Viral’s movements were slow but he wasn’t any less menacing. The vulnerability of Yumi right now was just the draw he needed to see her as a vulnerable creature waiting for him to tear her apart. Snarling as he opened his toothy maw he raised his claws, his heavy tail swishing from side to side he near lunched forward at her until out from all sides the creature tried to pierce Viral’s body. Driving spikes into his body it tried to pull him down, barely getting him moving before Viral had enough and immediately took a dive. He managed to drive himself straight into the ground and break through as if it was fluid, the tentacles from the creature inadvertently being dragged down with him if only for a moment when the impact of it slamming into the ground caused it to break up. It was obvious where Viral was heading as he travelled underground, his dorsal fin and the tip of his tail broke through the ground as if he was swimming in the sea before he took a dive again and disappeared.

The creature thought for sure it had him with that attack, but Viral didn’t even make a noise despite obviously piercing through him. Frustrated with the Beastman’s sudden change in appearance and attitude it chased after him underground, but the tremors Viral was leaving behind was causing a fairly great deal of disruption in its ability to follow. It knew it had to get rid of them both as quickly as possible, but Viral was proving difficult to kill. In frustration it rose back to the surface, turning its sights onto Yumi immediately. [i]”I’ll kill you first then! Filthy lifefor-!”[/i] Viral had burst to the surface again just a few metres from Yumi as he seemingly managed to grab part of the creature in his mouth, dragging it up to the surface before tossing the goop to the side. It wasn’t just ordinary goop from the creature he had managed to grab but rather the creature itself, managing to find where it had been hiding under the surface before snatching it when he had the chance. Viral’s wounds healed up pretty quickly, it didn’t even look like he had even bled. The creature hadn’t been killed by that attack either and was getting up after that after being stunned by Viral’s sudden ambush, not sounding at all happy after that. [i]"How did you do that...?!"[/i]
