It was evident that this gun, in Ittindi's hands, was a game-changer. The way he maneuvered it with such precision and agility, even though it was a fresh addition to his arsenal, was a sight to behold. The thought of how much more Ittindi could achieve with this weapon excited Knuckles. He had seen Kon, the Immortal Wolves Guild Master, and Nana, the Daemon, use guns before, but Ittindi's aptitude had a unique flair to it. Despite his brief affiliation with the criminal organization, Knuckles always appreciated true mastery, irrespective of the context.
Harnessing his determination, Knuckles prepared himself as he saw his foe summon flames once more. This time, however, the flames ascended into the air, aimed solely at him. It was as though his adversary had singled him out for this fiery onslaught. But Knuckles would not fall into the role of a passive spectator, like the others who had been present or those who were still around. He was ready to confront this challenge head-on, to prove that he was not a target to be trifled with. His fingers tightened around his own weapon, a clear sign of his resolve to face any threat that came his way.
Knuckles' gaze followed the retreating figure of the Dragon girl, her swift departure signaling a lack of courage, a cowardice Knuckles had suspected all along. This confirmed his reservations concerning their reliability in the high-stakes game of battle. A bitter taste of disappointment lingered as he watched her disappear into the shadows. This act of retreat, he noted, would serve as a future reminder to maintain a cautious distance from her and those she proudly called allies. In the unforgiving world of warfare, they had proven themselves unreliable at critical moments, a liability he could ill afford.
Then, almost as if cued by an unseen hand, a newcomer appeared in the Dragon girl's vacated place. The entrance was so seamless, so unanticipated, it was as if the gods – or perhaps demons – had willed it. This newcomer was no ordinary combatant, however. From the moment they stepped onto the battlefield, their presence was undeniable. With a casual flick of their wrist, they summoned forces unseen, melding magic with sheer martial prowess in a display that was almost artful in execution. The stranger's blade moved with an elegance and precision, unlike anything Knuckles had witnessed before, carving through the thick tension that hung in the air. The spectacle left an impression; it was clear that this newcomer was a force to be reckoned with, their skill a mesmerizing dance of magic and steel that had been honed to deadly perfection.
Knuckles cast a sideways glance toward the other Rune Knight, Ittindi's companion, who was still standing amidst the chaos of the battle. His gaze was fixed on the dwindling flames of their adversary, a sly smirk playing on his lips. Was he preparing to absorb the flames once more, transmuting them into raw power? Not, it seemed a transformation was about to unfold. A chuckle erupted from Knuckles as Toga entered the fray, his wings offsetting the angle of attack in a coordinated maneuver. Without missing a beat, Knuckles reached over for Tamas, who was still within reach. Discarding his hammer, he attempted to grab the wide-eyed man by the back of his shirt. With a swift move, Knuckles hurled him towards the god-like mage, intending to prolong their relentless assault. His actions were a testament to the adaptability and tactical prowess that set him apart on the battlefield.
Unencumbered now, Knuckles maintained his flight trajectory, hurtling himself towards the divine adversary with renewed vigor. His fist, hardened from countless battles, connected with a satisfying thud against the god-possessed vessel's head. The force of the impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air, resonating with the raw power that defined the battlefield. The vessel wavered under the relentless assault, its once formidable posture faltering. It was apparent, even amidst the chaos of battle, that the god-possessed vessel was on its last legs, its demise imminent. The battlefield held its collective breath, bracing for the fall of the godly entity.
