The pain began to subside, and Niki felt some of her strength return as she forced herself to stand.
Still somewhat dumbfounded, she stared at the woman, before her attention was grabbed by the now recovered creature.
"Oh for..." she muttered before glowering at him, her hands shooting out to grab him by the neck as she lifted him up and twisted, the head separating from the body as the whole creature turned to dust.
She watched the dust blow away in the wind for a moment before looking back at the woman.
