She quickly continued on wards, but the damage had been done. A lone mage, just arriving and about to pass through the corridor, had spotted the girl and immediately teleported over. Allison blinked and suddenly he was in front of her, the girl just barely dodging a well placed kick at one of her ankles but not the punch aimed at her left arm. Atha and Atma had apparently noticed that the other two mages of the group had been delayed, for suddenly they too appeared seemingly out of nowhere, their eyes immediately widening. Allison realized that most likely, this was one of the mages who was in charge of this entire affair. It was clear that his power was significantly greater than the others that she had faced so far. Atha and Atma immediately dashed forwards, their swords glowing and at the ready.
The mage was cloaked in black, grey, and white, and seemed to possess the ability to teleport wherever he wanted. Atha and Atma were having trouble cornering the man, but combined with Portha's onslaught of bullets, they were successfully able to land a few hits. Allison joined in, summoning her Shield of Mercy as well as her Nerve Cutting Blade. The mage seemed to sense that Allison was still not exactly primarily a combat mage, for he targetted the girl first, charging straight at her. Then all of a sudden, Allison had the wind knocked out of her and was sent flying forwards, not taking any damage because of the shield but still experiencing some unpleasant effects simply because the shield absorbed only damage or magical spells, not physical attacks.
The girl noted that thankfully, the man had taken reflect damage from her Shield of Mercy. Dashing forwards, she sliced at the man's nerves, trying to paralyze him with her blade. Although it was invisible, the man seemed to intuitively know where her nerve cutting blade was, for he managed to partially dodge, still taking damage but not ending up with restricted movement. Then, Atha and Atma dodged in, and combined with the reflect damage, Allison's slashings, Portha's bullet barrage, and their own previous sword attacks, it was enough to completely knock the man out. The group was able to continue on wards without too much trouble.
