Shax's laughter only boomed louder as Tomas crashed into the tree, though a good wave of confusion did filter into her mind when she noticed he wasn't cut in half. For that matter he didn't even seem to be bleeding from where she hit him, but as he stood his posture told her that she had still managed to injure him. Her laughter stopped but her grin remained, the top of her blade scratching along the ground as she dragged in back to her side, standing it up. The man called out to her, telling her that he didn't want to fight, to which the Demoness replied to by barking out a loud 'HAH!'.

"Flee if you can, not-human! Just expect my blade sinking into your back as you-" Shax cut herself off before finishing her sentence, having been distracted by a sudden... Arrival. Some sort of creature, short and odd-faced, had run into the back of her opponent and fallen to the ground. Her eyes fell upon this small creature which, after noticing both giants, began to freak out and tried to stumble away. It didn't work out so well as the creature appeared injured, and the Demoness tilted her head with slight curiosity at the sight of it. She was reminded slightly of a Nyphican Demon, but this being was too different to be one. She snorted dismissively, hefting her massive sword in both hands once again. Before she could continue, however, the man darted away from where he'd been standing, grabbing something from a set of low-hanging branches and pointing it in her general direction. The weapon was discharged, a bright stream of energy firing from it on a clear course for... The tree next to her. Shax didn't even need to move to avoid it, merely glancing at the damaged tree before looking back at Tomas.

The fire in the Demoness' eyes only seemed to brighten alongside her widening grin.

"SHOW ME A CHALLENGE, NOT-HUMAN!" Shax roared through her bouts of maniacal laughter, breaking into a run, heading straight for the now-armed man.
