He grinned at her, before actually laughing as she split. "No, you didn't...? You actually did it, didn't you? Oh well, makes it a bit easier. Have a nice day, bitch."<br/><br/>He waited until they were right on top of him, before he released the third spell he was holding, a phasing spell. It wouldn't work on her weapons very well, but it wasn't for those sharp pointies. Instead, he simply discharged the ice orb, her momentum and split forms in such tandem that she was likely putting a good bit of her attention into that, rather than preparing to dodge, a stupid mistake he had doubted she would make this early. The ice orb's discharge filled the room, the air not staying frozen long, but the walls and beings it hit froze solid. He grinned at the three frozen Maraliths, before splitting the orb into three smaller ones, and having them float into the frozen beyonder host. "You lose, bitch. See you on the flip side."<br/><br/>He watched the three ice sculptures dissolve into nothingness as the balefire orbs' energies spread through them, and he sighed, before turning around. "Alright, a quick once around victory lap, recording everything for Nadriina and Serena to dissect later, and then I take this place apart."<br/><br/>He spoke loudly, even though only he was in the room, and did just that, ran a victory lap around the room, and then did a slow spiral in, using a recorder built into the armor to record and transmit everything to the Oversoul, who would store the information gathered for the more magical research inclined goddesses to study. That done, he headed to the center, and knelt down, hands on the floor, all of his defenses down as he 'read' the circle, noting what it was supposed to do, and began twisting it to not do that. He was slightly tense, like a spring ready to pop, as if he knew something was about to happen.
