"I'll kill you!" Riser screamed as an armor made of flames appeared around his entire body. That definitely was something he wasn't told about. Though with some interpretive thinking Ritsuka surmised that it was probably a buff. It was a logical deduction he inferred based on what he could see.

'I wonder if that will work? I mean it does do that and rewrite fate itself because of Moriarty's shenanigans.' Ritsuka mused as he kept dodging the flames. He needed to buy time until the other enemies were dealt with. It was still really warm around him and aside from hitting that Queen, he hadn't done any damage to Riser. Though… given the fact that from whatever information he was told, Riser's Peerage had actual combat experience. They had trained and fought more often than Rias' Peerage had. Ritsuka decided that maybe it was time to be more proactive in this fight.

Lobo spun around and without missing a beat jumped up towards Riser rolling like a buzzsaw once more. Riser, aware of the move, dodged out of the way sending his flames at their retreating form. It did nothing once more and Riser let out a roar of sheer hatred and forced himself to dive towards Ritsuka. He seemed to realize that his flames did absolutely nothing and that was the last straw. Ritsuka patted Lobo's head close to his right ear and immediately got his plan going.

As soon as Lobo hit the ground his paws tore through the ground spinning him around to face Riser once more. Tossing the blade in its jaw up to Ritsuka it prepared itself. As Riser got closer Lobo jumped once more and with a sickening crunch grabbed Riser around the torso letting his large maw sink his fangs deep into Riser's flesh.

Riser attempted to use his flames to escape. It did nothing to Lobo. Even knowing that Riser was too panicked at first from the sudden clenching of Lobo's jaw around his torso and let all his fire dance around the pair. They neither flinched or acknowledged the heat billowing from Riser.

"Let go!" Riser attempted to punch Lobo on the snout… which Ritsuka immediately shut down by slashing his wrist with one of the crooked swords letting his blood spill to the outside world. His kick was received with the same amount of force slashing away with the other blade across his knee.

Without a word, Ritsuka nodded towards a direction and Lobo took off with a screaming Riser in his jaw. The crunching of bone as Lobo chewed was hidden by the sudden crack as Lobo slammed Riser's head against one of the tree trunks they had passed at nearly full speed. Ash and flames splintered out of the wood and the pair raced off… causing as much pain as possible to Riser. Lobo made it a point to get closer to the trees as he was racing across the plains using them to his advantage to break the new target of his hatred… though Ritsuka's will kept it tame. By sheer force of will, Ritsuka urged Lobo from doing it constantly and only when Riser was trying to escape.

'Let's see where they are…' Ritsuka sent the Storch Ritters out letting them guide him to where his teammates were.

'This isn't good…' Kiba was forced back a bit further. They were not prepared for this fight as well as they were supposed to be. The original meeting between Riser and Rias was slated for June and not April… over three months of training that never came to be. Even so knowing that the rogue exorcists that were hiding in Kuoh probably would have made it happen much sooner than three weeks after the start of school once more.

It didn't help that his opponent was parrying all his strikes decently enough that he was considering going all out with Sword Birth. The only reason he hadn't was more of a pride thing. He wanted to see how far he could go without relying on his abilities. His brief yet intense training had forced him to confront just how dangerous it could get if he actually got into a serious fight. All speed with no power was an apt description of how he fought. It fit the role of a knight but he was inspired at this point to get better.

Karlamine used her dagger to keep Kiba's blade at bay, while her free hand attempted to slash at him with her broadsword. Taking inspiration from his training match Kiba lunged forward plowing his shoulder into her sending her skidding back. As much as his body screamed that it wasn't a fair thing to do, this wasn't the time to worry about this. If Riser won then he would be able to command them as well. That wasn't going to happen on his watch.

"And I thought that you would be an actual knight and fight fairly." Karlamine sneered clearly disappointed though her tone betrayed her. She wasn't that broken up about it as he thought she would be.

"Unfortunately, without more time I wouldn't give you that good a challenge at the moment. Also, unfortunately for you, I've been told that winning is my only goal for this match since the stakes are so high." Kiba replied back keeping his anger in check. It wasn't going to help at this moment. He needed to get ready to release Sword Birth.

"Yeah.. I know…" Karlamine sighed and without another word about knightly behavior lit her blade ablaze. The flames danced around the edges which Kiba shook his head at. She didn't know that flames were useless against him… it didn't help that he had something to stop flames as well aside from the potion he had drunk.

Kiba pulled out one of his demonic blades just as Karlamine swung her own blade. The flames immediately froze when they clashed. The flames literally froze in place, turning to ice and falling to the ground.

"What!?" Karlamine cried out before a swift kick to the stomach knocked her away. She was sent back a decent distance but it wouldn't have made a Rook move at all.
