Everything seemed to be not what Magnus assumed. Not only did the bug chime in, but so did the disgusting sack of skin. It's breathing became very... strange, stranger than what it had said in response to the metal man's, Xander's, and the insect's conversation. Magnus was to be sure to be careful with this plethora of unpredictable, strange abominations. It really wasn't the first time that he had to make this decision, Merkadia most definitely loved it's unimaginably terrible biological designs. The trumpeting ended, and thus, the arena-fight was heralded. The electronic locks on all the cages were deactivated, and hell with it's gladiators were released. Advents horrific beasts flooded onto the shining bodies of the Scalpaleon elite, the lone human went on to this own accord and the sleek-skinned man was no where to be seen. Magnus took his first offensive approaching the only moderately protected mantis creature that he had converse with earlier, an easy target if he could get his hands on it. Yet, his legs seemed to betray him, standing completely still and preventing him movement. A tail, green, slimy, and scaled, wrapped itself around the Steel Demon's mode of transportation, keeping him in place and almost wrapping around him like a boa. An Advent beast grinned as it slowly killed it's valiant prey. Almost as slowly came the pain, and then the burst of anger in Magnus's mind. A release of chemicals propelling his body into a frenzy he never willed to happen, an unnatural shift in power and emotion that the terrible creature never saw coming. The tail became strips of meat as Magnus tightened his muscles and brought his gigantic claws into the inside of the creature's fleshy extension. Viscera sprayed, coating the angered giant in a metallic-like red. An irony taste came to his lips as he brought the limping body of the snake-humanoid upwards, and started his own constriction. His large metal palms compressed the reptile's puny head, a horrible and crowd-pleasing death that his master's willed him to do. After he had destroyed this beast, he knew many awaited.[color=6ecff6][i] "So much for being careful..."[/i][/color]
