Lawliet raised his katar a bit, glancing to the sides to see the soldiers. "Heh...Slayn the Thunderbolt? That's a lame name. Not like you could beat me either...or can these soldiers around me as well." He grinned underneath his black mask, he took a few steps back. Then the assassin did a graceful blackflip and landed behind the circle of soldiers. The soldiers turned to face their opponent, then Lawliet decapitated four of soldiers who were in front. "Hehehe...why don't you face me instead of hiding behind your lackeys? More of a challenge right?"

"Because I do not bother with petty swine."
Slayn snapped his fingers, and in a flash a bolt of lightning came hurtling down from the sky at Lawliet.
"Why do you think I'm called "Thunderbolt?"

Lawliet jumped back two yards away from where he was initially at to avoid the lightning bolt. Unlike the Grand Generals of Arthias, he was way faster. "Why do you think I'm a infamous assassin?" The assassin then disappeared from view...well to those who's level of power is below that of the Grand Generals. He merely increased his speed. Then the knights that surrounded him earlier fell to the ground dead, their necks slit. The assassin reappeared against in front of the Slayn and stabbed towards him, "Your too slow.."

Slayn calmly dodged to the side. He had fought these types before. His hand glowed red, and he made a sweeping motion with it, which was followed by a large wall of fire, which flared at Lawliet.
"You are nothing compared to a Guardian or a Grand General."

Lawliet scowled quietly..he hated magic. They were cheap and made it difficult for non-magic users. At least he was fast. He rushed towards Slayn, then with his left hand he grabbed some smoke bombs from his pouch. He threw it to the ground and smoke covered half of the castleyard. Before the smoke limited his eyesight he could make out Slayn's body just a few inches away. He charged both his arms and released it to stab towards Slayn. Then if he missed, then he sliced right and left at the same time, using one arm for each side.

Slayn chuckled and closed his eyes, listening to the footsteps on the ground. With a wave of his hand, he made a gust of wind, sending all the smoke towards Lawliet. He opened his eyes and ducked and sent a quick lightning shot at Lawliet's chest.

With Lawliet's quick thinking he raised his katar to take the lightning shot as well. But the the katar's steel conducted electricity which sent a shock to Lawliet's system. The assassin fell to the ground kneeling, unable to move without feeling any pain. He started to resist the shock and tried to stand up...what will happen next.

Slayn calmly waved his hand again, sending a powerful gust of wind at Lawliet, sending him flying backwards. He smirked once more.
"They call me "Nature's Calamity" for a reason, you know. I never go unprepared and carry various tomes to aid versitaility to the battle. Hahahahaha...."
Nearby, Isabel could barely stand. She had taken a direct hit, and she felt weak....

Lawliet hits the castle wall, he stood up panting. He glanced to see Isabel standing up..this could be his chance. He took out a dagger from his pouch and threw it at Slayn effortlessly. Then started rushing towards Slayn with his katar raised to kill him.

Isabel saw her opening and ran forward, hoping to catch Slayn off guard. She raised her saber and stabbed at him.
Slayn dodged his head to the side. He sent a bolt of lightning at Lawliet, and suddenly noticed Isabel, quickly casting a wind spell. The spell sent her flying, and she landed on her back. He laughed.
"Nice try. But I'm not easily taken down. Now, say good bye...."
Slayn snapped his fingers, sending a lethal lightning bolt hurtling at Isabel. Suddenly, a longsword came hurtling out of nowhere, landing upright in the ground. The spell hit the blade, and channeled harmlessly into the ground. Slayn looked up to see two blond men, one with a braided ponytail in red armor and another with short hair in shining steel armor. The short haired man's left arm was in a throwing position. He walked up to his blade, pulling it out. He winked at Isabel.
"Darling, you try too hard. I can handle him easy. Leave him to me, ok?"
Isabel groaned as she was helped up by Captain Lars. She leaned on his good arm and glared at Ryan.
"I am not your "darling" Ryan!"

The adrenaline rushed throughout his entire body. He grinned underneath his mask as he sidestepped to avoid the lightning bolt. He rushed towards Slayn again, and did multiple japs and slashes at Slayn at his current top speed. The fire was getting bigger every moment, the Doramas troops were slaughtering soldiers left to right. The only ones that were left were a handful of soldiers, the Grand Generals, and Prince Edgar. Speaking of which, where was Prince Edgar?

A knight leaped in Lawliet's path, ready to defend his general. The knight soon fell dead, however, it had provided a brief diversion, and allowed Slayn to dodge by a paper's width. He frowned at his situation; he was facing a Grand General at full potential, and a dangerous assassin. The numbers were not in his favor, but he could always just throw troops at them. He waved his hands, creating a large, impassable firewall, blocking the way out for everyone else. He laughed.
"The army of Doramas will trample over your corpses like a stampede. I doubt you will escape alive!"
And with that, Slayn turned and calmly walked away.
Beowulf lead the prince to the king's bedchamber, where some of the fires blazed intensely. He pulled on a nearby candle holder, and the wall nearby opened up, revealing a secret passage.
"Amadus! Take the Prince and flee to the forests! We'll meet there! I have go back and search for the others!"
Amadus was about to object when Beowulf cut him off.
"A leader always remains until the last of his men have retreated! No arguements, just GO!"
Amadus nodded, and he and Prince Edgar descended the stairs of the hidden passge while Beowulf ran off to find his remaining four generals....

Lawliet growled angrily as his opponent escaped his grasps. He tried to ran after him, but the many soldiers of Doramas blocked his path. He cursed silently to himself and proceeded to charge towards the soldiers. He started killing many, but fatigue was coming close to him. The assassin wouldn't last for long..so maybe if he killed a few more he could make his escape.

Ryan motioned for Lars to leave. Lars nodded, helping Isabel along to escape. Ryan charged forward, killing a knight that was about to stab Lawliet in the back with a simple twist of his wrist. He darted forward, swing the sword at two enemies at a time, avoiding enemy blows with ease. He turned to Lawliet.
"The way is blocked by the firewall! Follow those two! I'll hold them here as long as possible before I follow you!"
Makoto panted in exhaustion, but he did not move from his spot. He was soaked in the blood of his enemies, and had a few cuts himself. Doramas soldiers were now relectant to approach this demon of war, lest their lives were ended in a flash by his blade.

"It's your life not mine. And I'm not that into your kingdom so I don't have that patriotism you guys have. Later!" He waved as he turned, then killed a knight who tried to get in his way. Lawliet ran forward to forward Lars and Isabel. A Doramas Knight charged at the two but before he could reach it, Lawliet had already stabbed him in the side. His guts spilling out. "Hurry up you two unless you want to die." He said to them, hoping they will hurry up.
