The lead soldier gave a slight grunt in frustration. “Fall back,” she ordered the others, “and defend the combatants.” As all three soldiers regrouped with Axl, Shiki, and Martin, the translucent Ing began to weave its way around the battlefield. Not being too particularly creative or clever about it, it appeared as though it were simply trying to decide what next approach would be best.
Gilgamesh… apparently hadn’t learned his lesson the first time, and was even a little ticked that his attack had failed. Dealing with an enemy he couldn’t touch was a new concept for him. That said, he attempted a second attack by lunging sword-first towards the Ing’s red core – and passed right through it. The instant he emerged on the other side, the creature suddenly materialized and spun like a wild top between all seven warriors, attempting to ruthlessly whip everyone nearby with its four tendrils.
Since Gilgamesh was the closest, and with his back still turned to the creature, he was immediately assaulted by the lashes and simultaneously thrown forwards into the ground. Fynt and the other two guards tried to act as shields for Axl and the others against the onslaught.

The tendrils Martin had slashed dissipated into a black mist, destroyed from his blade’s attack. At the same time, Axl’s attack ripped through the Ing’s body, leaving gaping tears in the creature’s cage-like body. The Ing ceased its spinning immediately as it screeched in pain and tried to back away from the group, simultaneously lashing out with its two remaining tendrils towards anyone in sight.
“Keep attacking, but don’t let it touch you,” Shiki warned the others as she used her knife to slash through the Ing’s attack, destroying its remaining appendages.

“I’m just fine where I am, mon-!” Gilgamesh didn’t quite get to finish his statement as the lead soldier stepped forward to yank him unceremoniously backwards, forcing him to stumble, off balance, into a heap next to Axl.
“Leave the fighting to those who can handle it,” she angrily snapped at the seething King.
“Mongrel! You dare to lay a hand on me?!” Gilgamesh didn’t have time to get his answer as the Ing suddenly shook its body. Four new tentacles grew from seemingly out of nowhere within its body and instantly lashed out towards Gilgamesh, Shiki, Axl, and Martin, each tendril acting like a rapidly extending spear, aiming to impale each warrior through their chest.

With a pained, echoed screech, Martin’s attack tore through the Ing, instantly reducing it into a black mist that fizzled away into the air, while its red core faded away into nothingness. As though it were in direct response to the Ing’s death, the nearby Dark Portal destabilized into a Rift, cutting off any further attacks from the “other” world. As a unit, the soldiers of Kemla moved until Martin was in the same field of view as Axl and the rest; it almost seemed as though their target had suddenly switched from the dead creature to the heroes themselves. In the back of her mind, Shiki was expecting an incoming attack. “Stand down,” the leader ordered. Gilgamesh wasn’t sure at first to whom she was issuing that command, but then the soldiers visibly relaxed their guard; Fynt and his Inkua counterpart eventually sheathed their weapons, but the leader kept her greatsword in hand. With her free hand, she reached up and removed the faceplate attached to her headdress, revealing an aging face framed by blonde hair that was showing increasing signs of greying. Her blue eyes bore down upon each warrior with the predatory gaze one might expect to find in a lion – inside its own den. The woman slowly nodded, seemingly in either greeting or thanks. “I am Meredith, Force Commander of Kemla’s armies and Head-of-the-Guard of Inkua,” she stated in a practiced introduction.
