[ Just as her vision starts to fade to black, the off-putting sound of a bone being cracked in half rings inside her ears, and shortly thereafter, the grip on her neck loosens. Ajax's devastating blow forces the abomination to let go, sending Yoimiya to the ground sputtering for air. Having just escaped a near asphyxiation death, it takes her a moment to gather her bearings, fluttering her half-lidded lashes, hurriedly breathing oxygen back into her lungs. It's not long until she picks herself up, her blurry eyes coming back to focus as she gazes upon a truly incredible scene.
In a most amazing feat, she sees Ajax with a dark armor sheathing his entire left arm, his hand covered with a claw that looks like it's capable of ripping the creature into two. Yoimiya is awestruck by the mangled arm of the monster, bent and twisted beyond recognition. No matter how strong he might be, no human should be capable of crushing a whole arm, let alone a monster's arm coated in a dense diamond-like layer. What exactly happened while she was down for the count? She reasons that surely he would have whipped that power out to break the handcuffs apart.
There's no time to ponder on that train of thought, as the creature seems to pivot from its mission to take the mysterious ginger man with it. The monster's savage rage overtakes any reasoning it might have had, opting to dispose of both of them once and for all, starting with the biggest threat in the room; Ajax. Aghast that the monster still has the energy to fight even after having its arm broken beyond repair, Yoimiya watches in horror as the otherwordly being's limb transforms into a force strong enough to fling Ajax into the nearby wall. The sharp tendril blades that were about to cut her into pieces are now aimed at him. A sinister laughter-like gurgle rips out of the monster's throat, its eyes and smile growing wide to have its sadistic taste for blood satiated.
A sharp pang seeps into her soul, unable to bear witness to watching him get torn from limb to limb. Feelings of protecting him at all costs wells upside of her, a mantra plays in her head: He must not die, he has to stay alive at all costs, I can't bear to see him die! The sight of the sharp blade aimed straight at Ajax's stomach sets her over the edge.
Cool as a drop of water, a pleasant sensation soaks onto the right side of her chest, as if she was submerged into the ocean. A crackling thunder fills the air before a shimmering purple bow embedded with the electro symbol manifests into Yoimiya's hands. It's been a while since she used a bow, the last time being in high school while dabbling in a bit of archery. As if a force is riveting her to destroy this sickening abomination, the feeling of holding a bow comes naturally to her. Out of pure instinct, she raises her newfound weapon, tugging on its strings. The arrow loaded inside ignites with a bright, burning flame. ]
Hey, freak! What did I tell you earlier?! Back off!
[ The biggest mistake the creature made was turning its back to Yoimiya, it languidly twists its head to stare at her, eyes widening up realizing it's oversight. With her target perfectly in sight, she releases the fire-infused arrow, hitting it right on the mark. The arrow punctures its leather skin, discharging fire into the human portion of the monster's body, burning it from within. As if an explosion of flames is bursting out inside of it, the creature screams in pain and anguish, releasing Ajax from what was going to be his untimely demise. It can't even turn to face the girl, clenching its head, rolling around on the ground as its innards smolder.
There's more where that came from, she's determined to make sure it never uses those horrifying appendages sprouting out. Another shot is fired, one for each tendril, the arrows hit their marks, starting off with a fire that burns from the sharp edges, erupting to the elongated limb connecting to its back. ]
