Like a rocket, Pegasus surged through the air, closing the distance to Yubelluna faster than a shooting star crosses the night sky.
"Yubelluna, dodge!" I shouted.
Yubelluna curled in on herself, bringing her arms and legs in.
Moments before Pegasus and the mighty steed's rider would have had her she thrust aloof her limbs forward, a spell circle igniting in front of each of them to create a massive explosion.
Yubelluna was blown clear of Pegasus's path, and the knight flew directly through the largest explosion Yubelluna had used yet.
A glint of silver flashed through the dark cloud left by Yubelluna's explosion, extending beyond it to cut open Yubelluna's arm, barely missing her midsection.
Yubelluna hissed in pain, pulling her arm into herself and searing the wound closed with a controlled explosion.
Pegasus tore out of the cloud, providing me with a view of what had caused Yubellunas injury.
The knight astride Pegasus was still wielding the same blade, but the weapon it was affixed to was entirely different.
Before, the handle had been barely large enough for the knight's hand to comfortably grip. Now, the handle was as long as a tree branch.
"Harpe can transform from a sickle to a scythe and back again." I said, informing my peerage of my discovery. "Don't trust that you're out of its range!"
Yubelluna fell back away from the on rushing knight as Kalawarner showered Pegasus's path towards her with light spears, forcing the knight to peel away, her weapon once more transforming into a sickle.
"Boost!"
My eyes snapped back to the camera watching Issei just as his fist tore through Clarissa's avian construct, his form coated in green power that seeped through the gaps in his armor to strengthen him.
Clarissa reached behind her and pulled out the small, yellow oval she'd bent earlier as Issei careened towards her.
She held it between her thumb and forefinger, angling it towards Issei. A jet of green energy exploded out of Issei's back, sending him careening towards Clarissa.
Clarissa stood her ground, gripping the top of the oval and twisting it, creating an 'X' between the two ends.
A spell circle flared to life just before Issei fell upon her and the entire area around her exploded into a maze of yellow vines.
The daisy-colored tendrils snaked around Clarissa's form and latched themselves onto Issei, immobilizing both of them and covering the area for twenty feet around them.
"Yubelluna! Kalawarner! Now!" Clarissa screamed, a spell circle flashing in front of her hand, causing the bands to constrict around herself and Issei.
Yubelluna looked away from her attempts to bomb the knight to the entrapped Red Dragon Emperor.
"Kalawarner, rain light spears! Clarissa, surrender!" Her arms were outstretched, explosive orbs already on the way to their target as she issued her orders.
"I retire!" Clarissa said, following Yubelluna's command. She was engulfed in a blue light that teleported her away from the killzone.
"Riser's bishop re–"
The rest of the announcer's words were drowned out as the entire arena shook from the force of Yubelluna's onslaught.
The Red Dragon Emperor was pinned in Clarissa's unnaturally durable thread, forced to bear the bombardment from on high.
Dozens of light spears soon followed Yubelluna's explosions. The vast majority deflected harmlessly off of Issei's draconic armor, but a scant few slipped through gaps in his defense, causing him to scream in pain as the holy weapons pierced his flesh.
Issei was pummeled by holy light and devastating explosions that destroyed the entire landscape around him, unable to move because of Clarissa's bindings.
"Yaaa!" the knight screamed, having used the break from Yubelluna and Kalawarner's combined ranged onslaught to fly Pegasus up and behind Yubelluna.
Harpe was held high as she flew towards Yubelluna, the blade still in its sickle form.
"Behind you, Yubelluna!" I yelled. "Kalawarner, keep on Issei!" They would never get another chance to trap Issei. They needed to take him out now.
Yubelluna turned around just as the knight swung Harpe down towards her midsection.
Yubelluna stepped into the strike, bringing up an open hand to deflect it over her, a spell circle flaring to life in front of her open hand.
The moment her palm touched the knight's wrist, an explosion fired out of her hand, knocking Harpe from the knight's grasp and causing her to scream in pain.
The knight's next move shocked both Yubelluna and me. She leapt off of Pegasus and wrapped her arm around Yubelluna's throat, pulling a secondary blade, a small dagger, from her belt.
Yubelluna pulled out the dagger Kalawarner gave her at the start of the fight and stabbed back into the knight's stomach just as the knight's blade came down to impale Yubelluna in the chest.
The dagger Yubelluna had used was made from light magic. The damage done by it would bring any devil down with a single well placed strike.
The knight's dagger, while not made from light magic, also transferred some sort of curse into Yubelluna as it connected with her chest. The magic from each dagger did its job, causing immense damage to the target's body.
Both women screamed, falling away from each other before being surrounded in a halo of blue light.
"Riser's Queen retired."
"Seekvaira Agares's knight retired."
A blue light engulfed Pegasus and teleported the horse away when the knight's defeat was announced, pulling the mythical steed out of the fight before it was able to do anything too unbelievable.
All that was left was Alivian and Issei, but Kalawarner was my only remaining piece.
"Kalawarner, do not let Issei escape Clarissa's trap! You need to do enough damage to get him out of the arena!"
Her light spears had been connecting, but none of the ones that slipped through his armor had landed a solid enough hit to retire him. The Red Dragon Emperor was still struggling to get free.
"Boost!"
The bonds around Issei started to creak and bend as his mutated rook strength doubled once more. If he was able to boost again he'd be able to get out.
