>You circle around it, firing off some exploding bullets. Moving leftward, you are going to run afoul of the rest of its body very shortly. The behemoth backs its head and neck away from the exploding shots for now.

>You move upward, prepare your sword, and stab! It sinks into the behemoth's wing with a sensation of cords being cut.
>A fraction of a second later, the behemoth's momentum undeterred by your comparatively meager counterattack, the wing slams into you. Your sword hilt is driven into your chest, knocking the wind out of you and sending renewed agony through your body, as the rest of its wing slams into your face and torso like a ton of bricks.
