Emily had been turning up the heat on Tonya, the slime, and the monsters raining down upon them. Her brilliant flames were doing well against the spiders, but the magical girl was preventing her from doing any damage to the slime or herself, which was mildly irritating. There was also the fact that the other girl, Mayra, had seemingly shifted to assisting against Tonya despite attacking her, which was definitely confusing. She, of course, didn't let her guard down, but begrudgingly was thankful that they had the extra hand, even if she might need to keep an eye out for a knife in the back. 

Eventually, the slime balloon had descended to the point where the wind magic wasn't doing a great job at defending them from the flames being shot, but that was when it and Tonya went on the offensive! Close quarters combat was simply not Emily's forte, so she had preemptively started backing off, but noticed the flames Tonya was bringing with her, and temporarily halted her retreat. As Tonya came to the ground and blasted she and Alexander with fire, Emily braced herself, placing Purgatory in front of her, as if to defend against a physical blow. The flames headed in Lucifer's direction would all seem to focus on one point: her gauntlet. Nearing it, they would coil around the entirety of her arm until sinking into her body. Purgatory would glow just a a bit brighter when this was done, and Lucifer would be unaffected, at least negatively, by the flames, using the attack as a source of mana. Such was the nature of her special ability. 

However, the attack by the slime still remained, and unfortunately, Emily was not capable of absorbing that. Nor would she want to. She couldn't help but think of how gross that thing must feel, and besides, [s]Crusader is the one with a doujinbait OC[/s] death by suffocation wasn't exactly on her agenda. 

[color=turquoise]"Here comes the heat!"[/color] Thinking quickly, Emily immediately used her hands and feet like boosters, in an attempt to hastily gain distance from the slime's tentacle grapple. The azure flames emitted would also serve to act akin to a flamethrower, hopefully doing some damage as well.

Seeing as her clone had done what she desired of it, Silhouette suppose she couldn't be too upset at the outcome here. It was embarrassing, to be sure, but she hadn't been entirely useless on the 'defending the VIP front' so she could be content. 

That said, being carried around as though she was some helpless princess was definitely not something she wanted to be doing. But what could she do? She was exhausted, and with her mana pool drained, she wasn't going to be in tip-top condition for another fight. Honestly, going home would be the smart decision here, for both of them, but Mika apparently had stakes of some kind in this fight, so it was Sil's obligation to stick around. 

[color=red]"Whatever the plan may be, it needs to happen now."[/color] Sil chimed in, still in Mika's arms. She did her best to ignore this situation in favor of the life-threatening one.
