Varen growled angrily as he looked back after hearing Athel and Isamu abandon Willow and try and join in the fight, their prisoner going free. At this point, as far as he was concerned, those two, provided they were still alive by the end of this, better have hoped he wasn't or at the very least "all killed out". Had he known that this would have happened, he would have lopped off Akemi's legs and demanded the others drag her back to the tower. Now he had provoked some idiots to get themselves killed... so mixed feelings, all things considered.

Still, he didn't have time to think about what he simply couldn't change now as Ares sent a silencing blast his way, the spearman diving out of the way, quickly getting back on his feet to find that Athel had been hit, soon clashing with Willow who showed up to harass her under her skill of [b]Dark Sight[/b]. Isamu advanced to provide assistance, but was then intercepted by a <<Laughing Coffin>> Lieutenant, leaving Varen spoiled for choice as to whom he should assist first, provided said Lieutenant didn't also bring his team along, in which case the red head knew exactly what he needed to do.

[color=0072bc]Guess it's now or [i]never[/i]...[/color] Varen thought, calmly unequipping his weapon and opening a window to navigate through his gear, a particular set in mind. In a matter of a few seconds his armor shifted into a new set, his spear following suit and switching into a bladed spear with a fluffy, brightly colored charm on it. His new armor was more elaborately designed than his Medium Hunter Armor. It was by a considerable margin, the strongest gear he had and he was eager to put them to use. If left unhindered, he would brandish his new spear and head for Akemi and the Warchief, reasoning above all else that if she should fall and the leader left unhindered, then no one is getting back alive no matter what happens with the others. His reach was slightly shorter than before, but Varen would try and work in tandem with Akemi, seizing an opportunity to unleash a series of rapid strikes totaling four across Ares' left side as Akemi was meeting his sword on the leader's right.
