Moving with swiftness that was unseen by the four women, he extended his open palm and struck Tilke right in the chest, not too powerfully, measuring his strength to merely push her away, then, without utilising his previously overwhelming speed, he rose his staff of sort and brought it down toward Marlene, who, having already taken her sword out, was able to block the strike.
"Ah, that is interesting!" like reading an open book, Faraday was able to clearly see the inner workings of the ability she had just used, indeed, a simple block of her paltry blade shouldn't have stopped this strike so simply, the force flowed from the staff and into the blade.
Swinging her sword, it was clear that it now carried the force Faraday's blow and that of the unwanted's own slash.
This allowed her to easily cleave through the skeletons encased in metal by parrying them only once, an ability that was both a perfect defence and great offence, Faraday blocked the strike with his pinky.
His interest was piqued, but he was not impressed, backhanding straight in the face, just in time for Ariandnel to shoot a plethora of arrows straight in the air, the arrows each defied the laws of gravity as they flew through the air, homing in on Faraday without losing even a slight bit of their momentum.
"Would you look at this Slotriig, the guys that came to destroy me are actually not bad! Not anywhere near an Ynigós or Liameilos but then again, they are exceptions" reminiscing aloud, he flicked the pesky projectiles away, not even turning to look as he clearly sensed Irgot appearing behind him.
It was rather obvious that slashing and piercing would be rather ineffective against a skeleton forged out of steel, so the dark elf slammed the base of the hilt right on the back of his skull, for no damage whatsoever, Irgot felt a ripple coursing throughout her entire skeleton.
Turning his body a bit, he put his arm around the sneaky elf, much in the same an older brother would grab a younger sibling, and headbutted her with much more restraint an actual sibling would have, it still concussed her on the spot, taking hold of her by the back of her collar he dropped her a distance away.
"Oh, Slotriig, look at that, she is killing herself!" Faraday clapped his hands, sounding like two anvils falling on top of one another.
"Listen well everyone, whilst that girl is busy adapting to the power of the lightning, I will explain one of the greatest heights of energy manipulation" crossing his hands behind his back, he ignored the powering up Marlene and began his explanation, Slotriig shaking his head in the distance, his master was clearly much too bored.

"Zone! What is a zone I hear you asking Miss ogress?" he spoke to the bleeding woman on the floor.
"Simple, it is the mastery of outer manipulation to convert ambient mana in an area into your own, granting you effectively infinity mana, the ability to deny your opponent outer manipulation, spawning spells from anywhere within the zone, simply using the mana to instil pressure upon the enemy, or better, inscribe a spell directly into the zone!" he lowered his head.
"That is the basics of this supreme act, but I have never attained it, the closest I got was my cage, the Faraday cage!" perfectly timed with Marlene growing used to the rampant lightning, he manifested forth the cage in question.
It was shaped like a sphere, forming directly around the unwanted without allowing her time to react, an act of outer manipulation, the divine force was sucked right back out and given back to Faraday.
"Well, then there is dominion, territory and such, but I seem to have lost most of my audience..." Faraday was just clowning around, a very non-undead thing to do but he was still killing them at least.
"Loimos, come back in, I'll teach a few more things" he ignored the still living adventurers, motioning for Slotriig to finish the job, which he did by stomping on them.
