Xaren didn't dare unfurl his wings, knowing that the rocks tumbling around him would cause far more damage if they struck.
With his grip tight around Ralguth's neck, he drove a punch into the demon's face mid-air, then twisted his body with the momentum.
Though disoriented from the sudden blow to his nose, Ralguth quickly realized Xaren's intent—he was trying to use him as a crash pad to break his fall.
Ralguth struggled, his wings snapping open as he tried to use their spiked edges to stab Xaren. But before he could, a falling rock and a spear of light magic fired by the angels above tore through them, dealing severe damage.
The sudden impact sent both of them careening off-course, and Xaren used the momentum to spin again, forcing Ralguth to take the brunt of the impact against the ravine wall.
