The air was crushed from his lungs and Nox gasped for air. The power lay just at the edge of his mind, but if he couldn't breathe he had to fight more than necessary. The power formed, but the body shifted and Nox turned his focus back up praying that it didn't return to life so quickly. It would be a bitch to kill if it did. But the creature moved and Nox saw the shadow of a man above him.
The beast was flung as much as you could fling a man that size. In other words it lay dead next to him the wound oozing blood not only on Nox before but now on the floor where it now lay.
Nox sighed as he took Jay's hand and immediately regretted the move. His arm and shoulder hurt like a son of bitch. He was going to have a nice bruise come morning. He could hear Sage laughing at the returned treatment. He really hadn't meant to hurt him.
The arena was dark and Nox squatted down pulling his hoodie off. The short sleeve shirt left his skin exposed but he needed to hide the head. Nox looked around with the power to enhance his vision - it was still shadows but he could see the differences in them, it was better than one big blackness. "She alright?"
He cared but mostly he was distracting Jay from what he was about to do.
He created a red hot flaming sword. The flames flickered so close to the blade it almost looked like it was just glowing not made of the flames itself. Nox knew crouching above the monster like he was was not going to provide the leverage he needed. He let the sword hang in the air with another weave and then with the power of his gift he pushed it into the creatures neck. There was a soft slurp as the blade slipped in and then cauterized the wound as it went. No fuss no muss.
It took only a second but Nox was apprehensive with potential Atharim lying in wait. Nox grabbed the head by the red hair and closed the dead eyes so he didn't have to look at them anymore as he wrapped it in his hoodie and stood up. "We need to get out of here. She needs a hospital."
They couldn't go out the front like everyone else, he and the girl would both be covered in blood.
