Ramshackle's Angel

94

Lorelai is slammed into a piller before she got back up and charged at Lizzy with her angelic dagger. Stone stood on the upper level as he carefully watched them spar. Lizzy easily kicked her to the floor, sending her back a bit before she charged again. But, she was kicked away again. Lorelai barely got up just in time to raise her dagger before being kicked onto the floor again.

"Fuck! Ow!" She groaned as she slowly got up, only to be kicked yet again.

She striked at Lizzy twice but she dodges both times and threw her away.

"Come on! What is this?" She asked as she slowly got back on her feet.

"You want me to teach you how to beat demons? That's what I'm doing" Lizzy replied.

"By beating the shit out of me?!" She groaned.

"By showing you the flaws in your own fighting style. Yours and all your kind's" Lizzy explained to her.

Lorelai's eyes widened as her body started to heat up.

"Wait...you know that I'm a cambion? How?"  She asked, looking up at the woman in front of her.

Lizzy blinked.

"Your eyes turn red when you get angry, you have the same body temperature as the demons themselves, and you wield a angelic dagger. It's not rocket science."

This made Lorelai deflate a little as she and Stone looked away nervously. Lizzy sighed as she ran her hand down her masked face.

"Before you found out about me, did you know that demons could be harmed?" She asked her.

"Well, yeah...but not as effectively" she admitted.

Lizzy goes to strike her again but this time, Lorelai dodged it. She went with a knee kick and it landed.

"It shows in how you fight. You leave yourself open with every swing. You fight like someone unafraid of harm, and this is what you'll take advantage of. Demons weld no shields, little armor, and fight with reckless abandon. Strike them here, here, and here" Lizzy told her before hittner three spots on her head and neck.

"Augh! With what? Some secret weapon of yours?" Lorelai asked her as she rubbed where she just got hit.

"Seriously? Are you really so dense that you don't realize that you're holding the answer?" Lizzy asked her, motioning to her angelic dagger.

"Angelic weapons? It's that simple?" Stone asked from above.

"Angelic steel isn't common, Stormcloud. And those who have it don't exactly rush off to test it" Lorelai explained.

"Exactly. But when me and my children were cornered during one of the nightly attacks, I tried to buy time for them to flee, and well...lets just say a miracle happened" Lizzy stated as she remembered that night.

As her children ran away, the demon charged at her. Luckily, she jumped up and pulled out her dagger. The steel blade suddenly sparkled a beautiful white color as she came down and cut the demon's head off.
