[h1][color=DarkRed]Argus Leandros[/color][/h1]

Hyun's arrival and Marlene's laughter only drew a confused look from Argus, though the latter did get him to move his head in her direction. As he saw Marlene laughing at him, he also let out a small chuckle, lifting a hand to pint at her, only for the pain to finally catch up to him. His eyes rolled up into the back of his head and he hit the ground with a low thump. If Marlene were to look at her own self, she'd find that, more likely than not, her own clothes had been destroyed as well, leaving her once again naked to the world, though the embarrassment should be less as their weren't any other men around to see the crystal mage in her birthday suit.

[h1]Nidhogg[/h1]

"Mediocre," was all Nidhogg had to say as Hikage initiated her attack, as all of her blades were intercepted by a wall of bone that had shot up from the ground, causing them to get stuck as the material hardened and grew around them. After that, the ivory wall quickly began to expand into a large dome, sliding over everything it it's way like an onrushing wave. While the soil was pushed back this advancing perimeter, the trees stayed where they were, the bone parting like water around them and closing immediately after passing them. Hikage would find the onslaught particularly hard to escape, as skeletal hands would burst from the wall in an attempt to grab her and drag her into the advancing wall. The wall would only stop growing once it had reached a rather large diameter of 20 meters all around, making it cover quite a large expanse.

On the inner side of the dome, there would be nothing but darkness and decay. The forest would be completely pitch black, not a smidgen of light to be found anywhere. The air was also soon to be filled with the scent of rotting flesh, as Nidhogg, situated at near the top of the dome in a hanging ivory pod, used his crawling horror magic to create boneless amalgamations of flesh to spread across the dome, releasing the sickly odor throughout the interior. After that, he'd make 3 stronger creatures, which he'd call [img=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/f9/bb/7c/f9bb7c466b0cea93b506d292cc227ba8.jpg]Stalkers[/img], to hunt down the assassin. If she wasn't in the dome, the stalkers would exit out, the bone opening up to allow them passage in and out easily. Hikage, is she came close to the dome, would be assaulted by the hands again. 

While the stalkers engaged the woman, Nidhogg would begin to alter the interior, causing spires of bone to grow and crisscross across the inside, so as to further push this battle in his favor. By making sure that his bone constructs were present in every area of the forest, he'd always have an advantage.

[i]I do hope that the woman didn't avoid my attack. I don't really plan on leaving nor do I wish to have this go on longer than needed. I don't want to miss any more of the games than I have to[/i]
