Kaito was relieved that Jazdia seemed a bit calmer after he had talked to her. He had kind of expected to get scolded by the elf but much to his surprise she told him not to worry and called him ‘my little fox’. Much time to think or even respond to Jazdia words weren’t given as the elf turned around and kept on moving forward. Leaving the fox behind with a blush on his face.

The spectacle at the end of the tunnel was both terrifying and repulsive. It instantly answered the question on what the slaves in the other room were used for. The black Serpent Guild let them fight to the death for the entertainment of the crowds. And the last victim was turned to shreds by two tigers. Luckily Jazdia took care of those magnificent animals before they could become a threat to Kaito and his companions. However they now found themselves in a rather dangerous situation.

Kaito looked around the large arena. The walls were too high to scale and above them was a large crowd of people that had been enjoying the sight of people killing each other. Despite them being uninvited guests, the commentator just spun it in a way that they would be the next entertainers to prove their merit in the arena. 

The fox took a step backwards as their opponents appeared from the other side of the room. Three buff guys with poleaxes and a bunch of midgets with nets to ensnare them. What worried Kaito the most was the fact that there was some magic at play that intervened with his powers. It felt as if he would not be able to use them at all in this arena.

For a moment the Kitsune contemplated if they should retreat. He felt nothing for participating in this kind of entertainment and the odds didn’t look in their favor. Especially with the magical barrier that intervened with their magic. However much time to strategize they didn’t get as the Wirjurgen Crews made the first move.

Two of the midgets threw their nets at Jazdia which she managed to dodge. However at the same time one of the burly men jumped forward and attacked her with his poleaxe. Sending Jazdia crashing into the pillar. They had to move now and move smart, Otherwise the situation would become very bleak.

Ignoring the man who came rushing through the door shouting something about what was going on here, Kaito made his move. Quickly he pushed his wakizashi the first inch out with his left tumb and circled the burly man that had attacked Jazdia, placing himself between the elf and the man. Quickly the fox dashed forward, holding the tsuka with his right hand. Ready to attack with a draw cut while always keeping the other enemies in his peripheral vision.

Just as the kitsune was about to enter the range of the poleaxe, Kaito leaped forward while executing his draw cut. Rather than striking at the man’s body he used his wakizashi to strike at the poleaxe, pushing it aside while continuing to move forwards. Quickly he grabbed his dagger with his left hand and  duck to attempt to cut the burly man’s achilles tendon. He wasn’t sure if the move would work but at least it would create an opening for either Chounan or Yvonne to strike and buy some time for Jazdia to retreat to the back.
