*The end was near. For him at least. He saw his life flash before his eyes. The swordsman was going to stab him and the coward that carried the crossbow shot at him. He swore to kill that low life, if it was the last thing he would do. It was inevitable. He back stepped, hoping he would take a little less damage from the shot. Though he didn't lose hope, at the last second, he tried using his arm to block the arrow. At least it was a better trade than to hit a forearm instead of organs. The arrow had flew and it would strike his forearm. He tried to hold the pain inside and endure.* 

**"YOU FUCKING COWARD!!"** 

*Although he wanted to say more, he had to move out of the way of the swordsman's attack. In order to regain retribution, he had to survive until he could get his hands on that crossbowman. Oh how much pain he wanted to inflict on him. The anger, the rage, the pain. It mixed horribly, like alcohol and depressing emotions. Now's not the time to be a fucking crybaby. It was time to strike.* 

*'I swear. I swear. I will get my vengeance.'*

"Yukine, try to attack him from different angles-." 

*His voice would cut off as he grunted. The pain was strong and his breathing was heavy. It was only his forearm but he tried to endure it. In this situation, he couldn't use his left arm. In the fear of making the injury worse, since Sirdan is far away and was busy, he had to buy some time until he could get healed. He would try to snap out of it and cast a spell that would make him swift. As the white glow appeared it would vanish in a matter of seconds. He would also toggle his 'One with the Breeze' racial trait. Making him fast and blurry. As he ran towards the low life, he knew that it would take him long to reload and shoot his crossbow.* 

**"THIS IS MY RETRIBUTION, YOU LOWLIFE!"**

*His voice was loud and menacing. As he moved northwest (10m) and when he approached in front of him, he would thrust the sword into his face.*

*If the attack did hit or not, he would quickly move behind his back (3m) and kick him, his purpose, to push him down to the ground and cut off his head.*

Looking at Kenpachi out of the corner of her eye, Yukine could see the scene of him being hit by the arrow that the crossbowman had aimed at him while the swordsman attacked him. Although they were cowards because they did this, they worked as a team, something that perhaps the group has not been doing so well since they arrived. Her red eyes turned to the swordsman, her hands gripping the spear tighter and pulling it out of the shield. Taking advantage of Akaise holding the man, Yukine tried to hit him again with the spear towards his face, specifically right in the middle of his face. Yukine wanted to see that scene. The tip of the spear penetrating and tearing his skin, blood dripping from his face, the suffering he would feel. After all, that mission was already leaving her without patience, which was something difficult to make Yukine feel.

*'Die!'*

If the attack was not a success and the man somehow dodged the attack she had made, Yukine would move behind him, her left hand taking the dagger from her belt and positioning herself aggressively with it. If she needed to protect herself from his attack, she would use the spear for that. She was going to use that moment of distraction from him to analyze the man and see if she had any 'loopholes' that she could take advantage of to attack him.

Yukine felt sorry for the pain that Kenpachi must be feeling, it was certainly unbearable. But when she saw him move towards the crossbowman, she would look at him for a moment and return her attention to the swordsman. Anger... Hate... Those were the only things she felt when she abandoned the people she loved most. Ah, how funny people were. Nor does she know why she remembered something like that in the middle of a fight. Perhaps she saw a part of her in Kenpachi at that time, but other than him, she was not able to take revenge on the person who hurt her. At least he had that chance.

*Sirdan would be able to tank the Scalding Oil, the granite protecting his skin. The pilum would soar through the air and lodge itself in mage 1's chest, piercing his heart and instantly killing him. He lets out a dying scream, as mage 2 yells.*

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

*Mage two would then launch another Scalding Oil Blast at the elf, then would begin to back away, frozen in fear.*

*Akaise's tentacles would be able to wrap around the swordsman's legs, but he had other plans. His right metallic shin guard glows bright white, and a sudden crack of electricity renders that tendril useless.*

*Meanwhile, the pollaxe guy simply draws back his weapon and stabs the tentacle using the pollaxe spike, right before the weapon crackling with electricity, creating a deep dent inside the tentacle. It would flicker slightly, seemingly weaker, and drop to the floor, paralyzed.*

*Kenpachi would be struck by the bolt, his arm pierced by the powerful bolt. Fortunately his armor limits some of the damage. He would easily be able to reach the crossbowman, who would be attempting to use a magic windlass to reload his weapon. He would look up only to see an angry air Macen charging at him.*

"Fuck!"

*He falls over, preventing his face from being skewered. He's kicked over, but is able to use the crossbow to block the overhand blow. It's obvious that he's weaker though.*

"My hair! It's touching the floor!"

*The swordsman would respond.*

"Balar, stop worrying about your fucking hair! We're fighting for our lives here!"

*The shield would be moved to block Yukine's spear jab, but he wouldn't be able to move it to block any dagger stabs. He moves his right hand out of the paralyzed tentacle, and levels his sword at the Kitsune vampire.*

"I would not want to be struck by this blade."

*As Sirdan finished the throw, and the figure before him fell instantly, he knew his attack has succeeded. Time to handle the other target..

He felt a splash on oil on his back and legs, the stone skin thanksfully blocking them off before it could transmit too much heat.*

*He turned toward the mage. He wanted to take him down right now.*

*With his lower left arm, he cast force blast - he wanted to use war dart against his leg, but hitting his center of mass was much, much easier. He aimed it at the mage's upper chest, shooting as his leg jolted forward, charging at the man in a furious, quick rush, bolstered by his supernatural speed.*

*If the man was knocked down, Sirdan stopped his charge just short of him, lowering himself and making a right-to-left diagonal cut into his head.*

*If he didn't, he would perform a downward, right to left diagonal cut toward the man's head or neck. If the mage wasn't knocked down, Sirdan would keep charging, not halting so that even if the cut was avoided, the mage would be rammed down by him onto the ground.*

*He has a fulmination spell. Not good. Her one tentacle there was paralyzed. Looks like she picked the wrong shield for this battle... Metal conducts the spell, after all. She'd need wood to be able to block the effects of such a spell from reaching her. This kind of spell counters her tentacles... That was what her father warned her, long ago.*

*She had to get away, but the weight of her tentacle on the floor would prevent her from moving past 4 meters. She backstepped, aiming to avoid any of the pollaxe guy's further attacks with her still-conductive shield, before realizing something; She still had two good tentacles, latching onto the swordsman. If she could use them in such a way that would prevent her from being harmed by Landen...*

*Akaise used her tentacle to yank the swordsman's ankle, pulling herself a bit further backwards due to conservation of momentum and putting him off balance (though not pulling with enough force to make him fall). Once that was done, with her two tentacles she would attempt to hurl the swordsman at into the pollaxe wielder at a high velocity. Seems like she would need some time to get all four of her tentacles back in the game, after two of them had been disabled.*

"Fall in, I'm waiting."

Yukine looked at the swordsman with a smirk on her lips. She seemed to be mocking him in some way. Pulling the spear with her right hand, Yukine would firmly hold the dagger with her left hand, moving her body so that she could try to hit the man's face with the blade. It was a risk. But she tried to seize the moment when he had just defended himself from the spear. Yukine knew she could be hit by the sword, but when she saw Akaise attacking him again, she took advantage of the moment when he was distracted.

If it was not a success, Yukine would move away from him, trying not to be hit by the sword he was holding. Thus, she would let Akaise continue with what she was doing.

"Balar? What a lovely name."

*A wicked grin formed on his face as he kicked the crossbow away from him. He would sit on his stomach, his legs on his side, pinning him down. He didn't want him to get away. It was his kill and he wanted blood.* 

"Your time has come, bastard." 

*As he gripped it where it would looke like the curved blade would be aiming out. He would take his time and he would thrust the blade into his forehead. If it hit or if it didn't he would keep thrusting it in and out. Making sure he felt satisfied when he was done with him. If Balar tried to block with his arms, Kenpachi would try to didmember him by slashinng and slashing until this 'Balar' was completely dead.* 

"Not so tough without your crossbow, huh?" 

*He would let out an evil and wicked laugh. His mind was set to this one purpose. It felt corrupted and dark.. Hopefully he can get a hold of himself..* 

*'This feels too good. I can't kill a man in cold blood..*'

*He knew that this was wrong but after all.. It was Balar's fault for shooting him..* 

*'No! I can't! I have to stop!'* 

*He had mixed personalities, his mind was unclear and it seemed like a bad headache.*

*Sirdan's force blast easily knocks the frail mage over, and the blade easily cuts into the man's head, killing him instantly. Both mages were dead.*

*Kenpachi effortlessly kicks the crossbow away, and is able to do whatever he does to the Balar. He's dead now, indefinitely.*

*Yukine though, would suffer one of the worst injuries. As she rushes in with the dagger, the swordsman raises his blade, and his sword glows an array of colors, blue, white and gold, crackling with electricity as well. He then swings it at Yukine's reckless stab easily chopping off her entire hand, leaving only a stump where the hand was. Not only that, but the current on the sword paralyzes the disabled arm. Yukine was in trouble now.*

*Akaise's tentacles though, would be able to drag the man's leg. She would be able to move him a signifcant distance, her three tentacles combined sending him into the pollaxe man. Landen would had been advancing, his weapon held high, but is knocked back once his friend is yeeted into him. The swordsman gets quite banged up by the impact, but the other gets right back up. He soon sees though, that his friend is gone.*

"Fuck!"

Oh Yukine lost her hand
Gay
Sirdan turned to the right. His lower left arm unstrapped his burning shield, and his actual right arm took up his warhammer. His left arm gripped it from below, using it two handed as he rushed at the two disabled man merely three meters away. 

His lower right arm cast force blast, aimed at Landen's lower leg to knock him onto the ground. Aimed below his centre of balance, it would probably land him on his face, where he cannot swing his pollaxe effectively. Or for that matter, defend against Sirdan's attack.

If Landen is hit by the force blast, he would the hammer hard from above, after climbing on top of the man, casting pink steel strike as a pink glow surrounded his arm and weapon, before crashing the hammer down on Landen's head.

If not, he would sidestep to the left and attack the swordman, again casting empowered strike.

*No mercy. Not anymore. She seemed to have lost it a long time ago.*

*Akaise removed her visor, it audibly clanging as it hit the marble floor. The typical signs of life looked as if they had vanished from her empty eyes. She definitely didn't look the same as she did before entering the temple. Walking towards the downed swordsman yet making sure to not get too close, she used two of her tentacles to immobilize his wrists. Her visor off, the wizard gazed into his eyes for a moment before firing a Plasma Shot between them. With her upper right tentacle, she also knocked over the brazier so its flaming contents would also fall onto the swordsman's face.*

*Releasing her grip from the swordsman, the wizard glanced towards Landen, who was right next to him. After Sirdan's Force Blast and attack, she would proceed to slam her four tentacles onto Landen repeatedly, not stopping until the marble floor underneath gave way and the pollaxe wielder was pummeled fully into the ground. The girl seemed rather silent as opposed to before, staring blankly towards the pollaxe wielder as she beat him mercilessly with her bronze tentacles, not caring if he was dead or alive; as opposed to the others, the wizard's breathing was eerily calm.*
