Tch, magic. You’ve got a tried-and-true spell in mind already: EARTH MAGIC!

Leaning into a lazy backflip mid-flight, you scour the area for something you can use to bury this bozo with…

Surprise, surprise, you can’t see anything! You hate this plane. There’s Anton, of course… He’s pretty boney, maybe his freakish skeleton would poke this Sanguiphage into submission?

No… AnTURD is far too weak! You’d swing him once and he’d burst into vapor! He’s just a walking, gawping pile of disappointments, isn’t he? You’ll have to kick him once you’re done here!

Then there’s the mage. You wouldn’t mind reducing her to a vapor, but you’re sensing some energy crackling off of her–a shield, perhaps? It’s a moot point anyways–annihilating her would also destroy any chance of Anton learning some new spells, and he could clearly use some!

The pickings, as they used to say at the CHAA’TAI COMMUNITY GOREFEASTS, are slim… but like they ALSO used to say at the CHAA’TAI COMMUNITY GOREFEASTS, if there isn’t enough… just make more!

Finishing your flip with a flap of your wings, you dart after the bloodsucking baddie fast enough to make your eyes sting! Good thing, too–seeing your approach, the Sangiphage greets you by opening its mouth and sending a swarm of buzzing, hissing critters in your flight path! Tucking your wings in, you dive through the deluge and just barely miss your target when he somersaults away upon hitting the floor!

You weren’t aiming for him, though, not that that wouldn’t have been a good way to end things! Slamming into the ground, you feel the masonry shift beneath your feet as it explodes into chunks of rubble and sends a thick plume of dust and debris into the air! If the smokescreen irritates your enemy, he doesn’t show it, but no matter! Bursting out from the cloud with a chunk of rubble bigger than you, you pirouette like a dancer and deliver a blow that could liquefy bone into the fiend’s side!

“HaHA! That’s the way, Obber!” Croons Toppel as you realize your attack was blocked by the beastie’s forearms, “Such impressive strength, even against a demon!”

“I can’t see aaaanythiiiing…” Anton whines.

Impressive… if you were a FLEDGELING THAT IS! If he’s so good at blocking your attacks, then you’ll just have to see how long he can keep it up! Swinging the rubble like a greatsword, you batter your opponent’s defenses, hammering against them like a mallet forging a blade!

You’ve got him on the run–chasing Obber across the arena and pounding against his defenses, he still manages to block the brunt of your blows! Even changing up your directions and targets, the damned bloodsucker is just too FAST...
