Listen & Read

Taiki’s move was good, but the beast was beast. Feral instincts and all intact. From what they saw on the sea and what they will begin to see on land. To survive here your skills had to be honed to a fine point. The beast could smell the difference instantly between the clone who had none and the real Taiki. So, its eyes were peeled on him the entirety of the time. The beast even shifted its direction towards Taiki to essentially let him know that he knew. Before either of his attacks could begin and whilst he was still body flickering the beast bore its claws down into the earth and picked up a massive chunk of it. Molding it onto its rigid hands. IT then smashed it directly into the ground. Causing a kick up of wind and the entire area, even Kideme’s end to be covered in a rain of dirt and dust. The beast would use this cover to lunge at Taiki full body. Which due to its width, if Taiki didn’t see it coming or already pre-emptively dodge. He’d get thrown back towards the tree-lines with relative ease. Not enough to kill but the damage would rattle his bones. The rock armor would chip in many places on impact.

Kideme played it smart, using a debilitating scale powder to blind the beasts. Though due to Taiki’s beast have its back turned towards his direction would render it useless on one. But the current beast facing her? It blinded it. Causing it to become enraged, thus using more of its muscle mass to move and attack. It was able to break the 5 second gap to 3 and it charged like a bat out of hell at her. Though she didn’t need much time, the odachi came flying, and the beast couldn’t see it. It went through the soft tissue like butter and continued to pierce. Until it was most of the way through its neck area. The burning heat caused the beat to shriek and claw at its neck in pain. Obviously, a beast with such claws that wasn’t a smart idea. It immediately tore a hole in its own neck as the flesh inside was burning like a meat furnace. This linked to another clue weakness if she was smart enough to pick up on it.

Kideme was now free to aid Taiki in taking down the last beast. As for her Odachi, the bottom half of the stave would snap under the beast’s weight. Leaving the blade still intact if she was willing to climb into semi-burning monster guts for it.

Even though Taiki wouldn’t have been able to initially attack the shadow clone would. The shuriken hit the shot spot that was already exposed and sent lightning into the wound. It caused the beast to stumble and turn its attention to the wire. It immediately grabbed it and sent the clone flying high into the air. If it was still holding on at this rate.

The odds were looking positive for the two heroes for once. How would they capitalize though is the question.
