[@LeeRoy] [i]As much as Facere tried to muscle and skin his way out of the Magna Pater's garrote, it'd not budge over his jawline and skull curvature. It'd have been easier for an average joe to try and escape the rear naked choke of a Gracie, or a condemned criminal from a hangman's noose. As for his own grip on the monster, it seemed not to have an immediate effect. This was a beast that could survive for hours fully decapitated, and even if it were, its muscles would only continue to tighten, a serpent's vitality. That left smashing it as a primary option. It wasn't behind Facere, it was to his left with its body on the ground, neck gripped in his hand. It had only moved that far to the side to avoid the pillar he'd chucked at it, and hadn't needed to outright scale Facere to reach his neck. To slam it he'd need to use his arm, and he did have the monster securely in his grasp. Surely chokeslamming it into the marble cave would hurt it significantly...[/i]
