I stabbed my other katana onto the pillar deeply, and swung upwards from it, pulling the katana buried in the ground out, and landing back on the pillar with both weapons in hand as the claws once again changed direction to head directly for me.
I cursed and jumped to another pillar - and another - and another. But by this time, my stamina was running out. I wasn't used to jumping around on pillars like these, and the energy cost for me was far greater than for a catgirl like Amane. Blocking the claws wasn't an option either - there were too many of them travelling simultaneously. I wasn't that skilled with these katanas yet, so there was no way I could accomplish deflecting all of them.
In a last-ditch attempt, I suddenly changed direction, and ran - directly towards Amane herself, preparing to attack with my katanas.
