Dimrose and his army are on pursuit with the still standing first force combined with the main force. Roy is on his own again against the herd of Usher who has suddenly disappeared from the battlefield leaving Clyde in command. Roy now is more determined to get his way through the herd and kill Clyde who is standing behind the thick crowd of werewolf-like men.

Whoever the real one is, I'll make them suffer like my sister did. He thought, his eyes never leaving the man sneering across him.

Yenna is up against Nightingale again and still, she's got nothing against her.

If only I can drag her out of this Grave, I'll let her see who the real stronger one is, Yenna thought and grinned.

"Why don't we take this out of the Grave?" Yenna goaded but Nightingale smiled widely towards her.

"After I kill you" Nightingale raised her blade on Yenna's neck level. Before the edge could even reach Yenna's neck, a group of soldiers got suddenly blown towards them enough to push them out of the Grave which is just twenty meters away.

Without even getting herself up, Yenna took control of her element and slammed Nightingale towards the lane of trees that got broken into half after collision.

"Get out of here" Nightingale said through her transmitter and was about to stand up when a bind of wind caught her leg and got slammed to every tree until a wide space is made.

"There, we have our own arena. Say, are you still alive?" Yenna sneered while floating in mid-air looking down on Nightingale who has not moved yet.

"Would you like me to remind you of how I tortured you a decade ago?" Yenna grabbed Nightingale on her ankle by a rope made of condensed wind. She played Nightingale like a hammer trying to hit a mole on the ground. Nightingale hit the broken tree trunks and those that are still rooted on the ground.

"Yes, I toyed on you just like this. And then..." Yenna trailed off as she encloses Nightingale in a tornado wherein the flows of airs acted like blades cutting through her skin and thick leather clothes.

"After that..." Yenna trailed off again and tossed Nightingale upwards and sent those spear-like flows of air and sent those through Nightingale like some real spear. Nightingale vomited blood right after impact. Yenna continued throwing those wind spears that hit Nightingale like bullets from a machine gun.

"Oh this is fun" Yenna laughed and now she keeps on throwing Nightingale around like some kind of ball. She then threw Nightingale above and slammed her back to the ground.

"I won't let you meet my King again" The Queen is now looking down on Nightingale who hasn't been moving for a while. But then, Yenna caught a whiff of smoke under her nose and figured out what was causing the smoke when she felt the heat behind her. Frantically, she put out the fire eating her hair up. Another fire started on her boots that made her throw those away, and now on her supposed-to-be armour. Yenna was able to save the fabric holding her undergarments. Nightingale gave out a deep chuckle as she pushes herself up to stand like a broken doll.

"There, don't you think you look more... seductive?" The fire from Yenna's boots spread around the space she made like wild fire but to her surprise, nothing is burning.

"What are you doing?" Yenna asked as her pulse starts to accelerate and the heat from the wall of fire causes her to sweat. Nightingale didn't answer and is just walking towards Yenna like someone who rose from its grave. The fire filled the arena and the sight of it is enough to make Yenna tremble.

She's gotten stronger, she thought as she tries to blow the fire away but the fire seems to be made out of rock since it's not moving by the wind. The fire below her is now reaching her feet. When she tried to go higher, a knife fused with fire flew just above her head that made her stop. More came her way. She found that it's getting harder for her to breath and that smoke is filling up the space from things that are not even burning. She tried to create a whirlwind but it went out before the wind can even take up speed.
