[color=888888]— Hilaria[/color]

Faith had screamed. 

Oh, what joy was this! A crimson line streaked down her mouth, dropping onto the defeated, injured girl's back as Hilaria savored the taste, lightly shuddering as she did. It still did not compare to Viper, but few things would. Her suffering and flesh were simply divine. Faith could be compared to a quick lunch at a fast-food joint, but could she honestly be called Hilaria if she did not partake of a free meal before her?  

Was it anger driving her now, or an insatiable taste for blood? To even Hilaria, it would be impossible to tell. She only understood violence right now, and all that can be assured is that if Faith wasn't dead already, Hilaria's next bite would correct this. The armored berserker dove back in to claim yet more of her flesh when suddenly she found her attempt impeded by a barrier. It immediately cracked and shattered as it resisted her brutal strength, but lasted just long enough for Celia to grab Hilaria's attention. 

Far as she was from subtle, the flaming Celia did not go unnoticed and Hilaria raised her hands to catch her, stopping the charge without ceding any ground, in spite of the immense heat the flames were giving off. The searing pain the bands imparted was far worse, and she was built for these sorts of things, after all. Hilaria acted as an immovable wall and Celia, a pebble. And since the two were grappling above Faith, it would have been impossible for Ronin to relocate her downed friend. That is until another pebble was thrown at the wall. 

Rather than overpowering Hilaria, what disrupted her most was her head being snapped back by the shield blow, causing her body to also reel back a little. The last bit of the druid's power had now sapped away, and her skin returned to being (mostly) normal, Hilaria's madness the only thing left empowering her. Assuming Celia did not change course, she would find this provided an opportunity to wrap her arms around the berserker's waist, and the two of them successfully would manage to begin pushing her back, clearing the area above Faith and allowing Ronin to continue with her rescue attempt, granted something else didn't interfere. 

As she clashed with the two on her, Hilaria either didn't know about or didn't seem to care of the oncoming attack from the dead wolf. Instead, she would try to take one of her clawed hands and dig it into the side of Celia, and both the girls near her would feel a force pulling them into her.
