The man sent out more attacks at them. The Dragoons attempted to dodge, but they were not known for their agility. Two were hit more or less straight on. One of these was the lopsided one from earlier. That one collapsed and dissipated into threads of darkness, vanishing entirely.

The other Dragoons considered this and sent one of their remaining three out to continue the destruction elsewhere. It scurried off. That left two to take on the strange man with the energy and the woman. One Dragoon stormed the man, raising his spear to strike, while the other went around to the side, waiting as backup and keeping his eye on the woman, snapping his teeth at her to frighten her.
