Temporarily blinded by the gunfire, the Behemoth stopped its steady march, allowing enough time for Duster to cover the distance between them. He took one long step with his right leg and, keeping his weight steady, spun around to deliver a powerful kick with his left foot. He struck the Behemoth on its lower front leg.

The beast hardly reacted to the attack, though it took a step backwards as it recoiled in pain. Once it realized there was only one person to fight, it swiped a large paw at Duster.

He jumped back, and the sharp claws scraped his left arm. Duster tumbled to the ground clutching his injured arm.
