Mateus is a coward, pure and simple. But backed into a corner, its desperate. Ordinarily it would not be fighting, but this is the final showdown as far at its concerned. Its trident flickers out to meet Gilgamesh's attacks, using its weight and height to try and drive the smaller Yahri back. Six arms rush up to block a vicious overhanded stroke and it accepts the blow from Freya as the cost of not being torn apart by a Buster sword. Snarling as more blood runs down its front, the monster twists, its mouth opening and spraying another blast of ice at Freya.

Pen gives Minako a quick look, flexing her fingertips. Its becoming obvious that Mateus isn't going anywhere fast. Not with Gil and Freya there to harry it and hold its mobility down, a bit like a boar dealing with a pack of wild dogs. It has a size and strength advantage over any of them, but there's no way it can deal with so many.

"Minako, want to see if Mateus likes electricity more than its friends?"
