Taggerung seemed content to not react, despite being able to hear the approach of Celeste. The sword slammed into his skull, ripping the skin slightly open on his head, revealing a gunmetal colored skull. The blade deflected off to the side of his head, leaving no mark, and no sign of damage. The only thing the slash did was send a considerable amount of sparks across the back of Taggerung, and front of Celeste. Taggerung stopped momentarily, turning back towards Celeste, with his good eye. While no emotion was conveyed on his face, it could be taken as a look of extreme annoyance. Taggerung picked up his speed slightly, to a slow jog, turning back around. The beast seemed intent on continuing the fight, but it was as if a master was calling to his dog, and the reluctance of his retreat was shown in his slow speed out of the situation.
