Heimdall stepped back, also. He had no idea what went over Xanriel, but he seemed... malignant, even. Zanthos was right, he thought. One of these days, I will have to search his mind. The Fallen Elves took a step back when Xanriel took out his weapon.
"So," said the one in the front, "You want to fight? We'll fight!" His hand flew to his longsword, but Xanriel was already upon him, slashing downwards. In one clean stroke, the man was sliced into a left half and a right half. Xanriel laughed - he actually laughed - as he killed the Elf. The other six elves already had their weapons drawn. Three of them sent strange beams of chaotic energy soaring at Xanriel, who ducked under them. They hit the counter of the inn. One of them froze the counter. Another one splintered the wood. The third one simply hit the wood and dissipated. "Chaos Seeds," said Heimdall.
Xanriel ducked and weaved through the Fallen Elves, feinting and slicing. It was as if he was drunk; his motions were erratic and slurred, making it all the more difficult for his enemies to predict where he would strike next. He had lopped off the heads of two Fallen Elves and had injured another on the shoulder. The remaining four elves clustered together, shields up.
"Alright, you crazy angel. It's time to show you what REAL powers we have." One of the Elves - a thin, scraggly one - raised a palm. Nothing seemed to happen. Suddenly, the inkeeper screamed in pain. Heimdall watched in utter horror as the inkeeper's skin changed to a sickly pink, his arms became clawed and grew to enormous lengths, and his body contorted in an utterly deformed way. Abomination, Heimdall breathed. Ragen was upon the monstrosity, smashing it over and over, but every time Ragen injured it, it only deformed the creature further. He could not land a killing blow.
Meanwhile, the four Elves converged upon Xanriel, weapons glinting menacingly. Xanriel stabbed the injured one in the chest and whipped around, parrying the rest of the thrusts. Heimdall lifted a broken section of the counter telekinetically, flinging it at the nearest Fallen Elf. He stumbled backwards and Xanriel scored an easy kill. Meanwhile, Zanthos shot another in the chest. There was only one remaining.
"Time to pay your taxes," Xanriel screeched maniacally, dispatching the last elf with a slash to the throat.
