(13, 13) The machine slashes at the spikes, splintering half of them into little bits, but getting stabbed in the torso by the other 4. They all narrowly miss its core, but still cause it to recoil nonetheless, letting out a screeching roar before floating backwards and flashing forwards with two thrusts of each blade at Niyr. (20, 15, 5, 18)Niyr then visibly winces, as a series of eight crystal spears would form in the air above above him, floating in a formation that looks almost like a second set of wings. They'd briefly follow his normal flapping motion, before surging forward as he flaps down another time, continuing to fly in formation almost like a bird or another dragon and they head right for Astraletos. (17, 12)
(4, )It would then stab upwards into a crack ripped in reality, one tearing out in front of Maskie, the tip of Astraletos' huge sword poking out in an attempt to stab him. (16)
And so Maskie's mediocre attempt at dodging would be met with them being cut deeply along the hip area, perhaps making further movement very painful.(4, )
"... what the does that me-""Yes... At the rate these things are going I will need to replace my entire body with crystal to keep up with the injuries..."
Fed up with the lack of action, Astraletos would look to Cas, Fikitt, and Brambol before rapidly dashing towards them, aiming to hit them with a slice meant to destroy the floating stone they're on. (14)
(@appleNsauce?)(18) (6) Brambol manages to work up the strength to flap into the air and grab Fikitt after he was knocked off.
He tries to swing his tail towards Cas so she could grab on.
"watcha doing?"(8)
Niry only slightly steps to the side as the blade trims off a bit of his wing.
"Agreed. Now..."
Niyr flies up, and seems to wince quite heavily as he begins preparing something...
(Why wouldn't you-)(Should I attack again?)
