The sound of metal grating came next. As Arthur skidded back on his heels, his eyes found Emilia in the cage, unconscious. She was in his view.

That much was enough.

A streak of lightning scored along the monster's arm, against its spear and towards its head in one gesture. Arthur became a natural disaster in a flash, Excalibur drawn and ripping through the creature like a buzz-saw, spun with a dozen slashes that were thrown in that moment. Stepping off of the monster's face, Arthur turned on his heel and swung to rip apart the top of Emilia's cage to release her immediately after, diving down to catch her once she was freed.
