The demon backs off a step after being wounded giving me a chance to glance past him to check on the soldiers. Bones has engaged the middle group and they are stopped for the moment, but those on the wings are still coming straight for me. The rebel's foot troops are far behind them but the rebel cavalry is almost in range to attack them.
My focus returns to the shadow demon as he steps forward to swing again. As I parry I push his sword out to the side and step forward and snap my head down until my forehead impacts the demon's nose. As it staggers I release Blitz with one hand and grab the demon by the throat.
'Create Soulscape!'
This time for the soulscape I keep it simple, we are both standing in the middle of an arena. As I open my eyes I am hit by some kind of shadow explosion that sends me flying. Then while I am still in the air I get hit by several shadow bolts, this demon is not like the others I have fought in here.
