[color=a0410d]"Tricks aren't going to work on a pro like me, little girl.[/color] While the other lady was boasting about herself, Miria was already with her eyes closed and chanting her next attack, with a pair of talismans right in front of her. [color=a0410d]"Could you at the very least turn to see me while I speak? I may be the last thing you see, you know? Un!"[/color] A talisman flies out of her hand and drops to the ground, it soon turns into a wolf the same size of the lady controlling it. [color=a0410d]"You've pissed me off enough for me to use this. My most powerful shikigami will now wipe the floor with you."[/color] The wolf indeed seemed quite ferocious. [color=a0410d]"Amarok, tear her apart!"[/color] Meanwhile, Miria continued on with her chanting, though it seemed more as if she was mumbling. [color=f49ac2]"4 cardinal points, aid me now. Guard me from harm, don't let anything through your barrier. 4 cardinal points..."[/color] She continued on repeating the same verse for a while. The enemy onmyouji raised an eyebrow, but still, she didn't hesitate to continue on with her attack. [color=f49ac2]"Order!"[/color] She motioned forward with her arm, the gigantic wolf following suit with that, it was about to throw itself at Miria, but was suddenly stopped by something , that was seemingly invisible. It went down with a whimper. [color=a0410d]"W-What?"[/color] the woman extended her hand and found herself trapped in Miria's barrier. [color=a0410d]"You.... When did you set all of this up, you damned brat!?"[/color] She looked around and saw that she was surrounded by four talismans, that were keeping the barrier in place for Miria. [color=a0410d]"Un!"[/color] With her hand up, she tried something against Miria's barrier, as a great wave of force lashed out against the barrier. [color=a0410d]"It's so tough... Amarok!"[/color] The wolf started tackling the barrier, to no avail. [color=f49ac2]"The match has already been decided!"[/color] Miria said to her, pointing at the trapped woman. [color=f49ac2]"I did all of this while you were busy bluffing about you being a pro and whatnot! You are no longer able to do anything now!"[/color] [color=a0410d]"Hehe, do you really think a barrier like this will keep me in hold for a long while?"[/color] She took out a pair of talismans she could use. [color=a0410d]"I merely need to dispel this at once and I'll get on with your pounding. Besides, it isn't as strong as you think. You already look tired."[/color] She smiled, while Miria was indeed panting to get some air into her lungs. The match had really worn her out, but she still smiled. [color=f49ac2]"No, like I said, there's no longer anything else you can do. The barrier is not meant to keep you at bay. It is meant to keep you from escaping."[/color] As she said so, the woman inside her barrier slowly turned, only to find there Lamia, Lorenzo's damiliar, ready to strike at the enemy. Like a snake, her tongue started going in and out of her mouth. [color=f49ac2]"All yours, Lamia-chan."[/color] [color=a0410d]"N-no! Amarok!"[/color] Even before her shikigami could do anything, Lamia had already put her body all around her and bit her neck. Soon enough, the woman fell unconscious from both the strength of Lamia's grip and the poison in her veins. Miria dropped her barrier and sat down on the ground, finally letting a relieved sigh. [color=f49ac2]"That was tough... Thank you, Lamia-chan, Boss."[/color]
