> Keep pushing until the wing goes by.

>You keep pushing, trying to keep a sense of equilibrium, and can feel its wing pass just over you, pulling you along a bit harder. You can also see lights out of the corner of your eye and toward the ground. Danmaku, you're certain.

>You keep steady, and note that the Behemoth is coming around above you, and seems to be making a U-turn.

>Glancing downward, you have a clear view of Futo. You think you can glimpse Tojiko, though the Behemoth blocks your view. Who knows where Seiga is?

>You moved a bit away. You suppose you could strike it, it may have slowed enough to keep from tearing you off course from the force of its passing.

> Take a whack with our sword, then!

>You swing! It's not your best strike by far, and its a little difficult to even keep from losing the weapon entirely. You feel the blade clatter against its plate-like scales, failing to find purchase at first, before it slips between them. You feel something resistance, not flesh, but rather like cutting a series of strings or bamboo stalks, before you complete your strike and the behemoth's tail.
