Cleaning Up

*Clank!*

The bird somehow managed to twist its head and use that beak to barely block this attack. However, with such an uncomfortable position, Clovis managed to push it a bit further and slice its neck a bit. 

It wasn't fatal, but a lot of blood was gushing out of the wound. 

The bird tried to hit Clovis with its head, but the latter skillfully took a step back while waving his blades a few times, both to the front and behind him. 

*Roar!* 

The beasts were angry because their sneak attacks failed. 

Still, Clovis had the upper hand. With the beak holding the sword back, Clovis kicked the head from below. 

"!!!" The bird shuddered as it lost its consciousness for just a split second. The blood seemed to spurt a bit more because of that kick.

The bird hurriedly retracted its head as the beasts began to swarm the area. It was apparent that the bird wanted to escape before the wounds became fatal.
