Rune did not want to give Marilith a chance to recover. Upon knocking her down, he jumped up and prepared to bring his blade down on her neck.
'A fatal strike, just one clean blow is all I need..!'
But his blade never reached her. Before he could make contact, Marilith's scales began to blink out of control. She writhed around on the ground, tossing her gigantic body this way and that as she screamed once more.
"Get away! The second wave is coming!!"
Rune switched sword to a one-handed grip and punched their air to create a shockwave and change is trajectory. He landed on the ground and retreated with everyone following after.
