Ivan, alongside Kaite and Tiberius, each struck a blow against the creature and the damage was clearly visible despite the being's dark aura. The electricity of Ivan's blade even made the creature's muscles jolt in pain, but something was incredibly off. Without a second to react, the creature made a swift move that sent Ivan back a bit and when he looked down at his sword, it was broken clean in two. [color=ed1c24]"Damn, that was my only good sword!"[/color] Though he didn't have time to worry about it as the creature was still standing. In fact, it was laughing, almost as if it enjoyed the pain. The creature then took the half of the sword that was stuck in it and pulled it out, grinning menacingly as it did so, what was this abomination!?!

With a few parting words the creature vanished in black smoke, the forest was back to its eerily quiet state. Ivan threw down the hilt of his now broken blade, he had more things to worry about, like the well being of his allies. He walked up to Zenovia in a calm but urgent manner. [color=ed1c24]"Are you ok? Is everyone alright?"[/color] He spoke the last question loudly so he could get a response from everyone.
