The real battle had just begun as Sheila and Damnatio did the first true strike. Though Barret seems to easily catch both of their attack as he hold onto both rapier quite tightly. Sheila and Damnatio is shocked as they both let go of their weapon and seems to use their hand.
Barret smiles as he seems to be quite excited after seeing both of his enemies are using their hands to fight. Sheila and Damnatio strike many times using all their hands and legs, but it seems Barret manage to parry and block all those blows. While Barret himself start to trade it off, easily overpowering both Sheila and Damnatio interm of strength and speed.
"How is this damn weakling?! My physique is beyond you mortals imagination Kakakakah!"
Damnatio backed away as he focus on his hand, an orange magic circle appear right in front of him. Barret turn around as he prepare to blocked it, but Sheila doesn't care and grapple Barret. Barret is quite surprise as he is upper body is being grappled and having difficulties moving. Damnatio focus his aim onto the demon as a spark of fire can be seen.

5 small fire ball start to launch toward Barret. Barret just smiles as he seems to happily taken all of those tiny fire balls to its eyes. As the tiny fire balls hit his body, it combust into a big explosion and turn into a fire flower. As it all bloom right on his body, but also dealing some burn damage to Sheila, but she seems to not mind it that much. Smoke start to came out from all over Barret body, as a green magic circle appear right below Barret.
[Tier 1 Wind Magic : Leap of Magic]
A burst of wind made Barret leap on the air, as Sheila proceed to german suplex Barret to the ground. Sheila focus most of her ether on her arm as she swiftly slam down Barret creating a big crater and a booming sound from the impact. Sheila tries to quickly get away as she feels something bad or ominous is about to happen. As Sheila get up, she could see a dark brown magic circle right below her and Barret, surrounding them completely.
[Tier 2 Hell Magic : Pit of Torture]
A burst of hellish spike protrude from the floor as it start to go for Sheila. As someone tug Sheila collar and pull Sheila away from the pit of spikes. It seems Damnatio is on time pulling Sheila away even though he got two holes on his left thigh and right stomach. Blood didn't even came out of it, as Damnatio flesh start to melts. Some of the spikes even hit Barret all over his body but somehow it doesn't affect him.
"Keh.. Keh.... Keh! Amazing! Not bad for a mere mortals!"
Barret stands up effortlessly even though there is a lot of holes all over his body. But it seems Barret regenerate easily and quite quickly reforming all of the missing flesh back in just a view second. While Damnatio struggle quite a bit standing up, and Sheila still filled with rage.
In a far distance between the backline and the frontline, Clara is all alone in the dark hallway with only a single torch as a light source and a missing limb. Suddenly she could see a light approaching her quite quickly, Clara take her bow and aim at the light source rapidly approaching her. Though Clara vision start to get fuzzy as she lost quite a lot of blood.
The light gets closer and closer, as Clara create a light blue with a bit of green magic circle. Although her aim is a bit shaky, Clara aim at the light and shoot her arrow.
[Tier 1 Particle Magic : Raindrop]
Clara let go of the string as the arrow shot forward. The arrow goes forward quite slowly as blue and green particle drop from the tip of the arrow. But the arrow doesn't seems to be going down anytime soon, it's as if the arrow is tracking whatever or whoever it's suppose to pierce.
The arrow keep going as it seems to hit something, but whatever or whoever the arrow hit doesn't seems to let out a single noise. As the light just keep going closer and closer and a laugh can be heard.
"Hahahah! So this is where you at eh Capn'?!"
The other person gasp "Oh my god! Captain are you okey?!"
"You're both late... Damn it..."
Standing tall beside Clara is Thorak and Freya, except Thorak is not standing tall. Thorak just smiles looking at his captain, while Freya is worried sick and went over to her immediately.
"Oh dear! Oh dear! What happen when we left you all alone?! Now you're missing a leg!!"
Freya quickly open her small bag that she always bring on her hips, and quickly patch up Clara correctly. Thorak also open a small bag on his hips and throw it onto Clara.
"There, that's a fine ale. Should get ya right back up Capn'!"
"Are you crazy?! This is not something you gave to someone who is in critical condition stupid dwarf!"
"Oh cmon! A sip of ale get me right back up ya know?!"
"Stop it?!"
Both Thorak and Freya start to fight between themself, as Thorak wanted to gave Clara his ale while Freya stopping him from doing so while also attending to Clara wound. Clara just laugh happily having a chill and fun vibe. But quickly Clara stop her laughter as she tries to get back up even with one leg.
"Wait captain! Let me help you and let us get out of h-"
"NO! Shelly and that arrogant guy is still there fighting with something beyond imaginable.."
"What?!" Thorak said as he tilt his head.
"There is a demon there! And a very evil and strong one at that!"
"Wait what?! A demon?! There is 2 demon here?!"
Just as Freya said so being quite surprise of knowing the fact that there is 2 demon in one dungeon. Clara quickly get up as Thorak help her, while Freya start to sweat profusely worried about the 2 of their party member that Thorak and Freya left behind.
Just in that moment all 3 of them could feel an intense blood lust aura coming from the deeper part of the cave. They're all sweating as they're unable to move from witnessing such dreadful aura. Clara became more and more worried about the condition of Sheila and Damnatio, as they all hurriedly went deeper.
Back on Sheila and Damnatio, they seems to be in quite the predicament. Damnatio breathing heavily with such wound on his body, while Sheila is still on bloodlust trying to kill Barret.
"Kah kah kah! Amazing, truly remarkable! Now... Let's start the real fight..."
All of the sudden a burse of magic and evil burst from Barret, filling up the cave in an instant. An evil ether beyond anyone would ever seen in earth. Sheila and Damnatio could feel the dreadful danger they are going to face, but Sheila doesn't seems to mind it much. Damnatio proceed to tap Sheila on the shoulder and whisper to her.
"Ms. Sheila.. Let's do this together, I can't move well with this wound that's why... I'll help from afar... I know this is shameless but.. Can you fight him close combat all alone for now?! I'll store up ether and-"
"No need to... I already planned to kill that damn fiend all on my own..."
"Heh alright then... GO!"

[Tier 2 Wind Magic : Elven Step]
Both magic circle seems to do the same thing as a burst of wind float and circling around Sheila. Damnatio is quite surprise looking at Sheila unique way of using magic.
"Never have I seen... That kind off way using that kind of magic... Hahah! Amazing!"
Barret tilt its head in confusion on what is going on with Sheila, as Sheila glare at Barret with cold eyes and intend to kill. Sheila point at Barret with her rapier. In a blink, Sheila suddenly appear right behind Barret, and dark blood start to gush out from Barret left shoulder.
"What the..."
"Yeah... The real fight... Had just begun!"
Sheila turn around to Barret with a cold smile. As Barret start to shiver for a moment, seeing Sheila suddenly change much faster and much more deadly.
"Now let the hunter... Be the hunted..."
"Keh... Go ahead and try then you damn weakling!"
Barret start to create a magic circle on his right hand, as a small dark brown magic circle appear. But before Barret could continue his spell, Damnatio starts to plunge forward on the magic circle as a small fire ball appear from it. Barret could sense the ether, but he is too late as a bunch of small fireball is already in front of him.
