The crows themselves were obviously abnormal, too, being the sources of much of the fire, lightning, and acid thrown around. And Hector could tell that they were even more dangerous than they looked, because Abbas was clearly trying his best to avoid them. If the Lord Saqqaf could just ignore their attacks and blast through, he assuredly would've been.

But what in the fuck was up with Bloodeye? Worwal's description of a "strange transformation power" was an understatement if ever there was one. The guy looked like some kind of demonic alligator-goblin, which might've also implied mutation, but his body was frequently shifting between its solid form and crimson smoke.

Hector had seen such shifting before with Xuan Sebolt's usage of transfiguration and pan-rozum.

Bloodeye's fumes seemed to be having a harder time keeping up with Abbas than the crow guy did, so perhaps that was why Dimas chose to go after him first.

A hail of gravitic bullets sprayed across Bloodeye's horned backside, peppering it with bloody holes and making the monster turn his head toward them.

An instant later, Hector had a present for him, too.

A giant ball of iron, as big as a car, launched via his orbital technique.

It clobbered him, carrying him off into the distance.

Which actually surprised Hector a little bit. He hadn't expected that to work quite so well. But then again, that was a quite literal ton of solid iron he'd just flung at the guy, and there was nothing up here for Bloodeye to brace himself against.

Inertia and momentum had been on his side for that particular interaction. He had no doubt that Bloodeye would be back, though--and soon.

But in the meantime, they could gang up on the crow guy with Abbas.
