Curses rattled around inside of the Saef's helmet as what he assumed was the demon commander leapt away. The pale demon landed near some of the soldiers firing at Apia, cutting them down with a single swing of his battle axe. More curses spilled out of his mouth as the sliding Captain saw the ease with which the better part of a squad had been wiped out.

Gritting his teeth he flipped over and gunned his jetpack again. Shooting back across the open section of the tunnels towards the Ice Demon. His position low to the ground allowed him to slip by another attack by the humanoid bee person. She really seemed to have it in for him. The beegirl certainly hadn't targeted Farris at all so far and the Herald certainly had a bigger reputation than him.

A wall of sleet and ice rushed to block his vision. Wireframe representations of the battlefield immediately leaping to his HUD courtesy of the passive sensors in his suit. Even so the extra annoyance was enough to cause his temper to flare up. And that was before some kind of magical power started creeping its way through the whiteout.

The word echoed out of the external speakers of his helmet. With it swept a wave of warm golden light. Unholy cold vanished before it and demonic ice melted into so many drops of water. Before the ####ing Demon could try anything else Saef was skidding to a halt next to him. Slush spraying out from the now semi-liquid layer of ice on the ground.

With murder in his eyes Saef swept the now three foot long blade in an upward arc at the current target of his hatred.

Elsewhere on the battlefield the soldiers were feeling the boosting effects of Farris's battlecry. Defenses were increased and wounds closed up under the healing effects of the resounding cry. That was more helpful in some cases than others. The place was still swarming with stinging insects and anyone too frozen to dodge or block an attack was also too frozen to cover their suit breaches. Even the extra defensive boost from the cry would be temporary.

SAWs were being being brought to bear on the larger creatures. Ordinance usage down here was a risky thing. A rocket or grenade in the wrong place could collapse a section of tunnel. Even the large bolts of the SAWs were a calculated risk. Given enough time they could melt a hole into the open air above.

A few bolts did in fact slam into the ceiling beside one of the Ice Snakes as the whiteout swept through the tunnels. The gunner had been momentarily disoriented at the sudden change in vision. Luckily it didn't last long. The armored men may have been able to fight but it just wasn't the same when they couldn't actually see the opponent.  Ghelgath's Breath didn't manage to get far before the blizzard carrying it was swept away. The two remaining members of the squad he had all but wiped out shivered and strained against icy bonds as their suits' climate control systems attempted to keep them alive.
