Corrin fell back slightly, letting Azura's healing aura start to work on his injuries from the axe. He gave the Songstress a thankful nod, slowing his breath to try and recover.
"They're acting like promoted units... but they're not. How odd..." Jakob hurled his Barb Shuriken at the General, catching it as it bounced back with a grimace. "Certainly strong enough to act as promoted units at least. This bodes ill."
"We need to step it up, too, then. It's a good thing we've been able to get some of our old strength back, in that case." Silas split from Guard Stance with Kaze, following up Jakob's strike on the General with his sword, taking advantage of the Dual Naginata's weakness against swords.

"When in doubt, hit them hard. If they get up..."
Corrinne followed up on Silas's attack by lashing out at the Knight with her tail, causing it to dissolve upon impact. "You just didn't hit them hard enough."
Felicia blocked an arrow from the Dual Yumi with the Votive Candle, before switching to her Flame Shuriken to return fire. She caught it on the rebound with minimal issues. "They seem to be behaving normally, though. Most bowmen don't have much magical resistance..."
Kaze broke his parry, and before the spectral swordsman could react, the ninja's blade cut through it.

"Right!" Once he felt that he'd regained enough strength, Corrin leaped back into the fray, striking down another Samurai with a critical blow. Jakob and Silas finished off the remaining Outlaw, and the group continued on down.
[Pit of 100 Trials: Floor 45]
Corrin had shifted back to his human form as they got a look at their opponents... mixed foes. Steeling himself, the manakete shouted, leading the charge into the room, prepared for another battle...
[Skip ahead a few floors?
->
-> No]
[-> Get on with it!]
Needless to say, while courage in the face of adversity is a good way to keep morale high, it tends to have negative impacts on one's health. While the group was successful in their battles on 45 and 46, it took its toll on their vitality.
[Pit of 100 Trials: Floor 47]
Corrin panted heavily, leaning against the wall as they entered the next room. "Gods, I'm looking forward to floor fifty..."
Azura could only nod in response.
[HP totals:
Corrin: 14/32
Azura: 17/21
Silas: 20/45
Jakob: 16/32]
Jakob adjusted his collar, a frown etched on his face. "Hff... let's see what fresh hell awaits us here, then..."

"Kaze, you are as fast as the wind. Please learn to control said wind."
[HP totals:
Corrinne: 12/33
Kaze: 20/30
Felicia: 18/29]
Corrinne tore off part of her already-tattered cape, applying it as a crude bandage to the gash on her head. He had yelled at Felicia for trying to waste uses of her Mend staff on her; she'd just let Azura's power heal her slowly. Still, at Kaze's insistence, she had pulled back, Disrobing Gale in hand.
To start off this party, the manakete launched a blast of magic into the room.
"... You have GOT to be kidding me!" She sidestepped the retaliating arrow. "Look at that! How can they even load?!"

Corrin just let out a rather heavy sigh, drawing Yato and blocking another incoming arrow with the blade. "Armored archers? Gods, now I've seen everything."
Azura felt a slight prick of concern at the back of her head as the manakete said that, but she said nothing else, taking cover behind Silas and letting her healing aura continue to work.
The Paladin spoke up after. ""This might not be so bad though. They're sluggish and they only have bows with them. Get in close and they won't be able to fight back!" With a shout, his horse reared up and Silas went in on the closest Bow Armor, swinging his sword down.

"Armored archers. What's next? Smallclothes armor?"
Corrinne followed behind Silas, making her way towards the next Bow Armour. For the shout that she gave earlier, they were more bark than bite, it seemed. Once she was close enough, she whipped open her tome, blasting it into the wall. "No magical resistance. Hey Jakob, imagine that. Maybe that'd be you."
Felicia set down the Votive Candle, melting into the room. A flaming shuriken landed in the back of another, the maid quickly backing off. This was likely the one time anyone advocated her attacking an armoured foe at close range.
Kaze knocked the bow out of the hands of another Bow Armour, examining the next floor...
It wasn't pleasant to look at

Jakob grimaced at Corrinne's comment as the last Bow Armor fell. "Kh. Perish the thought, Lady Corrinne. I wouldn't be caught dead in something like that."
[Pit of 100 Trials: Floor 48]
Silas joined Kaze in looking to the next floor. "...What the hell am I looking at?" He honestly wasn't sure.
Corrin sheathed Yato, walking down to the next floor with the others close behind. "If this is anything like the last sets, this is going to be a floor with an unusual magic effect on it... stay sharp." There was nothing that could have prepared him for what was going to happen.

"... It feels normal for now, but give it a m- AUGH!?"
Kaze clenched his head. A splitting headache suddenly came over him.

"Kaze! Are you- gah!" And now it was Felicia's turn to get a splitting headache.

"Ghk! Wh-what just... nngh!"
Corrin grit his teeth as he suffered the splitting headache as well, nearly dropping to a knee.
[Corrin

"Nngh!"

"... That was... unpleasant," Corrinne muttered, shaking her head. She drew Yato. A surge of energy was flowing through her body, a primal power...
With a jumping slash, she cut through a Mercenary as though it was rice paper. "... That's not normal."
"Ah, Silas, look out!" Quickly grabbing the Paladin by the arm, Felicia forced him behind her as she stared down a Diviner. She reached for her Votive Candle, a gleam in her eye...
"You're just a stain!" The improvised dagger left behind a trail like moonlight as it flew by, burying itself in the spellcaster's body.
[Luna!]
Kaze followed up on Felicia's strike. He didn't bother to line the shuriken with poison; it had escaped his mind despite being almost second nature by now. It whipped by at a fast speed, ending the Diviner's life upon impact.

Corrin barely had a chance to react as he was assailed by a Samurai; the sword grazed his size, rivulets of blood dripping from his fresh wound. [HP: 6/32] "Augh! Rrrgh..." A purplish aura swirled around him as he gripped Yato tightly... "You won't stop me!"
[Vengeance!]
With a roar, Corrin jumped into the air, before splitting the invisible sword-wielder in two with a single strike. "Wh... holy..."
"Lord Corrin, pay attention!" Jakob grimaced as he shoved the manakete to the side, taking a shot to the shoulder from an arrow. "Nngh!" [HP: 8/32] As he swung his dagger out to return fire, a glowing trail followed it, warm like sunlight.
"I'm afraid this will be messy!"
[Sol! Critical!]
As the dagger buried into the fading enemy's body, Jakob felt his wounds healing and his body re-energizing. "...I do believe I've figured out what happened to us in this room..."
[HP: 22/32]
Azura helped Corrin back, letting her passive healing work on his body... at the least, she thought, that hadn't changed at all.

"Please tell me this is almost over..."
Corrinne swatted a lone Ninja off to the side with Yato, following up on the attack with a swipe to the chest, the shuriken-wielder dissolving. "Please tell me we can get to whoever's in danger soon." She barely dodged a spear, yelping.
Kaze sprung into action, a gleam in his eye...
[Nohrian Trust!]
[Luna!]
[Sol!]
"It ends here!" A shuriken, trailing with a heavenly light, whipped by, piercing the General's armour, Kaze's wounds slowly disappearing. The armoured foe staggered in place...
"Got it!" A fiery shuriken followed, dissolving the General's body on impact.

Silas looked over at the Master Ninja with an amazed expression, before giving him a grin. "That was cool, Kaze! Is the room clear?"
Azura stepped forward, looking around... "I think so. Let's- Ghhk!"
Her words were interrupted by a Mercenary that had gone unnoticed slipping past, his blade slashing across the Songstress. Blood flew from Azura's mouth as she staggered backwards... the blow had hurt far worse than she'd been expecting. [HP: 1/21]
"AZURA!"
With a staggered breath, the Songstress grasped her Blessed Lance, and thrust it forward, piercing through the Mercenary's head with little issue, tearing through the quickly-fading soldier like a heated knife through butter.
"Hhhggh... s-shall we... continue on?"

"... Let's..."
Corrinne kept in front of Azura, the group letting out a collective sigh of relief upon exiting the room. "Well... just one more floor and hopefully to the west? Kaze, what're we up against this time?"
Kaze leaned toward, raising an eyebrow...
"... I can't tell. It doesn't seem to be armed, but it's not defenseless..."
"... I guess I'll lead. Brother, Silas, get ready to- AUGH!!"
Two rapid punches nailed Corrinne, who stumbled back, barely maintaining her balance...

"Urgh, if it isn't one thing, it's another, I swear- Silas!"
"On it!" The Paladin quickly moved between the twins and their opponent, raising his shield just in time to take a kick to it, then a punch... then another pair of punches that slipped past his guard. "Augh! What kind of fighting is this?!"
Jakob flung his Barb Shuriken at the Grappler, grimacing as the blow didn't seem to do as much damage as he'd hoped. "I don't know, but we'd best figure something out quickly!"
[Silas
HP: 20/45 -> 17/45 -> 14/45 -> 11/45 -> 8/45
Corrin moved in, landing a blow with his blade, and ducking under the counter-punch thrown his way. "Keep the pressure on! Whatever this soldier's doing, they have to be attacking to strike that quickly!"
