Just like MacKensie:  Zigmund was brought back from his stupor by James yelling.  His head turned sharply toward the Cleric and the impending danger in the form of a Ranger and an anchor flying toward him.

[i]Fast but not fast enough.  Not as smart as I thought, yelling like that.  Bringing me back to my senses.[/i]

His body turned to wat-

[i]What!?[/i]

The molecules of his body blinked into H2O and right back to flesh and steel, his very being feeling the handcuffs of the [i]Counterspell[/i].

[i]That insolent little...![/i]

Zigmund adjusted instantly, throwing up crossed forearms in an X-shape, a Water Ward materializing just in time for the giant anchor and a hail of iron bolts hitting it.  The anchor was of the Water Domain for sure - the large weapon sticking to the ward, grinding as it tried to break through, bits of hoarfrost covering the weapon and turning bits of Zigmund's shield to ice.  At the same time, the bolts of MacKensie were hitting the shield and chipping shards of ice off it.

As the combined attack ended, Zigmund stumbled backward and his Water Ward disappeared.  The armor on his forearms was full of cracks.

[i]That was close.  How does a weakling of a Cleric so powerfully wield the weapon of the Deep-One Reaver before him? It doesn't make s-[/i]

He wasn't allowed to finish his thought, because the blue blur that was MacKensie zoomed past him, even faster than before.  Last sighting she was high up and medium-range distant.  Now she was speeding low on the ground and right by him.  And let off a hail of close range shots that he had no chance to counter.  So many bolts.  Half of which left little dints in his armour.  The other half found the cracks that her fellow Ranger, Fenna, had created and burned into flesh.  Some even found the new cracks in his forearms. Point blank power, they buried deep into his flesh.

"Ugh-ugh-ugh-ugh-ugh-ugh-ugh-ugh..."

The sheer force pushed him stumbling sideways.  The attack felt never-ending, so he reached deep into will to power threw himself out of the line of fire, diving and rolling back to feet, but limping a little.

[i]I am... losing?[/i]

Blood and water now bleeded more obviously from his waist, abdomen and a single forearm.  But he was by no means done.

[i]Zigmund Mugba-Zarak will not be defeated so easily!  Not by these novices!  This I swear to her Her Majesty![/i]

He let out in intimidating shockwave of steam that rushed past everyone on the battlefield, then activated another Strength and Endurance boost.  The shockwave would do no damage, but it was enough of a show to allow him a single free attack at his closest enemy.  

[u][b]He launched himself at MacKensie and hit her with a head-punch, body-kick and spin-kick combo that sent her to the ground.[/b][/u]

Activating his final boost - Speed - he walked toward to the floored MacKensie, listening out for her party members to rush to her aid, then dropped another small steam bomb.

Out of the steam he rushed at great speed towards his real target.

[i]Now Druid: Let's see how you handle close-quarters combat![/i]

The steam bomb ploy would undoubtedly give him time alone with Adam.  And unlike Fenna, he was caster - A Mage - a handful of seconds would be all that was required.  With Strength, Endurance and Speed Boosts - Adam would need a miracle to survive the pain that Zigmund was about to unleash on him.  Around the ninja's fists water formed punching-gauntlets.  One his toes and and knees, water formed puncture-spikes.  Then all weapons upgrade-transformed to steel.

[i]Time to end this pain in my neck for good.[/i]
