FoOoOoOm!
Ripping through the air, the searing fireball hungered for the tyrant's demise.
A hope denied, for he leapt back, evading the impact from which a ferocious dome of flames erupted.
Far from over.
From another angle, the katana's steel glimmered.
"Book of Vonoa: First Chapter—Raven Blade!"
Like a truculent ram, the swordswoman darted to her foe, her blade ready to deliver one hundred cuts.
Again, Ren kept himself safe.
But Pluto persisted, hurling out a string of swipes and slashes.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Miss upon miss,
followed by a stagger as her collection of aches screamed for relief.
The tyrant smirked.
"Getting tired?"
Viciously, he rammed his knuckles into the swordswoman's side, and she flew weakly out of his vicinity.
From above, the dragon,
whose beastly hand was cocked back.
"Hazard Paw!"
BOOM!
Like a rampant wildebeest, blistering flames exploded from her palm.
Ren stayed unimpressed, and with a brute's demeanor, he launched his fist deep into that starving heat. On impact, vast pockets of electricity broke loose, blending chaotically with the blaze to neutralize it.
The dragon grimaced, and the tyrant wasted no time bolting to her position to snatch her ankle and slam her body hard against the rooftop. Scarlet gushed from her throat as her nerves flared.
Ren then flung Selen back, determined to have her fall off the castle.
No such outcome; not when the swordswoman was there to catch her comrade, her fingers latching onto the dragon's.
"Not on my watch!" Pluto hollered, launching Selen back into the fray.
As she glided, the dragon ground her claws against the swordswoman's blade, making the metal hiss as lustrous fire engulfed it.
Ren shot up his arms to block.
Wham!
His heels slid back at the unworldly power of Selen's strike. And she only grew more intense, firing off a harsh combo of punches and kicks.
Before her tank drained completely, however, she dashed back, clearing the path for her ally.
"Book of Vonoa: Alternate Verse—Crescent Blaze!"
Her grip firm, Pluto swung her blade, and like a monstrosity unearthed, a voracious, lunar-shaped symphony of fire and particles burst into existence to chase after her foe.
The tyrant's smirk never died as he stomped his foot to summon a vigorous wave of lightning. With ease, the deadly voltage erased the fiery projectile.
The swordswoman dropped to a knee, exhausted.
The dragon beside her didn't fare much better.
"I don't suppose you still have your marble?" Selen asked.
Pluto answered, "Can't say I do."
"Fuck."
Ren's poise bolstered fortitude, his amusement immeasurable.
