Despite her own better judgement, Sanae had in fact chosen to see what sort of state Mokou was in—and was subsequently punished [i]quite[/i] heavily for it mentally. Seeing an arm being mangled, scorched, [i]and[/i] necrotizing all at once was hard to stomach, never mind the [i]other[/i] injuries she had sustained.

Before she could even try calling out to the other woman about the situation, though, Sanae watched in shock as Mokou simply moved towards the centipede's still-flailing body and [i]disappeared[/i] into a pillar of flame before promptly reappearing seconds later.

"H-how?! You-but that-[i]how[/i]?!" was all that she could sputter out. Even if Gensokyo was a realm where residents treated common sense like it was their plaything, recovering from an injury like that near-instantaneously was on a different level of absurdity.

Though apparently undaunted by having one more enemy to face off, the centipede soon found the extent to which the two beings in front of it were a meaningful threat. Dealing with Remilia alone had been a drawn-out battle unto itself, but with Joker present—and his ability to cleave through it's carapace besides—the number of wounds it had was very rapidly growing in number.

All of this came to a head as the teenager cloaked in black swung up around it's body and used it at a footstool to reach it's head, at which point debilitating magicks were let loose upon it. Slowed and disoriented as it was now, dodging the Scarlet Devil's Gungnir was all but impossible.

A violent tremor shook the very air around them as the spear impaled the centipede's head dead-on, the force sending it [i]flying[/i] backwards and crashing through multiple trees before finally pinning it's flailing body to the ground below.
