The demon, no remants of Edgard left, rises taller and taller on his spindly legs, stretching into his true form and then leans down and with an equally spindly arm knocks down Mobius, dagger clattering. The audacity of this man to yell at him and also attack him!
The mouth opens again full of teeth and gives a preternatural screech and then abruptly stops. Even the demon isn't quite sure what happened, did he run out of voice the way humans do sometimes? The pain then consumes him and he realizes that he has been struck in the throat. He tries to screech again and with every gutteral gasp--once, twice, and again the arrow digs itself deeper. The demon makes vicious eye contact with Loxley realizing who struck him.
The demon's legs appear to fail, it's large enough now that the fall is tremendous and takes down two more bookcases with it. Then the demon is gone--into the floor? Only to appear under Loxley, knocking him head over feet. But the demon is unable to rise tall as before and with one more hitching gasp, it explodes into a slimy sludge that rains down on the others and the books.
cw: idk its gross
