The beasts arrived. The smaller one, having avoided the flames, it leapt at Maria. She quickly threw one of her kunai into the worms mouth, ripping the creature in half. Turning her attention to what seemed to be the alpha-worm, she jumped down from the trees. After invoking her staff in a spell that will poison anything it hits, she ran towards the beast. The distance between her and the worm was greater than the distance between it and Azazel. Hopefully he would notice before it reached him. When she got halfway to her target, Maria jumped into the air and raised her staff above her head as to bring it down upon the monster. Her mind was blank during the decent, concentrating all power into the killing blow.
