He did not wait for agreement. He surged forward, and Rin surged with him, the two of them driving straight at Belkuz through the storm of lashing chains.
Belkuz met them gladly, the chains converging, a dozen barbed hooks screaming in to tear them apart at once.
Korin threw himself across their path and caught the brunt of it on his mirror, and Full Return hurled half the chains back doubled into Belkuz himself, staggering the Apex ghost a single step.
Lily fell on him from the unseen dark, the Last Quiet driving both daggers into the back of his knee, and the Devil Ghost lurched, his footing breaking.
And Rin hit him.
Her Opening Strike landed full on his chest with the force of a falling pillar, and she chained Breakthrough straight off it, the second blow tearing clean through his grave-cloth and the ash-grey flesh beneath, cracking his guard wide open.
"NOW!" Erix roared.
Tenebria set her feet and went utterly still.
"The Still Hour."
