Grabbing her attention and everything else's in the area in the process, good job, Eiji. Though with everything focused on the reckless moron on the ground for the moment, that at least gives Ankh plenty of space to throw fireballs at anything and everything trying to get to Eiji.

He even feels a little pleased with himself when he manages to catch that strange dress on fire--up until he realises that it doesn't seem to bother the phantom at all, and just means that her weaponized dress now has flames along with it. That did not go as planned. But at least he's still succeeding in keeping the monsters off of Eiji for now.
