Rughadjeen fell to the ground unceremoniously, having the air knocked out of him. Despite the protest of every single part of his body, he still willed himself to move, to get to his feet, get a better distance put between them and prepare. He had just been able to crawl and grab the handle of the Algol when his body and mind were hit by the monsters final and desperate attack. Each time he made to move his body resist, only now and then were his actions carried through. With a lot of struggling he managed to get to his feet, actions stopped more often than not. He had no remedies or Panacea's on him to cure himself of the paralysis so the only thing he could do was fight through everything.

It grew harder and harder as his own body wanted to succumb to exhaustion brought with the pain. His jaw clenched and he heaved the Algol up, each bombardment from the Mind Blast weakening him until he got close enough to the Soulflayer. He still remembered to keep his eyes away from the things own, despite the urge to watch the life slip away from it's eyes. He gripped the blade tighter and used the weight as well as his own to bash into the monster. Shifting his weight to stop himself toppling over, he brought the blade down upon the Flayer and pushed forward around it's abdomen. Closing his eyes and calling up on his magic his eyes opened when he was done and stared at his target as Holy was cast. The Flayer was wrapped in a bright light before the spell seemed to explode outwards.
