[h1]Nidhogg[/h1] Nidhogg, in his distracted state, wasn't as quick on the draw as Shiro. While he was able to recognize that James was preparing something and Joshua was moving(thus switching into Speed mode in order to react) he couldn't bring his wings up in time to shield his eyes from James' attack. As such, he was left annoyed as he got hit with the full brunt of it. Not only did it actually hurt due to the Holy element, though it was more of a stinging sensation than anything else, but the top layer of his eyes had fried, making it impossible for him to see. However, he didn't seem overly bothered by the fact, completely ignoring not only James, but Jacey as well as he proceeded [i]pull out his eyes[/i] with his fingers. Needless to say, it was a rather bloody and grotesque thing to do, especially when he actually did pull them out and hung them from one of his hands, staring at first James, then Jacey with nothing but the empty, bleeding sockets of his eyes as he swung around the bloody organs by their nerves. [b]"Boy, you both sure can talk a lot about shit I don't care about. Anyway, I don't see why what I was doing seemed to be a problem, since I didn't touch a hair on any of them, and I did intend to keep my word because, in honesty, playing games with them was just so much fun. And I wouldn't have hurt any of them as long as they had followed the rules."[/b] As he spoke, he threw his eyes into the sky for a bit before catching them in his other hand, placing one inbetween his thumb and forefinger in a way where the organ was staring directly at the group of light mages, James in particular. [b]"Though, because of that one, I am obligated to start killing civilians now, since he decided to put his students safety above them after all, but you came in at the perfect time to stop that. Too bad as well, I feel like he would've been interesting to torment with that, as he seemed like the righteous type. I mean, while his instincts and advice was right, he must've been pretty blind to not realize that the other one was going to stop the boy. I said that those two could move, and I extended that to Cody to keep his conscious from holding back his rage. . . so why risk innocent lives like that? It truly is interesting, and I only wish some civilians had stayed around to see that, but I'm thinking that we're the only ones here."[/b] At this point, Nidhogg would toss the eye into his mouth, chewing on it thoughtfully while finally closing one of his eyelids, covering the bleeding socket, though not stopping the blood from seeping out the sides, making it look like he was crying blood. [b]"You know, I tend to forget sometimes that I taste rather delicious, not to mention how much I under-rate the texture of a human eyeball. I can't think of anything else that just seems to pop and melt in your mouth like this."[/b] As he swallowed, a strange slurping sound could be heard from his covered eye before he opened it up to show the eye had been replaced, though it seemed to be turned towards the side in an odd way. He would repeat the process with his other eye, then shake his head a bit as he reconnected the optic nerves. This could've been solved much more easily by just causing the damaged tissue to peel off his eye, but this was done to give him sometime to think, as well as just to be as unnerving as possible to those around. Once he could see again, however, he'd send an icy glare towards the newcomer, no small amount of killing intent radiating off of him. [b]"As far as your concerned, I would very much like to taste your eyeballs. See if they retain the same delectable consistency. I'm certain whoever sent you wouldn't mind, especially when they find out that you drew more attention to their plans than anything I could've done. I'd say that you're confident the guilds won't be able to do anything, but of course, then you wouldn't care what I did? It seems rather amateur to me, and thus I would normally have nothing to say to a lackey like you . . . but I tend to have a certain hatred for anyone who tries to control me. It's the reason why I want to hand Georgie by her own intestines while I feast on everything else, then bring her back so I can do it over, and over, and over again for the rest of eternity."[/b] [b]"Yes, I think I'd very much enjoy doing the same to you, but I doubt you'd indulge me in that. You don't seem like the type, which is why I made a point to memorize how your sins smell, so that I can find you when you eventually flee like the lackey you are."[/b] As he spoke, his magical energy began to condense around him in a thick purple mess, forming soon into the snarling maw of a dragon. His eyes were pinned on her with a savage intensity, that it seemed like he was about to launch himself at her at any moment. Then, in an instant, his face would break into a mocking grin as the ground beneath Amaya would break open, fanged skulls bursting from the ground to sink their fangs into her legs and skeletal hands reaching out to pull her by the shoulders down into a hole where a savage looking beast of rotting flesh would be waiting for her in the sewer below. In that same instant, the ground around James, Cody, and Joshua would burst as a dome of bone, wreathed in necrotic energy on both the inside and outside, would quickly slam down over them while similar hands and fanged skulls would burst out from the sides of the dome to grasp at them. THe dome would close over too quickly for most to even think of escaping before it closed, but Joshua might be able to. The dome wasn't that thick, however, as it was mainly a diversionary tactic. [b]"But before that, why don't you help us get rid of these witnesses, so that their guild and the council get's as little information as possible on whatever plan your planning, cause no matter what happens now, investigations will happen, it's just up to you how much they have to go on."[/b] Nidhogg would say, seeming to be greatly enjoying the havoc he was creating. He knew that their were flaws in his logic, as well as that he could be possible fighting off the newcomer, Mamami, and Shiro as well if she decided to strike him down, but if it did come down to that, then he could always just eradicate the entire city and be done with it. Death would be assured, but at least he would take down a lot of delicious morsels with him. [b]"Oh, and Shiro, I hope you noticed that Slayer going over all the information she just learned. Names are important, thus why we don't just say them without thinking. Manami, teach your pet better tactics, cause so far, she seems rather useless in these kinds of endeavors. No wonder you got your ass kicked last time."[/b] [@Lunarlors34][@Joshua Tamashii][@Roseletta][@Zarkun]
