A fatal mistake (Part three)

"Your business is with me, so would you mind letting them go?" But before anything, Alisa tried to reason.

"What the hell are you saying?" 

I was finally going to fully focus on the emperor again but Alisa was saying weird stuff. 

The emperor poised his sword at me. "UNFORTUNATELY, I CANNOT PERMIT THEM TO LIVE AFTER WITNESSING THIS FORM."

"Sounds kind of cliché." I took a stance. I was out of options. 

I could use magic but that wouldn't be effective and so far, I couldn't hit him properly, unless I took hits. Even if I took hits and hit him, there was no guarantee it'd be enough. 

And with all the stones dry, my physical capabilities weren't quite what they were even minutes ago. Just Imbuition wasn't going to be enough. 

That's when- "Then we'll just have to defeat you right here, right now." Alisa gave me some of her mana and a pale blue aura covered me. 

Well, at least I had her backing.
