The arrows melted from the intense heat of the fire wall and failed their pursuit, but then returned to their viscous liquid forms and gradually created an open gap on the fire wall for her to pass through. As she watched him close his distance from her, the woman thought up a course of action, then lifted her hand up. Out of Nigel's own shadow, several dark hands started to grab him by his ankles and legs. Whilst he was being immobilized, the pool of sludge that was the homing arrows slithered towards Nigel at considerable speed before launching itself at his face, expanding to a size big enough to cover his entire face. Isaac, on the other hand, had to watch the sludge climbing up the carbon pillar and covering it as it made a head-on move towards its intended target. It also began breaking the pillar as it crawled up, which would cause it to crack, topple and fall, taking him with it, if he didn't do something fast.
