For the few men who followed their Don off the helicopters, an unsatisfying end befell them within the first thirty or forty seconds of their life. Firing their automatic weapons which had done nothing. Only Erebus seemed to harm the foe, and the most he did was weaken its power. They were slain, the pilots driving their vessels had taken off— removing their traces from this battlefield— but not before attacking and spreading as much led as possible, as if it woiuld do anything to harm the demon.
Contrary to the light damage the beast was feeling, Erebus had succeeded in at least bringing the monster down to a manageable level.
His poisoned arrow had landed true— the other not so much. Kurama did not even appear to feel such effects, causing Erebus a fair amount of irritation. He could expect nothing less of a 100m behemoth; quickly putting the thought of loss away, in exchange for bravado. It was soon his turn again, and after seeing the mages blitz and do some range of techniques, Erebus targeted the tails of the monster again.
Viewing with eyes on the Nine-Tails rather than the other mages, Ere watched as large hurdling rocks fly from the mountain-side, crashing into the beast’s body, as well as another creature— albeit Erebus couldn’t name the species off-hand, some kind of large toothed mammal. In the same moment, A bright light was glaring in the dim of his peripherals to which Erebus used the Chaos Claw to block out some of the invasive magic from affecting his person.
Where had that light come from? He wondered, clearly Kurama had as well— for in that moment it attacked the source of the warm light. Kurama’s rage blinded it’s defenses, for in trying to quell the Light Bearer, Kurama ignored the Silver-Haired warrior, who swiftly executed an attack against the fox’s foot.
Only— Erebus was a bit shocked. Where he remained pragmatic, he had to respect in the bravery of the mage.
Melee again? Erebus thought.
Surely the beast was just too big— able to step on and squash one of they had just gone running up & into it.
”There is a smoother course for victory.” he figured to himself and so audibly— found himself talking to any who had caught his words on the air. Had the case been they weren’t rival guild mages, then Erebus would have pushed out some suggestions for a victory, but frankly he knew all too well that those who survived would reap the greatest rewards. Such was war, and whoever wins war, profits greatly on the grief of the damned.
Erebus pulled back another arrow, and then another, and finally let the last one stroke the quiver. The influx of mana needed all at once forced his breathing to picken up, and he could feel the curse’s drain at his mana. The monster closed its eyes after attacking Noel, Erebus tilted his head, eyeing its disturbed and frantic movements, so it was
blind?
Erebus could see everything from his location. The Don quickly realized what may have happened— this added some foresight into that mage (in particular), just more for the Akudama to observe another day.
The Akudama Mercenary took an opportunity to glance up at the skies, his helicopters were now hundreds of meters in the distance, moving out over the Island’s port, they would be leaving the immediate area. But Erebus would see them again, when the time needed it.
They would head straight for the coordinates Erebus had given them, meanwhile, the force of infantry men did their best to follow on their orders at ground zero. Picking up wreckage, and in turn, helping wounded locals.
Erebus maintains his distance, shooting blast after blast until he has to evade. His arrows would cause thick blank ink to amass and glob up around the foe, constraining its movements. When finished, his finger quickly goes to his neck, and he begins to signal back to the Akudama Lizard. His eyes scanned for the demi-human through the hellish dusts of the battle.
“Techtile, I’ve got your six.” Erebus said, finally noticing the Akudama, near— what Erebus could only assume was the Joyan Empress defending them.
Interesting.
