His head jerked back a bit, as if he had snorted in amusement, and he gestured to his sides, four large crystal spikes breaking off from his wings to hover beside him, countering her attacks. "You aren't sneering anymore, I'elen. Did I offend you somehow, those sneers and denouncements were my only hope for amusement here, I'elen. Come, tell me they have nothing to teach us, I'elen."<br/><br/>The spikes worked like Draiss' combat drones, but preformed as every drone combined into one, offense, defense, interference, and enhanced situational awareness even as the drones continued to automatically counter and negate every shot that missed, allowing him to focus on I'elen, who fought alone. He was going to force her attention apart, the multiplanarverse stunted the beyonder's extra senses, and while she could duplicate his actions, hers weren't tested and prepared before hand. There would be mistakes, errors, blind spots, and every one of those he found and used would drive her defenses further and further apart, like the shell on an oyster, right before he put a balefire beam into her gemstone. He stepped forward, clearly intent on meeting her in close combat, just like Draiss would, meeting her in her specialty and crushing her head on in it, totally destroying her. He let her get close, before his tail lashed up and across, a sheath of balefire around it, as he tossed a singularity bomb to the side and detonated so that it was on the other side of her from the unstable portal. Both led to beyonder space, so the reaction should be... impressive.
