The impact had clearly left them both dazed prior to Usagi’s attack. He didn’t show it but he’d lost a tooth from the impact, a back molar he’d spit out as he continued to snap his jaws and find purchase on its throat, squeezing as blood gushed everywhere. He was practically soaked, the metallic taste filling his tongue and his maw. The cougar wailed, its cries slowly fading as it was beginning to lose what strength it had left, offering a less energetic swing on its neck in a last ditch effort to swing them off. Usagi grappled with the beast’s throat, though the throbbing in his maw and the impact of his fall prior to this attack left him winded. As the beast reared, no longer having the energy itself to fight off two full-grown wolves, it would lose its offensive stance entirely, stumbling limply away in the opposite direction. At this point, the she-wolf could decide if it was worth it to get in a last attack or get off to help tend to her own wounds. The cougar’s rearing forced Usagi to break loose, lest the beast’s landing shatter his jaw entirely. He collapsed to the earth with a pained grunt of his own, managing to get onto his feet and get out of the animal’s way as it realized it was no match for the canines. Perhaps a small victory, but Usagi concerned himself with his throbbing jaw, as well as the she-wolf who’d jumped in at the expense of her clawed shoulder. No doubt it’d need medical attention, but he had no experience with it. It appeared they’d won, at least. Not much use in killing a beast that no longer wished to attacked them, and the koi wolf hoped it would be smart enough not to try anything else. |
