By the end of Vera's vicious spell, the scrawny humanoid demon barely stood on his two feet. Now not only on his back, but bloody holes also appeared all over his body, some bigger than others depending on how deep the sharp darkness spikes had penetrated into his body.
If the scrawny humanoid demon still had the ability to fly, then his condition might not be as miserable as he currently is, but due to Vera's unexpected counter spell that burned the scrawny humanoid demon's wings, making those wings a liability instead of a tool that the scrawny humanoid demon could use to save himself, the humanoid demon was forced to defend himself amidst the hundreds of protruding darkness spikes with only his two feet and his barely manifested spells.
