Frankly, Azoth was not expecting the girl to try and punch him. It was an absurd notion- Azoth was large and heavy, and the idea of someone attempting to throw their weight against him was ridiculous. So when she launched herself at him, he didn't move, and instead took the punch straight into one of his heads, which immediately banged into his other head. He snorted loudly, immediately dizzy. Staggering back, he shook his heads, trying to regain his balance and focus. After a few minutes, he straightened his heads out and began looking for Ruby. Blood was trickling from his nostrils- it was more of a mark than he had expected to gain from the girl.<br/><br/>It took longer than he expected to locate her, but he roared and immediately charged towards her location, fire forming in his mouths as he ran. He didn't plan to lose this fight.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>Eve slashed and hacked at the hollows continually, but every time she destroyed one, another one popped up to take its place. It was surreal. Something about the whole situation seemed wrong, but she couldn't think about that. She was too focused on fighting them.<br/><br/>However, just as she was about to land a blow, the hollow in front vanished without fanfare. Her blade swung hard into the ground and embedded itself into the wood flooring. She blinked, then tugged it out of the floor with a few good pulls. When she looked up, the man and his demon were making a hasty exit, leaving Mary behind.<br/><br/>"Did you do that?" Eve asked, a little startled. She hadn't really expected much from her. Maybe she would turn out to be more useful than Eve had first thought.
