The slash connected and the goop shuddered howling as parts of its body returned to being goop. The orb was damaged badly but still intact, which meant it lived but weakened as it lost control over a good portion of its mass. It shuddered but persisted in its attack now a humanoid in apperance as it formed a blade slashing down at River.
River would slash towards its blade which cut it cleanly in half, only for it to reform as it stuck together. A grotesque smile would form across its face as it sliced downwards cutting River across the chest. River gasped out in pain although thankfully the wound was not too deep.
With the smile a slight red glimmer would reveal the location of the orb to River. He slashed towards the upper portion of its head and struck something hard, a crack resounded before the goop pile collapsed on itself. The red orb would fall to the ground ¼ of it was cut off. The other ¼ still attached would break off the main portion of the orb as it crashed onto the floor.
River would wipe the grime off his chest, the VoidBorn now a broken core and a pile of gross sludge. With that creature taken care off he would go back to join the main fight to hold the lines while also to push back the invaders. Although before he could reach to join in something was thrown hard into the lines which tore through the soldiers shield wall. Panicked shouts rang out but were drown out by the clashing of blades as the troops tried to reform their lines.
River raised up his new pink blade to the surge of VoidBorn as they charged forwards seeking to bring death. Although before they got the chance to deal any major damage a black beam passed by River eviscerating any VoidBorn who got in the way. The beam would leave a large gaping hole through the ranks of VoidBorn who struggled to fill it up. As a result the soldiers were able to gain considerable ground against the VoidBorn.
River looked over to see Izaiah rise up from the smoking crater with an outstretched hand. Although it seemed that Izaiah was currently facing off against a very troublesome opponent at the moment. She was missing a shoulder pauldron while the remainder of her armour was damaged with multiple slashes. Her outfit was also torn up with some physical injuries. Although those injuries seemed shallow, just like an extremely close call when dodging an attack. Despite that her blood was black in colour a sign that she was not a human.
"Tch… that one is strong, ahhh… what a pain." Izaiah said as she got up with a groan using her spear as a form of support.
