'The pollaxe wielder is already attacking?!'

He would ready himself, pulling out his katana on his right hand, leaving his left hand free. He stayed careful from the crossbowman, he knew that the heavy crossbow could easily injure him with one accurate shot. He couldn't do anything else than use his ranged spells, it would be foolish to attack them head on. After Akaise shot her spell from before, he would hold his left hand out, and the air would spiral into his palm, forming a little cyclone. A moment later, he aimed his palm towards the crossbowman's neck, hoping to distract and add more damage with Akaise's spell. As the conical projectile launched from his hand, he would take out his dagger with his left hand, now having all of his weapons equipped.

'Hopefully that shot proved effective. I have got to take out those two mages, they might prove to be an even worse threat. Two mages together would equal a large amount of spells.'

As he stood their, keeping his calm, a loud screech would be heard. He looked around to see where it came from and he would see Akaise. He would shake his head, trying to endure the abnormally loud voice.

'That sound came out of her?!'

Yukine continued to retreat with the rest of her group, thinking that they had to fight the guards for nothing, and still would not earn any money for it. *'What a waste-'* Her thought would be interrupted by the yell of the man who was now running towards them, her eyes glancing quickly at him and then at the other elves. *'Shit, now we need to fight that guy?!'* She thought and stopped walking, turning towards the man charging at them. She would hold the spear firmly with both hands and position herself in a more defensive way. He would definitely be a problem, as would the person with the crossbow.

For now, the best that Yukine could do was to wait for the result of Akaise's attack on the man charging at them. She fixed her eyes on the crossbowman, cold eyes, red as blood. No one in the group could be hit by it, otherwise it would be a major disadvantage for the group, and could even cause their defeat.

Hearing Akaise's scream was uncomfortable, but Yukine already had something in mind about the reason for the scream. She was going to use her left hand to take the dagger that Sirdan had given her earlier and hold it. All she could do was wait until the right moment to attack came. To depend on others was a horrible thing for Yukine, but she had no other option, each of them had their disadvantages and advantages. It was better to depend on the strongest to keep from dying. And, of course, get stronger.

*The force blast catches the charging man square in the chest, stopping him in his tracks and almost knocking him over, had he not stepped back and used his pollaxe for balance. He's not used to being hit with such spell, so it would take a while for him to maintain his balance. Seeing his bloodthirsty comrade charge in, he would yell.*

"Landen you blundering idiot!"

*He can't say any more though, as he sees the two arcane tendrils shooting for his sword wrist. The silver haired elf would gracefully step to the side and attempt to slice them, only to find that his sword would simply glance off the hardened tentacles. His facial expression is that of shock, then of annoyance.*

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me..."

*It seems like there was no way for him to take the mage head on. Fortunately, he sees the red eyed woman and the ronin. He decides that they'll be much easier to take down, especially without much armor, and begins to move towards her and Kenpachi.*

*The crossbowman would rush forward behind the statue, the granite shielding him from the spells. It's close though, as the fireball singes the tips of his long hair. He wouldn't move out afterward, in fear of getting hit, which would put him out of commission, and also ruin his hair even more.*

"Oh shit! My hair!"

*Mage one (male) and mage two (female) would step out from behind the stone statues. Their hands would glow red and blue respectively, mage 1 aiming for Akaise and mage 2 aiming for Sirdan. A massive fireball would hurtle towards the young mage, while scalding oil would be launched at Sirdan.*

*Sirdan kept his attention to his left, expecting the crossbowman to shoot at him. He saw the mage's hand - not knowing what spell it is, but it is a spell for sure. He shifted his shield slightly to block the spell, as it impacted him. A bit of the oil splashed around the shield, Sirdan's stone skin thanksfully insulating the impact a bit.*

*With the swordman to his right, he felt a direct charge at Mage 1 would lead to him getting intercepted. Instead, he turned around, still charging forward - but leftward now, sword concealed by his shield.*

*He ran northward, aiming for the crossbowman. If he reaches his square in time, Sirdan would exposes his shield for a split second, before his arming sword came out from behind, with a thrust directly aimed at the crossbowman's throat / head*

Yukine's eyes glanced in the direction of the swordsman who was now approaching her and Kenpachi. *'How annoying.'* She thought and fixed her eyes on the enemy before moving closer to Kenpachi, holding the spear with her right hand. If the man got closer to both of them, she would use the spear in her favor and try to find some point where she could stab him with the tip of the spear.

If he attacked Yukine and Kenpachi, she would just walk away so that she could wait for the right moment when she could make an attack with a greater chance of success. Yukine sought to analyze the man for the chances that she, or Kenpachi, could kill him or put him out of the game. For now, she waited to see if her attack would be successful, or if Kenpachi would use any skill against the swordsman.

*As her magical tendrils missed the swordsman's wrist, Akaise noticed something rather important to her left. The glowing hand of the mage behind the statue was red, most likely casting a standard spell from the school of Conflagration... Amateur. Realizing that she had little time to try and sidestep such an attack, she instead decided to use a different way to prevent herself from getting hit. Quickly, she pulled her two left tendrils back after her attack had been avoided; however, instead of letting them return to their original position, she instead had them try and latch onto the waist of the pollaxe-wielder who had almost lost his balance. One tendril at her right side would also have the task of grabbing onto the pole part of his pollaxe to try and immobilize it, most likely achieving it quicker due to its closer proximity to her enemy. If this was successful, Akaise would pull the pollaxe user to the right, blocking the path of the mage's Flaming Bale. Immediately after, she would try to turn Landen around so that the flaming projectile would hit his front rather than his back, although this was not exactly necessary to her plan of using him as a human shield. Either way, she would use her right hand to also fire her own Plasma Shot at the pollaxe wielder, as well as use her left hand shield to guard from the Flaming Bale in case her plan did not work as she intended it to. If this was successful, he would be hit from both sides by the two conflagration spells. A devastating attack, although the enemy was still wearing a full set of armor.*

*After the mage's shot had landed, Akaise's last tendril would latch onto Landen's waist as well. With the might of all four of her Arcane Tendrils, she hurled Landen towards the granite statue that Mage One was behind in an attempt to cause him to smash into it.*

*He would sigh.* 

*'Damn. Here we again.'*

*As the swordsman approached, he would be defensive, considering his armor is not effective in this situation. He would stand their, a moment later, a dark malevolent aura would surround his right body, the feint purple glow faded out in a matter of seconds as he finished his casting. He would wait until the swordsman would attack, then he'll make his move.* 

*'I'll waste a little bit of my spell but I'll make sure I can protect Yukine and myself.'* 

"Come at me." 

*He wasn't in a position to taunt at his enemies and make them more annoyed but it was two against one. He hoped that Yukine and his self would support each other. He was taunting by using his dagger to make a 'come here' motion.*

*The crossbowman would end up turning around the statue, only to see Sirdan charging at him. His eyes open wide in fright.*

"Oh shit!"

*The elf would run as fast as he could, holding his heavy crossbow similarly to an awkward rifle, or not well, but still fast enough to keep distance between the two, despite Sirdan closing in.*

*The pollaxe would end up being too slippery for Akaise to get a grip, but she is able to pull him into both spells and yeet him into the granite. However, he seems to ignore the blaze, his armor now burning with orange and purple flame. After the slam, the statue would crack, but the knight would get right back up with no problem, and proceed to stab at the nearby tentacles.*

*The swordsman would see Kenpachi begin to glow with a dark aura, and would stop in front of him.*

"A dark magic user. Evil like you needs to be purged."

*He would level his shield up at Kenpachi, approaching like a tank, waiting for Kenpachi to make the first move.*

*The two mages would step back, such that they would catch Sirdan in between them. Their hands would glow as they fire the same spells before at the steppe elf.*

Sirdan heard a loud crash. 

*Hope not ally. 

Fuck. Two aiming.

Run. Forward. Breath. Steady. Good.*

He ran forward between the two statues, cutting off the line of sight of the two mage, barely "Dodging" Their spells in time. He continued on his original war path, turning left to take cover behind the statue. The sudden change in velocity probably limited his speed at the moment.

He has learnt his lesson - he need a human shield to prevent being pincered between the two mage's deadly spells. 

As he turned left, his legs glowed in red again, once again keeping up his supernaturally fast speed. He needs to get one of them. Before he run out of magical energy... 

A plan. He must attack them from range. 

The form of a pilum formed in his lower right arm. Sirdan peered to his left and right. He can only block one attack. Fuck.
