Rafael was amused that the armadillo monster couldn't keep up with him. He swayed under another attack, his head and eye staying locked onto the beast. His fist came around and plowed into the creatures side with a meaty whump. Their armor was like his, all natural and tough but still a little pliable due to the organic nature. Another miss from the beast and another attack landing in the side of its ribs. One of the core ways of ruining someones day in a fight was to take out their core. No core, no power in your attacks. Of course the creature was getting angry and made a very foolish mistake. It lunged right at him for a bear hug.

Laughing he let the beast catch him in the hug. As the creatures arms encircled him his hands changed, bringing about those wicked looking claws once more. It had pulled him into its only unarmored spot and he capitalized on it. With unnatural flexibility his hands drove into the creatures stomach, pointing up and hunting for its heart and lungs while blood poured from its ruined abdominals. His fingers flexed in a grabbing motion as he dug in, slicing apart every organ between him and his target. Of course it probably still had time to throw him away but it would be very injured.

Rafael was barely listening to what everyone else was saying but he was hoping to finish this off to move on to another target. The girls voice from before was carrying over, was she acting like a cheerleader for the group? Well at least she was trying to be useful...why was he feeling lighter and stronger? Was that something she could do? He honestly didn't believe in magic, it just wasn't a thing from where he was and it most certainly wasn't psionic. He'd have to question about this later.
