This thing....it was like it didn't have muscles or tendons underneath that armor. That wasn't natural, but these beasts were hardly anything he'd dealt with before. Even in that world, he stuck to dealing with the Leshen, and then he was gone. The Brachydios responded to his slash with a series of rampaging fists pounding into the earth as it charged towards him. A slow, predictable move like that was almost insulting. Timing his movement so that the monster didn't have enough time to adjust its trajectory at its speed, he dove through the air, immediately rolling as his body touched the ground. He was surprised to find that he was closer to being hit than he'd originally expected, but he managed to escape the attack unscatched, thankfully. It was unlikely he'd have been able to dodge had that been an outright punch, though. Geralt, standing, nodded to himself as Euden called out his plan: keep the beast distracted so he could transform. Getting that dragon on their side, if even just for a moment, would turn the tides of their fight. He hadn't been paying attention to the other fight, but he [i]did[/i] notice when that other, dangerous man from Lumbridge appeared, launched himself into the air off of his Chocobo, summoned some kind of strange huge lobster-crab hybrid abomination to jump off of, and then summoned an [i]iron golem[/i] from thin air, as a [i][b]stepping stone[/b][/i] before unleashing a torrent of fire from some kind of explosive crossbow into its face. [i]What.[/i] Shaking off the shock from what he just witnessed, Geralt took advantage of the opportunity that bought him. Quickly drawing the symbol for Quen, he smirked as the familiar protective field came into being around him. He then ran up towards the Brachydios again, making sure to quickly step back from its swinging tail before charging in to try to remove the appendage outright. [i]That[/i] would surely get its attention.
