki and Denji's attacks began to wear the devil down, and its energy was beginning to wane as it spent more and more of it on making the civilians more relentless against Touko and Power. They could see the devil growing weaker, and they knew they had to capitalize on this advantage.

As Power fought against the civilians, she was unable to dodge an attack that was hurled at her, and she ended up getting slashed on her leg. She let out a cry of pain, stumbling back in shock and pain. "Damn it!" she cursed, gripping her wounded leg.

Touko heard Power's cry and glanced over, seeing her injured and struggling to stay on her feet as she fought against the civilians. She knew her friend was in trouble, and she couldn't just stand by and watch.

Touko tried her best to fight off the civilians coming at her, but they were too numerous and too aggressive, keeping her too occupied to help Power. She dodged and parried their attacks as best as she could, but she was outnumbered and her movements were getting more sluggish.

As Touko fought off the multiple civilians attacking her, she was keenly aware of Power's predicament a little ways away. She could hear her friend struggling to keep her own attackers at bay, and she wanted desperately to help her, but she was too preoccupied with her own battle.

Power let out a gasp of surprise as one of the civilians suddenly knocked her off her feet, sending her tumbling a couple feet away. She landed hard on the ground, and lay there, stunned and motionless. Touko, seeing Power go down, felt a pang of worry and despair. "Power!" she called out, strain in her voice.

Touko's voice echoed through the area as she called out for Power, her concern evident in her strained voice. She desperately wanted to go over to her friend and make sure she was alright, but the civilians continued to attack her, keeping her on the defensive. She could see Power lying motionless on the ground, and her heart was gripped by a mounting sense of dread and helplessness.

She fought on as the clawed civilians closed in on her, their numbers and aggression increasing with each passing moment. Without her weapons or abilities, she was completely outnumbered and outmatched. She fought on valiantly, trying to keep them at bay, but she was slowly being surrounded by the overwhelming number of civilians and the lack of space to maneuver.

Touko's attacks became more frantic and desperate as the clawed civilians surrounded her, their sharp claws tearing into her skin and causing her to bleed profusely. She could feel the terror and panic welling up inside of her, and her movements were becoming more sloppy and unfocused. Despite her best efforts, she could feel herself being pushed further and further to the edge, her breathing ragged and her heart pounding in her chest.
