Draiss was saved by his brain FINALLY catching up with him, and realizing that he was as powerful as he had been when he had fought his shadow clone. He immediately realized what that meant, that this was not, technically, the first floor, but the five hundredth and first floor, as well as what had been guarding it. He immediately put up a double layered shield, and leaped backwards, putting a max power balefire ball at the cat, forcing part of its shadows to go defensive. He knew about this kind of creature, shadow dancers who could animate multiple shadows, but that it could do this many, of that power, was simply insane, even to him. He sent Ama a mental warning, that she needed to switch to something other than vision, and dropped a quickened, enlarged greater darkness orb on the room, completely dousing the room in total, true darkness, keeping the creature from animating more shadows to get them. He then flipped backwards, finally landing from the blow, and flash stepped forward and behind the cat's last known location, trusting his blind sense, and lashed out with a balefire blade, completely ignoring the scimitar on his back, figuring it wouldn't work on a boss.
