Raiya saw the hammer and immediately blinked upwards, the hammer flying harmlessly under her. It wasn't until Raiya continued to watch the trajectory of the hammer that she realized the hammer's true target was Travis and Zuri. Raiya gasped, the hammer would cause an immense amount of damage even if it missed and hit near them. Raiya had to act fast; she dropped her sword into her inventory in an instant, and blinked right in front of Travis and Zuri as the hammer drew very close to slamming into the group. [color=ec008c]"IZANAMI NO HOGO!"[/color] Raiya shouted as she ejected her hand forward, she pumped twice the amount of mana into the spell than before, creating a stronger version of the runic circle shield. [color=ec008c][i]It's not enough![/i][/color] Raiya thought as she exerted herself, the hammer stopping at the shield. It was dissipating much slower than the other spells she stopped before, the shredding effect of her shield was not efficient at dealing with manaegis.
	
	Manaegis was a solid dense form of spell, having physical properties while being made entirely from raw mana. The density was too great for Izanami no Hogo to shred through without expending an immense amount of mana that Raiya couldn't afford to expend. She grunted under the force of the hammer being pushed upon her spell, her feet slid back on the stony ground as she was pushed back. [color=ec008c][i]I've got to do something fast before I burn up most of my remaining mana[/i][/color] Raiya's mind raced. She had a risky idea but it would take some finesse. Raiya dropped her Izanami no Hogo, and instantly the hammer resumed its initial trajectory. Raiya would surely be struck point blank if she didn't react within that second, immediately she flicked her wrists opening up a large portal in front of her which swallowed the hammer. She didn't have time to think too hard about where to place the other side of the portal which ended up being created above them faced upwards. The hammer smashed into the ceiling raining chunks of debris upon them. Raiya activated a white physical dome barrier around the group, which held up against the raining chunks of rock. After about 15 seconds the rocky precipitation ceased allowing Raiya to drop her barrier.

	Raiya turned back to the other two, [color=ec008c]"Sorry about that, I didn't have enough time to think about where I would put the hammer after I opened the portal."[/color] Raiya felt her mana quickly falling below the halfway point, [color=ec008c]"I hope you guys have come up with some sort of plan, because I don't have much more time left in this fight. This bastard is tougher than I thought."[/color] With those last words, she turned back to engage her enemy once more. 

	[color=ec008c]"Enough is enough, I am going to show you why they call me the Dragon of the Yakuza."[/color] Raiya planted her feat squarely on the ground and crouched into a stance, her face stern and convicted. She began to channel her mana into her right arm, her white aura filled the flame colored tattoo of her right arm. She held out her right hand in front of her and exclaimed, [color=ec008c]"Yamata no Orochi ittō! (The first head of Yamata no Orochi)"[/color] Immediately after she released the spell, an immensely hot flame in the shape of a massive sleek snake burst forth from her arm. It was slightly larger in width than Raiya's body and was about fourty feet long. Its trajectory was hard to read as it weaved its way through the air but it was becoming increasingly clear that Raiya was controlling its movements through the air. There was no dodging away from this spell, and the flames were hot enough to melt through reinforced steel. Even as it passed over the rock below it, it melted a path, leaving a molten trail as it found its way to its target. It was moving fast and coming straight at Stockton at about twenty feet per second. Even if he dodged, Raiya could change the path of the spell in a moment's notice.
