The Director rushed toward them, her spear leaving a trail as it thrust forward with devastating speed.
Reinhard rushed forward as he slashed upwards with Zenuken. The weapons collided with a ringing force that sent vibrations up his arms. But the Director's spear didn't stop, it twisted mid-contact, redirecting around his blade to strike at his chest with the blunt end.
Reinhard's eyes slightly widened before the blunt end crashed into his chest.
The impact drove air from Reinhard's lungs, throwing him backward. He rolled backwards before pushing himself quickly, just as Marie's Longinus thrust toward the Director from the side.
The Director sidestepped without looking, the crimson-gold spear passing inches from her masked face. Her own weapon swept horizontally, the shaft catching Marie across the ribs.
Marie gasped, stumbling, and the Director's boot came up in a roundhouse kick which smashed into Marie's head before sending her crashing into the ground.
