As relatively indestructible as he was, his ability to actually inflict damage was not so much greater than the average person, as was painfully shown with the dragon. Shadow informed him they were to retreat, and he saw Ulfric unconscious. "I guess there's no easy teleportation this time. In that case I'll catch up when I feel the need."<br/><br/>Nightmare waded back into the battle, going for the giant monsters that were running rampant. He used his spike like a tether, pulling him away from the maws of doom, and into a better position to use his magical sword upon their hide. With a few swift cuts, the creatures small limbs stopped working, and they could but flail on the ground. Another source of magic was the only thing that could stop his blade, the thickest monster hide being like water before it.<br/><br/>The problem became apparent. The human's were becoming less numerous, and more of the beasts began to turn their attention to Nightmare, and he found himself on the defensive more than the attack. Cloaking himself in his own personal smokescreen, he darted away, putting distance between himself, any remaining humans, and the mindless mob of monsters. Even if the creatures tried to track him down by scent, it would prove useless as he was a magical tin can, and had no real scent to speak of.<br/><br/>As he crested a hill, he found an interesting corpse. A young human, by the looks of the face, but it had scales all over it's barely clothed body, in patches. It was unconscious and bleeding slightly from the ears. Obviously that sound attack had been more effective on him than nightmare. Even he had found it difficult to move while the music reverberated through his body. Nightmare would have left the boy, but he remembered his recent fight with the dragon, remembering what Jeffery had said about their magic possibly being able to undue him. Perhaps having one of them on his side wouldn't be a bad idea? He roughly threw the strange kid over his shoulder and proceeded back to the onsen, the energy of his master pinpointing him directly towards it.
