Villiam did his best to create something akin to a smile on his face, truly a difficult task considering his body composition, as the freed prisoners played right into his hand. Ah, but of course there were those that did not exactly appreciate his methods of recruitment. They had been accounted for and the necessary precautions had been taken. V handled the three humans all his own, as it was clear there would be no help from his so-called partner Toby who instantly turned tail and ran as a large hole blasted open in the wall. No matter. Villiam didn't even move a single muscle (do I even have muscles? A thought he pondered for a fleeting moment) as the three humans came running down at him, only to trip and fall into a pit he had melted into the floor. 

Then came what he had not expected. An armless demon wearing a poncho and looking none too amused unleashed its own form of attack, and one that the poison spirit knew not to underestimate: An attack in the form of Manus. As the magical disembodied hand shot forth at him, V allowed his body to shrink down into as small a puddle as he could muster, whilst falling back through the hole he had been burning into the wall. The result would lead to the hand missing, though some chunks of the freshly damaged wall inevitably fell, landing on his somewhat misshapen body. [color=purple]"Ow!"[/color] he grunted, reforming into his mostly humanoid shape. [color=purple]"Think about it, you can't get your antidote if you beat me unconscious!"[/color] he called out. Though just in case, this demon wasn't willing to listen to basic logic, or was otherwise intelligent to have already seen through the ruse, V prepared two more defenses. The first was easily hidden, more subtle, and incredibly deadly. He generated and stored a large amount of pure ozone directly into the palm of his left hand. If the demon attack again, he would send this deadly substance right at the creature's scowling face whilst wearing a smile upon his own. As for his second defensive preparation...

[color=purple]"That goes for all of you! If anybody takes me out, you don't get an antidote and are guaranteed to suffer an agonizing death!"[/color] No doubt that would do it. One more misstep, and Villiam's toxicity is the last thing that demon would have to worry about as the rest of the freed prisoners dogpile it into submission.
