Slashing swords can only strike along a narrow arc and had to complete their swing before returning again, a process which would leave gaps for egress no matter how fast it was. They could have eventually started clinging to the flat of the blade and forced the STLTH's to risk losing their hands, but Bastion's perception had saved everyone from being showered in the maggots. Bastion's first blast of ocular power had only scorched Chirada's wings and a small portion of the ceiling, the angelic corpse releasing a shrill cry of pain as it detached itself and darted to the side to evade the second attempt on its life. [color=orangered]"You've got good eyes, Queen's Treasure. I'll be sure to savor them when I eat-"[/color] Whatever she was intending to say died on her lips as Chirada turned to the door where a burst of holy light had just erased a great deal of maggots from the equation. [color=orangered]"Great. The Holy Lich is hear."[/color] Suparna growled before he even opened the door. A fight with him was the very last thing she wanted as he could have scoured the room clean of all the maggots outside of Chirada and Suparna, and from there it was easy to see that the Angels would clear out their Demon and Machina infestation shortly. Then Torag did the unthinkable, and Suparna couldn't help but release a sigh of relief. [color=orangered]"Some loot is better then none."[/color] The Queen of Carrion descended from on high and emerged from the protective shell of Chirada to alight on the ground within Claymore range of Torag, a broad slasher's smile on her face. She clicked her tongue and the maggots ceased their assault upon the Machina and Diana as a show of good faith, even going so far as to withdraw themselves back into Chirada so people didn't feel threatened...and it would shield them if Torag decided to try and purify the room like he had the last one. But it wasn't just the maggots here. Across the entirety of Alt Signia the maggots ceased their activities, even going so far as to pause in mid bite of the poor dwarves and Angels who found themselves being eaten alive. [color=orangered]"So yes, I will take you up on your offer. Consider all your compatriots spared from my teeth for till the fruition of our arrangement. I'll even go so far as to remove myself from the bodies of those who my carrion already infest, though if you don't mind I will refrain from doing so until I have left with my share of the resources...and two of those."[/color] Suparna pointed behind her to the STLTH units that had been mincing her maggots moments before. [color=orangered]"I'm sure the Machina can manufacture more, so it would be no great loss to part with two of them."[/color] [hr] [@KoL][@TheWindel] [@Mega Birb]
