Akane's counter-assault with Kill Rush seemed to work for awhile, but after a few seconds, the arms on the beast began to glow red hot, and then soon, it became clear that Akane's Persona was merely striking a magical shield. An invisible dome around the shadow became visible as the assault continued. Though Rui was observing this, he used this chance to get behind the shadow and attack with a Mudo skill, a wave of black energy gathered in Askr's hand and was physically thrown at the shadow. It seemed to do something at least, but there was no significant damage. The shadow merely turned around, and smiled right at Rui...

Immediately he jumped far back, and his instinct was right on the mark, Akane's Setanta was suddenly repelled by an array of swords, damaging Akane a little, with the assault off, the shadow immediately looked to a target to attack, and spotted Sato lagging behind in flanking it, his advance was stopped by a hail of swords, a few of which striking him, flinging him back.

[color=slategray]"This is a pain... A repelling shield too..."[/color], though as he said that, he was realizing that the shadow began to smoke steam out of it's back, and the monolithic body hunkered down a little, as if it was tired.

Ayano would with her scanning abilities would pick up that the shield from earlier seemed to cost the shadow a lot of energy, while still able to fight, he was now vulnerable to attack. Rui was starting to pick up on this, but unlike a support, he wouldn't be able to figure all that out immediately.
