March of Darkness
The centaurs charged, some slipping on the blood Spirry puked out, some tripping on the bony projections that grew out the flesh. But the charge continued, trampling through the bony things, some galloping while flaming after passing through Kira's flaming wards, arrows and javelins arching through the air, and scythes and scimitars brandished.
Some arrows were shot at Spirry's direction, but being blind, Mechanical did not make much of a reaction. A dozen or so arrows thudded against him, some bouncing off the mechanical parts. The arrows that poked through his wings made his flight less effective, and he felt his hovering weaken. The centaur who galloped underneath him felt blood trickle down their heads and necks but this did nothing.
With little to do, and gradually unable to fly from the rips in his wings, Mechanical dove into the herd, spreading his wings and limbs on the last moment, receiving perhaps many arrows and javelins during his descend, blades glancing off his mechanical framework. The impact was probably heavy, but being a broiling, red-hot metal-demon gushing blood, any centaur who trampled or ran into him would feel quite a hot surprise!
Probably feeling hooves and bodies smashing into him immediately, Mechanical erupted into a blazing state, body engulfing in flame while gushing out boiling blood, and he steamed thoroughly. Anything going close to him, even if he was trampled into the ground, would probably feel the fire, the steam, and the sizzling blood spattering everywhere. It'd probably be quite uncomfortable.
While on the ground, Mechanical would extend his arms and legs outwards, so that as the centaurs galloped passed him, he would try to align his clawed hands and feet so that the centaurs (nearby him) would across them, and so hamstring or hock themselves. If centaurs trampled upon Mechanical, his red-hot machinery in his torso especially would probably be enough to burn away that intent.
