While Alexander was able to patch up anyone who his clones could drag to him, sometimes they didn't make it that far. Some were killed as his clones tried to drag them back for aid, and some were just outright killed. '[color=aba000][i]Dammit! This is insane! How long have we been at this, it feels like hours.[/i][/color]' At the very least, Hilaria was fine...strangely so in fact. While she [i]did[/i] get hurt, it seemed to take awhile for her wounds to build up, and he was able help her natural regeneration when they started to get to be too much. They were never severe enough that he needed to work up close. Alexander was starting to fall into a sort of lull as he reapplied forcefields, barriers, buffs, on top of healing. A lull that was broken by a familiar face "[color=aba000]Lily![/color]" on instinct, he slapped a forcefield and quick buff on her as well, before she began unleashing a storm of arrows. With that (along with a sudden surge in firepower from their side), Alexander took some time to catch his breath and recover what magic he could "[color=aba000]Fuck...this has been going on for so long[/color]" His body was starting to cool down from all the magic he had been using, when a strange red orb crashed into the assault line. The red part melted away to reveal a black crystal "[color=aba000]Duck![/color]" Alexander instinctually cried out as he threw up a barrier between him and it, as well as a bunch of other barriers surrounding it. Seconds later, it detonated, energy beams flying out like shrapnel and managing to cause significant damage to the room. His barriers managed to hold up for a few seconds under the assault, but eventually fell. "[color=aba000]Fuck...since when were magic magical grenades a thing!?[/color]" he complained as he got to his feet when it was done. Before he had even finished standing up though, four very familiar looking huge beasts fell on them. "[color=aba000]...Fuck[/color]" This was the closest he had ever been to these things before while they were alive, and they looked like they had gotten an upgrade or two. He put up a barrier, and began charging it with magic to toughen it up. Not even a second latter, one of their tongues jabbed said barrier, but was thankfully deflected. "[color=aba000]They...they're trying to eat us alive[/color]" He realized as he noticed a girl speared on one of them flying into the mouth of one of those beasts like a snack. And after all the blood and death that he had seen today, this was the straw that broke the camel's back, because something inside of Alexander snapped "[color=aba000]That DOES IT![/color]" The beast half of his magic flared in response to his anger, and outfit to his beast enhanced form. Acting quick, he ran around his barrier to the giant lion tongue that had tried to spear him. It hadn't retracted yet, so he had time to reach out and grab it. Moving his staff over to his mouth and holding it in-between his teeth, he squeezed the tongue with his now free hand, right before it started to retract. He took of like a jet, being dragged towards the waiting mouth of the monster. All the while, his anger grew, and as his Reinforcement and Beast magic flared in response, his body started to [url=http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/40800000/Male-version-of-human-Okami-thelefteris24-40885478-254-621.jpg]change[/url]. He angled his sword just right, so that when he got pulled in, it would stab the beast in the head. However, tongues aren't the easiest things to hold on to, so his grip failed him right before impact. This threw off his aim, and he was only able to cut into it's side "[color=aba000]Fuck! Guess I have to do this the hard way[/color]" He readied his wand in his other hand and grew a barrier sword out of it, and charged at his foe. [@FamishedPants]
