"Looks like we have our work cut out for us."

'The large one that they avoided, or rather, had done its rounds was a boon at least. Most likely they would have to defeat it with a more brute force method as its body would likely soak up most venoms without issue. It would probably make a difficult one for her to defeat, so avoiding it for the time being was good even if they would have to return for it potentially later on. Still, looked like they had been fortunate enough to run into a small group of snakes while eluding that large one. They should still be quick to not arouse the attention of the other, so she would send the blades toward the five and move in, planning to stick close to them so that there wouldn't be as much noise or movement necessary from either side.'

It would be a close range battle that would unfurl now, Leon also joining the fray to engage with the serpents. They would quickly converge on the duo, aiming to use their tails and length to strike, ensnare, and bite into their targets. The strength of the compressions would also aim to snap the bones of any unfortunate to be caught up in the swirl of momentum, making the ongoing fight an ordeal that would need to be resolved swiftly before the lasting damage would build up and cause defeat thanks to the staggering vitality of their foes that the assassins would strike at constantly.

'Unsurprisingly, escaping the entire swarm unscathed wasn't truly possible. While she would escape some of it and strike back in kind, eventually the lashing tail would strike roughly enough to disturb her balance enough to be ensnared so they could tighten their grasp and use their fangs. It left her strength sapped, but not necessarily her vitality as she could continue to feed off of theirs and fight accordingly. She would aim to do just that, not needing to isolate any of them while she would keep up the attack against her marks, knowing that she at least still held the upper hand even if her defenses had crumbled a fair deal from the start of the encounter.'

It was a constant flurry of motion as the snakes attempted to ensnare him as well to no avail for the time being, aiming the wave at the ground beneath him to erupt in a geyser to disperse the enemies that surrounded him. Still, they would swarm anew to strike at them, this time with even greater fervor thanks to their building momentum.

'She was already in the mood to need to mend her outfit from the warfare leading from Battla to the conclusion at Miedo, but the serpents were aiming to make new issues for her wardrobe as well. They sped up, landing more blows and bites as a result as she let out a low hiss as a result, blades at the ready as she sought to snuff the remaining life out of them with a swift barrage, tearing through the four that remained with precise and deadly blows. While her wounds and vitality would mend themselves thanks to the inflictions, it was still problematic to deal with the pain and lingering effects related to it even though they remained victorious.'

Her continued blows would bear fruit as she would manage to snuff out the life from the remaining four, clearing the path for them to continue on toward Zephyrius. As planned, the larger serpentine hadn't come after them, meaning they were clear for further passage to make their way through the Plains of Cinder and toward the mountains as desired.
