Whoosh
Both men took a step back before attacking again.

At the same time, Lloyd linked up with Ryuk and ordered him to run away.
The latter wasn't so keen on that.
"No… this might just be my emotions talking but I can't leave until I avenge Tatiana."
"You fool, think for a second before you act!... What about Ella?"
Ryuk rose to his feet as his aura exploded as well. "I'll send her away. You have bought me enough time and now I know who I can trust to care for her."
Wrapping solid space around Ella, he dropped her on the ground as he began to weave hand signs.
The other Assassins took this as an opportunity as they charged at him. Alas, they underestimated their opponent.
As they swung their weapons, activating the talismans on them to create a scene teeming with lightning, shadow, and poison, Ryuk took a deep breath and as though he were in a different plain, spoke incomprehensible words.
