One of the twisted, man-like, creatures grew closer while the other two remained just a hair’s breath away from where she could do damage. Clearly, it meant to distract her and give the other two an opportunity to pounce. From another section of the room, she heard the screams as the creatures Ivan dealt with met their deaths.
Suddenly, the one that had been drawing nearer burst into flames. Screaming and flailing wildly in agony. The two remaining monsters jumped back, and she used their confusion to her advantage. Quickly, she jumped and twisted, swinging her swords as her entire body spun. The force of her blow cutting cleanly through the neck of one of the beasts. As she landed, the Naga crouched low and rolled out of the way.
The remaining the creature didn’t stay confused for long, and turned its attention back to Akantha. Muttering a curse under her breath, she flipped her blades backwards and ran at the thing. Remaining out of the reach of its claws, she leaped over it, powerful legs propelling her higher than human’s. As she cleared her way over the top of creature, the Naga twisted her body around to face the beast’s back. As gravity pulled her down, her blades spun in her grasp and dug deep into the sides of its neck.
When the two hit the floor, she was the only one on her feet. The beast fell limply onto its knees, held up by the swords in Akantha’s hands. Retrieving her blades was not as easy as sinking them into her foe, and she grimaced as the thing fell to the ground in front of her.
