Danu seems rather fearless here, despite having apparently fallen for a trap. Her confidence at surviving the encounter almost borders on arrogance, as she keeps her shield ready but changes her sword stance to avoid accidentally striking the barriers.
"The loss of those four doesn't matter. This wretched creature you're so intent on protecting is still nothing but a pathetic fragment. You're a fool to talk so arrogantly, now that I'm no longer spread thin."
It raises its free arm and a line of crystals bursts out of the ground, quickly advancing towards the three.
Umbra attempts to throw up an ice wall, but it gets shattered by the oncoming wave. He knocks Danu and the Avalian construct out of the way, trying his best not to hurt them in the process.
The 'Remnant' reappears where the wave meets the wall and lunges towards Danu with unnatural speed.
// See, here's the thing about the Remnant that I've already alluded to. It's not really important to not outright say it, now that it doesn't matter as much.
// While its army is large, it has to keep some amount of manual control over each unit, hence why they all speak in Zalgo with black text. That's why they're normally weak enough to be obliterated with a few hits or one really strong one.
// Now that it only has to focus on one vessel...
// Well.
// They might be in for one hell of a fight.
and this isn't even the "final boss"
Danu jumps clear as Umbra tries to get her out of the way, but had only barely gotten back to her standing when the Remnant charges full force at her.
She raises her shield and braces to take the hit, confident that this fight would soon be over. So far nothing she had encountered on the planet had actually been strong enough to give her cause for concern.
Taking the hit on her shield, she turns to dissipate the momentum of the impact, her blade whirling around to attack her target from behind using his own momentum to drive it.
