~Enemies' Turn~
"I'm not that easy to beat, boy! Come on, you little SHIT!"Orobas goes for an uppercut to knock Keith's lights out, rushing at him with surprising speed and strength for a man who looks old even for a demon.

The uppercut jars Keith a little bit, but not enough, not nearly enough. Vampire physiology being what it is, it wasn't that easy to disrupt a vampire, even if you had demonic strength, and so all the uppercut does to Keith is stagger him for a brief moment. His hand still manages to grab onto Orobas' outstretched arm in the chaos, and Keith's elbow finds its mark, smashing Orobas in the nose, sending a spurt of blood gushing out. Keith attempts to lift Orobas over his shoulder, like all the other wrestling moves he'd used, hoisting him up.
However, that particular manoeuvre had relied on his opponents being a fair bit smaller and less muscular than he was.
Orobas was not more muscular than Keith was, but taller. He was, all in all, far bigger than most of Keith's Japanese opponents.
The old demon recovers from the initial elbow to the face in time to stop Keith's attempt dead, and wrenches Keith's head into a headlock, pulling Keith's head down using his pure weight. Indeed, Keith finds his hold suddenly quite reversed on him, with Orobas attempting to find the right grip, the right spot to lift
Keith up and visit his own medicine upon him.
"Don't you try that Revivian wrestling crap on me, boy! Who the HELL do you think you're trying to pick up, huh?!"This seems like a pickly situation, except....

Lycia is defeated!
Lycia seems to purposely whiff his attack on Asuna; whether it was out of weariness, fear of Asuna, or just plain exhaustion with this whole mess, Asuna can't quite tell. Asuna, having very little mercy, albeit enough not to kill Lycia, obliges and "simply" sends him flying with a single punch, sending the werewolf skittering towards the palace wall. Orobas takes one moment to look away at his injured partner.
"Lycia! You pricks-"But that moment is all Keith needs.
Landing a kick on Orobas' leg, the vampire manages to break out of Orobas' grasp, smashing another elbow into the old demon's face as he pulls himself back to his feet. This time, with some difficulty, he pulls off the Mountain Hammer, for the first time (that he remembers) in over twenty years.
Not for the first time, Keith has regained the glory he had as the American Wolfhound.
Orobas is sent crashing towards the ground, the air knocked out of him, along with his remaining fight. The old demon grunts, lying prone on the ground as Lycia stumbles up towards him, limping along and wrenching his partner onto his back, spitting out the lockpicks he was holding earlier. The old demon turns to Keith weakly, glaring at him.
"You....haven't seen the last of me.....boy. I'll be....getting my rematch soon enough...."Lycia shuts him up by limping away with him, towards the castle's exit, offering Jarvis and Asuna an apologetic look as he does so. The other demons with Orobas look at each other, before following suit, leaving with their vanquished boss.
You have a feeling that really isn't the last you'll be seeing of him.
The leading demons of the expedition finally take notice of what's going on.
"...was that...of course. I saw this coming the whole time. Orobas Centimani Lucifea. How typical."
"Lucifea? He was....one of Lucifer's? I had assumed that his true alleigance was with Lord Mammon.""He insisted on going on this mission hoping to find some vampire. I protested, but Lord Mammon insisted that I bring as many skilled fighters on this mission as possible. How frustrating. I knew of his tendencies already, and only took him against my better judgement.""....I see. Orobas Centimani Lucifea......how the great fall.""At the very least, I hope he did something useful before he and his mutt failed to do anything of importance."Orobas and Lycia are defeated!x5 Lockpick acquired!400 rhea acquired!Meanwhile, the demons in the kitchen realise what, exactly, they're up against, and act accordingly.

Kazuto is forced onto his knees, and with him incapacitated, it doesn't look too great for the succubus sisters in the kitchen. At least help seems to be on the way, and he's taken care of many of the demons already in there.
