Fight.

Athena finished speaking and the group started to use all the talismans and communication methods they had. However, the barrier around the valley prohibited them from establishing contact with the elders outside. 

Shakti snarled and spat, "Dimwits, there is a barrier around here, the only way to find an elder is to get outside this place from either the entry or the exit. Three of you, go pass the word to those at the entry point, the rest help Dao to hold back this thing. The strength of the Daemon is far too unpredictable." 

She sure was a veteran, her instructions were issued in a jiffy and the rest of the people followed, three of the fastest people left the scene quickly to relay the word. Amil said, "Do not jump in the battle quickly. Dao can hold the creature, for the time being, wait till he is tired out, then switch in with him."
