On the walls Reima watches and winces as Kalini is killed, though her walking up the stairs and standing next to him to observe where the next place to attack was really took the oomph out of her apparent death.
He knocks another arrow and fires it into the forest, hoping to hit one of Generals of the Wild Hunt... Well, atleast before Priscilla does.
Risryn who'd been on a spree of destruction as soon as hitting the floor hadn't even drawn her blade yet. Using her palms she deflects two swords by slapping their flat sides and changing their momentum, then she delivers a combo on the face of a soldier only seen before in Street fighter. Despite the man's steel helmet the force was so strong and rapid that his spine had all but liquefied. However as more of the Prospects are killed their numbers dwindle until they can make their way back. The Wild Hunt had an advantage in their heavy armour, formations, tactics and overall numbers.
Risryn was left surrounded by a group of soldiers who were all ready to cut her down... Risryn wasn't a pushover however, White Fold Particles envelop her as she finally draws her weapon. A long double edge sword, nothing particularly special about it apart from it's wielder. She dashes forwards towards an armoured soldier with ridiculous speed, her sword piercing their throat before they could even react. Tearing her sword from their throat she performs a graceful overarm slash that kills yet another man.
After seeing her dramatic increase in strength the soldiers didn't hesitate to rush forwards in an attempt to overpower her, they'd performed a perfect manoeuvre that would have prevented any regular person from defending against all their attacks. They had made the mistake of assuming Risryn didn't have any option though, using the chest of a soldier she leaps above them and uses her speed to use their heads, shoulders and backs to fight. They try to knock her off but she just changes her position when they make the attempt, but not before slashes their throats as she leaves. Even when others try to attack her they end up attacking their own colleagues!
Placing her feet on either side of a soldiers head she rapidly twists her hips and breaks their neck, she returns back to the ground after reducing their units enough where she'd be at a disadvantage using her previous tactic. Her hand glows white with the Fold Particles as she strikes the floor, causing an area around her to rumble and push the remaining ones off balance. It's like spearing fish in a barrel as she finishes the rest off.
She looks around the battle field to see where she'd next be most efficient, however she spots a dim glow and a shadow shooting from behind her on the ground. Ducking under it she turns and see's an armoured soldier wearing robes and a different helmet to the rest, they wield a metal staff and their offhand glows with what looks like a mini-blizzard.
Having already heard about the magic of this world she tries to get closer to the Mage, her feet not moving as she almost glides over the ground towards them.
The Mage throws their hand forward with causes shards of hardened ice to shoot towards her, Risryn dodges them but obtains a few cuts and scratches for her trouble. After twisting her body to avoid the attack she lunges forwards with her sword to kill the Mage, but ends up passing through them as they teleport away, the only thing remaining in their place being some kind of unstable orb that immediately explodes and kills Risryn.
Reima who had seen the fight and seen the Mage teleporting away frowns and knocks an arrow before pointing it as where the douche bag had teleported to. They'd just reduced four Prospects to particles as the huge arrow hits their chest and liquefies their organs.
Solaire "Perhaps it is time to have our Pyromancers start attacking?" he asks with his arms crossed.
Reima shrugs, "Keeping their strength for the main force would be the most efficient, these guys are probably just here to see where the keeps weaknesses are."
Solaire nods, "We are wearing them down with the Prospects, from their point of view it must feel like we have unlimited reinforcements."
Foot steps coming from behind them have them turning around to see an unperturbed Risryn who looks over the wall and observes the battles situation. To be honest the Wild Hunt aren't able to even get past the constant stream of Prospects, though the enemies numbers and presence are dwindling which must mean they are planning something?
Solaire "Milady, I must say watching you fight was magnificent, like watching a dance of death." he says with a thumps up.
Risryn shrugs, "I hate Mages." she states, even now wondering how she could have avoided her last death.
Reima "After the battle I'll show you a couple ways of dealing with Mages, in exchange I wanna spar." he says with a grin.
Risryn nods, "Deal." she says as she leaps off of the wall yet again to join the fight.
Solaire "Ah, all this standing around is making me want to fight!"
Reima "Then just start throwing lightning, you have enough energy for the whole battle and then some." he shrugs.
Solaire "Ah... You're right.." he mutters sheepishly before pulling his arm back while materialising a lighting bolt and throwing it at a lone soldier who'd snuck past and was trying to put up a metal ladder on the wall. The bolt hits and the manner has a violent seizure before falling to the ground smoking.
Yeah, Risryn is still badass. Even more so than last time as she's been fighting the Guides army for around ten years! Now her only problem are Mages and magic users.
As always, if I missed anything please let me know.
