*SPLAT!*
"AGHH!!!"
The screams of the adventurers that were following him came soon after. Blinking, Riku saw the bloody mist that was once a dozen adventurers. Now, only half remained, all of them now shaking in fear even as they bore their arms against the monster.
"N-No! We can't falter now!"
"Not like this!"
The survivors looked to him for direction, only for him to ignore them as he pushed himself out of the indented tree trunk that saved him. Looking out, he saw his clones already circling the Champion of Shiva, taking potshots at the man with their knives while the viking visibly caught his breath with the momentary reprieve.
Thinking quickly, Riku joined the fray, using his superior speed to join his clones with slashing at the overgrown Champion. In response, Hiro began swatting at his immediate vicinity, his massive swipes almost decapitating him every so often if not for his quick thinking and constant movement.
