Ophelia’s electrified attack and withdrawal, followed immediately after by Arrayah’s tearing severance from her own lower pseudo-centipedal body.

Farren had to physically force himself to act in direct contrast to the intense disgust that writhed up his spine, and that moment’s hesitation allowed Arrayah her next maneuver: A quickstep.

He acted in the next instant, quickstepping as far as needed, and as fast as he could, to reach Arrayah. Within the blur of that movement, Farren was already swinging in a diagonal slash with the blade of the Beastflayer so that the moment he exited the quickstep he was already midway through his swing upon Arrayah’s back. Farren knew he’d have no real chance to interrupt her attack, but redirecting her focus afterwards could be pivotal in its own right and if he managed that he’d likely quickstep back, constraining it to the shortest possible distance even as he repositioned his glaive to prepare for another attack.
