Hollow

Though Reinaan's weight wasn't enough to bring the creature to ground, the boy's dive did manage to halt the Elemental's movement, making it unable to grab Keres. Seeing the creature hunched over with the front of it's body exposed, Lindow quickly dashed forward whilst drawing both his Bandit Cleaver and the Third Blade. "You sure took your time..." Cyan lighting crackled in the air as the man used his speed to quickly close the distance and slash at the Elemental's extended arm with his blades of magic and steel. Just like before, once the limb was severed, the flames around where the bone had been began to flail erratically as if desperately looking for a way to keep form. Smiling at this development, Lindow made his way to the Elemental's front, readying himself for his next attack. However, before he could strike, a jet of flame shot forward from the monster's back, passing the ribs in an attempt to scorch the Thunder Chosen. Forced into a roll to avoid being burned, Lindow landed on his knees with the Third Blade's lighting still chirping in his palm. Roaring with effort, Lindow reached up to the sky, commanding the blade of thunder magic to extend to it's full length before swinging it back down towards the Elemental with all his might. The fire's of the Elemental quickly flared around the skull to block the attack. Leaving Lindow struggling to maintain the Third Blade's form as he tried to push against the creature's defenses. He could already feel his energy draining, meaning he couldn't keep this up for much longer...

"What are you doing?!" Lindow's voice boomed across the battlefield as he watched Keres become paralyzed by the aura of the demon gate and the gravity of their situation. With Damien charging headlong towards his death, and their best chance of victory resting in the Water Chosen's trembling hands, Lindow forced himself to his feet with a growl before bursting into movement once more. "Do you plan on just standing there trembling whilst the others are fighting for their lives, little Keres?! If that's the case, then come here... I'll kill you myself and use whatever is left of your power to keep pushing forward!" His eyes were cold and focused as glared at the witch whilst quickly unstrapping his shield and pulling it off his arm. "We've long since given up the luxury of being bystanders." Taking a defiant step towards the Elemental, Lindow ripped his gaze away from Keres. "If you want live... then fight. It's that simple." Quickly lining up his shot, Lindow drew his stance back briefly before skillfully sending the Bandit's shield spinning through the air towards the Elemental's arm. The shield found it's mark mere seconds before the creature's flame came crashing down on Damien, allowing the young man the precious instant he needed to slip under and go in to slash at the Elemental's torso. Seeing this, Lindow quickly cocked back and tossed his chipped dagger towards the Elmental's face before moving towards Keres. He watched as the blade glanced off the monster's skull moments before Damien sliced at it's spine, suffering more burns in the process. "Tsk," At this rate, the other man would die before reinforcements could arrive, and even with his skills, Lindow was skeptical about his chances of slaying this creature on his own.
