Bryn smiles at the knights, sending torrents of holy magic randomly at them and the Megaphone, "Isn't this just blasphemous? A lowly witch is using your precious Holy magic against you. Come on. Come strike me down already. What would your god think?" She watches the knights, waiting for them to get closer, Almost there. Just a few more steps...
The knights continue to advance towards Bryn, but there is no rage in their movements. They continue to step closer, a flurry of weapons swinging down continually at Bryn from all sides, though they cannot stop her from overloading the megaphone-like device. Soon, under the assault of holy energy, the device explodes in a flash of blinding light. This brings a searing pain to all the demon-touched in the mausoleum, but before long the feeling passes, and the painful chanting is now much quieter, manageable even, as the only source of the chant is the voices of the paladins themselves.
Gai doesn't keep still, insread he levitates up taking the pinner with him. He ices the paladin to the roof by the offending foot, leaving him with an affectionate kick to the head before leaping down at the paladins with his shield raised and sword poised to strike.
Weapons graze at Gai, leaving him with several shallow cuts, but within seconds Gai is beyond the reach of the paladins, with one of them in tow. Seconds later, the paladin is iced to the ceiling, hanging helplessly and rubbing an aching head. As Gai dives into the crowd, however, the paladins are prepared for an attack from above, their weapons raised skyward to recieve him, and while Gai manages to block many strikes and stab straight into the slit of one knight's helmet, there are too many weapons to defend against, and Gai recieves yet more cuts from the paladins below.
Chiyoko drops herself out of the situation quite literally, opening a rift up beneath her feet. Its destination? Right over the heads of the knights encroaching upon the three group members still situated together. She swings her weapon more as a way to ward off the strikes inevitably aimed at her than to actually hit her enemies; her weight in this form should do the trick.
Chiyoko's slam attack proves deadly, and she crushes no less than three paladins on the way down, rendering them all out of commission, but so many more managed to raise their weapons and evade her deflecting swings. Holy weapons pierce into her enormous form from every angle, the holy magic suffusing them stinging horribly. Chiyoko is left with several kills, but at least as many deep cuts which ache with holy energy.
Anima though in a tight situation is still laughing. "All these bodies, all this blood." She's almost singing her voice is still that of an older male and she swings her blade humming not afraid of striking whatever stands in her way.
Anima recklessly attacks the encroaching hordes, managing to strike into a gap in the warding runes on one knight's armor and leave his weapon arm maimed beyond usefulness. The opposing knights, however, are able to keep up with her strikes and a spear impales straight through her left arm, holy energy stinging like nothing else she had felt before. It was only her off hand, but it had been maimed beyond usefulness; how ironic.
The knights within the mausoleum continue their onslaught, managing to harm Gai, Anima and Chiyoko as the space available for the heroes grows ever smaller. Silvered weapons swing at the heroes from all directions, forcing them to dodge constantly. They are left with little breathing room, and the knights show no signs of stopping attacking, while the unit which split off to attack Chiyoko rushes into the fray.
A quiet nod. "Shall I throw you?"
Meanwhile, outside the mausoleum...
Suddenly, with no warning, a man dressed in all black with a crimson scarf and a long coat shoots through the air at incredible speed and smashes weapon-first into Argus' back. With a sickening crunch of shattering bone and metal, an ebony-black blade pierces through Argus' chest, leaving him stunned and horribly impaled. It's a wonder the force of the impact only staggers him, as opposed to bowling him over instantly. The mysterious stranger who attacked Argus shouts to the valkyrie before him,
"Decapitate him, you idiot! He can't sacrifice his men if he's already dead!"
