Copying Aran's movement and drawing enough mana through the air to compensate for the difference in strength, Mono punched him before he could punch Raven. However, just as her cold iron fingers touched his skin, a layer of iron scales grew on top of the left side of his face and dampened the blow. Even so, his feet skidded a few steps away from Raven and smoke began to rise from the base of the astral ship. Had it been for the fact that he would fall as well, Aran would've turned the ship phase-through and let the two have a dunk in the sea.
"That burns a little," cracking up with his raspy voice, Aran stretched his right hand and tried to call back his greatsword.
Held by one of the tentacles herself, Regalia yelped a little as she felt a strain being exerted on the summoned creature, but thankfully, the sword was far too deep into the hells to be brought back to the surface of this world.
