It won't end the fight this easily.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with fireballs and flaming arrows, hitting indiscriminately ice elementals, shadows, and unlucky fighters who happened to stand under a fireball or two, but the healers, still covered by the illusionners, were able to heal them and to put out the flames.

The fire rain weakened the ice elementals a lot, giving some room to all of you to focus more on taking down the shadows, giving you an unmistakable advantage over your opponents for now. You could see Lady Kogai fighting, not that far away from you, taking shadows and ice elementals down with her bare fists... Fiery fists. Yes, her hands were on fire for some reason, but you haven't got any idea of how she managed to do that, seeing as it wasn't hurting her.

Now that you think about it, she didn't seem hurt at all. Yes, there was blood trickling down her arms, yet there was no visible wounds. At least the healers were doing their part with her too, right ? But you didn't think about it much more, as you were yourself fighting, and you got some cuts while thinking about the Lady, so you needed to focus back on your fights, which were getting increasingly easier with each shadow that you managed to strike down.

However, as you took down shadows one by one, albeit with difficulties, you couldn't help but start to feel strangely cold. You had no idea why, but the air started to grow colder and colder as the battle went on, before suddenly, every single shadow froze, litterally, covered in ice, before dissolving into the ground. You didn't know why, but you felt very uncomfortable suddenly, and then, as you glanced to Lady Kogai, you understood why.

The fire on her left fist was blue, as a strange man had seemingly caught one of her blows with his bare hand. He was as tall as Lady Kogai, and you couldn't see much of him, other than his raven black hair, and ice blue eyes. He was wearing an hoodie, something that you haven't seen anywhere in this world, but was familiar to you anyway, your lost memory getting really concerning with each discovery similar to this hoodie, and he was wearing dark blue pants too. He was also barefoot, and he was the source of the coldness you felt. You almost could see the cold pouring out of him, as a thin layer of ice coated the hand he was using to hold Lady Kogai's fist, as you clearly heard him say :

"Oh, a Legend, here ? It is highly inconvenient. Like these healers hidden away behind those illusionners of yours."

As he said that, Lady Kogai eyes widened, before she opened her mouth to try and yell to the healers and illusionners to take cover, too late... The man pointed at the spot where they were, and suddenly, ice emerged from the ground, encasing every single healer and illusionner, Douma and Rei included obviously, into an enormous ice stalagmite.

Seeing that, Lady Kogai yelled :

"Pyromancers ! Focus on the ice b-..."

She was then interrupted by the man's fist punching her in the stomach, with such strength that it sent her flying to the ground, before he started slowly getting closer to her, an icy dagger appearing in his hand, as he said :

"There will be one less Legend tonight, my dear."

Seeing this, you rushed to get between him and Lady Kogai, your sword in your right hand and your dagger in the other, ready to fight... Which, oddly enough, made the man laugh, yelling right after :

"You were right, Atsura ! This guy is quite interesting indeed !"

Hearing him yell that made both you and Lady Kogai freeze, you out of shock, and her out of confusion, but you weren't frozen for long, as an even bigger foe showed himself. It was the first time you've seen Atsura's full outfit. He was wearing a long dark coat with white runes on its sleeves and back, and you could see a plain white shirt underneath, completed by the black pants and boots you already saw him wearing. As he walked towards you specifically with a grin, he said :

"Well well well, look at who we've got here."

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of you, a polearm in his hands, as he launched a blow in your stomach, that you managed to block, making you take a step backwards, as the blow felt far heavier than any your blocked before, but it also felt far less powerful than the cold emanating from the other man. He then said :

"You even got the favor of the Goddess of Life. Lucky you, I won't be able to kill you."
