They did no realize what this battle was about. The alliance of races below believed it was for a city, for home, for lives. No, this battle was for Time. A precious commodity, and by battling, and waiting they squandered it.
Cray knowingly waited for this moment. He spread his single wing out and thrusts the feathers forward again, sending dozens of feathers spiraling towards Vesper specifically. As they flew Cray conjured a second wave of fire, forming it into several floating spheres before launching those as well.
Vesper drew his nameless rapier and cut through every feather and spear. The wind created from his motions effectively destroyed each projectile. In return he thrust the weapon forward, sending lighting from his arm through the weapon and towards Cray.
The flameweaver cut through the bolt of energy with Atra. "There is nothing I cannot sever," Cray growled and moved forward, with his right arm conjuring heat again and slamming it towards the General of the Sky as a stream of golden flame. The flames engulfed its target as well as several wyvern that had gotten too close.
The flames exploded as Vesper threw out his arms and sent the flames in every direction with his wind. By that time Cray had leapt into the air and swung down towards Vesper's head. His rapier came up and caught the larger weapon with ease. The conflict of metal brought Cray and Vesper face to face for the first time since Roid.
"For all of your crimes." Cray pushed his weight towards Vesper and struck with his right hand. The tightened fist slammed into Vesper's stomach, the first direct blow to the General's body. A look of shock erupted over his face. "Know that the weight of my fist, is the weight of your Sins."
Knight of Lodoss wrote:"DEED!!" He called out, his body gaining renewed vigor and strength. Any pain he felt was gone, replaced with the thoughts of saving Deedlit. Parn was gaining an adrenaline rush, giving him strength enough to throw Faiza off of him, then bringing his sword down. Not waiting to see if that had done the job, he rushed to Deedlit's side, practically daring those Yoroi to come.
Heaven Savior bit into Faiza's left shoulder to the right of the joint. He stood slowly from his kneeling position. And watched Parn flee after wounding himself from Faiza's blow. The leader stood and motioned for the free soldiers to kill off whatever they were engaged with and move towards the center of the city.
Deedlit wrote:Deedlit called upon her spirit and a cyclone formed from the clouds above and touched down in the street. It sucked in wyverns and tore down the road, sucking up Yoroi as it came. Inside, the enemy was pummeled with stones and their own bodies. Deedlit and Aruku both held tight control on the cyclone. Once it made it to the front lines, they would have to stop it too keep from sucking up their own troops, but for now, it was doing a good job of cutting through the enemy.
The twister did indeed do its job, lifting off bodies and living off the ground. The weight and speed of the Yoroi race allowed half the numbers caught to latch onto ground or wall with their claws of break free. The rest were caught up in the storm of flying rock.
The remaining Yoroi, lead by Faiza began a march…
Little Knight wrote:"Hey bucket heads! You know what? YOU HAVE NO BALLS!!" He yelled, cupping his hands around his mouth.
It made no matter. For the time being the airborne elf was out of their way. The Yoroi that had been targeting Azala and a few others that had moved in turned their attention away and moved onto their principle target…

Smiling, Thangroth growled ferally and charged forward thrusting all his weight into barreling into the yoroi's bad knee, while swinging his axe up going for the creature's other wound under it's armpit.
In an unexpected move the Yoroi hopped into the air, something a heavily armored being usually could not perform. The beast arced over Thangroth and landed with a grunt on his wounded limbs before moving forward attempting to catch the dwarf from behind.
Granite Stoneheart wrote:The backhand caught the side of Granite's face, but her sturdy dwarven frame probably saved her from a broken neck. The dwarven woman tumbled backwards and bounced over the tail. Granite came to a stop against a body of a dead priest of Myrii. She was seeing double and was too dazed to get up. She watched two versions of a half-armed and limping Yoroi bring it's attention to her.
The Yoroi limped towards the fallen Granite. His tail wiggled behind him the tip hanging over the shoulder of his wounded arm, waiting to get close enough to strike.
Sevrina wrote:Zatch wrote:If Kai had even a split second longer to react he may have been able to jump over the Yoroi's tail. Instead his legs were swept from under him and for a moment he completely lost track of which way was up. His armored body landed hard on the ground with a metallic thud as the air was forced out of his lungs. Fortunately his torso absorbed most of the shock and spared him from a serious head injury.
Kai found himself on his back with the Gilgamesh just beyond his reach. Knowing he would have little time to react the knight pulled a large kukri from his belt and taking advantage of his position he thrust the arched knife into his opponent's knee.
Sevrina's torso was jerked back and her hands slipped off her daggers, but she clung to the Yoroi with her knees like she would a wild horse. As it came around for the spin, she leaned forward, snatching a pair of smaller daggers from her boot tops and jammed them under both the Yoroi's arms. It tried to swipe her off with it's tail, but she laid too close to it's body for it to touch her.
A scream erupted from the Yoroi's lungs as the daggers and kukri found its way into his flesh. The Yoroi crouched and leapt into the air, aiming himself for the nearest building, attempting to smash Sevrina on his back against it.
nmnmrm wrote:Fasz saw the Yoroi's hand heading towards him, the strong attack he executed on the Yoroi's shoulder had left him undefended. Failing to dodge the counterattack, Fasz saw how the beast's hand didn't penetrate his digestive system; not leaving a deadly wound. Luckily, he evaded a fatal attack, but the Yoroi's hand made a huge cut that almost reached his back. Going almost insane, Fasz shifted his sword from one hand to another as he moved fast around the Yoroi. Using his right hand to keep balance, he struck with his sword towards the Yoroi's throat.
The beast lowered his stand and moved forward. With his arm mostly useless he used his jaws to catch the blade. The tips dug into the metal and held it still, his neck jerked about to try and free it from Fasz's grip.
