Bahamut met the beast head-on, his frame small compared to the Eliminator.
His shoulder crashed into the descending limb with a bone-shattering impact. The force detonated outward, sending a shockwave rippling across the field. Trees bent, flowers disintegrated. Exildra was thrown backward, skidding across the ground as Ren dug claws in to keep from being flung away.
The Scorpio screeched... a sound like metal tearing underwater, as its claw was deflected. Bahamut twisted with the momentum, rolling beneath the beast's core as shadow venom hissed past his back, burning the air. He planted one hand into the earth, his muscles screaming, and launched himself upward, fist cocked back.
"Got you."
His punch landed square against the Scorpio's plated underside.
CRACK!
The sound echoed like thunder splitting stone. The Eliminator was hurled backward, its massive body skidding through the field, carving a deep furrow before slamming into a distant rise with earth-shaking force.
