As the room lit up with holy light, there was a particular tension in the air as magical fire rained upon the charging Rui and Akane. Kotori casting Salvation was doing it's work as the two were able to keep pushing on despite all the grazes and glancing blows, but as long as they didn't take a direct hit they wouldn't be stopped. 

Eventually the fire spells became immense, shrouding Rui and Akane from vision, but after a few moments, the flames dissipated, and Akane was visible, plunging her sword into the shadow's chest. The shadow shrieked in rage before going to grab Akane, all four arms moving to clasp around Akane, but two shadowy figures and four silver flashes came down from above as the arms were cut, misty blackness spewing from the slashes as both Rui and his Persona Askr landed.

[color=slategray]"Now! Do it!"[/color], Akane leapt off from the shadow as Rui made his order, before Katsuro and Kotori let off a volley of spells, finishing the shadow off in a flashy display of magical power. Within moments the shadow crumpled, it's body breaking away into black mist before it reverted to it's human form.

Shizuka was in rough shape as she slid across the ground, but she wasn't completely out. Considering how much she was struggling to get up, she didn't have much left in her, but fortunately neither did the demon. Another round of magic blasted the Oni, repeated strikes of magic chipped away mirror shards with each strike, before the Garudyne blasted whole chunks of the Oni away in a single hit. Everyone was about to let off another volley of magic, but that didn't seem to be necessary.

The Oni began to simply collapse and shatter into mirror shards, dissipating into a vortex. As that happened, everyone was given glimpses of something... They witnesses what looked like the perspective of a man with his wife, long black hair and a warm expression. Kami seemed to recognize it to some degree... But where...? It was all a bit too unclear like the memory was a corrupted tape.

As soon as that had transpired, the village they stood in began to light up a bit.

[color=yellow][i]"Huh? You beat it and... now this area. How to put it, it's 'safe' now. Shadows that were lurking nearby seem to be simply running away"[/i][/color],

[color=aba000]"I see... I guess this makes for a good forward base. We'll head back, we're done here for now, hopefully Rui's finished on his end too"[/color], and with that, it was agreed they would head back.
