Feress looked around to observe how the others were reacting while his barrier did it's job. He could see some looking towards him for guidance or the call to retreat, and he could see others jumping head first into battle. They were missing a comrade, Ansen, but is it worth endangering everyone to try and get him back? That thought caused an involuntary growl to escape him and he quickly began thinking over all of his options. Fortunately, this barrier he made was very small, so it didn't take much from him, he could hold this up for a couple hours before he had to break it and re-make it or fight the undead while running, but the others who weren't in the barrier were in danger. In the end, though it was Jason's actions that made him make his decision knowing there were some who wouldn't cooperate if he declared a retreat. "We can't run! Try to hold your ground and do what is necessary to stay safe!" He shouted as he gave Sakura and Dusk a glance. There was something else out there tearing through the undead, he could hear the shouting, but it was unknown if that was a good thing or a bad thing. If that demon can't handle those bastards then I will deal with them with the greatest fire I am conjure.
With the church pretty much destroyed that left the shield and the evil bubble sitting in the middle of the rubble. The shield was still up but a few minutes later, for some reason it died down, and the reason was clear. The one who had the shield going fell forward with a cry of pain, a familiar Cianid following behind him as a blade was plunged into the hooded man, the killer immediately collapsing after stumbling a few steps forward with the man. It was Ansen, and he was covered up to his waist with some darkish material that was almost like slime. (eww) He couldn't move much more after that, the wolfish swordsman lying on the rocks and dirt with his blood already staining the ground under him, he was obviously in critical condition. With the shield gone and there being only one cultist left that left an opening to end it all, but the orb was still up and when the Cianid had broken away whips and tentacles shot out from the orb, grabbing anything inside the church that wasn't tainted with darkness, even the Cianid who had broken the shield. It was quickly dragging him back into the orb, leaving only a trail of blood that smeared the floor behind.
