At first, the Hellfire member was shocked to see them jump over the bridge.

"Ha! They'd rather end their lives by their own hands than let us have some fun!" One of them yelled.

"No you fools they're getting away to the bridge below. Everyone, follow!"

One by one, the members would jump off and try to land back on the bridge below. Yasu looks behind them and sees they all managed to make it on and follow.

"Darn, I was hoping they would miss and fall." She would complain. Holding onto the White Reaper tightly as he continues to carry her down the bridge. With the only lighting, they have for themselves as the blue flames on his coat. But then, another lighting source began to go into view.

It was the Hellfire members and their fire attacks charging. They were getting ready for another barrage. The White Reaper dashes forward even faster than he previously was going. The members would be mere specks in her sight.

"Woah! I never knew people can even run this fast!" She would shout as the wind swished past her ears with a rough roar.

He would abruptly stop causing her body to rock. Using the momentum, he helps her onto her feet and points to the side of the bridge.

Off to the side, there would be a strange pillar that the group of Hellfire members was just standing on. Upon closer inspection, it looked to be made of some black stone.

A vague memory of Yasu's father describing her of some of the tough minerals that he has come across, he would mention a type of stone that the demonés used exclusively for themselves: Onyx.

Looking farther below, the pillar stretches as far down as she could see with the light from the White Reaper's coat.

The sound of scuffling boots would disrupt her looking. Following the White Reaper's instructions, she would leap to the pillar as he would remain on the bridge, facing the Hellfire members head-on. And just in time.

One of the Hellfire members attempted to leap right at her, but the White Reaper quickly gets in the way and introduces the member with Yasuline's sword.

"Gah! Another one down! Focus on distance!" The leading member would inform. The entire group would halt and simultaneously fires their next wave of Helix Hellfires.

[Hellfire Members A to E uses Skill Series: Underworld Union, Assault Skill: Helix Hellfire.]

The White Reaper was obviously the biggest threat and without needing to be told, all aimed specifically at him. But that was what he was waiting for.

With the perfect angle and not the extra weight to account for, he was able to properly deflect each and every one of the attacks at the middle of the bridge right in front of him.

[The White Reaper counters with the Weapon Skill: Element Blade. Attacks Reflected.]

As soon as he saw the floor begin to get uneven, he would allow just one more to break it. The next set would strike the spot just in behind it and so on and so forth.

Like a domino effect, the bridge begins to break and fall, with the momentum going directly toward the Hellfire members.

"That crafty ...!" One of the hellfire members yelled out. But the sound of the bridge collapsing conveniently overshadowed his choice of words for innocent Yasuline.

Quick, back to the top path!" The leader shouted. Even pointing up above them.

They all start to jump up to the sides to reach the ends of the upper bridge, but then.

Blue flames begin to ignite suddenly at the edges. Instinctively, the ones the jumped up first would let go. Falling, they would hit the others that had just jumped.

[Round Five. The White Reaper's Turn. Uses ... Series. Passive Skill: Wildfire.]

They all yell as they fall. This starts to cause a panic among the ones that haven't dared to jump yet. As they turn to the one leading about what to do, some of them begin to fall under the crumbling bridge. Their attempts to save themselves would only be fruitless as the portions of the bridge they grab onto also fall.

"Master Apophis, I have failed my mission for you. Please forgive your foolish ." She would begin to mumble to himself as he seems to give in to the defeat and stands still until the path under him would collapse and he would fall to the abyss below.

[Hellfire Members Defeated. EXP gained.]

From the onyx pillar, Yasuline would see that all the hellfire members seemed to have fallen down or would try to run from the collapsing bridge. Not even trying to reach the higher bridge above them either of fear of the blue flames or they couldn't have enough acrobatic skills to reach it.

"Wow, you really handled that well. More than I would have imagined." Yasuline would comment with a relieved smile as she patiently waits at the pillar. The White Reaper would nod at her compliment and jumps over to her.

He would return her sword. During the exchange, the low glow of the markings would fade out and the blade wouldn't be glowing anymore. "Guess that's the end of that. Didn't even know it could do this! I'm going to have fun learning all I can about it." She would say, all giddy in the amount of time she'll likely put into learning everything and mastering the unique weapon.

Putting her back onto his arms, he would leap high into the air and reaches the upper bridge and the two would begin to continue their route to the Castle exit.
