Black watched as the horse who'd taken the brunt of his attack rapidly rotted away to nothing but bones. After that was done, he thought it best to offer some attention to the rider. The rider probably would have been more vulnerable to the spell than the horse, but it had only taken the end of the spell. It really wasn't very smart of him to hit the horse first. The rider certainly wasn't in very good shape now, but he wasn't quite done yet. He staggered back to his feet and lifted his sword, looking like he was preparing to charge.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Not good,</span>Black thought.<span style="font-style: italic">Ijemaru said fire would be the most effective against them, but I don't know how many more times I can cast that spell.</span><br/><br/>Somehow, the human seemed to understand just what he was thinking from his safe spot in the bushes. "Just use an electric spell," he said quietly, a small, smug smile on his face. "It will be enough to finish him. Save the fire for the ones at full strength."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">I hate his attitude,</span>Black thought, letting loose a palm-sized ball of electricity. He just knew the human was smirking right now. The small spell was fast, shooting towards the shadowy warrior before connecting and delivering a satisfying shock. The being dissolved into darkness and was gone.<br/><br/>Well, now that Kyra was safe, it seemed some of the others had gotten themselves into trouble... Okay, one other. It looked like Skippy (and probably Lysonna, judging by the arrows) had taken out another horse, but now the Anithrope was being attacked by the unfortunate animal's rider.<br/><br/>The demon turned toward the two. He was sort of grudging against these shadow beings now, so if he could help out an ally by doing it, he may as well take down another one. Black raised his hand again and aimed carefully at the rider.<span style="font-style: italic">"Make sure there aren't any allies between you and your target,"</span>the human's words flashed through his head.<br/><br/>"Move, Skippy," the demon called, briefly using his telekinesis to pull the Anithrope to the side a ways. Immediately after, he loosed the fire spell. It spiraled out powerfully, just like before, hitting the thing square in the chest and dissipating it on the spot. It was a neat and powerful spell, but after this, he<span style="font-style: italic">might</span>be able to cast it once more. It was a shame, but he really had no manna stamina for fire spells.
