Mussla could feel Zebediah's energy ripple through the sand Mussla's own very dormant energy slowly stirred in response, shaking the very grouns and sky the shinigami and vizard occupied. It was a tame response and showed only a fraction of what Mussla was capable of, "I'm not one for fun, Zebediah. I'm not some brute that finds happiness in a war's agony... I've never been much like my kind. I only do what is absolutely nescessary to survive, and fighting you unfortunately is not nescessary." Mussla's dull voice echoed through the bog's entirety slowly fading in and out of the trees. Pale green strands of reishi began to force their way out from under the bog sand and Mussla's low flowing energy violently surged causing the faint tremors in the bog to intensify, "However, this is not the first time you have burdened me and I can tell it will not be the last either..." A large sinkhole slowly formed under Zebediah, a think yellow sand was being pushed out from the center of the hole, "Liberer..." Mussla whispered to the sand as it's speed rapidly increased.
The sinkhole started to pull trees and large boulders underground, a few unfortunate hollows as well, "Careen les oceanes..." he added to the already monstrous technique. A pool of clear water slowly filled the center of the sinkhole. Slowly Mussla had formed a tiny sea like arena for him and Zebediah, this area was much cooler and smelled of intoxicating sea foam. "Covet~" Mussla said softly as a small patch of sand rose from the center of the pool of sea water, a large green shell dome rose from behind him effectively covering his backside and left and right from attacks leaving only his front open. Eight tentacles of sand rose from all sides of his small island, the water surrounding his island rippled uniformly signifying Mussla's innate sense of inner balance, "Let's see if those fangs of yours can pierce my shell." he said taunting Zebediah.
