The little girl nodded, though it seemed to be more of an automatic response than a conscious decision.  Perhaps she’d live, perhaps not. Argus couldn’t stick around to find out, lest the beast outside complete what the other creatures had started. The pirate rushed out the door, laying eyes upon the beast. Winged, towering above all and one of its mangled claw tipped wings lashing out at the human lass.

His cutlass barely intercepted it in time as the red haired vampire would scoop the human up in her arms. The impact against his arm was powerful, pain coursing through his body as bones cracked from the impact, his blade cutting into the flesh of the beast yet it did not seem to care as it’d withdraw its talons, its long neck twisting and beak howling in a mournful, painful wail.

“Gah! Watch where you're touching!” Julene grumbled as she was scooped up. “Thank ye for the consideration, but I can handle myself.” She’d retort towards Akyasha, eyes glancing between Argus and the Cleric. “Friend of yours, is it?” 

She didn’t get long to ask before the hulking monstrosity lunged forwards again, its beak lunging towards Julene, its maw open and uncanny human teeth poised to swallow the human whole. Julene growled, grabbing a bomb from her belt, action obvious in what she was going to do with little concern for her own safety, it seemed. One of its other claws whipped around, intent on trying to grab the Cleric.

The gorebats had fled quickly after the order was given, but with ten of them, finding food to fill all their bellies may take a bit longer than usual.

Kordelia’s claws met silver, the tinged blade. Armored as her body seemed to be, its silver sheen, tarnished and faded was only capable of doing very little to the berserk vampire lord. Still, it met heavy blow after heavy blow, Giselle’s arms straining from the force of each, ripples of pain causing her bones to crack with exertion. The red threat of her own ichor, in turn whipped out, the taught red strings being pulled taught once more, causing the vampire lord to cease its assault. The dancing ribbon would slice through one string, then another, and a third soon followed.

Aleksiyas ice, too, was starting to take effect. Not only was the ice spreading to the strings, it was spreading to the spectral hands fingers, too, slowing its movements down even further. The hand seemed mildly panicked, if it was capable of it, its digits attempting to move faster, a little more frantically as ice slowly crept up its appendages.

Their momentary victory however, was short lived.

A blood curdling, pain filled roar. Blood that had gathered around the area being drawn towards the beast called Kordelia as it’d back off away from Giselle. Immediately blood began coalescing around her, the latent blood and gore being drawn towards her as it started to coalesce around her body, shading her in a dark, blood soaked crimson. In the next instant, the force was expelled outward. Dozens upon dozens of razor sharp fragments of blood blasted out, effectively high speed deadly shrapnel launched themselves towards the two vampires. This would in turn, shred Giselle’s sword and shatter the ice that had built up on one of the hands, but it was enough to leave the frozen hand with a gaping hole in its center, as well as only three threads while the other had a four left.

Kordelia however, would immediately turn her attention back to Aleksiya, seemingly having deemed her the bigger threat now. The beasts tail morphed once more, forming into a long, chitinous tail tipped with a long, flat tailbone as it’d lash out, attempting to crush her immediately after the previous attack.
