Azura began to sing, the wounds the group had gotten on the way slowly easing. "I have your backs. Go!"
Silas and Corrin moved to the flanks of the Dark Knight, Corrin shifting into his dragon form and swinging his tail as Silas thrust his lance forward.
Jakob moved alongside Felicia, nodding in response. "Indeed. Let's strike from the back!"

"Alright, strike from all angles, we can do this..." Corrinne focused on the Dark Knight, trying to keep it distracted from the others...
However, the spectral rider broke off from its clash with the manakete, drawing its Calamity Gate in the direction of Felicia, Kaze, and Jakob, before lashing out at Corrin and Silas with its Dual Katana, narrowly avoiding the tail whip, seemingly not bothered by the three shuriken in its armour...
[Vallite's HP: 45 -> 37]
"Guh!" Felicia jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding the angry face, as Kaze rolled over, the purple face scraping his scarf, although it seemed as though the ninja had sustained no actual damage...
"... It's... adapting to whatever we throw at it..." Corrinne noted how fast it was able to switch weapons.

"What the?!" Corrin staggered backwards as he was struck by the blade, shifting out of his dragon form. "...Oh, that's just great. Alright, so what's the plan now?"
Azura's voice rang out. "Attack Stance! I think it's only using weapons best for someone initiating the attack. Try to throw it off-guard!"
Jakob nodded, before moving to Silas' side. "Shall we, then?"
"Alright!" Silas drew his sword, moving to attack, to clash with the Dark Knight. As he swung, Jakob threw his Barb Shuriken as a follow-up.

As the Dark Knight slashed its Steel Sword against Silas' blade, it draw back its hand upon the Barb shuriken embedding itself into its arm. Clearly, it had sustained more damage than before.
[Vallte's HP: 37 -> 25]
"Alright, looks like we're starting to hurt it! Kaze, go! Get your Dual Shuriken ready!"
"On it." As Kaze tossed the shuriken in question, Corrinne followed behind it, Yato drawn...
A Calamity Gate deflected the shuriken, but Corrinne's slash struck true.
[Vallite: 25 -> 13]

"Corrin!"
"Right!" As Corrin moved in, swinging his blade, Azura leaped over the manakete, spinning her Blessed Lance.
"Time for your final bow!" With a shout, Azura plunged her lance into the Dark Knight's chest, the critical strike hitting home and the knight starting to fade away, the Songstress leaping gracefully off.
Jakob dusted his lapel off before turning to where the Dark Knight vanished from. "...Hmm? Look. That Knight dropped his weapons."

"Well... wherever he is now, he's not going to be needing them, is he?" Corrinne walked over to the fallen weapons, picking up the Fimbulvetr tome and the Calamity Gate. "I think I still need to work on getting there, but I believe I'm the only one of us who can use tomes." She nodded to Corrin and Silas. "I'll let you two decide who gets which sword."
After settling who got what, the group descended the staircase, finding, as expected, another room devoid of any enemies and just a chest. "Whew... Kaze?"
"Of course." Click. Inside the chest was another badge, resembling a flower surrounded by thorns. "... Somehow, I'm getting the impression that this is going to be situational at best."
"I dunno, maybe it'll save us?" Felicia said. "Though... I am getting worried about our stave situation..." She held up her Mend staff, which seemed to be fading.

Corrin and Silas looked at each other for a moment before heading to the swords, Corrin picking up the Dual Katana and Silas the Steel Sword.
The manakete exhaled softly, sitting down as Kaze got the badge. "The last couple have been helpful so far, at least. I agree with Felicia, though... we only have so much healing available to us. Even with Azura's healing power, it can only do so much. We'll have to be more cautious going forward..."
"Even if someone's in danger, we won't be of any help to them dead," Azura replied. "We need to fight smartly."
