*snap…! *rustle…! *thud!
Boots thudded across the forest floor, snapping twigs and rustling leaves as the two charged towards the beast, weapons drawn.
The creature licked its bleeding wound, before swiftly leaping backwards with a sudden push from its powerful tail—gaining extra distance.
It wanted to retreat for a brief moment.
*THUD!
It landed resoundingly beside the lifeless body of the Jerkkaen, its claws digging into the ground as it began to steady itself.
"Watch out, Jinn," Kain warned, his eyes narrowing on the creature.
"It uses mostly its tail to attack, but we should watch out for its powerful swipes."
"Roger," Jinn replied calmly, his eyes never taking off from the beast as he tightened his stance.
At that moment, and in one swift motion—the beast drove its tail into the chest of the fallen Jerkkaen, snapping it and piercing it clean through.
*Crack!
It then slides the body in front of it, a trail of black blood on its wake.
