Ruby Flameskin's Point Of View
/ Clang!/
" Gr..."
I clenched my teeth as I tried to cut him down... But he's quick enough to block me... No, quick doesn't even begin to describe it... Its almost like he knows what we're all going to do before we do it. I'm not sure what spell he might be using, but the fact he can handle Sarah and I swinging for his head, tells me that we'll need to start attacking him with our best attacks soon if we want to defeat him before John's spell wears off.
" !"
/ Thump! Screech! Clang!/
" The both of you are beginning to get annoying. Tell you what, I think I'll fight the big one first. You need to take a break."
/ Thump!/
" Ah!"
/ Woosh!/
Sarah quickly appeared behind the Elf and attempted to thrust her halberd through his back, it's been the same situation for the past 5 minutes now, we keep attempting a pincer attack and not matter how we switch our timing and rhythms, the elf keeps being able to block us. Before now though, he wasn't able to land a clean attack on us. As he blocked Sarah's halberd for the umpteenth time, he seemed to decide to split us up. With a sharp kick to Sarah's stomach, she was sent flying away. I was concerned for her, but considering what the Elf just said, it looks like I need to worry about myself for now.
* Tighten!*
I gripped my sword as I began to observe the elf.
" Oh? Concerned are we? That makes sense. But don't worry you beast, your friends will join you shortly."
/ Rumble!/
With a cocky smile on his face, the Elf began to release his mana... I'm not sure if it was to intimidate me or because he actually planned to use a spell, but as I was preparing for the worst outcome...
/ .../
The rumbling had stopped.
" Now then, let's start, I'm sure your friend will be back before we both know it."
/ Thump! SWOOSH! CLANG!/
" Ah! You blocked!? That's right, you did use your Enhancement Skill didn't you? A shame you can't just use mana like us! But don't worry, you can lament in the afterlife!"
/ Clang! Clang! Clang!/
The Elf began to attack, it looks like he simply enhanced himself with his mana... But didn't he already do that? Are Elves able to stack their Enhancement? If that's the case, I'll need to thank John when I see him after the battle, its because of his spell that I'm still able to keep up with the Elf still. Even though he's so self-assured, he still can't break through my defense. As for who I need to thank for that, well... I'm sure I'll run into My Mother eventually if John, Sarah and Anna continue to bring me to battles in this war. But that's enough about thinking about the future, I need to worry about the here and now. And if the Elf is getting ready to use his Skills, I suppose I should as well. I'm a Demonic Heavy Knight, sure I'm a bit slow with all of this thick armor on, but with John's magic, I feel like I'm wearing leather armor only! And not just that, but I've seen how Sarah and Anna use this spell... And if they can do it, there's no way I can't! But first, I need this guy's sword to get off of mine!
/ Screech!/
" AH!"
" Did you think that I was going at 100%? You're a fool!"
