 Casting an AoE and Damage X note would negate it down to a normal Damage note, but casting Speedster on himself would partially make up for the cost. It got rid of the flies. And more importantly, it managed to slip through Betty's defensive melody via the boils like he anticipated. Even Finn couldn't help bit cringe back at the sickening sight. And her screams, goddamnit, those idiots up there better hurry up and kill Justin so he didn't have to hurt her any more. With her blinded by opened wounds, he was able to dodge her attack and drive his weapon into her shoulder. To avoid getting hit again by her flailing, he quickly yanked it back out and kept at a distance.

 Then, at the end of the flurry, Betty finally went out of her esper state. The Timekeeper's eyes widened. His heart ached as despite everything, her will to fight remained strong as ever. Her white dress was dyed red by the blood that fell from the heavens as if angels cried.

 ....Too dramatic? Yeah. This was going on too long for his liking.

 Besides, there was a silver lining in this. He didn't have to be lethal towards her any longer. As Betty, in her desperation, dove in like her bow was a makeshift blade, Finn's rapier connected with it and pushed it aside. He pointed a finger gun her direction and fired a restraining melody, a bolt of lightning tying her arms against her sides like rope.

 [color=goldenrod]"Game over, B."[/color] He finally spoke up to her. [color=goldenrod]"I don't want to fight you-"[/color] The boy was interrupted when the seventh spell was in effect, and a pebble of hail struck him on the head, causing him to flinch. Then as more began to pour down, bigger than the last, he quickly picked Betty up and sprinted inside the precinct. He did his best to shield her from the hailstorm, even if it left reasonable dents in his body.
