Sliding back, Desdemona winced in pain, putting a hand on her abdomen. She had a strong feeling that a punch wouldn’t work as an offensive maneuver, its focus was more to gather information on Nodah’s skills rather than injuring him.

During the counterattack, Desdemona managed to see a particular action Nodah does while he channels magic, the movement of his fingers. Whether it was for greater control or he couldn’t use magic without his hands, Desdemona figured regardless of its purpose she should aim to restrict any motions. “[i]The shield will probably stop bones from breaking, but that doesn’t mean I can’t cause pain.[/i]” moving into a position to leap again, she mumbled a summoning chant. A swarm of bug like creatures formed behind Nodah. They’re weak in strength, but if bunched together they can be a good distraction.

“[i]Surround him.[/i]” she telepathically sent a command to the bugs and they proceeded to fly closer to Nodah. Charging forward, Desdemona looks for an opening to grab his wrists also noticing the dagger in one hand.
