Oros’s smile twitched. She had expected, or rather hoped, that Xiangfei was going to follow up "when this is all over" with a [i]very different[/i] set of words. But it was fine. Dominatrix were at their best when they made you wait for it. 

[color=ff6347]"Ah, yes. I can probably get the loser back on their feet."[/color] 

She hadn’t forgotten her plan from earlier, of course. All Oros needed, or had, was time.

It didn’t look great for Mika. While she had managed to cut and strike Terry a few times, the blows he was able to work past her defences were far more devastating. Her [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqpowkXP_Q8]back[/url] had taken two pretty good shots. No wonder he felt like he could go back to his jovial self. He thought he was winning. Which is why it shouldn’t have been any surprise that the magical energy in her fingers rushed backwards into her cape to start repairing the damage.

It was fortunate that all of Terry’s attacks that got through were directed to her mid-section. It would have been harder to heal a lot of spread out damage, but so far her back had taken the brunt of his attacks. The fractures in her spine stitched themselves together, but the bruising hadn’t entirely gone away. Even a centralized attack, when devastating enough, couldn’t be healed away with a single spell. And moreover, Mika was down to nearly half her mana. Once it ran out, it would be harder to keep up pressure on what was already proving to be a dangerous opponent. 

[color=ff6347]"Of course you can attack me from there. Your words assault all who hear them."[/color]

Really though, Mika had been hoping something like this might happen. By saying he couldn’t attack at range, that was exactly what he was going to do. And because Mika’s Magic Sense was still active, there would be no getting blindsided this time. The Red Savior sprinted forward, fully aware of what Terry intended to do while he was doing it. She gracefully charged the power wave head on and hopped in the air before it reached her. With a full summersault, she brought her blades around herself, and the power erupting out of the ground was cleft in half, erupting on either side of the Esper. But Terry was not done yet, and nor was Mika. As the two closed the distance, Mika’s body surged with spirits, and she thrust her knife at her opponent. This wasn’t premature though, a spectral cat leapt off the end of her knife and into her opponent.

At this range, the attack was likely to hit. It wouldn’t really matter. Center mass, a shoulder, the hip, so long as she hit her target, her melody would work. The spectral cat would explode into a cloud of shimmering dust and throw Terry backwards. Maybe this would cause him to fall on his back, maybe not, but this was more than a mere shove. This particular spectral cat had exploded into a toxic cloud, and would have been absorbed through Terry’s clothes and skin. While this poison wouldn’t weaken Terry in any noticeable way, he’d be able to feel it traveling through his veins. And once it incubated, it would do some pretty horrible things depending where he was infected. A normal human would die from such an attack, but someone as tough as Terry could likely survive something designed to cause organ failure in espers. 

It felt like the pendulum might start swinging the other way. Mika was powered up as much as she cared to be. Her increased speed and strength would likely help close out this fight, and now she had potentially poisoned her target. Said toxin wouldn’t do anything until after her other boons ran out, but that might be enough to defeat him. For once in the longest time, Mika allowed herself to smile.

[color=ff6347]"You're becoming predictable. Quit announcing your intent!"[/color]

She continued to rush after her opponent, arms held out to the side. If he fell prone before she got to him she would simply pounce on his chest with both knives. Otherwise, she’d take a swing at one of his arms while he tried to pick himself up. 

All of this while the summoned cat from earlier watched from the top of a van, cleaning its paws.
