[color=magenta]"I've finished my scan. That incense pot's scent is seeping into the cavern. Ayano told me there's something interfering with her visuals, that must be it"[/color], as Rui charged forward listening, Kotori and Sato's coverage with their more powerful spells keeping their backs safe, and Akane going for the first hit before the knight could properly raise its weapon, he stopped short of Akane and circled around as he thought of his next move.

So this pot was interfering with the other group... Okay. As soon as he took a step toward it, from behind the pot came a small swarm of the little shadows, forcing him to ward them off, and then clear them with a Gale Slash. While that was happening, Akane's attack was being repaid in kind as the knight retaliated with a Fatal End. The blow was too slow to be a clean hit, after being backed down from the Kill Rush, but it was enough to tell Akane that the knight boasted some serious physical prowess.

[color=slategray]"We're going to move our formation. Kotori, Sato, move to surround, fire at will"[/color], he ordered. The shadows they were clearing were thinning, and beginning to concentrate around the pot, especially after Rui took a step towards it, almost as if they were protecting it. Strangely enough the knight was uncaring of it, and almost just happened to be here. Still, it seemed to be capable of slaying one or two of them if they weren't careful.

Now came the next bit... Aim the pot first, or the knight?

As Ryan's Gale Slash echoed through the cavern, there was only one resounding clang as it landed... It only struck the knight. It seems even as Shadows, ghosts cannot be hit by physical attacks. Upon seeing this, Kami cast a Mazio, which lit the whole cavern up, while clearing away some of the ghosts.

[color=aba000]"I see, so only magic will work on them... I'll hold them off, the rest of you focus on the knight"[/color], he ordered.

The knight was not one to wait it seems, it's gleaming silver blade was already upon them as it charged the party's front line, a wide slash coming for both Kami and Mako. Without navigation support for now, they would have to rely on what they saw to overcome the knight.
