The Ranger starts, taken off guard despite himself at the sudden violent speed of the Magna Pater's motion, and by the fact that, though he had fired another shot to be sure, he had expected the beast to be dead.
But surprise did not dull his reflexes. Seconds between motion start and contact? The speed enchantment reactivates, and he turns ethereal, the shadowy mass that is his incorporeal form speeding like a dark opposite of a shooting star up to a few meters above the charging beast before turning physical again. Three more hypervelocity arrows appeared in his bow like magic...the thing had dodged the first one at extreme range, but at point blank? They were enchanted to activate a small part of the way between their shooter and their intended target. In this case, the total distance was only three or four meters. Three of them, bracketing the monster and his potential dodging options in a triangle, released simultaneously...that monster would die this night if the Ranger had to loose every shot in his quiver at it.

In another part of his mind, he notes that the thing is glistening more than before...and that the girl had reappeared, apparently ready to resume combat. Lovely. Boy would certainly be dead now. Well...not really the most unexpected outcome.
@YamiNoNeko2341
But how would I see it? Is it as if you are present, but contained entirely within the shadow, or is it like the shadow is just a hole leading to where you are, or what?
Crushing would hurt, but I doubt it would cause permanent damage unless one side relaxes. For example, arm wrestling. Both people are squeezing each other's hands pretty hard, and it certainly might hurt, but there is no chance of permanent damage unless one side overexerts or completely relaxes without the other doing the same.

And anyway, it doesn't matter. He is dead. I just got back from Star Wars, I killed a primal vampire...this has been a good night. Now...how the heck will I kill that other vampire...Yami, what might I be able to see with my ethereal sight?
Cruallassar rises from his crouch and relaxes the tension on his bow. Then he casually draws it again and sends one of the explosive arrows at the beast. It was probably dead, but against a creature like this it was best to make sure. It would be...unpleasant to have it merely be playing dead, which some creatures were known to do, and then have it come knocking at his tent some winter night in the future. Replacing the other two shafts in his quiver and once again relaxing his speed enchantment, he scans the area...ground and sky included...with his eyes still glowing red with his ethereal sight enchantment. The other creature is certainly intelligent, powerful in its shadowielding, and otherwise completely unknown. A dangerous quarry.
And sample their anime culture. Obviously.
The Ranger in question had his bow ready for action, wondering exactly how to react against the now vanished shadow-wielder, who had taken the fool kid with him. But with the monster definitively determining that getting after them would be a problematic proposition at best, and now focusing its full attention on him with a blind rage, the Ranger decides that present dangers are far better dealt with first. It had bitten off its own arm to heal its other injuries...interesting. And it was making itself a difficult target...naturally. Of course, being an expert marksman, generally Cruallassar would have no problem hitting even a quickly and erratically moving target, without bad luck intervening...but with the monster's proven reflexes and speed, there is no guarantee that it could not dodge his shots as he fired them. Of course, he had a solution for this problem.

Two hailstorm arrows flew at the primal vampire within as many milliseconds, scattering their swarms of energy projectiles almost simultaneously, with three explosive arrows nocked for the next volley in the next instant, the elf crouching and renewing his momentarily relaxed speed enchantment in preparation for further action. An unnaturally strong and fast bat-like monstrosity vs an elite Rangermaster? Barely a contest.
Heheheh...finally, Shashous paying attention to me...I needed some dead monster to cheer me up today after fixing my car. This is just the thing.
So a 19 year old Captain America?
@Doc Doctor
Huh. Thanks for the tip then. I was actually kinda under the impression it was from the other side without the wing, since it was from the same side that I shot the explosive arrow...at least, it seemed such. But now, both your wings are damaged, so this works... >:)
@CruallassarWhy would Shash not be in a position to block?


Well, first the energy arrows burn through the target, rather than pierce it. Specifics on firepower are on the char sheet, so I don't know if your wing could effectively block it without taking some damage. Second, if the side of you that now lacks a wing due to my explosive arrow is the side I'm shooting at/from, then I don't know how easily you can swing the other wing around to defend that side. Those are what I'm thinking of.

[Edit] Though I find now that that first point you thought of, and so I don't have anything wrong as far as that is concerned. And I really can't tell as far as the second point is, whether I'm shooting from your intact or not intact side.
