"I must say. Even without your steed and your equipment, you are still a worthy opponent." Windfell said after gaining some distance and healing the wounds of his host.
"I wish I could say the same about you. Were my host at the Violet and a bit more trustful, this fight would already be over." Dawn said with a thin smile while consuming one prism to regenerate her crystal armor and another for her crystal sword.
The gap in their equipment was so big that it took barely a few exchanges to shatter her own. Nyka's Adamant armor was no match for the Davross scimitar and had suffered so many cuts that it was already useless.
If not for the Vampire's undead body and the Horseman's ability to regenerate her vitals, Nyka would have already died a dozen times over. Dawn used her own light element to fuel Nyka's spells and bloodline abilities but she still needed to consume life force to heal.
At that pace, the Vampire would soon need to feed or Dawn would be forced to escape and abandon their companions.
"That's where you are wrong. This fight is already over." The tip of the blade pointed behind the Horseman who didn't dare to avert her gaze from the opponent.
Had she done it, Dawn would have seen Knightfall stop chasing Tista and Warp near Lith and Solus. Also, Windfell would have cut her body into dozens of pieces before blasting her away with the tier five Spirit Spell he had at the ready.
'From above!' Solus said after noticing the appearance of an exit point.
'And below!' Lith had kept using Life Vision in case Stargazer came back and saw her exit point in time to react.
Lith flapped his wings while Solus used her best flight spell, combining their strength to escape from the pincer attack.
'Why didn't you just breathe any Flames into those?' She asked.
'Because of that!' Solus kept looking forward, allowing Lith's seven eyes to scout the other directions.
Nothing had come out of the exit points which had exploded in unison a split second after appearing. Knightfall had actually Warped near Stargazer and was providing her the nutrients she needed to restore her host.
To make matters worse, they were both standing on the fringes of the mana geyser, feeding off the world energy to replenish their lost power and blocking the enemies' path in a single move.
'How did you know what would happen?' Solus asked as after the explosion two rifts in space opened.
Had they remained there, the distortion caused by the dimensional spells collapsing onto each other would have torn them both to shreds.
'Because Friya.' He replied. 'I've seen her screw up her enemies' Life Vision with tricks like that more times than I can count. Also, if I was a dimensional mage, that's what I would have done.
'Why get close when you can kill a half-dead enemy from a safe distance?'
'You are not half-dead! Don't you dare even joke about that.' Solus felt guilty for dragging Lith into that mess.
She felt like she was the cause of every drop of blood he lost and every wince of pain he experienced.
