Just as Shayla was about to strike her dagger into the devil's chest, its eyes snapped away. Her blade skittered away from it's mark, instead scratching only scratching the creature across the shoulder. Rather than the planned attack from Roshan, a complete and total stranger had raised their sword and captured the creature's entire attention. Although she felt glad for the help, she was beginning to realize that no normal attack would work. Although Shayla's blade had torn through a weak spot in the armor, the stranger's sword met no mark at all. It was almost as if the creature glided away from the attack, repelling it with motions so quick that even her astute eyes could not follow.

"No!" Shayla gasped, sparing a look for the newcomer. "I haven't got the slightest clue. This creature-!" But before she could finish her thought, the devil let out a scream that sounded completely inhuman except the strangled words 'Stop it!' buried within. Shayla stood confused by the sound. Did evil truly sound like that? Actually, the more and more she thought about it, the less devil this thing seemed...? No, that was a reckless thing to think now, letting her mind get ahead of her body. However, she did not raise her blades for another attack, instead keeping them defensively close, her eyes watching.

The devil on the other hand seemed to move with a speed that made no sense. The second the green haired woman attacked, some kind of switch flipped. It darted clear across the courtyard in a single second, its body a mere blur of light. Then, a second later, it darted back, making a swipe for her with its bare hands.
