Kuro's head was throbbing, the pain and stress from the battle was catching up to him, he knew the young opponent would be adept, but he wasn't expecting the duel to be this challenging. Kyogi's ability to stay calm and strategise under pressure was shocking to say the least.

The Dragonette met the stolen Helldragoon in the Air and stuck him with a very effective lalnce thrust, doing major damage, but this Dragoon had the wishful princess's added vitality, and was able to grit through the attack and continue his own decent..

Meanwhile Ryuji, had just attacked the Knight again for a further 10% damage with a claw swipe, and darted backwards to evade any counter attack. The Oni's skill was truly terrifying. Kuro was desperate and summoned [b]Jack's Bomb[/b] panicking and not knowing quite who to throw it at.

The Elite Maruader was a skilled swordsman, but the unwieldy nature of two weapons along with the unfriendly terrain of deep snow effected his defense. He was able to get off a jabbing thrust with his rapier to hit Jacques for 6% damage but wasn't able to block the Katanna strike, which wounded him heavily. In his final breath he attempted to aim a flintlock pistol blast at the gambler, but the hasty shot missed, and hit Ryuji The Oni in the face! The bullet cracked the mask of the demon and he fell to one knee, only to be shafted by a hell dragoon's falling impale, which finished the powerful Oni off.

Still holding Jack's Bomb and watching his second Elite Maruader die, he threw the explosive directly at Jacques in rage, hoping to do a large amount of damage but the explosion was blocked partially both by the Dragonette and one of the summoned HellBats which didnt survive the explosion. The Dragonette was wounded but still alive, and Jacques took no damage.

Two large fangs of the second hellbat sunk deep into the knight's shoulder where the armor was weak. The draining bite inflicted 8% damage, The Knight summoned his own Fine Katanna to slash at the Bat which damaged it but didn't kill it, as it was full of fresh blood vitality.

He lastly summoned the Water Siren, which appeared in a small ice lake a couple of from where they were fighting and began to sing. The Dragonette began limping over towards the beautiful song, although she was trying her best to resist. Summoning his 2nd Shadow agent who appeared a few feet behind him, the Knight attempted to create a little distance by back stepping away.
