>>5445758The Axe Fighter who remains conscious backs off, regarding you quite fearfully after you brained his companion in a single strike. You figure it best to help your allies with the space provided to you but find that they require no aid themselves. Sebastian’s foes quickly discover that they’d have greater success striking their weapons against the nearest brick wall than they would against the hulking General and his great shield. One of the Halberdiers quickly finds himself flattened unconscious, pinned between the wall and said shield. The other Halberdier strikes, but his spear clatters to the ground into two pieces by a downward chop from Sebastian’s axe. The man quickly follows his weapon when Sebastian slams the butt of his axe into his temple.
Roxanne fares no worse than her armored counterpart. A swordsman tries to sneak his blade in through her guard, only for the girl to duck the attack, and follow up with a vicious sounding headbutt. The man falls to the floor, rendered unconscious. The blow opens a cut on Roxanne’s forehead, causing blood to run down her face and render her a ghastly sight. She begins to slowly approach the second Sword Fighter, who begins backing off fearfully.
“Come on, where are you going? We haven’t even gotten started!” She says to the man, while continuing to bang her axe and shield together and produce a shrill noise.
The swordsman shrieks in terror, before dropping his sword and falling to his knees, begging for Roxanne’s forgiveness, and crawling away to put his back up against the wall. Your companions are strong, that much is certain, but much like yourself, they also seem to have gotten a boost in power. Could Mina’s dance affect more than one person? Even Dorothea hadn’t been able to do that. Sure, she was a bit strange, but how was it possible someone like her could cause these mercenaries such grief?
Damian launches an Arcfire into the ground between your group and Rodolfo’s. A tall torrent of flame lights up the darkness and causes the enemy group to take a step back from the oppressive heat.
“Are you perhaps ready to cease this foolishness? If not, I promise my next spell won’t miss!” Damian shouts.
Rodolfo looks as though he’s ready to resort back to civil discourse. Or at the very least, get as far away from here as possible. “Fine, have it your way! You can have that worthless dancer. I hope you lot regret it!”
You feel Mina grab onto your shoulder, using it to give herself a boost, before yelling at Rodolfo. “Worthless?! Who are you calling worthless?!” She screams. Her nails dig into your shoulder, causing you to wince a bit in pain.
