As the male lion went flying from Marcus' and Roxene's tandem surprise attack, Marcus could only grimace since he had failed to deliver a lethal blow.
However, the male lion was still flung far away by Roxene's darkness drill taking him out of the fight if only momentarily.
Turning towards the nearest of the remaining lionesses, Marcus summoned up his iron golem and sent it to engage her.
He knew his iron golem had pretty much a zero percent chance of winning, but he just needed it to hold one of the lionesses off while he and Roxene took on the remaining two.
The lioness getting their bearings after the sudden attack began charging towards Marcus who was the closest enemy, but before they could arrive Roxene had charged towards one of them, causing the two to have to split their attention.
'Embodiment of light.'
