[The fight is joined first by a horrific cracking sound when Momo actually casts the spell he's been holding, and then when he finally drops the illusion, it's about a foot away from the head of one of the thralls about to fall in to defend its masters. That cracking is unveiled in that moment as the sound of a lot of moisture freezing all at once, because what punches through the thrall's head and mostly destroys it in a single shot is not just Momo's fist, but a long and cruel ice spike. He has one on either arm, engulfing just a bit up past his wrists so he doesn't give himself the magical weapons equivalent of a boxing fracture, and basically makes his arms two very unpleasant stabbing weapons with a lot of brute force behind them.
Landing from his leap in, he uses the recoil to launch himself into another of the larger thralls that might pose a threat to Edelgard's work, again going for the head for the cleanest and easiest kill. The man's warning has several of the thralls closing in, a few dead Witches trailing behind a handful of different Monsters that are the larger concern, but Momo's combination of agility, brute force and willingness to go straight for the weak point is a good one of this kind of fight. Dead, corpse-puppeted Monsters just don't hold up quite the same way as live (or properly undead) ones, and since he can cast basic impact barriers without a proper focus these days, he throws one up between the incoming thralls and Edelgard just in case any of them get any ideas before coming at them like a ton of flying bricks.]
