It only felt like an instant before the battle fell into full swing, Shion's arrow was dodged and countered as the Snakeman sent his own arrow at the young lad who in turn dodged the incoming arrow. Knowing this game would just last until one got tired Shion took a gamble moving into a rapid fire drawing three arrows at once and quickly firing them off one after another trying to predict the snakeman's dodge with the second and third arrows.

Sybille's snake was not as lucky as it dodged some of the Ice Shards but was soon impaled by many more and it wasn't long until the Snake dropped to the ground. It was then that Sybille came up with an idea, "Hold them Off, I know how to make this an easy win" She yelled out as she retreated out of combat and began to chant something.

Garrett's opponent was a smart one indeed, after having its weapon knocked to the side it quickly went in for a charge ducking under Garrett's elbow and then coiling around the man in an attempt to squeeze the life out of him.

Alm's fight was going well enough, the snakeman barley moved back just enough to prevent it from being injured as his blade sparked across the metal breastplate. But Alm did not give the snakeman the time to retaliate altering his grip and jamming the hilt end of his Naginata into the snakeman's face causing it to tumble backwards. With this break in combat Alm quickly channeled his energy into his fingertips and ran them across the blade of his weapon leaving what seemed to be a frozen edge on the weapon before he moved to engage the snakeman again.

Haf's massive swing caught the Snakeman by surprise, although the beast tried to block raising its sword and bracing it with it's free hand. But it didn't matter the sword shattered and Haf's axe easily cleaved the snake, until the blade hit the Soulstone cracking the gem causing it to rupture in a small explosion that would knock Hafrbjǫrn back but thanks to Pox's earlier enchantment wouldn't do any serious damage.

Pox's mad rush of throwing grenades worked out well the Snakeman archer was distracted by Pox's first bomb allowing Shion's first arrow to land squarely on its shoulder its attention instantly snapping back to Shion the snakeman moved to avoid the other arrows coming its way which left it open as luckily one of Poxes bombs fell at an appropriate distance catching the snakeman in the outer edge of the blast taking a few chunks of shrapnel to the body and even one to the face. Heavily injured the Snakeman turned its attention to Pox starting to left loose a volley of five arrows at the man not moving or caring. The snake wanted to bring down the Apothecary with him knowing it would not survive anyway.

Nanami's attacks worked as well as she expected, the snakman easily blocked the girls physical attacks but was caught off guard by their magical follow up cutting gashes into the snakeman's chest. This only seemed to enrage the beast as it then went onto the attack letting off its own flurry of attacks the final strike being a solid overhead diagonal swing with quite a bit of force behind it.

Jing Continued to hold back his two opponents in what seemed a deadlock waiting for one of the snakemen to give him an opening, a chance to strike and even out the fight. But so far there was no opening give, at least not one he could take advantage of as he continued to poke and prod as well as knock away the snakemen's attacks

Yui's first shot at the Queen almost hit its mark but it to hit the stone throne as she retreated back after firing her arrow, But at least Yui's shot broke a chunk of the heavy stone off of the throne. The queen once again moved to retaliate but went back into hiding as Gwen let forth a barrage of flaming missiles directed at the queen. They had no chance of killing the queen but they would keep her locked down for a time allowing the rest to fight without the fear of her arrows.

Allant felt the effects of Yui's second shot as it stuck the Snakeman that was moving to attack him. the shot hit the beast square in the upper torso sending it wreathing back but not out of the fight. After the beast got up it charged at Yui swinging wildly as it approached. This opening gave Allant a chance he delivered a quick kick into the armored Snakeman to free up one of his blades and quickly plunged it into the other snakeman's face dropping the snakeman almost instantly. Now squared up against a single Armored Snakeman Allant had much more confidence cracking his neck before stepping into the next round of combat.

Jenramo grinned at the snakeman's attempt letting the snake get its hit in before bringing down his own sword to the nape of the snake's neck cleaving off its head. Yet again his sword absorbed its foe's life force healing the wound he had just received. And it was at this point the rear doors once again opened and more snakemen seemed imminent to rush into the battle. Jenramo didn't wait for this to happen he instantly turned and charged the doorway disappearing into the darkness to slaughter the snakemen.

Octavia's attack was sort of successful as her blade slid across the Snakes forehead leaving a deep gash, but the snakeman used this to its advantage continuing its lunge whole opening its mouth revealing its sharp fangs moving in to bite the girl.
Stephan saw this and after rolling to dodge the attack coming after him he quickly drew a set of throwing knives and planted three of them square into the snakeman's back momentarily stopping its attack and giving Octavia a moment to make some distance. He then made his own move kicking his own Snakeman in its back before following up with two strikes to it's back with his knives before falling back and creating some distance before the snake could retaliate.
