Athinar gazed back at the Overlord, fiery rage was tempered into calm, deadly wrath. There was no sense of danger, no fear in his heart. Only anger. As the Boss told him to not question his reasoning, Athinar's eyes narrowed, and his voice was icy cold.

[color=FireBrick]"You really don't have any particular reason, do you? ... Hmph. Contemptible."[/color] While he was somewhat of a sadist himself, Athinar wouldn't compromise the mission for mere pleasure. Then, The Boss told him to kiss his boots, literally, unlike the other minion's figurative boot-kissing. Hell no, would he kiss the Master's boots!!! However, to keep up the facade, Athinar slowly removed his helmet, and bending slowly, had bent halfway before he went into action. 

Flinging the helmet up towards the Master's face, which hopefully connected, Athinar lifted his massive Carnage in one hand, and standing up, planted it in the dirt between the Boss and himself. While he was standing directly behind the sword, in his massive black armor, there was an antimagic field in a linear path between Athinar and the demonic Keeper. However, the antimagic field didn't protect his sides, and it didn't protect against conjured objects. However, rays, hexes, and curses were all ineffective, as long as Athinar remained within the sword's antimagic field. Walking forward, remaining in the field, Athinar prepared himself for whatever came next. [color=FireBrick]"A [i]real[/i] Keeper wouldn't sabotage his own mission.[/color]

Meanwhile, the paladin shrouded in a golden aura continued to slaughter the imps with impunity, and when they began to shout, she summoned up a giant golden sword, slightly translucent, which covered her blade, and extended further than any normal sword could. Slashing horizontally through the horde, Sarin managed to separate over half of the minion's heads from their bodies. Those that were left standing stared in equal parts shock and awe, before they skittered backwards, screeching for their Master. Sarin dispelled the sword and strode forward grimly.
