>>5163162As dark as it is inside this room, the odds of something sneaking up on you, or more importantly someone else are incredibly high. So you raise your right arm, and point your pointer finger at the club-wielding, would-be assassin.
“Get out.” you say, firing your Death Beam directly between his eyes. The warrior tries evading your attack, leaping aside to his right, but your beam is far too fast. Instead of piercing the powerful warrior between the eyes, your beam pierces straight through the skull face's left eye.
“Gyaaa!” the now-obviously male specter cries out, quickly dissolving into glowing motes of red light that vanish in seconds. Once your beam ends you look around, searching for Chilli because he's the one you have to protect, and see he's already moved to the portal. He's standing atop the dark portal, right hand on his staff and his left holding onto his ancient tome. Towa is standing in front of him, wielding Godsend defensively in front of her and scanning the room. And in your moment of observation, peering at the darkness as equally as long as the half-dozen or so fights going on in the room, you realize she can somehow see in this darkness. Excellent, she'll keep a good eye over him.
“Now, who's next?” you mutter, looking over the room. You see Caulifla fighting another of these Darkwraiths as she calls them, wielding a bow of lightning and firing lightning arrow after lightning arrow at someone wielding a sword wreathed in lightning. Caulifla's shots are each caught by her assailant's blade, you wondering why your daughter's opponent is wielding a two-handed weapon in only one hand? But you can't question that for long, as suddenly a sharp, stinging pain explodes in the back of your left knee. “GYAAH?!”
Your leg immediately buckles, your weight dropping down onto your left knee. Before you can turn around to confront your attacker, that same pain suddenly blooms in the lower right side of your back, and again in your left shoulder.
“Die.” a woman's voice suddenly whispers in your ear, reaching up and grabbing onto your chin with her left arm. Immediately you realize what's about to happen, and focusing your power let your power explode.
“HRRAAAAAA!!!” you bellow, ki exploding out from you and blasting the would-be assassin away. You look over your shoulder and gather ki into your fingertips, and fire off a Death Slash into the darkness the way she flew. You watch as your emerald blade cuts through the darkness, then slams into another crimson shadow. Your blade bisects the woman, her body falling into two separate rapidly dissolving pieces as your attack slams into the solid stone wall.
