>Though the pain, you try to back away, but you seem to be wrapped around its wing, so to speak, awhile it travels forward. Backing away isn't so simple.

>You try to slice your weapon upward, but your meager grip and poor positioning, setting aside the pain, makes it impossible to do so.

>You fire off some knives, as the behemoth drags you along with it. It's a bit hard to focus on danmaku with your sword hilt being driven into your chest, but you manage something, and feel its wing moving upward in response.

>You keep moving forward, firing into the darker parts of its visible wounds when you have the opportunity. The darkness seems to spread a little into the brighter parts as you do.
>The behemoth, from what you can see of its body motions ahead of you, is twisting to chase after you. Seiga is ahead, sending zig-zagging shots into the behemoth's back. Its wing loom ahead and you note your sword hilt, somewhat surrounded by a purple glow, still stuck into it.
