Brone gripped the handles of his axes tightly as the three of them neared and eventually reached an open cavern. The area was illuminated by the light of lacrima crystals, however time had caused them to be coated in a layer of dust, dimming the light, but it was enough to be able to witness the abomination that was running towards them.
As Yuurei had suggested, they all spread out, Brone dove out the way as the large creature ran passed and tackled the light mage into the wall, causing the cavern to shake, debris along with a few small stalactites fell from the ceiling. The strength of the monster was hinted to them, now they needed to be cautious when facing this thing.
As the experimental vampire turned about, looking for the target, Brone knew he had to draw the thing's attention in order to prevent it from going after Kailani, "Oi, ugly!" the dwarf called, catching the monster's attention. It's red pupils lay within the black of it's eyes locked onto the dwarf as he began to move towards him.
Brone would start running towards one end of the cavern, making sure the monster had Kailani at it's back, away from it's attention. When he was sure the monster was close enough after a spring, Brone would lunge forward, tumbling beneath the large body of the creature, once he passed the dangerous claws, the dwarf would get back onto his feet and quickly swung his steel axe along the belly of the monster, though it felt like he was hitting bone, the monster screeched, letting him know that the hit did indeed make contact. Afterwards, Brone continued his momentum and ran out from underneath the monster, who's left back leg nearly stomped onto the dwarf, but he was lucky to be out of range just in time.
