The jutsu seemed to be a miss when the nearest clone just kind of burst into smoke, causing the beam to go right through it. Though, the beam struck the ground below and pierced through only to be followed by a slight explosion and eruption of lava from the impact point. Now, there was a big crater full of the stuff hidden within the smoke cloud. The manticore wasn't defenseless as more clones rapidly tried to approach him. It responded by swinging its tail towards them, firing off a barrage of piercing spines that would cause them to burst a little earlier than they might have intended.
Teostra did indeed inhale some of the vapor, but its effect would likely not be as Ray intended. In his past, he had access to an extremely powerful poison ability that he later created a way to extract in order to no longer bear its burden. Because of this, he was immediately able to detect that something was occurring based on the effects he would be feeling. His response to this was subconscious, much like one's immune system. His body temperature rapidly began to increase up until it reached the point where the poisonous vapor was denatured and rendered inert. By this time, he would have broken free from the border of smoke on the back of the manticore a short distance from Ray's location.
At the same time, the Jell's arms were blasted away from the explosive punch. But, this was rather ineffective considering the jelly-like consistency that made up its body. It just recoiled the remainder of the tendrils after finding out what it needed to know. It synced its movements up with Teo's as Teo did a strange string of handsigns utilizing the claws, each arm doing a different one. The left finished before the right as he called out, "Amu Ra Zoruku!" His claws became covered in a faint purple aura before it vanished from sight. As the Jell lashed out again with newly formed arms, the purple aura appeared on them just before they would be meant to wrap around Ray. Teo then held the sign with his right claw, in preparation as he kept his eyes on his opponent and watched his next move.
