Emiri held her sword at the ready, watching the Zaghnal's charge. Holding out her free hand, she intended to cast a Haste spell. Once again, however, it failed. She blinked in surprise, though a Protect spell erupted over her, courtesy of Nadeline, and it blocked its attack. Without any time to think, however, Emiri spun around, gathering momentum, and as she neared the monster once more she sent her blade into it. It howled as she dragged her sword through it, and with a might pull she slashed through it, and it landed in two halves. Emiri wiped her hair off her forehead, looking at her sword. That strike should have been a clean cut. She must have used up too much energy, otherwise her Haste would have activated and her strike would have been executed perfectly. She sheathed her sword, turning to the group. "[b][color=f6989d]Well, I think with this group the next Esper should be a breeze.[/color][/b]" She stated, placing both hands on her hips. Nadeline raised an eyebrow at her, though she sheathed her weapon as well. Once again, she acted in a way that would have gotten her killed: she was lucky that she had cast that Protect spell beforehand. "[b][color=fdc68a]Your confidence is going to get you killed.[/color][/b]" Nadeline stated, crossing her arms. "[b][color=fdc68a]Honestly, what was that back there?[/color][/b]" [i]I don't know.[/i] Emiri wanted to say, but they were already halfway there. She feigned a smile, winking at Nadeline. "[b][color=f6989d]As long as we fight together, I will be fine. Let's get going![/color][/b]" She turned on her heel and began walking to Ozmone Plain.
