Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cirus hadn't counted on Bjorn's spell resistance, the combined might of his armour and demonic heritage gave him total immunity to magic attacks, the key to defeating this monster of a man would have to be through raw brute strength. Totally unaffected by the Thunder Blade spell, Bjorn ran right through the spell effects and spear tackled right into Cirus, laughing like a lunatic as he swung the morning star down upon him as he started to swirl and spin the flail. "Die! Die! Die!"

Ryuuka's magical attack was in vein, the Balor's spell resistance had saved him from the magic attack. Clearly he was being underestimated, a high lord of the Abyss was being taken for some lower class devil from the Nine Hells, this was a joke. The human wasn't worth his time. When the light cleared, the demon grinned as it brought it's massive foot into his chest, kicking him away as he continued to wait for Chigusa to complete the ritual. Once again, this would have to rely on either powerful magic weaponry, weapons with anti-demon capabilities or just raw brute strength...though a combination of the three was always good.

Above from Tatsumi, a small glob of green goo dripped down, just narrowly missing his shoulder. If he were to look up, he would see the large Bebilith hanging from a tree. As soon as he laid eyes upon the creature, it would drop down screeching, raising one of its clawed forelegs and bringing it down at Tatsumi, in an attempt to impale him in the chest.

"b*****d Construct!" The Vrock managed to barely utter out as it was grabbed and grappled into some form of stranglehold. As the construct flew upwards, this more annoyed the Vrock then actually scared it...to a demon there was no such thing as fear. The only option was to cause as much damage as possible. With its tough beak, it began to peck and bite at Chachamaru's head. As the slam was made into the ground, there was a loud crack and then the sound of a vulture screeching. The Vrock, barely managing to stand once again lunged itself at the construct.

"Baby? Thats quite the statement coming from an orc who has muscle for brains." The Babau chuckled as it reared away from the massive negative energy blade...that wasn't something to be reckoned with. The demon was smarter then this and even a warped mind could see the odds stacked against it. "The Mistress would rather me be...alive. You win this round wretched undead thing..." The Babau then made its retreat, disappearing into a small pocket portal and back into the Abyss.

((Those are perfectly fine Urd-san. =3 ))

The Elder had kept within the back ranks for now, no longer like his younger, reckless self who once prefered charging in somewhat recklessley. He was chanting a spell, performing a long array of symantics and saying a chant while he attempted to summon a powerful spell. He saw Konoka and Chigusa, and also noticed just how theis battle was nearly even, mostly due to those demons of hers. They needed to be destroyed; their presance was far too dangerous. He said he would be here to back the others up with any healing, but so far, their were minimal injuries that needed to be tended to, so he took the offensive.

Whatever spell he was preparing though, it must have been big, because for nearly half a minute, he was chanting, focusing on this spell do vanquish all of the demons in one swift torrent. Chigusa would have been able to identify this holy spell though, knowing that the Elder was preparing a massive spell filled with holy energy that would do quite a number against her demons.

'It's time like this I need to ask myself a question more than once, but... -why- did I come with them again??' She was glad that Regan had told her the news so she wasn't left in the dark about this whole kidnapping incident, but aside from getting Chachamaru and Xenon here, she didn't really have any use here. Even Kazumi was more useful than she was at this point since she had that pactio. She was more bold and had more nerve then she ever could have, even in something as simple as a kiss...

But maybe... she could use this to her advantage. None of the demons were after her, no one even seemed to notice the small scientist as she kept herself a small distance from the battle, closer to Kazumi where it was safer. After all, she didn't dare get into the fray and risk getting harmed by Cassandra's skelatons, Mana's gunplay, a demon's bane, or anything else of the sort. If only she came prepared for this, she would have been able to make the perfect invention. Instead, she saw her opening. The front of the alter, where that woman was doing the ritual and Konoka lied; their was a pretty decent, clear path for her. She just had to run up there and hope that all of the enemies remained as distracted as they were now. Looking back, for just a moment, she casted any regrets she would have had aside, and bolted down to the alter, running as fast as her little legs could carry her as she dashed towards Chigusa.

s**t! This one, too!? Cirus growls as he's tackled, his cap falling from his head to reveal his two fox ears. Damn, now he's been revealed... maybe no one would notice. He quickly knocks the hand holding the morning star off course of its blow and moves his head to clear the strike before seeing the flail being spun over him. This was a bad situation. Dust and the small specks of rock from around him in about a 10 foot radius disappear suddenly, being converted from matter to energy as he then focuses it into his hand, on one side to shield it. It thrusts up, then, to catch the spiked head of the flail and catch it. That sorta stung... not quite enough energy to keep it from hitting his hand, but it'd do. The Ki he had absorbed from Tsukuyomi's earlier attack helped.

That's when he spots Grundy, sailing into the air. In his head, he quickly calculate trajectory and speed... oh, s**t. He bashes the head of the flail against Bjorn's head a few times, trying to weaken him up with pain before bringing his other arm, the one that had deflected the morning star, across and then shoving him off. He would then scramble to his feet and make clear Grundy's landing zone, not a moment to spare. On his way out, he grabs and replaces his cap on his head.

Ah! The Elder's here! Wait... it's that girl with the lab coat, now, running for the alter, she's not alone, at least. With the meager amount of energy he, himself, can produce, the demon starts to heal the wounds his hand sustained. It was similar to how Regan uses Ki to heal over wounds.

Speaking of Regan, the field of Ki she keeps around herself during combat picks up the girl suddenly appearing behind her. Why can all her opponents do that?! She growls and quickly moves to the side, out of the way of the strike, brining one sword into a defensive position while she uses her pact sword to strike back against her.

Negi approaches the altar at high speeds, having used the speed amplification spell (used in manga 6) to increase the rate of his approach. He approaches from high, seeing Chachamaru occupied with some sort of... bird? Wait, whoa! There's a lot going on down there!

"Aniki! Eyes front, don't get distracted! We gotta get Konoka-ane-san!" Chamo redirects Negi's attention to grabbing Konoka, pointing forwards to reinforce his point.

"Ah, right!" Negi goes to swoop in, his eyes locked on Konoka's prone form on the altar, determination in his eyes. "Rastel Maskil Magister. Undecim spiritus aerials, vinculum facti iimicum captent. Sagitta magica, aer capturae!" As he nears the site of the alter, Negi casts the spell in an attempt to hold Chigusa down while he swoops in and grabs Konoka before flying away again. Hit 'n run!

"Look out for the big guy, Aniki!" Chamo warns before getting up on Negi's head, out of his eyesight so it wouldn't affect him. He pulls out the wick and lighter before putting them together and creating a bright spot of light, blinding those looking at them. "Ermine FLASH!"

No one seemed to understand that Bjorn felt no pain whatsoever, bash and smash him as much as you want he wouldn't go down, even if he looked like he had seen better days. Licking a small bead of blood that trickled down from his head, he lunged at Cirus again, bringing him to the ground again. He let out a laugh, smashing the Morning Star repeatedly into his head while slamming the handle of the flail into his chest. Each wound inflicted, absorbed into Bjorn and healed his wounds. "Thy feed on pain!"

As Cassandra approched, it saw that the child had taken the child, it would deal with the vampire and orc later. The Balor flapped its wings and took of after Negi, the light was nothing, it was near impossible to destroy a Balor without extremely powerful means at someones disposal. Letting the full extend of his flame whip lash out, he whipped Negi across the back, letting out a laugh as he pursued.

Chigusa was immobilized, she was blinded and out of his fight. She just dropped to the ground and closed her eyes, waiting for it to be all over.

Thankfully Chachamaru was not equipped with a nervous system, because it was likely that the attacks of the demon would have severely injured if not killed any normal human, with an incredible amount of pain. She heard the loud crack and had hoped that it would be enough to remove the creature as a threat. It was not to be so as it lunged at her. Just as the creature lunged at her, Chachamaru received the instructions from Satomi. "Hai, Satomi Hakase-san," she replies to the orders and takes position to follow her directions as specified. Taking hold of the creature as it charges at her, she follows the instructions to the best of her ability and the best the situation would allow. Chachamaru hoped everything went according to the way it was planned out by Satomi. She watched as she threw the demon with all her might, with the specifications given.

Tsukuyomi took a breath as she watched the damaged sword be put away. She grinned as she caught a second breath before the following attacks came. She only had the large magic sword left as she was using it as offensive attacks. Tsukuyomi saw the triple cut that had hit her the last time as she focused her eyes in a sharp fashion. As the first blade approached she steeped to the side before she saw the angled one coming at her behind it was the last of the attacks as she gauged the movement as to eradict to block in any good form. She was enjoying her fight as she looked down at the wooden planks making up the walk way as she ducked the second blade and as the third blade came at her she put both swords in a matching pattern as she braced for the impact which came and slid her back along the wood. Her hands were smoking a bit as she shook it off "you have a lot of energy" she said smiling. "Must be from training with those weights" she said pointing toward Regan's chest as she grinned.

"Hmph." Regan smirks at Tsukuyomi's remarks, seeing her block the third strike. "Bigger'n yours." She sticks her tongue out playfully, ready for whatever else the shimeiryu girl might try. She watches her closely, also wondering what Cirus might try now that the creature he was fighting before seems to be otherwise engaged.

Cirus sees the other two coming in to take Bjorn and he jumps back, clearing the path before he kicks on... a pair of jet boots! A blue plasma flame comes from under his feet, lifting him into the air, a whirring coming from his back now, under his cloak. He looks around and spots the demon going after Negi. Son of a b***h. The demon sighs and shakes his head before taking off at full speed to help Negi out with the Balor demon. When he gets closer, he gathers up energy from the generator on his back, slowing his speed down a bit for a moment before unleashing it toward the Balor demon as force, hoping to at least distract it so Negi can better escape. Would the demon be distracted long enough, though?

Right. Turn around. Negi sighs softly and pulls up a bit, gaining some altitude before diving and doing a U-turn, turning over as he descends to remain upright. He uses the pull of gravity to help him get going faster as he then aims to return to Cassandra and hand her Konoka. She could probably safeguard her better, anyway, right?

"Ahh! Aniki, where are you going?!" Chamo hangs on tight to his shoulder as he makes the turn around, holding for dear life. He looks ahead and sees Cassandra... He's actually going to trust her?! Well.. he supposes it's for the best. After all, she would more likely be able to handle that monster behind them.

Tsukuyomi was looking at her as her insult didn't matter to her since this girl obviously had been born to have that kind of chest in the first place. She smirked as she was about to start the next attack when she noticed that Kenneth was stopped and the demons had vanished. She glanced around to see Chigusa on the ground as she shook her head "I guess that means its over" she said as she slid her swords into their sheaths. She glanced around again seeing that her employer and co-worker were down "well I guess I should be going" she said as she smiled and looked at Regan as she bowed "take care~" she said as she vanished while moving away.
