>Move and have faith she will do the same. If it does not seem like it, try to erect a shield in front of her.
>Disengaging from Lillian, you sprint to the right to get past the edge of the cone of flame. The miko does not in fact move, but she doesn't stand there helpless either. The big youkai brings her glowing arms together and her magic surges. The blue glow vanishes from her arms and a shimmering barrier seemingly comprised of bubbles appears a couple feet in front of her. The flame and the damp barrier collide with an evil sounding hiss and a gout of steam. Lillian's shield seems to be doing its job, but since you're not sure how strong the muscular youkai's magic is, you set up a blue shield of your own behind hers, in the event hers fails. The shrine maiden looks your way and gives you a quick nod of thanks.
>Before the steam cloud dissipates completely, the youma bellows and starts to charge you again, but doesn't get more than two steps ahead before another one of White Roses discs comes flying in from the left, striking the brute in the side of its head. The youma staggers to the side under the heavy impact of your partners' attack, and you spy another weakening of the blackness surrounding the youma's core of darkness.
>The agile can youkai lands on the ground to Lillian's left after thirty feet away, watching the youma try to get its feet under it again. "It's head." she mutters before looking back and forth from where Makie is and you. "Aim for its head! It's soft there!"
>With an enraged roar, the centauric youma turns on Rin and unleashes another of its weapons. The yellow line on its horse torso splits open, like a second mouth, and a quartet of yellow tentacles fly out of the orifice towards White Rose.
