Back in the Store, Stolas and Koske would clash upon the entrance of Juna's head, with Stolas taking aim and firing, whilst Koske parried the stars with his blade, watching it be heat up through such contact. Once the stars were sent, he'd breathe down his blade and allow it to take a colder temperature, before stabbing into the ground and causing a massive set of spikes to emerge in a small radius. Stolas would shoot down to set up such stars as a platform to block the spikes' path and send himself flying, letting him create another constellation, Aquarius, to flood the jagged edges and melt it down. In response, Koske would shatter the ice and let its temperature flow freely, chilling the atmosphere and lowering Stolas' body heat, forcing him to retreat back. As he did, he'd realize that one of his legs was struggling to stay still, shivering from the cold. "Ice mag-g-gic, huh?" Stolas asked, his beak desperately poking off any small frost left behind.
"Mhm. Frozen... like Pain de Poissons. You should be careful..." An omen towards Stolas, yet the Avian refused to let himself be pushed back, as he'd be quick on casting Zodiac Man and allow his body to heat back up. Furthermore, he was also able to notice that his body was giving back energy after dealing with such chill, making him realize his Ice Magic was preserving his body in a way where, if he was not careful, could cost him his magic. "And thus... the fish is prepped. Parfait..." Another mighty swing from the greatsword, cleaving the ice and launching them as projectiles, forcing Stolas to evade and fire shots from a distance. As he did so, however, Koske was quick on expanding his orb-like hand, splitting off to three segmented claws, as the ice began to shatter and expel his magic out further, blanketing the Avian's area in such cold. Zodiac Man, while strong and melted off most of the ice, was starting to show immediate wear, a sign for him that this style of magic has been harnessed in a way where it can ignore its own limitation of such shifts.
"If I'm going to be the fish for your dinner, at least let me use your body as the fireplace to cook it!" Stolas demanded as he'd rush forward, blasting down such small clusters of stars, expanding them to take the forms of Canis Major and Minor, letting them swarm on both sides and try to bite off the Nutcracker's arms. In response, however, Koske would hoist up his blade and spun himself, his feet dragging across the area to make the flooring slowly into an ice rink, skating around, dancing in such fluidity, as he'd curve his blade to catch the Canis' by the stardust teeth and spun them back to the ground, before sliding over and attempted a beheading to the Avian. Stolas would try to set up his stars as a wall with Aquarius, and while such a feat would work, the force behind the blade was enough to blast him into a wall, cratering it. Blood was spat out, but Stolas refused to let himself be bested by such tricks.
Meanwhile, Solomon would cast his crown of thorns, tossing them like discs in order to slash at Juna, hoping one of them would land on her body so she could be bled out and weakened. Juna, however, was quick on sending her clock hands, catching them and pinning them at the floor and roof, using the newly built pillar to swing around and strike across the child in his jaw, sending out a third clock hand from her other arm to slash at the child's stomach, a gashing wound left behind. The Biblical Magician would struggle to keep himself up after such an injury, raising up Shady to block out whatever attack she had next while he'd set up Garden of Eden to heal from his wounds. When he tried such a spell, however, his body would begin to reset itself, going in reverse of such movements, before being clocked against his face once more, then skewered through a hand across his abdomen. "Coo~! You are a tenacious one! You liked what I did? How I caught you? Marvelous, isn't it coo~!?" She'd ask, her voice in pure jubilation as Solomon would set up two attacks, a Plague of Locusts, and Gnats that would break the mind, sending both towards her and invading underneath her sleeves. She'd laugh as she'd pull away, watching the bugs keep their attempts of festering into her body, as Solomon pushed on, another two spells, a Plague of Fire and Hail, and Might of Samson, to try and strike her down whilst Shady wrapped around his body to prevent further damage.
As soon as he tried to attack, however, she was elsewhere. One moment she was stumbling, the next she was right back up, arm raised high, as her head was sent out to try and take another bite.
A surprise attack that forced Shady to yank him down, though still connecting his attack onto her. Alas, all it amounted was destroying the very bugs underneath her clothes, sparing her from the first assault. "Quit doing that!" Solomon demanded, Garden of Eden casted to heal his injuries as he'd sick Shady to swipe at her legs.
"What? My Magic? I thought you were liking it!" She'd question, somehow taking a sadder tone as she was swooped off her feet, before sending down two hands, one on each, to pin herself up and spun around, landing a heavy kick up across his chin, letting the boy fly and crash straight into a shelf. Another hand was sent, trying to aim for his heart, coupled with her head lunging forward to try and catch him if he tried to evade. Instead, Solomon was quick to set up a barrier, blocking both attacks, inverting it in order to capture her and let the lights dance, a shadow made that would let Shady slip under and try to attack back. Juna merely speared into the ground once again to boost herself up, whilst snapping her fingers and causing a small part of the barrier to begin its detonation, almost as if it was already charged. "Coo~! C'mon! Do better! Try harder!" She'd goad, circling around Shady from above, waiting for the light to envelop.
KA-BOOOOOOM!!!!!
