Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)
"Those two... I need you three to join them, but two is good enough if that is how you want it." the girl called back to her, not really agreeing to co-operate as it appeared she had played some part in the disappearance of the two hunters. Somehow, it still looked as if she was not completely sure she should be doing this.
The small break was still good enough that it allowed the girls to reload, Shiulin too replacing the bolts she had fired already to take her back into the max three shots. The two opened fire once again to break the stalemate, Adelle's shots on one gun puncturing the wall-mounted fire extinguisher, which began to spray the powder within onto the girl nearby. This was a good enough distraction, limiting what she could see and react to for some time. It affected her defenses right away, the diminished sight preventing her from anticipating how the two targeted her. While Adelle's other shot still failed to get anything done, Shiulin hit a second time with her bolts, the shield arms failing to intercept it as they appeared to be more tooled towards blocking bullets. The situation looked a lot bleaker to the girl now as she had a bolt in her thigh and shoulder both.
And to make things worse, Lacrimosa had gathered herself again, having recovered from the overhead fist faster than expected. Showing another feat of monster strength, the nun forced herself to all fours with the weight still pushing her down, somehow managing to do that from a completely downed position. Even better, she slid one hand out and gripped the side of the palm that was keeping her down, fighting against it with one hand before she pulled herself away from the pin and slid a few feet away with a roll along the floor. Quickly standing up, the nun looked like she was in pain, but did her best to not let it hinder her.
