"But ..."

She hesitated. Emotions seemed to war with one another across her pale face. There had been a complicated note to her tone, but it was clear that she was incredibly worried for Ryoma. Yet at the same time, she could see his resolve. She could see the changes that were occurring in him. She didn't know what was going on, or what this strange power he had gotten was. She didn't even know if it really was a power or if everything was a hallucination! It could've been, but it wasn't. Because the reality was that there were tables advancing on them, and the only way out was for Ryoma to fight.

Except the other choice ...

Her eyes suddenly seemed to sharpen.

Ai nodded firmly.

"You c-can do it, okay? That's another promise!"

She would place her trust in him once again.

The second of the tables was annihilated, its frame torn to shreds by Anubis' powers, leaving not even the slightest pieces of a corpse behind. Those clouds of black and red were greatly effective against the monsters, but the armoured, icy figure beyond them did not seem bothered at all by its minions' destruction or the effectiveness of Ryoma's attacks.

It simply gestured once again, and the final table monster leapt forward with a shriek, seeking to succeed where its compatriots had failed.
