As it collapsed, Farren was perhaps a paltry two meters from its form, and so took the chance to lunge at it. Drawing the True Blades of Mercy as he did so, Farren slid the Effigial Blade and True Blade each into one of the beast’s vertebrae and then cleaved with all his might, levering them as far apart as he slashed while pulling the blades from its form. However, he felt the crackle of voltaic energy build and noticed the actinic light that sparked across its form growing in intensity. So, as he withdrew the blades in a savage motion, Farren pushed backwards in a twisting jump that covered perhaps two meters of ground, where he’d land in a half-turned position. This, in turn, allowed  the azure-eyed hunter to immediately break into a sprint, quickly adding an additional 4 meters between the Darkbeast and himself before he slid an additional meter as he pivoted at the last moment, letting him come to face the creature with his eyes half lidded against the lightning’s glare.
