She hovered above the ground a little, purple energy whoosing around her like a shield from ranged attacks.
Aster, Lily and Zoe stepped towards her, faces shrouded in a mad anger.
Zoe instantly launched a flurry of attacks at Bria by twirling her scythe and pointing it at the floating Bria, it only grazing the whirling shield of energy around Bria.
"You'll pay for this!" Aster shouted, launching up after being boosted up by Lily's powers, magic flowing through his sword as he thrusted it forward into the shield, dispersing it as she stumbled backwards from shock.
"DEATH SHOT!" She yelled out as the weapon at her side generated a massive beam above her, or well, way above her. Lily stared in shock, Zoe was frozen in a combination of fear and shock.
Aster gripped his sword handle, trying to regain control of his emotions that were, currently, in all different places. Fear, Shock, Anger, Determination.
"I won't let you...DO THIS!!" He rocketed upwards, as Bria made giant rocks float up in his way but he just kicked off of them and straight towards her, sword charging with insane blue crackles of energy, sword alight with energy also.
Bria looked irritated and fired her beam of energy at Aster.
The boy knew it was a death guarantee to be hit by it directly, so he put his sword into a downward sheath position, as blue energy clouded around Aster, and a massive shield formed as he now stabbed his trusty blade like a lance into the air, blocking the beam entirely as it reflected off the shield and down into the floating rocks.
Aster's eyes glinted a dangerous blue, and lightning crackled around the shield as it now formed from the defensive weapon into a massive sword, a dark blue, lightning covered version of his own blade.
"Lightning Driver." He now launched this blade at Bria, who tried to form a shield to block it, but alas, it wasn't powerful enough, exploding as soon as it touched her hand, and she was no more, to them, it seemed so, atleast.
"..." Lily and Zoe were shocked, Aster came down via skidding down the rocks and floating down.
"We defeated one...and god, did she cause some damage." He shuddered at the thought of the other elite servants of the demon king: and how much damage they could do.
"Then, let us bid farewell to Rio and be off." Zoe said, who now, was viewed as a good companion.
"Yes, I agree!" Lily nodded energetically.
"Me too, good thinking, Zoe." Aster smiled, sheathing his now normal blade by his side. He now thought about how much power he really contained and how many secret abilities he had yet to uncover.
Zoe and Lily had already started walking off, and he quickly followed.
