“Damn it! Run or fight,” the guard whimpered, tears at his cheeks. Jin looked down at the man and took the armsman’s Spear. He emerged into the clearing, staring at the back side of the beast.
“I told you as the captain of this unit I can’t worry about you. This menacing brute has brought death on us all,” the captain called out trying to remain calm and still his own resolve.
“You aren’t as blind as the rest of your men, So I’ll save you this once.”
Jin flourished his Spear in his left hand. The Chimera’s eyes caught the gleam of the blade and the winged beasts spun to face the fresh threat. Swinging its wings backward a powerful gale flung it forward.
The goat head grabbed the Spear in its jaws. The weapon didn’t budge within the creature’s mouth. Sharp pains shot through Jin’s ribs as the lion's head dug in. Teeth penetrated the gaps in his armor. The venomous fangs of the snake bit into his shoulder, leaving a trail of purple saliva running down his shoulder.
