Snippet #2820800

With the creature slipping through the cracks within the arena walls that Alex had provided for them it the man had finally lost his cool. That wasn't a good thing, stops him from acting rationally in a calm and calculated manner... Might need intervention. But first there was that creature doing... Something incredibly nasty again. By now Raudd was contemplating whether getting a sewer pump truck and using that to just remove that nasty ink stain would have been a feasible solution, not that it would do any good now that it was airborne.

As the dome exploded Zolya could barely react in time by activating the spell she had at the ready casting her very own though inferior version of Alex's barriers. Though one would only be able to tell by the kicked up dirt and dust giving the barrier a very light dusting of browns. As the dust cleared Zolya had a good view of the brain damaged Templar acting up towards Alex, before she could really figure out what to make of it Raudd spoke up, "Zolya, get out of there! Go back to the Garden I'll take care of these hotheads!" Which was enough to help her make up her mind and with her pack of animals in tow she made her exit as fast as the deer could manage.

From the sounds that came from the templars direction and the shockwave that followed her sword swing she seemed like someone completely different than before almost seeming possessed to some degree... Nope, nonono. Those are dangerous thoughts you know that, she's just in a frantic mania. At least the shockwave blew those nasty threads away, but the heat she now seemed to exude wasn't exactly pleasant like he was sitting in front of a blast furnace in the middle of summer.

Then she spoke up and her words or rather prayer sounded rather ominous given that she was looking rather directly in their direction. "You shouldn't pray to powers you don't understand." Raudd cursed under his breath before retracting the axe's energy blade, slicing a templar into shreds probably wasn't a great idea after all and he was going to need a stick to beat her with.

She launched another shockwave their way kicking up the dust and dirt that barely had any chance to settle from the previous shockwaves once more. While he wasn't able to intervene with the shockwave hitting Alex Raudd had read her follow through attack from her stance at the end of the swing. Jumping forward into the projected path of her sword strike he attempted to deflect it away from Alex with his shield. However even with him putting all his weight behind that deflect the strike still broke through and sliced him up pretty badly nearly taking off his arm and slicing through his torso pretty badly.

"I would step back if I were you, you know." He said jokingly to the templar knowing what was gonna come. It wasn't quite death by a thousand cuts... He was pretty sure this last one would have been fatal no matter what, but with all that stacked up damage he was kind of waiting for it to happen... Eventually. As his senses started to fade the last he heard was a dull thud, the sound of his body hitting the floor. No sooner than he had hit the floor did his body and his blood that was practically all over the place by this point began to dissolve into an all too familiar angry bloodred sparking mist.

Pooling together at the point he was just standing moments before in a matter of seconds revealing a perfectly intact Raudd as the cloud condensed back into the flesh, blood, metal and fabric that had been. Immediately after becoming aware of his surroundings Raudd took the moment of confusion he had clearly caused to lunge at the Templar attempting to give her a good smack with the blunt rod that was the unactivated axe, while at the same time throwing a ball of condensed angry red cloud to the creature in the sky intercepting a decent couple of threads it was trying to spread once again, setting them ablaze before dissipating into thin air. "Round two out of infinity, let's go."
