cw: eye gore...

Sebastian follows up after Barnaby by striking directly into the Sanctifier's left eye with his demon's claws to mutilate it.

When Ciel had said they were at war, he had expected something a little more traditional, you know. A battlefield full of mortals bathed in blood and misery, that sort of thing. It was where he thrived. But this beast, goodness... Well, no rest for the wicked and all of that.

It's simple enough to scale the Citadel, and he's glad to see that it's the same for his two companions. There's some amount of trust that he's placing in both of them, which is something he doesn't lightly give, though there's little choice in the matter. Luckily, they were both the practical sort, so there wasn't any question or qualms with what he planned to do. Ciel's attack comes first, and the crackle of magical energy in the air makes Sebastian smile slightly, but it's once Barnaby leaps that it grows in nothing short of excitement. After all, the Sanctifier wasn't the only beast here. His prey may be much larger than normal, but a demon is a creature that delights in bloodshed.

Sebastian crouches low on his chosen vantage point to give extra leverage, then shoots off as he too jumps towards the Sanctifier's head. His strength is significant as well as he collides with its skull, which likely doesn't feel great on its own, but he has a very particular target in mind. He lands near its eye, and a more slender and inhuman hand immediately digs into the flesh nearby with much more strength than a human possesses, and the claws it bears cut through flesh much more easily than any blade. After all, he doesn't want to be thrown off. Sebastian pulls his other hand back, and it's more clearly seen as kenoma-black claws, though only for a moment. It's a glimpse of the monster that's hidden underneath his human mask, just like the way his eyes nearly glow and his smile is split with nothing short of sadistic pleasure.

The clawed hand goes deep into the Sanctifier's eye, as far as he can push it before it comes up to his elbow or he meets the bone behind the eye, whichever comes first. He jerks that hand sharply as he rends through the nerves and the vitreous humor, since he's intentionally causing as much damage as possible in the time he has. This isn't just damaging it so much as nearly gouging it out with his hand alone, were it not so large. If they're the first to attack, then he has to do his part to disable it for everyone to follow.

It's a good thing that every creature, no matter how large, has very soft eyes.
