Arc 3, Chapter 22: Struck with Rage

Shadows coalesced part of her legs as a soldier caught her neck in a tight hold. The shadows went over her knees before she herself dropped, right next to the elf.

The soldiers threw two needles away, attempting to arm themselves with the muskets slung around their shoulders.

She saw two bodies fell and that was it. Tears barely left her eyes, the adrenaline took over quicker as "Aegis-Aura," a weak voice threw up a spell on the blonde. Her blade unsheathed like there was no sheath at all.

Sparking like lightning, the armite blade to her side, Jotou sprinted forward to her fallen friends. "SHTCUK!" before the gun could trigger, the blade was already on the other side of one neck, cauterizing the blood that splattered.

The other gun aimed, "SLICK!" the blade, spun like it had no weight at all, slicing across the woman's face in one swish of the blonde's stride; the corpses fell to the ground.
