As the rat was stabbed, the weapon only went through its stomach, sparkles surrounding a greenish vortex around the blade. It looked down before looking up at its opponent with a unamused expression before thrusting its two blades in the girl' shoulders. Quickly lifting her up and tossing her back in a surprisingly strong throw. It squeaked, before charging once more, its swift movemenr swinging its dual blades expertly, the beads around its neck glowing darkly and its eyes glowing a black color. Its tail whipped the air, lashing as well as its swords. Mizuki was trying to hold down the ox, though tensed as someone charged in and tried attacking the spirit,, though luckily her blade bounced off. However when Akane was lunging for the eyes, Mizuki somehow knew that blow would be fatal. Seeing as how the dark beads seemed to weaken the creature's around the throat. Quickly, the half demon rashly got in front of the ox's head, and in Akane's line of attack. The Ox snorted and snarled as it reared its horns, ice encasing them as they shot out shards of ice in random directions. Attempting to get a blow on anyone around and especially get Mizuki off. It managed to dodge the area, barely, but when Kouko came down on the beads with a holy blade. It landed squarely on them, the beads shrieking in response as darkness seemed to seep out. Half of the blackness seemed to remain from the holy blow, and even though the ox was under control still, it's movements slowed at it's ice attacks were less accurate. As if attempting to stop its attacks.
