With the anticipation of an assault from behind, the ground fissured and beneath the shade created a fault line. Upon doing so, Elerai also formed a box in of walls from the earth that he was separating. Not only preventing Greys attack, but making it harder to hit him.

Grey looked to her, "I can handle a demon......hopefully.....please explain......"

The Shade vanished at the last moment, into the darkness, as patches of shadow began to plop up along the barrier around them, and laughter could be heard.

Nijuu motioned for her guest to follow her back into the house, as she said: "It's nothing more than a snake demon. He seems to think he can wear me down, so he can devour the souls here in Isora Falls." She opened the front door, leaving it open for her guest to follow her. "I've purified his aura many times, and yet he continues to return. I could easily vanquish this demon without a second thought; however, in the past, that was not something I was willing to do. But since this demon insists on returning, I have no other option but to vanquish this demon."

Grey flipped himself up onto his feet, and followed her into her home. "Well I can take care of it, as long as I can get to it that is....."

They appeared, both Drake and the creature, in whatever placed as an atrium in the Colosseum, and Drake fell away from his passenger, getting as far away as possible from it.

'What's wrong?' it said, walking over to Drake, 'I don't bite. Much. Besides, you know the terms of the agreement. I can't harm you. That is, until I uphold my end of the bargain.'
'Yeah? But you're still bloody creepy.' Drake replied, pushing himself further away from it.
He flashed a smile of large, sharp teeth. 'That's the point. Now I have some work to do. Try not to piss yourself while I'm gone.' He turned and headed towards the Battle Grounds within.

A voice spoke within Lilith's mind. 'There is a man cowering in the atrium. He has been sent to aid you. It is imperative that you keep the corpse you are traveling with away from the red eyed creature that is now roaming the area. Otherwise, there will be dire consequences.'

"Without compassion there isn't much in the world, The ones who are rough and mean do not understand the value of life, and passion. It is still my driving force in life."

Cecil grabbed his sword and clipped it back on his hip like usual. He sat down on the side of Rein, Bottle in hand, he sunk into the cushions, embraced its comfort, as well as his company. He took another rather large swig, capping the bottle he placed it to the side. He had a slight buzz nothing that would interfere with his thought process.

"So... Would you be open in telling me about your sister? I am rather uncertain if I told you of my old family. But, I would always be opening to hear about you, your relatives, and if so, your kin."

Cecil had started getting more energy, so he leaned with his body hanging over the couch. His attention drawn to her response, but also ready to move, devestate, possibly even manipulate something to his will, his murderous tendencies were running high, Family was always a touchy issue for him.

Elerai focused in on the laughs and movements of Grey, the vibrations of his movement and breath was enough to disturb the earth surrounding them. Closing his eyes he visualized the target, and closed in the walls at every movement he would make smart enough for elerai he prevented any attacks by entombing himself into a space literally made For only his body. With an enormous. Amount of light shining to disallow any shadows. It would prevent damage from the walls.

Clearing his mind, He awaited for the next choice from grey.

"First, I have some preparations before we hunt this demon." Nijuu said, as she grabbed her staff, which was leaning against the wall in the living room. "Follow me." She instructed, as she walked out of the house, and into the village of Isora Falls.

Genesis' eyes appeared within the specs of darkness, which overran portions of the area's light. "You know what the best defense against light is?" As he spoke, multiple sets of eyes appeared around his opponent, "Light itself, Dageroth depends upon the shadows, I merely use them......" A holy presence appeared in front of his opponent, and lashed out with its arm, a bar of anti matter slamming into his opponent.

Grey quietly followed her outside, before stopping for a moment, and looking to the ground, then a moment later, he continued to follow her, having put on a pair of sunglasses, silver in color.

"I have a brother, So to speak. I dont know him well, But I know who he is, I don't know if he is alive or dead, I don't know if he has a family. He probably wouldn't remember me anyway."

Cecil Gently lifted Rein out of her seat and shifted his arms and hands positioning to go around her waist. Looking down he gazed into her eyes, Equally as dead as the state he gave to her. Though he was enjoying himself he lacked many emotions. Yet understood them, but couldn't harness them.

"You say your sister is similar in many ways. Does she look up to you, is she looking for approval of her own race?"

Cecil began to shuffle his feet as smoothly as possible, with very little experience at dancing he gives it his full effort. "Just need to kill a little more time." Cecil thought to himself. "Her company is rather, enjoyable."


Elerai, Releasing the entombment back into the ground, threw up his left shoulder ultimately absorbing the bar of antimatter however... That wouldn't matter. Knowing the results of anti matter existing with the same as matter well... A ginormous explosion had shook the earth, forming a crater on the ground Elerai stand on. Smoke, gravel, Dirt, debris, anything in the arena that was once useable inside the barrier was all destroyed.

Normally, this would kill a person. Elerai, felt it, and endured. With his right hand he grabbed Genesis by his neck and threw him into the crater. While he was briefly incapacitated A large Elerai shot a large spike into his spine. Through his chest, and through to the other side.

Nijuu walked towards several statues placed around Isora Falls. She placed her hand upon each statue, and closed her eyes. Upon closing her eyes a slight glow appeared around the hand placed upon the statue. After several seconds, Nijuu opened her eyes, and walked to the next statue, repeating this process until she was done.

Genesis' eyes went dark, and his power faded from his body, only for another version of himself to appear, and the body of a broken, lifeless esper had been placed in the grip of the man. "My talents often involve taking control of a target, and using their talents. It seems you got a hurt a bit there.....a tip....best to get out of the crater......." He leaped into the air, and his feet stuck to the mile long barrier, as the land with the Coliseum began to reform. Standing upside down on the barrier, Genesis began to swirl around a sphere of flame, light, darkness, electricity, and water, showing that he now possessed an elementalist of five elements.

Grey silently observed Nijuu's activity. He looked upon it with curiosity, and said, though in a deeper voice, "I've seen a woman do as such in the past....." but very quietly as well.

Nijuu turned to her guest, as she replied: "Did she explain this?"

Grey gave a nod, his eyes still concealed, his posture now filled with strength, and true confidence, "A bit, many different groups, and many different races have different techniques to protect themselves, to draw in evil, and to snuff it out.......we all have our chosen methods........"

Nijuu shook her head. "This isn't to draw evil out, this is to protect the residents of Isora Falls." She corrected her guest. "I'm strengthening a barrier I've maintained here since before my mother left Isora Falls." She added, as she removed her hand from the final statue, revealing a four petaled, lightly glowing bloom upon the statue. After a few seconds the bloom seemed to melt into the statue. "This barrier will keep the demon from attempting to steal the souls of those whom reside here."

Grey's eyes flashed, and the barrier became clear to his sight, "I see.....its strong enough to hold back mild and semi powerful demons.......but if someone like Balros.......or Cerberus showed up.....it'd be a massacre.........."

Nijuu gripped her staff tightly, as she turned to her guest. "Well, then it's a good thing that we're only vanquishing a mere snake demon." She commented, as calmly as she could, as she walked to the edge of her barrier. "Go ahead, touch it." She instructed. "It won't hurt you." She added with a slight smile on her face.

Grey stepped forward, and listened to her, though as he touched the barrier, his flesh burned slightly, causing him to retract his hand. "Dammit........the blood still remains......."

Nijuu gasped slightly, not expecting her own barrier to react to her guest this way. "I'm so sorry." She said, as she grabbed his hand to make sure that it was not as injured as she thought it would be. "It's not supposed to react that way to you." She added, as she inspected his hand carefully. She then placed her staff on the ground, and covered his hand with her other hand. "Here, I'll show you what it's supposed to feel like." She added, as she closed her eyes. A soft glow could be seen from between her hands, with her guest's hand between her hands. As she willed her spirit energy through her hands, she could feel her own hands getting quite warm. After several seconds, she opened her eyes, and the glowing had ceased. She looked at her guest. "You should be able to pass through the barrier, unharmed." She spoke softly, as she picked up her staff, and walked through her own barrier with no problem.

Grey put on his gloves, and walked through after her, a momentary burning sensation creating intense pain along the skin of his chest. Something he hadn't told her, was of his heritage. He walked after her, his shades still covering his eyes.

Nijuu waited outside of her barrier for her guest. She smiled slightly, as he walked through her barrier. "The demon should-"
"I'm dissssappointed in you Nijuu Hissssasssshi." Came a hissing sound from the near distance. "Employing asssssisssstance."
The expression on Nijuu's pale face fell, as she turned around. She slammed her staff into the ground....cracks forming around the base of the staff. She kept one hand placed upon the staff. "I'm tired of your games, and you clearly have not heeded my warnings." She stated firmly. "I have no choice but to vanquish you."
"Do you really think you can do sssssuch a thing?" The hissing voice asked, as a giant snake circled around the area in which Nijuu was standing, then lifted his head off the ground. The size of the snake appeared to be more than capable of consuming Nijuu easily.
