Benimaru floated near her and the two of them waited. The hours dragged on and her impatience in the matter didn’t matter to her. Didn’t matter how long she’d have to wait. It wasn’t until the rumbling of the ground underneath her where Lucretia found herself being upheaved by the beast underneath. Her eyes widened a little bit and she’d hop back a few yards. Staring up as a mammoth of a beast rose out of the ground. Was all of the prior beasts an attempt at making this beast?
She stared up and then to Benimaru who shared a glance with her. They both were a little surprised at seeing this and she could tell that the sword wasn’t sure what to do. She’d point up at it.
”We’re going to climb to the top. Get to the head and knock it out.”
The blade dipped in understanding and the both of them took off; lucretia’s feet scrambled for purchase and she’d have to dig her claws into the side of the beast to climb up. It barely registered her. It was so large that it’s torso hadn’t quite come out of the ground yet but Lucretia didn’t want it to. They needed to make this thing smaller before that was the case. Gritting her teeth as she climbed she noted that Benimaru was having an easy time just floating along.
Oh. Right.
She’d huff a bit and then start to climb a little bit more rapidly. They were running out of time as the monstrous serpent like beast pulled it’s arms out of the ground. Slowly reaching up to grab at the offenders. Lucretia kicked up away from the hand that slapped down against where she had been. The beast groaned a bit as it felt the bite of her claws, the bite of her sword as she used it to climb a bit faster.
Getting this thing out of the city was paramount. This beast was huge and it just swinging one arm took out a row of houses with ease. She’d stop and watch the empty dwellings slam into a row of another. She’d frown and then hurry along; grasping at benimaru whenever they worked over to her. Helping her along. They had an easier time and it was clear to her that the blade wasn’t sure what to think about their situation…
