Damian heard Zero, but was already moving as a Blade Shield formed in front of the Dragon Slayer and Damian dodged hard to the right, catching the edge of a scale and using his momentum to send himself back at the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAtjdegG0NY]flying wizard.[/url] As he hurtled through the air, he switched to Hermes Blades, sharpening their edges. [color=FireBrick][i]The burden of a soldier,[/i][/color] he started the rotations, already the spell forming around him as he moved towards the winged Rune Knight,[color=FireBrick][i]is that sometimes to protect a life,[/i][/color] the scythe blades spun as he did, the distance rapidly closing between him and the winged mage, [color=FireBrick][i]he has to take another.[/i][/color] The winged mage saw the approaching S-Class Mage just in time and dodged the actual spell, using another light barrier to deflect most of it, but Damian's left hand shot out, catching the man's chin.

Damian flipped up and onto his shoulders, he right hand holding the Hermes Blade. [color=FireBrick][i]Forgive me, Penny.[/i][/color] The steel flashed and the wings went slack as the body started to fall, the blade buried in his chest. Pushing off the falling body, the blade slid free easily to release a flow of blood, he summons a Striker Blade and sits in the air a moment, muttering something under his breath before he faces the two mages in control. [color=FireBrick]"This ends now! With the only lives coming to an end,"[/color] he points the bloodied blade at the pair, his azure eyes flashing in the light, [color=FireBrick]"being yours."[/color] The second blade appearing, he dove, the two weapons a flash of steel in the light.

As he closed, Hemlock shot more breath attacks at him, but his smaller size and greater mobility helped him a lot in dodging. He knew he didn't stand a chance against the dragon but the two wizards he was sure he could handle. The first had a scythe and met Damian head on, their weapons clashing and the force knocked Damian onto equal footing with the man. Spinning his blades, he rushes in again, clashing with the scythe wielder again and again, sparks flying from their weapons. Damian moved in rhythm with an unheard beat, each time one sword was deflected, the other spun and came in again and again. Though his magic entailed more than simple sword fighting, instincts forged long before he was a wizard drove him, helped him find openings in his opponent's guard, even as his opponent launched spells at him, he countered and dodged on these instincts.

After dodging one spell, he launched another Piercing Blade, this one clipping the scythe wielder's shoulder and making his attack stumble. Damian took advantage of it, spinning his right hand blade into a reverse grip, he sliced upwards, cutting the staff in two. Spinning his body with the attack and using the momentum, he slammed both blades into the wizard's gut. [color=FireBrick]"You had your chance to surrender. I'm sorry it ended this way."[/color] Pulling both blades free, he faces the second of the controlling pair as he stares at the falling body of his companion, his sword frozen in his hand. [color=FireBrick]"Two of your friends are dead. I don't wish to end your life, but do not think for a moment I won't. Surrender. NOW."[/color]
