How many hours had it been...? Alisa had lost track after the first few, her armor sweaty and tattered from the stenuous battle she'd so far survived. She'd incurred a couple light injuries, but for the most part, the hunter armor had lived up to its name and helped her far more than she even expected, letting her conserve the mana she'd have used on defensive spells. Indeed conservation was the name of the game her. In no other time had Alisa felt this pressing a need to lean on her stamina and physical fitness, knowing even the slightest unnecessary expense in magic power would have cost her dearly.

She was foolish to have fought them for so long... Hell, even her stamina had to be sparingly expended throughout the battle, for Alisa simply couldn't see the end to the enemy horde:

"Just how many demons do they have here...?", she growled, panting visibly as her chest heaved up and down under the ragged confines of her armor, her skin flushed, her long, silky hair clinging to her wet skin far too often.

Yet she lacked the luxury of time needed to simply brush it away behind her, merely whipping it back, partly wishing she'd have considered cutting her hair before wandering into the Abyss... Or at least tying it up in a ponytail really, that too would solve her problem nicely enough... In no other time had Alisa been pressured as much as she felt now, not even when she faced Zade during the invasion of Crocus. Back then, she had allies to watch her back, and she didn't even feel the master swordsman was overly preoccupied with taking their lives. This was different. Alisa was not only fighting for victory, but for survival. The moment she fell, she was as good was dead:

"Tch... You lot are far too troublesome.", clicking her tongue, she slashed a trio of advancing winged demons to ribbons before dashing back and out of the way, avoiding an oncoming club by a hair's breadth.

As she looked around and saw the predictable arrival of yet more reinforcements, Alisa realizing the futility of fighting so hard for a change in location. Though she had managed it, she hadn't really improved her situation in any way.

The choice of the cave systems had indeed helped her manage the enemy's seemingly endless ranks, at the cost of her own escape routes. At that point, both options on the table were lackluster at best and indeed, she didn't really see a way out of this. More often than not she found herself forced to fall back as sheer numbers overwhelmed her, limiting the number of paces she could safely dash to. Even if she took down horde after horde as she landed, she'd be left wide open before those who followed.

"Whoa there...!", Alisa had noticed the danger before, but only after being pushed this close to it did she truly grow aware of the danger. Forced to constantly fight off the demons, she was progressively forced closer and closer to the one place they seldom emerged from... A dizzying cliff merely a few meters behind there. She'd only glimpse long enough to notice the absense of a bottom, but at this point, she didn't really have the luxury to look closer. Brow furrowing as she glared back at the advancing demons, looking everywhere, anywhere for a way out, "To think... Such useless demons could actually push my this far..."

Though Alisa had somewhat adequately gauged the strength of these demons, she seriously underestimated their numbers and was now standing on the precipice of paying quite the heavy price for it... Literally... She needed space... Swinging her sword like this was nearly impossible, merely steadying herself to unleash a single strike produced a rather eerie, crumbling sound beneath her, one she was very much aware of but her foes seemed to care very little for.

"How obnoxious... You lot... Are way too pushy!", scoffing as her brow twitched angrily, Alisa inhaled deeply and played the only real gambit she had left, chest heaving as her magic power spike, the mere lowering of her sword inciting the more reckless fiends onto another suicidal charge, onto the very cliff she stood on. Curling her toes and digging deeply into the ground below, the sculptress shouted with all her might, unleashing a hefty amount of her thick magic power in a ferious battlecry, spewing forth a powerful blast of shredding crystals, "Shouma no... GEKIKOU!!!"

The ground underneath her wasn't meant to handle a fast moving person swinging a very heavy sword, let alone so many demons trying to push her off it. That they managed to back her up against the corner so much was embarassing enough as it were, but even the tiniest mistake cost her dearly in this predicament, and she'd had quite a long time to amass a few of them... Naturally, the same held true for any hopeful mages trying to unleash such a destructive stream of power. Alisa took care to aim it just high enough that the bottom of her spell wouldn't hit and uplift that already unstable ground, shredding as many demons as she could without sending herself to her own doom. It worked pretty well, and even if she grievously overestimated the durability of the cliff, she managed to keep it stable just long enough to charge right after her spell, cutting a swath through the surviving demons, left, right then back at those hopeful few who hoped to blindside her.

"Tch... This is about as far as I can get huh?", never in her life did Alisa imagine she'd find herself wishing she could produce bigger spells, but she knew that even then, the sheer number of enemies would probably outmatch her limited magic.

Even after earning herself this much breathing room, she could never get herself much further than a few dozen meters away, never quite enough to escape the enemies' onslaught in such precarious, pernicious grounds... Sooner rather than later, she'd once again find herself in that rather troublesome position, pushed closer and closer towards the edge, inch after inch. It felt as if for every enemy she downed, Alisa couldn't win even the slightest semblance of room in their wake:

"There has to be some way out of here!!", using what little time she had inbetween strikes to look around, Alisa did all she could to seek some way of escaping this onslaught. At this point, even the chasm underneath her looked like a viable escape route, if only she could find a way to get down from there. But even just getting down from the cliff was more easily said than done, when a screech behind her alerted Alisa to the enemies charging her from the air, hefting their menacing claws as they hoped to strike her down from her blind spot, "Now coming from this side too?! My, just how pushy can you get...!!"

Cutting them down in mid air was as easy as breathing, however, this left Alisa with far less room to focus on whatever other enemies she had to face, that was, until an eerie, troubling thumping sound drew her attention, eyes widened as she briskly finished off the fliers and turned back to the horde on the other side. Among the many advancing demons now stood a massive, bulky brawler, leading the charge against the one woman army, sword hoisted over his head as he roared and prepared to strike her down where she stood.

That colossus...!! If she let it get any closer, she'd fall down for sure! No way the edge of this cliff could hold something so heavy on top of it without crumbling instantly. Alisa had but a few moments to act before getting knocked off her ledge, charging right back into the fray, ready to meet the enemy head on, barely paying any mind to the few opportunists who took this chance to strike her left and right, shredding her armor a bit further. If she let that demon get any closer... She'd inevitably fall! Yet before she could steer clear of the danger zone and strike out against her foe, Alisa found her footing crumbling down from underneath her, removing her from the battle in the most chilling way imaginable:

"No...!!", even knowing the inevitable would some sooner or later, Alisa's eyes still widened at how suddenly and unexpectedly it gave way, her foothold suddenly vanishing from underneath her letting the huntress plummetting unceremoniously into the Abyssal chasm.

Just how careless could she be?! After all that boastful talk, the whole idea of getting into the Abyss and walking back out without a care in the world. Nothing like a near death experience to snap you right back to reality... There was a reasonably good chance that she wouldn't make it out of this alive. Freefalling into the endless chasm, her long, silky hair whipping furiously above her, Alisa held on hard to her sword, wondering just how long she'd have before crashing unceremoniously into the ground below. She still had time. Even now she couldn't see the bottom, she could end up falling for hours, gritting her teeth and narrowing her eyes, Alisa steeled her resolve, ready to claw her way out of certain death with tooth and nails:

"Not yet!", crying out in a vivid reminder, she held on to her last chance at survival as she looked around the rocks.

She wasn't dead yet! As long as still drew breath, Alisa would find a way to survive. Even as the bowels of the Abyss loomed ominously beneath her, so long as she didn't see the bottom then she still had plenty of time. Time to think over her options and find herself a way out. Turning her body around on her front, all but wishing she had some ability to glide her way to safety... She didn't, but...:

"I have the next best thing~", smiling as she finally saw a crevice she could use, Alisa eyed her target and activated her thrusters, pushing herself forward. The recoil force generated by her spell pushed her swiftly towards the opposite wall, only a few meters away.

There was nothing to gain by merely dangling off some nook and cranny... Even assuming it handled the amount of weight that came with breaking her fall on one hand, she couldn't exactly hope to climb her way back up a distance this enormous. The cliff walls weren't exactly stable. Finding the entrance to some cave seemed like a far more promising alternative: Even if the worst came to pass, if she had some shelter then she could certainly create a spell that gave her the out she needed. Alas, it seemed like her out wouldn't come so easily for she soon heard a menacing roar coming from above her. Even while falling to his doom, the mindless behemoth kept his eyes on her with a bloodhound's tenacity, one hand gripping the edges, ripping a massive gash through the bedrock as he swung his blade down, aiming to not only cut off her escape but to cut her literally, cleaving her in half with his colossal blade.

"Tch... How meddlesome.", it was all she could do to redirect her own momentum with her Shifter spell, tapping her foot and creating a magic circle that propelled her into a spin, deflecting the offending blade with a resonating clang that shook the very walls of the cliff

This would be a difficult battle... For a woman who relied so much on footwork, she found herself depressingly devoid of any semblance of one, forced to battle so far outside her element she may as well be underwater. She was, after all, an earth mage, and no amount of flying spells could ever change that. Deprived of her contact with the ground, she'd always find herself at a disadvantage, but thankfully it didn't seem as though the demon fared that much better than her, quickly letting go of his hold on the rock lest he save himself at the cost of losing sight of his mark.

How tenacious...

Just what Alisa needed right now, really... She'd give him credit for his doggedness if he wasn't seriously getting on her nerves... Sinking his clawed feet into the bedrock, the demon propelled itself against her, swinging wildly with his blade until swinging back was all she could do, putting all of her power behind her own strike. Lacking an actual foothold, her attack lacked much of it's cutting power, but she had just enough tension to defend herself and avoid an attack... At least, from the demon's blade:

"You heavy little...!", glowering as she had no real chance to properly block such a blow in midair, she could only grit her teeth and prepare herself as the loud, clanging impact sent her flying towards the opposite end of the charm. Luckily for Alisa and unfortunately for her opponent, the sculptress had just enough agility to reposition herself in midair, and all the strength she needed to let her powerful legs absotb even the heavy momentum from the impact, "...But... Two can play that game."

Sure, she was very much at a disadvantage when it came to trading blows in mid air, against an opponent so much heavier than her. The energy behind each of their blows reflected equally in each of their bodies, and a heavier opponent simply absorbed more of it, allowing him to hold his ground. But simply being knocked against the walls wouldn't really beat her outright, and as Alisa kicked off hard enough to crack the walls of the cliff, she blitzed right back to her foe, sword at her side, ready to carve into him again and again, however many times she needed.

With a myriad blows exchanged in only a few seconds, Alisa knew this foe would truly be a difficult one. Though she'd likely breeze through the battle were she facing it all alone on a proper battlefield, out here the suicidal behemoth's own weight was a stronger weapon than any disproportionate greatsword it could have carried into battle, clangs and clashes echoed through the abyssal depths as the two went head two head, each behemoths in their own way. As Alisa shot herself forward, she'd often find a blade swung into her blow. As she was the only one with a survival instinct, the only one who cared about the consequences about falling down from this height, Alisa had to seize the initiative in this fight, come what may:

"Too slow...!!", she scolded her hopeful foe at every turn, needing only to raise her sword the the direction of her foe's blow, grit her teeth and tighten her muscles, just enough not to crumple under the weight of his blow. Yes, the enemy's momentum certainly knocked her around a fair bit but... He couldn't quite swing his sword faster than Alisa could dash, not by a long shot. After quite a few attempts, after a series of tiny little wounds, the sculptress clawed her way on top of the battle with a deep, vicious gash across the demon's abdomen, right under it's armpit.

More than enough to leave it spewing blood as she carried on her path, knocking away along the path of his slash, only barely managing to turn around and land on her feet, admiring her handiwork as her foe still looked pretty far from totally beaten:

"Sure, I suppose we could have one more dance... But... Might be a tad too much for you~"

On some level, she might even find herself enjoying this... The thrill, the adrenaline... With every blow traded her faint smile widened ever so softly, until even the gashes throughout her once pristine armor, until even the bruises marring her powerful, toned body mattered comparatively little...

It took shooting a casual, curious glance towards her jet black blade, the only real limit she had on her ability to trade blows with this beast, to get a good, long look at the other very real, very dangerous limit. A single wary glance back down sent a figid shiver down her spine, a grim reminder of what would happen sooner than she realized:

"So that's how deep it is, huh?", she noted, spending no more than a few eye widened seconds looking at the bottom she'd already lost hopes of seeing anytime soon.

She was running out of time... Tch... Unless she brought this battle to a close within the next two minutes, she'd soon have a very unpleasant face to face with a the seemingly jagged bedrock that laid at the bottom of the cliff. At this point she had no way of telling in clear detail but quite frankly, she was better off not knowing until she found a proper place to land. But first:

"I suppose that makes things easier.", glaring at her wounded foe, Alisa inhaled deeply once more, and shouted with all her might, spewing forth another Demon Roar, "HAAA!!"

True, Alisa could have arguably done this from the beginning, but quite frankly, it felt like a colossal waste of mana on an enemy she should have been able to vanquish with her sword alone... Plus, there's no telling if she couldn't just cause another rock slide and make things all the more difficult...

"And now...!", with little time to think or even act, Alisa reacted on instinct, propelling herself closer to the edge and jamming Yoru into a crevice, all she could do, really, to hold herself in place before she figured out her next move, "Now, how to get down there without breaking a leg... Or, well... Dying."[/b][/color]

But even though no rock slides loomed over her, a wailing screech revealed something just as troublesome, a horde of flying demons hot on her tail, no doubt only holding themselves back out of fear of being skewered by either Alisa or the opponent she just defeated. Perhaps a bit more cautious than the enemies she butchered up high, these calmly awaited for her to be hanging by a thread to make their move:

"These boys really to learn to take the hint..."
