Yuki gave a nod and she stayed hidden with Keiji. The both of them would watch as the three readied themselves for battle. 

The barbarian shouts as he runs up to something and swings in a rage. However, it appears he missed if his irritated growl was of any indication. He then grunts as he seems to have been struck. But he managed to dodge another attack. They were...a pair of vines?

The bard smirked and he pointed at the thing ahead and he calls out, "Hey! I [i]suggest[/i] that you travel east and do not stop!" One could see an aura appear around him as he makes this suggestion. At first the creature shines with the same aura, before it shatters. The bard lost his smirk, before he looked to the barbarian and called "Hang in there! You've got this thing on the ropes!"

The bard then looks to the tiefling and he asks "Maybe some good ol' fire can help us out, ey Akuma?" Akuma shook his head and answered "That's a Shambling Mound, you fool! Fire and Ice won't help, and Lightning will only heal it. But there is something else I can do," 

He then pulls out his spellbook and he chants an incantation. With a magic aura appearing around him, daggers suddenly appeared in midair near the creature and started swarming and flying in that space.
