AfriCatastrophe: Ringo D

Exhaustion hit Igen like a truck. UNder normal circumstances, he would have faceplanted. HE would have rejoiced and been satisfied with their work. Been proud of Solomon and Tento cracking down on the remaining creatures. His body hurt. His muscles hurt. Hell even his TEETH hurt somehow. Every inch of him was aching from strain and energy use as he tried to muster up what he had left. And his eyes focused on that one last creature. HE had nothing, almost. No energy left. HE could barely stand. Panting there with those pale blue flames already extinguished. And watching as that one last, tiny little creature attempted to escape.

He raised a hand, pointing a finger at the creature and narrowed his eyes. Trying to muster the energy for a Sho spell to, if nothing else, knock the creature onto it's face so that the others could gank it. A small crackle of energy formed at his fingertip, but it got no further. Igen had well and truly exhausted every resource available to him. His world spun, and he promptly collapsed facefirst into the rubble beneath him. Completely wiped out. He wasn't in danger, with the nearby relief squad, or really anyone with any skill in Kaido got to him and got his spirit energy replenished he'd be right as rain. But in that moment, he was down and out.

And just as he did, Tento would feel those stripes peeling away from his body. Clearly seeming to react to the downing of it's wielder. And for just an instant, a Tiger would form beside Tento. Flashing a look over it's shoulder, as a feminine voice would sound around him. "Pleasure working with you, kiddo~" Before it vanished, it's energy returning to Igen. Though of course, Tento would STILL feel that buzz of energy inside of him, already healing the burning sensation from being around those acidic auras. He still had a few more moments left of that energy. Hopefully just enough to ensure that last little fucker died.

The Unrefined Paragon

Tentō Zefā

One. Just one stubborn. Tiny squirming Hollow trying to flee from the chasing jaws of defeat and purification. Its acid aura acting like a fog painful wall of threat as it stretched out all around it as it made its retreat. In the aims of survive to fight another day. Or another way of combat planning to bid time to grow its physical form once again. The spiritual energy recovery of this would be interesting if it did escape. Would it be able to immediately recover its power, or would it have to devour and start from a lower base?

Feeling the large shake of his body, the well of energy leaving his body and a bit of his own as he used his boon to take down one of the trio Hollows. Burning and healing bur ing and healing during the process. He was well off energy wise and health thanks to Igen. And so he moved taking a defensive stance in front of Igen after her body fell to the ground in the aftermath of he failed kido spell.

As Solomon focued his electrified reishi at the tip of his spirit weapon, pinpointing the remaining Ringo with steadfast accuracy. Thrusting the blade forward, Solomon unleashed a thunderous spear-shaped arrow that aimed to finish this today in one fell swoop.

As this occurred Tento felt it. A shift of power leaving his vessel that only gave a wave of concern. Not for him but his comrade. A Shinigami's ability phasing out without their command was a sign of serious harm. How much had Igen sacrifice in her energy? How much pain did she endure leading the charge to that opening? The stripes loved away, and in that moment of doubt that made him want to turn around. He was given something to look forward from. In a moment of time, brief, aTiger would form beside Tento. Flashing a look over it's shoulder, as a feminine voice would sound around him. "Pleasure working with you, kiddo~".

It was calm. Confident and happy even. A piece of energy there. Igen was fine. Returning to Igrn as he still felt the buzzing flicker of energy in him. Igen was still fighting. Solomon was still fighting. The others were, and he couldn't stop here where it was all at the door of victory. Body healing from the burning sensation from being around those acidic auras.

He moved, if Solomon's strike proved to miss or fail to.end this Hollow. He would charge ahead and appear overhead without a shred of doubt in his movements. Bringing his sword down in a overhead slash to clean the small Hollow un twain if needed.

Either way, hopefully, it would be over. Tento would.hustle to return to Igen's and Solomon's side. Igen's body being propped up by Solomon. It seemed she was fine. Just very very tired. And she deserved a well earned rest.

Sword sheath he spoke, q tired but happy voice rining out in a light warm voice as he gazed at the two of them. "I do have to admit. The synergy was a lot better than I could ever hope. Igen, thank you. That was brave and a bit dangerous though. I'm glad you are fine. And Solomon...thanks, had my back a few times earlier".
