Chapter 588: Thrust, Punch, Rim

Form a wall!” Mimi commanded her handful of soldiers. They put up their shields and formed an arch around her.

“Die, traitors!!” palace guards charged at the wall in several lines. The first line thrust their spears into the gaps in the shield wall.

“GHUAKH!!” the palace guards in the second line screamed out when several of them felt cold steel in their backs.

“WHAT!?” the first line of palace guards froze up in confusion when they saw half of their spears disappear into a small, shining circular gateway. They looked behind them and saw that they ended up inadvertently striking their own comrades.

“Painful sweat!” Mimi cried out and swung her arm. She collected the sweat off the palace guards faces and pushed it all into their eyes.

“Ahck!” the guards screamed and cursed in annoyance from eh burning sensation in their eyes and tried to rub the sweat out.

“NOW!!” Mimi commanded and counterattacked together with her Purple Capes, cutting down half a dozen palace guards.

“What kind of magic is that!?” the other palace guards hesitated to attack.

“It’s that cowardly bastard!” Asuna charged at Gamesh with two squads of her men.

Gamesh didn’t reply and just created a bigger shining gateway in front of him.

“That cheap trick won’t work on my Bloodoath!” Asuna screamed and thrust right into the gateway.

“Ugh...” Dhisana groaned and rubbed her head after hitting it against a stone block in her fall.

“Why didn’t you use your powers!?” Neri asked.

“Oh, right,” Dhisana said as if she remembered something obvious. She staggered to her feet and then hit her fists against one another. Once, twice...

Flavna punched clean through the latest of Neri’s water barriers and landed her fist right under Neri’s boobs.

“GHUH—” the wind was knocked right out of the fragile magician girl. Neri’s barrier only managed to absorb enough of Flavna’s power to prevent broken ribs, and she fell to her knees powerlessly.

“I’ll have to make sure you stay down for a while,” Flavna said, swung back her leg, and suddenly jumped sideways from a fireball that landed right where she stood a moment ago.

“F-Finally,” Neri said, holding her chest, and watched Dhisana chase after Flavna, swinging at her with her flaming fists.

Dhisana’s fists and forearms were engulfed in flame, though it seemed to have no affect on the wielder. No visible burns or signs of pain, nor did the fire ignite her clothes of hair on fire. The same could not be said for Flavna.

Flavna managed to avoid contact with most of Dhisana’s wild swings that sent debris and fire flying in all directions, however, just one forced block was enough to make Flavna groan in pain from a serious burn on her hand. The short contact with Dhisana’s fire made the metal on Flavna’s bracer so hot that she had to pull out her dagger and quickly cut off the leather straps while dodging more attacks.

“Hold-hic-still for a second,” Dhisana asked, though even without that her strikes were getting closer and closer to her opponent just before a giant fire wall shot up right in front of her.

“Ah!?” Dhisana pulled her hand away from the wall of fire after feeling the incinerating heat from hostile fire. This caused her to lose balance and fall ungraciously on her butt. Dhisana’s flaming fist went out while Flavna fell on one knee on the other side of the wall, catching her breath.

“Aw, I was fine with cooking either of you. I guess Samantha was right about that whole chasing two rabbits thing,” Ember said approaching the melee fighters.
