As Damian prepared for close combat, his adversaries manage to deal the first blow, the only signal that was given to him were the chants that the mages shouted before casting their spells. [color=82ca9d]“Metal moss!”[/color] Damian thrusted his blade into the earth causing moss to grow at a rapid pace, enveloping the wizard in a protective barrier. The moss then went went through a transformation in appearance, going from a pine green color into a gunmetal gray. Along with the color change, the moss also grew stiff further reinforcing the wizards barrier. Damian was able to withstand the spells that had were casted on him, the flames scorched his barrier cooking the wizard inside a bit while the rocks thrashed violently against his barrier, wearing his defenses down nicely for Jean. The swordsman pierced Damian’s defenses with ease, with a few slices he completely opened up his barrier. Unfortunately for Damian he wasn’t even done yet as his flurry continued, Damian managed to pull his sword from the ground and deflect one of the strikes in time but before he could try to react on it Jean was already into his last two strikes which licked the boys torso nicely. Damian wasn’t prepared for the foes attack’s to completely annihalate his defenses. Damian quickly back peddled out of range of Jeans sword, he’d take advantage of the smoke that surrounded him from the previous attack’s and mend his wounds a bit. Noticing a dead tree nearby, Damian made a quick move for it quickly merging with the plant and completely masking his presence on the battlefield. While Damian lurked in the shadows of the battlefield the wizard quietly allowed his arc of trees to work it’s way and revive the dead roots of tree he had been residing in. Since a deep network of roots was already in place, it was much easier to use a network that was already in place as opposed to creating an entirely new once. Damian was preparing a ring to isolate Jean while his allies dealt with the other two bandits. Simultaneously he watched as Vali rained hell on the trio, taking advantage of their least mobile member. Argus also took advantage of the situation and went on the offensive quickly switching targets and dealing heaving damage onto the rock lady who decided push away the clown as an attempt to save them. The man smirked as his allies moved on with the impromptu plan of divide and conquer. Jean praised the group for managing to take out his partners, as the man spoke he moved onto phase two of isolation. Trees, a whole lot of them , sprouted from the ground and formed a large ring around him quickly surrounding Jean. Damian who had been hiding , emerged from his hiding spot and jumped back into the fray. His shirt had been sliced cleanly acrossed his chest, two nice slashes across his chest that was bleeding showed proof of that. [color=82ca9d]“Don’t worry about me, I’ll be alright.”[/color] The wizard said as he twirled his blade as he approached the outside of the ring of trees. Damian lightly fiddled with his sword, the look on his face serious as he phased through one of the trees that trapped Jean. The wizard entered the ring with a chip on his shoulder as he stared his foe down. [color=82ca9d]“That was a nice little surprise attack you tried to pull back there but I think you may have underestimated me a bit.”[/color]
