Even though she was getting increasingly battered by the Horror as it zeroed in on her location, Alicia couldn't help but grin at the loud crack that filled the crypt as her magic shattered the stone that comprised the altar itself. She braced herself as they were all rocked by a loud scream, a visible sign of the displeasure of the horror at what they accomplished.

"You've gotta be kidding me," she remarked to no one in particular as the dark being spoke to them, while the crypt shuddered and began to rise. Her bracing meant she wasn't knocked off her feet by this sudden lurching motion, as a small favor, though at this point she was unsure as to what else she should expect. The cultists had been dealt with but a direct manifestation of a Horror did not indicate that anything was going well. This was far from over. 

Stark minutes later they were in the air, the fight resumed as Alicia twisted and spun, Star Seraph smacking aside tentacles as they fought for their lives. Emerging from inside, she did have the presence of mind to notice that Elroy had vanished, though Penny had as well, and now there seemed to be a third giant monster too. She just wished she had the time to focus on that, but she was a bit busy fighting for her life again.

In a swift motion she sidestepped an incoming strike, her afterimage effect fading now that it was no longer of use just before she fired an arrow into the offending object that speared through where she had just been standing. Her wings flared wide now that they were in the open, covering the platform in a glow meant to counter the effects of the sinister aura being cast by Soth, for what good that did. 

Fortunately, in a probable sense of the term, it seemed that one of the duo who had been here before had a solution for her. "Alright Summer, sounds like it's time for plan b like you wanted," Alicia noted aloud as she aided in defending the duo alongside Amaryllis from Soth's attacks. They were still on the clock, so the sooner this happened the better....
