Aldrich slightly nodded, making El Cid disappear in the next moment. The vulture, not staying longer than it needed to, shoved Meuric's towering figure off its back.

Up in the sky, Aldrich saw Shu coming towards him, less flying and more like a bullet. Aldrich could sense the beast's fury, but it didn't mean Shu could act on it. Shu's six eyes saw Meuric tumbling down on the ground, and the over dozen ft long flying beast taking itself to air.

Aldrich's eyebrows slightly raised as he saw the two snake tails letting out mad hisses at the vulture.

A beast never had a hold over its fury, much less needed to be said about an abomination.
