End of Round 4
The Dragon, for the next several seconds at least, was largely only a threat to Kishka. The newer layer of armor that regrew on the beast was destroyed just as quickly as the first, but that barely even elicited a response from the Grimm due to the fact that the stronger layer with the appearance of bone was still fully and completely intact. The layer that nobody had even come close to breaking through was doing its job in stalling for some much needed time for the monster to regenerate back to full strength.
The shorn off membranes that comprised the wings of the dragon were starting to regrow, the black substance that spawned the Grimm was beginning to coat the formerly exposed wing bones and become fully functional appendages capable of carrying the weight of the beast into the air once more. Since it wasn’t solidified yet, attacks that hit that area just destroyed some of the tar that was quickly replaced with more.
There was an absolutely vile noise coming from the Dragon as it engaged Kishka, and its muscles spasmed like it was dry heaving. The tar-like substance was coming out in spurts, but it seemed like a particularly huge amount of it was going to be puked up from its belly in the very near future. It would be the next significant wave of Grimm at the very least, and possibly much more than that.
The more immediate threats were not dealing with the Dragon at all, but the small fry who were threatening the interior of the village and the villagers who were fresh out of nerve, rushing out from fortified positions and making it next to impossible to maneuver. Sometimes, in their panic, they would make it next to impossible to fight the Grimm as some runners would just aimlessly run around and put themselves in between the soldier and the Grimm they were trying to kill.
On one end of town, a runaway man got in between a Kozak and a beowolf and got shot in the head for his troubles. On the other end of town, a Hellebore mercenary suffered severe injuries trying to yank one idiot back from an Ursa Major that was about to turn him into paste. The delays, especially from those who tried to wrangle the idiots instead of ignoring them, caused some minor Grimm to slip even further inside the village. Something needed to be done about both, and quickly.
