Mary tore and tore into the beast with both claws, swiping at it and clawing and gouging its flesh relentlessly. The only sign of letting up she displayed were her slightly slower left swings, which were only because of the spike that had imbedded itself in her shoulder she had to remove. As she did this, the thing exclaimed a piercing shriek and began falling to the floor. Mary began to slow up only slightly, starting to feel the power within herself running thin. This disallowed her from dodging the tentacle, and was clipped by it, sending her flying off the beast. She just barely caught herself in midair, and slid to a stop on the floor, before her form became that of the regular Mary. Her fur was replaced by petite pale skin, and her horns gone in place of a bonnet. Before Mary could charge at the beast again, a booming but detached voice ricocheted through the hall to all those of the council. She quickly joined the group, rubbing the ribs that had been just barely slapped by the beast that was now, apparently speaking. It turned to them and spoke, it's maw blinking in time. It explained to them that they had given it a pain of neither heaven nor hell. Mary felt a bit ashamed at that. Guess Firebrand was about the same as Devil Trigger. Or maybe that Firebrand power was what he was speaking of? Either way, Mary regretted she had to act to kill in this instance, but it had admitted it was going to consume them for knowledge. That would most certainly kill them all. The beast threatened the group to leave before it broke them, and a bright flash emitted from the the Abyssal. Suddenly, a sort of weight was put on Mary's mind. Though Mary already knew much, her mind was suddenly filled with new knowledge. Though she was no chemist, she suddenly knew the entire periodic table front to pack, than her mind began filling of thoughts of Hydrogen, and then Helium. She knew everything about them, their density, every molecule used to create them, and every single reaction it could produce with every other element. She quickly tried to force a tactic to repress mind attacks she knew, but she did not have much training on the subject, certainly nothing formal. The only real thing protecting her was how much she already knew. Akoni and Souta both agreed that they had to flee, though Akoni expressed much annoyance. Mary did not want to leave just yet either, but her head was starting to pain her, heavily. She managed to say [color=f6989d]"I will join the two of you."[/color] Before dashing with her inhuman speed towards the exit with Akoni and Souta.
