So it seemed this warrior was not inexperienced at fighting teleportation. Annoying. No matter how powerful a gun was useless if it didn't hit, and it had left Khaine open, however momentarily, for a counterattack. He had intended to teleport away immediately after firing, but a ray of light cut past his side just before he vanished. Appearing a good few hundred meters away from Saef, Khaine noticed the demon attacking the space he had just occupied. Fortunately, he'd had the common sense to disengage immediately. Fighting two opponents would be annoying, but at least this fungus-themed demon didn't seem to possess very fast attacks. As long as Khaine was able to react to an attack, teleportation would make it useless. However, dealing with the general would be rather more difficult. A shield left no real weaknesses to exploit, and fast attacks were an issue.

For just a moment, Khaine contemplated his next step. The process took only a half a second, but allowed him some insight into the situation. The water around his shallow wound bubbled as it was exposed to the heat of his internal fire. Despite being outnumbered, his opponents were currently in an advantageous situation. Grouped up. Godfall would take a bit to recharge, but that was far from his only weapon. If tricks and strategy didn't work, raw power would have to do.

The water flashed red, as portals opened up all around Saef and Bonesword. Even as they popped into existence they began rapidly freezing the water around them, regardless of salt content. These portals led directly to the frozen lakes of the ninth layer of hell, and the touch of that place could freeze any body of water. Of course it wouldn't be enough to freeze the ocean, but certainly create a large block of ice around his two adversaries. The portals themselves were arranged in a sphere, and as such the water Bonesword and Saef were in would rapidly become encased in ice. Breaking the ice might work, but the water would immediately refreeze, and the frost would continuously grow inward and outward. Maintaining this many portals took continuous effort from Khaine so he wouldn't be able to do anything else while he maintained this, not even move. However according to his calculations he'd be able to freeze that entire area solid well before the blades of light reached him.

Of course, that was when an ancient horror from the depths of the ocean emerged out of nowhere and spawned a horde of frenzied abominations of nature to devour all life that had intruded on it's domain. Because OF COURSE it did. This wasn't exactly great timing. Khaine had kind of committed here, and had no way of defending himself without halting his attack. Without any nearby allies to call on that left him with... well, nothing. He was just left standing there, stretching out his arms and concentrating while the monsters roamed ever closer, hoping that they didn't attack him. He was made of metal and fire, so he probably wasn't very tasty anyway. Actually, nevermind. Eldritch abominations. All bets were off. Maybe they ate souls or something. And he had a bunch of those.

This situation was in no way improved when Khaine noticed ANOTHER titanic sea creature observing the battle from above. This one looked even more massive than the tentacled one. And it slightly resembled the aquatic variant of a certain vassal. At least this one didn't look like it wanted to eat anyone, yet, but that didn't make it any less worrisome. Hopefully Khaine would be able to defeat these two quickly and move on to the big monster things.
