The duergar that spoke spoke no more his throat cleaved in two as the other one next to him also felt instant death. There was no scream, because there was no pain.
There was no time for pain.
Kami's only stared, in shock as his sight revealed all, the pupil narrowing to a fine dot as he took a instinctive step over Tiani, unconsiously trying to protect her even as he stood watching as the Duegar were being slaughtered by the invisible assaliant, as black wings sliced thru flesh, the feathers as keen as any blade as they danced.
The wings moved out in strange patterns, easily being used for defense and offense , even as the elf in the middle of the deadly dance finally exploded into motion of his own. Ignoring the duegar at the moment as his own blade crossed into the path of the decending wing upon the next Duegar in line for slaughter.
The two met with a loud crack, the distant sound of thunder as sparks filled the room, a few specks flying into Kami's face as light droplets of blood emerged from the splinters of steel.
Kami grunted, his muscles shaking as he tried to hold the wing back from the killing blow. Not truly knowing why he even attempted to save the dwarves their very lives. They were duegar, and mostly of an evil weal. Yet he could not accept such mindless slaughter without parley, or any form of mercy.
So he held, his leg buckling as he fell to one knee against the supernatural strength of what only he could see, the other black wing streching out to the side as Kami blinked, feeling his energy seemingly being snuffed out by the sheer contact.
Growling, pushing off his weak legs as he tilted the wing's course to hit the ground even as he jumped to the side from the other wing as the twirl was complete. Both whistled thru the air, Kami rolling on the ground to ease himself into a sitting postion and quickly rushed back in, thrusting his sword...
Only to have the duegar see it halt in midair.
Silver eyes narrowed dangerously as his hair flailed about, his hands clenching the blade in a death grip as he sought to push it forward, a large splinter running down the blade from tip to tang as the tip suddenly snapped, then another piece of the blade, then yet another.
Five pieces of the blade laid down upon the stone flood, rent by the unseen force as Kami threw the hilt at what only he could see...
And the wings vanished.
The hilt skidded across the stone floor for a moment, as Kami glanced to the remaining duegar, wondering how he would escape this one, now with another to protect without his sword...
