A snarling sound emanated out from Zhan as the two adventurers attempted to block his attacks and flee. The tendril poised to strike Senna was met with a bash from Alexander's shield; however, in the moment before contact, the tendril seemed to lengthen, changing the position of its tip so that, instead of clashing with Alexander's shield and losing most of its force, it wrapped around the shield itself. While this did mean that Senna, having already started to flee, was safe from the attack, it also meant that Alexander's shield, and by extension, his arm, was at Zhan's mercy.

Zhan's whip and Alexander's sword struck against each other, the latter attempting to parry the former, but this was met with a similar result. Rather than Zhan's whip glancing off of the blade's side like a more inflexible weapon would, it instead coiled itself around the blade. 

"One is enough."

Seething this, the arm Zhan had used to restrain Alexander's sword was snapped back, intent on disarming him and tossing his sword to the back of the fourth floor. At the same time, the arm coiled around his shield writhed as it reshaped itself, a protrusion forming out from it to strike Alexander's chest from the side. If he was able to get a good look at it, he would notice that said tendril was coated with the Acid Slime from the previous floor. 

One arm pulling his sword away, one restraining his shield and attempting to pierce his chest.
