By the time Sorio had come to Isolda's aid, he was all too prepared to avoid the razor-clawed mutants' attacks; his defense was impeccable, as the wanderer had come to learn first hand, and it wasn't to wilt against the likes of these furious pariahs. The first of them swung at the Talean's face, using both hands in a telegraphed, yet swift lunge. Understanding that attempting to simply block the sharp, ichor-covered nails would likely do him no good in the long run, Sorio tucked his chin and shoulders downward, weaving right past his attacker. The clawed brute, noticing that his own wild swing had caused the boxer to move past him without chance of a counterattack, thanks to the other untouchables, took the opportunity to rush up towards the mill's rooftop in an attempt to flank Isolda, who had just entered within range of the shard-hurling trio.
It proved to be a case of incredibly poor timing on the assailant's part, as he rushed right into one of Isolda's dark tendrils, only to find his life force drained thanks to the extension's corruptive influence. Likewise, the three rogues up on the building with the swordswoman hadn't so much as completed their throws before the potent Voidic energies reached them. This misty, black essence, found in many locales within the Void itself, was highly corruptive in its own right. Normally, breathed in as air, it would slowly warp one's mind and body into disarray, turning a normally orderly mind into a sick perversion of what it once was. But concentrated, it was debilitating for many. The way Isolda had conjured it, compressed to an even higher degree, it was deadly. This was an ability characteristic of some Void Demons--whose natural affinity with their own realm made it much easier for them to work with Voidic gates. The four mutants surrounding Isolda were reduced to nothing more than withered corpses by the time she finished, and in the aftermath, the cut upon her cheek, along with the other wounds on her body, closed up, leaving her looking as if nothing had ever happened.
A glance down from the roof would tell Isolda that her athletic ally was faring reasonably well against his attackers, slipping, bobbing and easily avoiding each furious swipe from an assortment of clawed hands. The sheer size of the untouchables' primary weapons said more than enough in terms of what kind of damage they could cause upon a successful hit, but not one landed upon Sorio's thick skin. More impressive was his footwork, allowing him to dodge one, then the other without ever being completely surrounded due to developed instincts that kept him at the edge of the cluster at all times instead of charging straight into it. No matter how desperately they sought to swarm him, they could never quite pin the boxer down, as he remained in a state of perpetual motion.
Then, he began his counterattack. As the last of the remaining five slashed at Sorio desperately, leading with their left claw, the more experienced fighter dropped low, delivering a looping right hand that landed flush on the creature's chin. His well-timed counter instantly shattered bone and effectively severed the hapless foe from its consciousness. Despite a most impressive down, he remained keen to observe the others, ready to move again if he needed to. He didn't, and the four regrouped together closer to where Isolda stood, just above them. With their focus remaining on her ally, the swordswoman had an opportunity to strike the lot of them, either employing Serpentinus' deadly reach or an alternative tactic, if she was so inclined.
