Seeing that Elena was perfectly fine even when they were using their combination attacks, both of the ladies decided to change tactics at the same time. Instead of three, Orian started to use six chains suddenly and Mikata disengaged from Elena. Then she closed her eyes and held her sword in an iai stance. A bright white light started to gather on her sword.
From that, it was clear that Mikata was preparing some kind of finishing attack and during the charging of this attack, she was completely defenseless. But Orian had already moved to her side in order to protect her, so disrupting this charging process was not going to be easy.
This made Elena interested and she started to try out some tactics that could disrupt Mikata. She was not hoping that one of these tactics could work but actually Elena wanted to see what kind of countermeasures Orian had to protect Mikata.
