The Knight didn't hesitate. It rushed forward and swung again at the cracked shoulder.
The chimera tried to turn and guard the spot, but Asher stepped in and blocked its movement. He grabbed its wrist and forced its arm down so the Knight's attack could land.
The Knight's sword struck the weak point again. The crack widened, glowing brighter with leaking energy.
The chimera roared, finally losing its calm. It slammed its free arm into Asher's side, knocking him away. Asher hit the ground but rolled back to his feet.
The creature spun toward the Knight. It swung its tail like a hammer. The Knight blocked with its sword, but the impact still threw it off balance.
The chimera charged the Knight, claws raised.
Asher intercepted it. He ran straight into the chimera's side and tackled it hard enough to knock the creature sideways. Both of them slid across the floor in a burst of dust and sparks.
