Ace reaches the Nightrenders surrounding Elle just as she uses one of them to knock two of the others back to the ground.
"Nice move!"
Ace draws on the Rage that has always been a part of him. Whatever aspect of Gaia brought him here, he would do his part to save her and eventually she would be saved. These abominations dare to stand in the way of that and he is there to deliver her righteous fury.
These creatures are resilient but there are few foes of Gaia that can completely resist the claws and fangs of her chosen warriors.
The display of ferocity, grace and death that follows is awesome to behold. Ace was built for exactly this and he has spent his life and at least one afterlife in diligent practice. Unfettered by any doubt, given the freedom to strike with complete confidence he is a fearsome foe.
Almost faster than the eye can see he tears huge gashes and splinters bones. Precise strikes to load-bearing joints and huge maiming slashes to hands and mouths seem designed to disable and failing that demoralize the two closest Nightrenders.
It seems indeed that the beings cannot be killed, but neither do they seem excited to test that theory before the renewed vigor of their opponent and his harrowing strikes.
The Nightrenders are hunters and they have a predator's instincts. There is easier prey than this. The two Ace has wounded and the other standing between him and Elle turn and flee.
