It may seem unfair, but battle is not an act of courtesy as he showed by running up to the parademon and ripping the [b]knife[/b] free from its eye but the damn thing was [b]durable[/b] enough to take the pain. When the hellhound roared, the Atlantian met the call with what must surely be a suicidal move. He leapt up into the open mouth to attack with his [b]trident[/b] upon the soft roof of the mouth, not just once, but [b]twice[/b], to try and prop its mouth open. 

"STRIKE NOW!"

It was [u]Durable[/u] enough to take the two initial attacks without harm but it seemed to take much out of the beast as he left its fanged mouth open or others to lay on the pain. It [b]mauled[/b] at Retiarius once before he had managed to [u]leap[/u] up into the mouth initially but could not bite again without harming itself so it continued to [b]maul[/b] at him a few more times or [b]thrash[b] its head around to free itself from his presence while he managed to [u]guard[/u] himself against two more of its attacks. 

It was an exhausting stalemate, both of them giving what they had until they ran out of ways to take each others punishment. But where the hellhound was a creature of war, Pearl was a protector of royalty. He knew he could stand well against this beast and he would survive to take on another dozen like it.
