When darkness engulfed them Malkai used the opportunity to use a spell. [color=00a651]「Bull's Strength」[/color] He barked out in Druidic, empowering his body with the might of a bull. And just as Jorvis dispelled the darkness, both Malkai and Falchion saw the Darkmantles coming at them. Falchion flew off Malkai's head to engaged in aerial combat with his own foe, while Malkai readied to attack the darkmantle flying at him. He swung at it as it flew towards his head, but at the last second it backed away, narrowly avoiding Malkai's axe. He was able to control his swing well enough that he didn't bury his axe into the ground however as he glared at the monster through the slits of his mask. it flew back up and out of Malkai's axe range, seeking to attack Falchion.

Falchion was clawing at the darkmantle flying around him. Or rather, Falchion was flying around the darkmantle. It flew so slowly and sluggishly that Falchion could easily fly circles around the creature, but it's many tentacles kept Falchion's claws at bay. [color=00a651]「Falchion, dagger below!」[/color] Malkai shouted towards his partner in druidic as he took his dagger out of it's sheath and hurled it at the darkmantle who fled from him. With his increased strength his dagger landed into the beak of the flying squid monster, causing ti to plummet to the ground. Falchion, who had heard Malkai's warning, made sure to avoid the dagger so Malkai could get a clear shot. He then proceeded to fly straight towards the darkmantle so that it would try to go all out against him. All of the tentacles of the beast lashed forward to slam into Falchion, but at the last second the mighty bird dodged and managed to get underneath the beast. Clamping it's talons into the creature's flesh Falchion was able to sink it's talon's deep into it's skin. Tearing at the monster Falchion finished off the creature by flying down and slamming the darkmantle into the ground, crushing whatever brains it had between Falchion's talons and the cold, unforgiving floor beneath it.

With the monster slain Falchion flow towards Malkai, who held his axe out for Falchion to sit upon. He turned towards the others to see how they were faring and if anyone was left to loot.
