*Yuu would watch as the Macen flies away due to the strike, but atleast he wasn't cut in half by the axe, right? Even Mizu's attacks didn't seem to have much effect though it definetelly seemed to be weakening. With the fight nearing to an end Yuu would have decided to go for a somewhat recless strategy, dashing forward and stopping some 30 feet infront the minotaur to try draw his attention away for Mizu. With an arrow loaded into Eulogy he would draw it back and fire, aiming at where the minotaurs eyes would be. All the while his Archer would have dropped his bow, and drawn his sword, using the distraction to charge at the beast in a suicidal rush. The target was the swinging hand of the minotaur. He knew that the damage would be minimal but the sword managed to get stuck in the hand it would likely affect it's ability to hold the weapon. If the minotaur was somehow able to charge at full speed with the state of his knee, his faith would be in Mizu and even the Oni. It's not like he wanted them to protect him. In his mind is that there was no point trying to haul the spotlight, if this beast was going down, it was going to be through teamwork and apart from the though of this beasts head on the ground, there was nothing else in Yuu's battle-crazed head. Raising his arm forth a magic circle would form as a wolf had emerge, not having time to attack just yet.*

Kohm's mind went blank as history repeated itself- this time with more vigour, almost as if death tried harder this time to make up for their previous failure to take Kohm. 

Losing function in the limbs on his left side of his body (an almost humourous thought flickered across his mind for a brief moment regarding how this time it was his left's turn to suffer), Kohm remained on the ground, heavily panting as he realised he wouldn't be able to get up so easily this time. Craning his neck to the side, he saw how the battle proceeded as he let his abdomen, now roiling harder than ever before. He was practically certain he was well and truly fucked, and he was most certain experiencing internal bleeding from his cracked ribs.

*Well.* He thought, for once not entirely in rational fashion. *It looks like there's a good chance I'm going to motherfucking bleed out here. If I'm going to die before I have seen all the lands and oceans, all the mountains and fields... Well then, I might as well spite that fucker, wounds be damned!*
 
Raising his right hand weakly as he attempted to aim straight, one last firestorm erupted from his hand before he truly let his hand fall, trying not to aggravate his wounds further.
```Firestorm (15) cast, 10 regen, 20/100```

*Seeing that the spear was still in its body, Mizu decided to use that to her advantage she would charge forward with a ward of blood in front of her to deflect the likely retaliation from the Minotaur as she attempts to get on its back and shove the spear deeper with her raw strength, hoping the distractions of everyone else would help her in pulling through this maneuver*

```5 mana regained, Blood ward cast 15.5/150 mana remaining```

*As if by instinct, the minotaur would guess that there would be a follow up strike coming up from the back by the kitsune, so it swung its tail wildly, catching the kitsune but not doing any knockback to her. Instead, it would be surprised that itself was the recipient of the knockback, lurching forward a few feet bit as the steppe elf charged at the minotaur. Mizu would miss her jump, instead landing on the ground to the back of the beast, close to the legs. The elf charging at the monumental beast begged the question: why would it suddenly charge now, when it stood behind at the backlines this entire time? Was it suicidal? A distraction? Or both? It guessed that the elf was a distraction, but nevertheless, it swung its axe horizontally at the elf's abdomen, severing its body into two. However, because of this distraction, the minotaur's head would be vulnerable to the arrow shot, taking its brunt force as the brittle skull shattered under the force. The minotaur's brain would be exposed, a rotting, decaying muscle of gray and purple. It reeked of corpses and the undead. The shattering pieces of bone would dig into the brain, causing it to bleed profoundly. To add t the torture, Oshikuru's glaive would pierce through the back of its head to the skull, stabbing through the brain as well. With this, the minotaur would blindly wail in agony, blindly throwing its axe with all of its strength towards Yuu's direction, before it fell to the floor, dead. Its body would decay into the soil, and the necrotic energy in the forest would vanish.*

"Headshot..." *He would say in a calm and collected voice as the arrow left his bow.*

*Yuu would watch as the beast fell, though soon enough his eyes widened in shock as he saw the axe flying in his direction. In a wild attempt to avoid damage he would jump to the side as the axe cleanly cut through his icy tails formed by his transformation. A close call and if he was not in his transformed state, likely a deadly one. He would take a mental note that undead enemies are dickheads as he got back up to his feet and shook any dirt off himself, slowly walking towards the fallen corpse of the beast. More so for dramatic effect, than fatigue or anything else.*

"I wonder if the rumors are true. I've heard tales of these facsinating creatures, their horns are said to sell for a decent amount. I'd say fighting the monster already paid it's price in the entertainment provided though."
Barbara
"An excellent shot indeed! Shame I couldn't do anything..."
Mary
*He would recall his glaive, then go to hacking at the horns of the beast. He wanted at least something for compensation for not being able to fight this thing*
Peter
*Mizu would be slightly surprised to have the minotaur be pushed out the way of her leap, but she mere grinned pleased that she was able to at least throw the beast off balance. She would look over to the group and grin. It was a short dance of death, but they all had made it through. She would reflect on each of her companions for this job, trying to figure out where she was lacking in this fight*
*Mizu was honestly surprised that the Macen was still alive, but she still respected him for putting up as much of a fight as he did. At the very least he had helped clear out a good portion of the warrior undead with his flames and his summon served its purpose as well. She could see him becoming stronger in the future and would be sure to get his name before they all left. As for herself, she realized she would likely need to learn some widespread attack with her blood so she wouldn't be overwhelm by weaklings in the future*
*As for Yuu, his summons capabilities left something to be desired, but as she just saw with this final blow, he himself seemed to be more than worthy of being called strong. Her body would heat up a bit once more from lust and nod in understanding. It seems he was worthy to mate with, and she was excited to get started on it the moment they finished up this task. From his fighting, she saw the value of staying afar and letting minions serve as distractions. Being able to command a small force would certainly prove useful in overwhelming most enemies. She would note that she needed to either improve her range capacity or learn to make summons with her blood. Perhaps she could ask Yuu to teach her?*

*Then she would look over to the Oni recklessly swinging away at the body of the Minotaur and her eyebrows would raise in surprise before a flash of irritation washes over her eyes. The oni had slightly impressed earlier from his fight against the abomination, but through this whole fight he had been occupied taking out a single warrior undead. He had done very little to contribute in the battle against the mighty beast, yet here he was not only disrespecting the body of this stronger warrior, but also seemingly collecting the horns that Yuu had just mentioned might valuable. Yes, the greater reward was from the fight itself, but as a hunter, Mizu found it extremely disrespectful to start mangling the body of a prey hunted down by another hunter. In her mind, Yuu should be the one to first claim any piece of the prey for himself. Whether it be the horn or the skull, even if he had no intention on selling it, Mizu would think one would want a symbol so to speak to mark the day they fought such a strong beast. Thus Mizu would put on her mask, walk up behind Oshi and with her strength apply tremendous pressure on his shoulder, holdling back his arm as he was about to swing again at the Minotaur's horn. She would radiate an aura of irritation and let her some of her bloodlust soak through*
Adolfo
"Kagemusha, I would suggest you not disrespect the body of such a strong beast, or are you so blind as to think it is still alive? Anyhow, why not prove yourself useful and heal the macen who, unlike you, had actually helped out in this battle. Move along now, preferably before I develop a taste for Oni."
Barbara
"I do not mean disrespect. If something is worth collecting from you, then it means you are worthy. That's how I see it. As for the horns, I do plan on collecting them unless you two want them, as of course you did most of the work"
Willie
*Yuu would chuckle as Mizu stopped the Oni from collecting the horns. Being a monster hunter, he disagreed with his statement. Worthy if you can collect from it? What kind of nonsense was that? Does that make vultures scavanging carcasses of dead animals, worthy? Either way he would get up and move closer, next to Mizu, squating down and looking at the Oni.*

"You know what you remind me of? An Omega Wolf. They are the weaklings of the pack. They still get food, they still have a home but that doesn't make them worthy."
Barbara
"I'm going to ignore that. Do you want the horn? Does she want the horn? I'm going to get something, doesn't have to be the best part"
Sean
"Yeah, we'll both take the horns. Good keep sake, this monster -should- be remembered... For atleast abit." *He didn't even ask Mizu if she wanted a horn, which was a factor of two things. First, he thought she deserved one, so wether she keeps it or sells it, it should hers. And Secondly, he did not want to give the horn to the Oni, whose ego was too high for it's capabilities.*
Barbara
"Kay then. I'll go find something. Oh wait. Where's the small macen? "
Mary
*He looks around, finds him and runs over there to heal him*
Willie
*Yuu would pull out his shortsword, starting to carefully cut around the horn. All the while he would think about what he would do with it, make a sword? Sell it? Keep it as an ornament? He got so lost in his own thoughts that he didnt even notice that -minutes- had passed and he was already almost done with the second horn. One done he would get up and hold it up to Mizu. Holding his own one in his right hand, rather loosely.*

"Your share Kyuu."
Shirley
Kohm sighed a breath of relief and craned his neck to nod in appreciation as he felt his extensive wounding being healed, but for the part remaining silent as it was greatly painful to move his chest right now as his ribs mended themselves together. Well, it seems he would live, in the end. Thank goodness.
Barbara
"Well, guess I was useful as a healer. Not what I want to be known for, but oh well"
Peter
*Mizu would've chuckled at the jab Yuu made at the Oni, finding it to be amusingly accurate. She would watch Yuu take his share of the beast, not minding that he started to chop away at the 2nd one. After all, it was customary in a wolf pack to let the alpha take his share and then trust he will leave enough for the rest the pack. Thus she would be surprised to see him offer her the 2nd horn to her. She would find it rather generous of him to go through the effort to cut her share, thus she would take it graciously and store it away in her pouch.*
Adolfo
"Kind of you to cut my share. Will you be leaving the rest for the others?"
Sean
"Yeah, I have no use for the rest of the beast. Though it probably deserves to be left alone now, I won't stop the others from scavanging. Atleast the Macen deserves something. Not so much the Oni." *He would then sheathe his sword and stretch his arms upwards, letting out a grunt as he felt his muscles relaxing. His wolf would stand by his side as he ruffled it's hair.* "It was a good hunt, guess we need to go collect the reward from the geezer at the village?"
Mary
*Oshikuru would arrive at the Minotaur's skeleton. He would look around looking for anything useful. He would settle for 3 lower leg bones and the unbroken femur*
Barbara
"I'm going to take these, if you don't mind. Unless the macen wants them." *He would turn to Kohm* "You want anything?"
Shirley
"Nothing in particular." Kohm shook his head, having since stood up, though he was still a bit unsteady as he was getting himself adjusted.
Mary
*Oshikuru picks up the three bones*
Barbara
"We should get going, then. Don't want to wait for sunrise."
Willie
*Yuu would look up at the sky. Has it really been that long? Is the sun about to rise? Except he would be met with a perfectly dark sky. Guess the Oni was talking a few hours into the future. He'd stretch one more time and attach the horn to his belt in an awkward way that makes him not need to carry it. He would turn to Mizu.*

"You gonna leave after recieving pay, or do I still need to make it up to you?~"
Peter
*Mizu would nod after seeing everyone claim their share. It was shame for the rest of the mighty beasts body to lay here, but accepted that it was the natural outcome for the defeated. The strong live their life in a blaze of glory, but all it takes is one slip up for you to becoming nothing more than a pile of rubbish.*

*Mizu felt a sense of loss for the mighty beast, knowing full well if she had been alone she would likely be the pile of bones there. Death treats everyone equally, and if anything to undead like her who cheated it once, life was much harsher to them, trying it upmost to push them back from whence they came. In that sense, she was saddened at how she had never been able to experience life as her memories only included days of being a vampire ever since she was a child. The world had rejected her since the beginning and was left alone to suffer because of it. But even so, she felt it was because of that overwhelming pressure that she became as strong as she was, to prove to the world that she would live a fulfilling life even as an undead. And that included experiencing everything she possibly could, including being a mother.*

*Thus, she would look over to Yuu and nod her head. He was strong and had thankfully had taken an interest her. She had her mask on, but she there were few tears in her eyes which caught her by surprise, but would then smile. It would seem she had been longing for this day a lot longer than she had thought*
Adolfo
"Hmmm, weren't you the one who made the promise? It should be me asking if you will hold your end of it?" She would tease back
Willie
*Yuu would think about it for a moment. She wasn't wrong, it was in fact him who made the promise yet for some reason it felt like she was the one who made it in hindsight. Well either way, by her reply the promise is being kept regardless of who it was who promised. He would take one last look at the beast, then spin around on his heels, moving towards the village while still looking at Mizu.*

"I thought I told you before that I couldn't say no after I saw what's under the mask~"
Peter
*She would chuckle. It was fun to be teased and teased back. She would walk up and walk side by side with Yuu and would brush her tail against his*
Adolfo
"Ara Ara~It seems we've both wasted effort in having this conversation then" And would lean in and reach for Yuu's hand
Willie
*As he saw Mizu walking up to him he would turn around to face the direction he was walking and as she reached out to take his hand, he would willing take it. He would now take note that there seemed to be around the same height, maybe even exactly so, hmmm... So many coincidences indeed. With a smile he would look back in front of him.*
Sean
"Is there a symbolic reason you wear that mask? Or is just to hide your identity?"
Peter
*Mizu would secure her grip on Yuu's hand. It was a bit cold, but that much was expected considering they were both undead. However her heart would flutter in joy at the pleasant feeling. Who knew physical contact outside of combat would feel this nice, so... Comforting? At the mention of her mask her free hand would gently stroke it, recalling where and how she had gotten a hold of it.*
Adolfo
"Not satisfied with just seeing my face, mhmm? Well, I won't mind telling the tale if you are so curious, but in return I ask you tell me the tale of your summons. Seeing how distinct they are, I could only assume there was some reason for making them as they are. Sounds fair? "
Willie
*Assuming she meant his wolves he would look beside him at the wolf following them then back and her and nod.*

"Deal.~"
