Kratos growled under his breath as Lingormr shifted to block his strike. He hadn't simply let it pass through him, though; either his illusions were capable of tangibility, or Kratos had found the real thing. If it was the latter, he needed to continue pressing the attack. Kratos stepped forward, intent on a swift follow-up, only to be forced to violently twist away as Lingormr launched a dagger at him, the blade just narrowly missing his eye and slicing through some of his bangs instead.

Unfortunately, dodging forced him to look away for a brief moment, and by the time he'd regained his bearings, there were now five Lingormrs and no chance of identifying the real one. His chance gone, Kratos stepped back toward Rapunzel.

"I agree," he quietly told her. "I know you're concerned, but I need someone to focus on our original task. I'll take care of Eugene. Just find the x-ray room, and don't stop for anything else."
