Karuu gave Willow a nod. [color=87ceeb]“Guess that makes it our turn,”[/color] he said to Kira. With nothing more than that, both warriors dashed forward. The electrified goblin remains surrounding them burst into light as they passed, ignored by the fighters intent on crossing the bridge.

As expected, once they stepped foot on it the Goblin Warriors rushed to meet them. The archers prepared to launch a volley, only partly disrupted by an agile lancer descending on their flank. Karuu pushed himself all the harder, hoping to be right up next to the goblins when he started taking those arrows.

The first arrow did little damage. The second did even less. And the first Goblin Warrior to step in front of him felt the full fury of a Decimate. It fell away in a shower of sparks. Another stepped up to try its luck; it fared little better, barely managing to trade a blow before falling to two of the Marauder’s.

Kira would not allow her ultimate rival to get ahead of her. She would not be the one to lose their bet! With speed that absolutely dwarfed the low-level goblins, she took position on Karuu’s right side and began the slaughter. The heat of battle was made all the sweeter from her title, which made her made her feel more alive. Her first opponent was taken down in series of five, decisive strikes. Talrae had made Akumi stronger than ever before, as the one called Ryu was no longer needed. Beautiful emerald eyes shined with a vicious appetite for more. The girl underneath falling prey to the ever growing hunger of the demon that controlled her. 

[color=87ceeb]“Zeke!  Get back there to help Celia with the archers!”[/color] Karuu shouted as he cut his next foe down.  Quieter, but loud enough that Kira would hear, he counted [color=87ceeb]“Four.”[/color]

She gritted her teeth as Karuu’s count was brought to her attention and her grip on her swords became death-like. Driven by their competition, Kira broke off ahead and soon found herself surrounded by three of the goblins. They were too slow and weak compared to the great demon, who granted them the privilege of falling to her blades. Her longsword pierced the first’s chest then ducked underneath the second’s swing, using her katana to slice across its chest. The longsword was removed quickly and its grip was reversed. It was shot backwards piercing the bottom jaw of the goblin behind her while her katana struck the one in front, ending both of their insignificant lives before turning onto the last one. She sidestepped as it attempted in vain to strike her, before she pushed the full length of her katana into the creatures stomach followed by the longsword piercing its neck from. As the goblin’s body shattered, she spoke out [color=a52883]“Five,”[/color] in direct challenge to Karuu.

He glanced at her, then found his next target to bring a Decimate crashing down on.  As the goblin turned to pixelated dust, he gave her a grin.  He didn’t have to say it out loud.  The competition continues.
