"Brother, you're not going to hurt them, are you? They... they were good to me while you were gone."
Nivelle's trembling, anxious voice reached my ears clearly, even amidst the chaos of battle. She hovered in the air, her small body trembling as she watched the unfolding scene in terror.
"Don't worry, Nivelle," I said, my gaze never leaving the vines Rose sent hurtling toward me. "I'm just getting them out of our way. I won't truly harm them."
Nivelle continued to hover, watching me listlessly. She was torn. Part of her wanted to stop her brother, but the other part couldn't bear to oppose him. She had to support the only person she had left in this world.
I continued to incinerate the thorny vines surging toward me with the dark touch of my Chaos Flames. With my katana, I sliced through the X-shaped wind blades Rose sent at me simultaneously.
"Give up, Rose! What you're doing is pointless! You can't stop me!"
