Following Charles and Sophia, Sigmund eventually reached the portal back to the other world. Sophia seemed unable to pass it, which brought relief to the rook. At least that way, Medusa wouldn't be able to hinder him any more. However, that didn't mean their trouble was over yet. Two giants towered above them and one of them was ready to attack!

“It's just one thing after the other.” Sigmund murmured as he saw Charles jump into battle, too late to stop him from facing something swinging around a damn tree head-on. He took his iron viper once more and shot it straight at the red oni's nose.

“Don't get yourself killed!” Sigmund roared at his partner as he jerked the chain to disrupt the oni's balance so that Charles could ninja his way on top safely. He'd barely recovered from having to have dealt with his own spirit taking shape and apparently drugging him into obedience. Sigmund could still feel some of the effects lingering in his head, making him feel light as he pulled the chain. Did he have it in him to actually topple the giant? Sigmund had no time to wonder; he had two oni and a bunch of kappa to keep his eyes on.

“Watch your back, Charles!”

“Thanks,” Lux said to Maria and Salia as they helped him up. He showed off a slight smirk as he saw he had destroyed yet another golem, “I'm on fire today.” He nodded to the mess of clay and corpse. However, he noted Maria had already ran off. “Let's go.” Lux nodded at Salia, offering her his good shoulder to support her. After all, that kind of fall couldn't have been good for Salia's leg, Lux thought...

“We are compensation. We are greater than it's anger!” Sleipnir retorted towards Quartz, as the centaur fixed it's grip on the stonetooth sword that had cemented itself in the sand. Though Sutr's wake was a powerful attack, it prevented Eowyn and Sleipnir from moving. Though Quartz suggested they fought it alone, that would be difficult while they remained rooted. 

“The beast is exposed, lest you truly wish to deal with it's anger, kill it now!”
