Zerueis' blade severed the beast's neural center no problem, sending it flailing about having a seizure as its body raced out of control. It screamed and howled, crashing into trees and flipping over as it slid away from the group.
Similarly, Umbra had no trouble at all finishing off the downed creature. But there was still plenty more, including the one that Danu had initially gotten a jaw hit on that has now gotten back on its feet and was about to resume fighting.
Danu struggles to free herself, and soon her free arm is finally captured by the beast leaving her seemingly defenseless. Its mouth comes down, as if to take the kill- when suddenly there is an explosion of white, and a smoldering half-carapice tumbling away as she lands on her feet again. Hopefully such a power surge wouldn't be too much for Rahizel to absorb, since he would almost certainly end up with anything that didn't become destructive power.
"Gross! GROSS! I HATE MUTANT BUGS!" She shouts and runs towards the injured one that she had hit before. Picking up a rock as she goes, she looks to crush its head before it is fully recovered.
Zeureis Whimpered slightly as the creature went wild, willingly letting herself tumble as the creature smashed into the first tree. She landed flat on her back, sliding a good 10 inches. She didn't move afterwards for now. Just laying there, twitching before she cursed in a scream "*%$#! " at the pain of the landing.
Momentarily though, she stood again despite the soreness. After retaking her blade she ran over and slowly worked on severing the other bug beneath Sandrise' entire head from it's body almost methodically. And with a bit of a struggle as it flopped and spun it's head about, it flopped down, and the body stopped struggling beneath the cat, doing little more than twitching as she released it.
Now relieved of her charge, Sandrise began curling back down and seeming to shrink as she disappeared beneath Zeureis' cloak once more. With a scowl from Zeureis at Rahizel, She ran off back towards town, to get Sandrise away from Rahizel before he killed her by accident. If it weren't for Zeurei, There would have been one more corpse already laying amidst them.
Possibly two. But who thought it worthwhile to think about such a thing, as Zeurei, freed of two shields was able to relax his focus slightly, although he kept it up for now, for Umbra's sake. He laid back, just looking up, he wished to be able to enjoy his current position, but he still had work to do, and it was still only early morning. Rolling over, he pushed himself up as he heard Danu scream something about bugs, and he smiled.
That was a familiar emotion. A flash of memory again, stunned him, Almost shook his attention, Umbra would feel that. "Apologies." His voice was low, but it still carried well enough to be audible even with all the action. A soft ringing was heard in everyone's ears as the blue faded again from Zeurei's eyes, the opal turned blue.
"But I have an experiment to run." As he said this the opal hid again beneath his robe, and he sat down again. If he was doing anything, it wasn't noticable, that is until a single spike shot from the ground through the already dead creature Danu had incinerated. "Close enough..." The spike seemed to dissipate into nothing rapidly afterwards, and Zeurei just relaxed focusing on keeping the shielding active now.
//I've just literally never been able to get critique from anyone really ever in my life other than what Shaadaris tried, don't worry about it Umbra. I get overly excited at the prospect of getting better.
