[ How long has he been here, for a month? It's longer than some Spirits get summoned for, and the weird - scary? - part is that he's starting to attune to those plains of Heavens. There is a sense of wrongness from the presence of those creatures here, he's really getting in the mindset that they shouldn't be here.
All more reasons to cut this short- or stab it short, in this particular case.
Right now his focus is to get shit done quickly with -his- ayakashi here, but he can't help and glance curiously from a corner of his eye, at the magical spectacle Zelda is doing. Imagining how much fun it would be if she had her shinki here as well-- or maybe not, that's a distraction and nearly earns him getting hit.
Caster dodges the next swing with a bark of laughter, short and coarse- he's so close he only needs to extend his hand to write an Ansuz rune right on the ayakahi's massive torso. The fire explosion cannot damage it, but it can confuse, and oh- well, anger it. He slides under the creature and delivers his own blow, driving the projected spear through the ayakashi.
Once, twice, dodge- easier now since it's weakened-, spin the makeshift spear for pure flourish while flanking then repeat from the start. Like hunting a boar, or maybe fighting off a bear rather...
Bear is a better comparison, given how fast it is, and how far it can throw with just one hit, even close to death-throes- ooops. The sudden flight, and sting of blight was not planned, but is hardly a problem- ]
