Thoroughly incensed, the beast managed to sweep one of it's bulky arms downward, and quickly grab Vin in it's disgusting, powerful hand.
"Let go of him!" Irina shouted from behind the monster, as it's forearm was restrained from behind by Irina holding Excalibur Mimic, transformed into a deadly blade-whip that dug it's blessed fangs deep into the stray's wrists.
It roared in pain, being unable to pivot to deal with the twin-tailed girl behind it thanks to Vin's crystals. Instead, the beast flung it's arm upward, causing Irina to be swept up out of the air. It was obvious that the creature was going to punch Irina with the same hand that held Vin, so not wasting a second, Vin touched one of his hands to the other, creating a long, sharp crystal blade that dug itself deep into the devil's palm.
With another booming roar, it compulsively opened its palm, allowing Vin, as squeezed and sore as he was, to harmlessly slip out of its grasp, and onto the ground below. As soon as he landed into a crouch, Vin willed his compressed and aching bones and muscles to act, as he ravenously swung his crystal blade into the back of the beast's massive exposed shin.
A testament to the advancements he made through training, Vin's blade didn't shatter, instead, it viciously dug deep into the hard muscle of the monster, like an axe to a tree.
Meanwhile, as soon as Vin slipped from the beast's grasp, Irina used the opportunity to land on the beast's arm, reforming her weapon into her preferred katana, before dashing up towards the shoulder of the creature, slicing a deep, poisonous wound into its hulking shoulder.
From the combined assault of the two exorcists, the stray devil thrashed around wildly. Knocking Irina off it's shoulder, as she backflipped to safety, and causing Vin to leap away from it's unharmed hand's attempt to grab him once more.
Geez, no wonder Griselda thought this thing was appropriate for Vin to take on, it was surprisingly predictable, and… dare he say it, but kinda easy too.
Oh boy, he just had to say it, didn't he?
Like a self-fulfilling prophecy, the stray devil let loose another earth-shattering roar, as its size and mass began to increase significantly. Gaps in it's fur along its body began to glow, coursing with a violet energy that only screamed one thing.
Danger.
With a great heave, the beast shattered the crystals around its feet, as it barreled directly towards Vin, it's hand outstretched, ready to grab and slam the boy until he was nothing but bloody paste on the earth below.
As it came towards him at breakneck speed, Vin could only help but ponder why exactly, it was always him who got the ire of these damn things. Why him, of all people?
Nevertheless, Vin shattered the arm blade that covered his one hand, and with the other, yanked his light-sword free, igniting the luminescent weapon in a fraction of a second. Time slowed down around him, as Vin dialed in his focus singularly on the target rapidly approaching him. He only had one change to pull this off…
Right as the beast was about to reach him, Vin darted forward, and dropped his back against the grass below in a slide. The sun was eclipsed by the massive meaty, quickly descending palm of the stray, yet Vin remained undeterred, holding the light-sword upwards as an extra layer of deterrent from the creature simply slapping him into an early death. If it worked as a surprise attack against Ezekiel, then Vin prayed to god that it would work here…
Vin swatted his open hand against the ground right next to him, and a massive spire of crystals surged forth from the earth, straight up towards the palm.
The result was carnage.
Vin closed his eyes as dark crimson blood sprayed over his face and body with nearly the ferocity of a power washer. The crystals had torn through the palm in the most ravenous way imaginable, flesh torn to shreds as the crystals made a brutal, messy exit out of the back of the beast's hand.
But Vin wasn't done yet, as even when his eyes were closed, he thrust the light-blade up into the palm for good measure, drinking in the somewhat sadistic catharsis of his weapon sinking deeper and deeper into the mess of an appendage.
The beast let loose an even greeted howl of pain, as Vin wasted no time scurrying out from under the sloppily suspended palm of the monster. Rubbing his eyes free of any blood, Vin cracked open his eyes, making eye contact with the eyes of the stray, which were filled with absolutely nuclear rage.
Vin grit his teeth, as he dug his right hand into his jacket, pulling free the loaded pistol, and as the exorcist scrambled away from the monster, he fired blessed bullets over and over again at the beast's head. It screamed as one of the bullet's found one of its eyes, thoroughly blinding it, as it sluggishly raised it's already incredibly wounded, yet not quite so impaled hand to block the rest of the gunfire.
"You did good. Now leave this to us."
Vin looked over, as a blue and black blur sprinted past him. Finally letting the nervous tension drop from his shoulders, Vin saw Xenovia swing Durandal into the side of the beast's leg, severing the appendage in one fatal stroke.
The ground shook as the stray devil collapsed over in a messy pile, it's blood pouring out from all around, staining the grass a deep hue. The amethyst glow of energy subsided, as the deep, labored breath of the nearly dead creature was the only audible sound in the clearing. It had since given up, it no longer had the time nor the energy to retaliate.
Xenovia stepped backwards, and with a few seconds of focus, Durandal was pulled back into its pocket dimension, leaving Xenovia panting on her knees from the exertion of wielding the fickle blade.
