Except the wings that had sprouted were created when his own bones stabbed outward through his back.
His non broken arm was quivering.
Two of his fingers on that hand were broken as well.
Blood was starting to leak out of his mouth as easily as puke.
No, it was more like a river had cut through and the water wouldn't stop flowing.
".... uuuu..... uuuuuggg.........NNG!"

Joe was standing right there, right at the edge of the circle that had been slammed into the ground.
Literally, the ring of the radius of the Gravity Blast was about a centimeter away from his toes.
His eyes were wide.
He was looking at Quovadis.
Was that guy's aim this good? Or was Joe almost just completely obliterated?
Did he just get lucky?

The fact that they had killed the monster and he was still alive meant he was lucky, to begin with.
But who was THAT lucky?

Joe, then, in that moment, fell over backwards and collapsed from his Injuries.

Joe's CRITICAL status has reverted to an INJURY
Joe's class has changed to Young HERO
Quo's class has changed to Sureshot

Quo tilted his head, looking at Joe. "Hey. You alri-...."
His voiced trailed off, growing completely quiet.

There was a crunching sound as Proto Fiend's knee touched the ground.
Then, with a groan of immense pain... it pushed itself to its feet.
Blood was dripped out of its skull, which was split open.
But-... But-.... He was now, still, alive.
And glaring at Quo with killing intent.

"G-... Gotta reload!" Quo lowered the Z Gun and began tampering with the power source.
There was no way he'd make it in time, though.

At that moment, the watcher from the world of Est, acted.
He cast Haste on Quo in that exact moment [A].
Proto Fiend flew at Quo with all of his rage and terror.
But Quo... felt his body become light and quick.
He couldn't speed up the gun or make it recharge any faster, but... he could at least escape!

Quo dashed backwards away from the first strike of the enemy.
As the Proto Fiend slashed at him, the splattered of blood flew from his broken arm.
He wasn't just slashing with his good claw,
No!
This monster didn't even know pain.
It didn't even know its own limits!
The only thing it knew was blood and death and wanting to destroy everything it saw.
A broken arm didn't matter.
It was slashing wildly with both arms.
The stone floor was cleaved open as it slashed upward from where Quo had been a moment ago.
Then he dashed after the gunslinger and spun through the air with a tornado strike.

Quo hit the wall and was forced to brace himself,
before kicking off of it and flying through the air.
Even with this speed it was only possible to stay one step ahead of his opponent.
Once the spell wore off he'd be grabbed in an instant and ripped in half.

He needed back up, but... but Joe was down... and there was no one else!

Short fired Combustion into the air, trying to erupt the enemy in flames.
The Demon had already seen the error of his ways,
He was thinking this Proto Fiend could be used to disrupt the Fairies and free his home realm of Hell.
But now he realized if he let it run free it would just kill him and everyone else here.
However, the enemy surged through the hot air like it was nothing.
Its skin burned brightly now, but it didn't seem deterred at all by the attack.

Mara, though she held the Diamond Edge, was nowhere near fast enough to keep up with this battle.
All she could do was quietly track the movements of the enemy from the shadows,
And hope that it came close enough that she might land a surprise attack.
But that didn't seem to be happening.

Quo found himself slowing down.
It would all come to an end soon.
