Sandrine threw herself to the side, dodging the creature by a hair width. The crawling monster slammed on the road, having missed its target. However, its move completely frightened Flocon, who couldn't maintain its shield.
The muddy slime stopped dripping from its horns, and the previously blocked enormous night monster could finally direct its enormous maw, opened vertically and splitting its face into two, towards the deer.
Thankfully, Paquerette reacted in time and kicked it square in the jaw, dislocating it and making dark blood flow all around.
Gribouille had also made his move, plunging his claws into the crawling monsters' neck, severing the spinal cord.
By the time Sandrine regained her footing and looked around, the direct threats had been neutralized. However, they were still surrounded.
"Time for combat training, everyone !"
