[color=#736AFF][b]"This reward of Ramuh's had best be worth it!"[/b][/color] Izayoi snarled as she leapt between Thundagas, any residual sparks harmlessly dissipating across the NulShock that Miina had so helpfully given the group. [color=#736AFF][b]"Why would a trial be necessary when we are Cid's [i]only choice[/i]?!"[/b][/color] She groused, making sure to yell loudly enough above the din of battle that Ramuh could hear her. 

Nevertheless, she followed Esben's command, moving to support Rudolf. Izayoi had to admit it: Esben was her superior in battlefield tactics. While she had a head for grand strategy and troop movements, most of her own movements in the field had been to maneuver herself into as large of a concentration of enemies as possible before slaughtering them, leaving the remainder of the front to her subordinates. So she'd didn't mind listening to the Skaelan, considering he'd proven competent at matters thus far. 

As Adrammelech roared in frustration watching the gnat before him [i]not fall[/i] even as it roasted him, Galahad's halberd crashed down into his wing joint before Chisato's heat blade slammed into its side. One shot from Eliane's barrage caught the Wroth straight in the eye, causing the lesser Eidolon to howl and writhe even as it conjured up another Thundaga to bring down around himself with Rudolf in the epicenter, hoping to catch several of the Kirins with him. 

Just then, Izayoi leapt up into the air, catching the falling thunderbolt on her blade and redirecting it downwards into a falling slash right back towards the levin's original caster.

[color=#736AFF][b]"Raijingeki!"[/b][/color] She bellowed, dropping down and carving a gash straight through Adrammelech's metallic chest, leaving a clear opening to exploit. Ramuh's attendant howled further, but seemed to finally focus his rage, reaching up to grab Galahad off of his shoulder and hurl him straight into Izayoi, the halberd ripping out of the Eidolon's wing in the process. As both of them tumbled back, Adrammelech disappeared in a flash of lightning, reappearing directly above Miina with a baleful glare in his eyes. Unable to sustain flight thanks to the wound Galahad dealt, the summoned spirit proceeded to drop down from the air directly towards Miina, aiming to pin the Mystrel beneath its clawed feet. 

Even as the beast hurtled down from the sky, he raised both index fingers, one aimed for Selene, the other for Eos. Individual bolts of lightning shot out from the tips of his claws, clearly trying to take the fairies out of the fight before they could cause yet more annoyances for himself.

As the battle raged on, Ramuh observed from the skies, stroking his beard in contemplation. 

[h3][i]"Yes...good. But thou needth more. Show us that thine hast yet the strength to persevere, warriors!"[/i][/h3]
