With Yuki...
"
Xoxi, I'm not taking that chance. We're heading back to my place for you to rest. We'll come up with a better plan, and we'll fight her together."
...She felt that something was off. The winds became violent, unreasonably so. It was as if There was another force trying to force control over it. Unfortunately, if there was another force trying to hijack the winds, it would succeed. It only took a moment of distraction, and the sudden appearance of the bandits and Ixox provided just that. The winds were forced under another's control, and both she and Xoxi were carried to a destination not of their own choosing.
For a moment, Yuki was separated from Xoxi, who would have probably arrived somewhere in the near area. The next thing Yuki knew, she received a wound from a hit that sent her flying a small distance away. She landed harshly on the ground. She looked at her wound and froze out of shock. She was hit by an attack that could wound and possibly kill a goddess. She was too focused on the wound to realize that she was naked.
With Claire and Yukiko(?)...
Claire didn't know what just happened, so she just stood where she was. She was unsure of what to do. What if Yukiko was just pretending in an attempt to get Claire to come close enough for a fatal attack? Should she take the chance to check? She didn't know.
With the bandits...
The Duskician followed through with the request of their temporary ally. Normally, he'd need to first tag his target with a tracking spell, but the current circumstances were different. With someone who was essentially the same person as their target, it made things easier to travel, as all he'd need was to was mix a tracking spell with a teleportation spell. Both of them may have been someone complicated spells to perform and mix, but it wasn't anything different from what he had done before.
It took a moment, but he had done what was asked of him, and they teleported straight to where their target was. Unfortunately for them, their target was immediately disappeared the moment after their arrival, leaving only what seemed to be a Mirifakino woman behind. The two Exiles immediately dashed toward her in rage. Having been denied their revenge, they sought to cut the Mirifakino woman a bit to vent. They were immediately blocked.
"
My my. She's such a failure that her own creations would try to kill her? Maybe our decision to become one with her and Claire with her may be more than what she deserves."
