Alexandra stopped its raised foot on a slab of gold. Calypso drove her axe haft beneath the knee, and a second barrier formed against the back of the leg to stop it bending.
"Can you hold it there, Caly?" Alexandra asked through her teeth.
"For you? Of course!"
Kaiden fed fortification through Alexandra's bond and escalation through Calypso's, keeping Lust running as he hacked through the tendons of the opposite leg. The boss's weight lurched toward the limb pinned by the two women.
Calypso levered the trapped knee upward against Alexandra's barriers, rolling the Sovereign's chest toward Bastet and exposing the scorched plates.
The felinid's smile widened. White fire gathered between her palms, bright enough that the Ninth had to turn their faces away.
"Master, this may get warm."
Bastet blasted the exposed underside with a torrent of solar flame. The outer shell ran down its belly in glowing streams, and the flesh beneath ruptured in the heat.
"GGRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKH!!"
