[viktor is happy to do as he's told, pulling back and well away. he has only a second to marvel at this new trick before a roaring howl announces the beast, the creature emerging from the small space like a spill and snapping at hares in a confused frenzy.
for the first time viktor can truly get a good look at it, as it stands before them without rapid, skittering movement. the many arms, the way each joint looks more like broken bone than the natural bend of the body, the whirling, milky eyes in its head.
all those eyes fix on them, on megumi, and with another shrieking, confused howl it launches, carving into a nearby crumbling wall with its claws and launching chunks of debris his way about the size of a human head.
viktor raises an arm, a few sharp little stones whirling his way as well from the attack, leaving faint scratches on his jaw when he tilts out of the way. his heart pounds, the feeling of the claws tearing him open still too fresh, like his chest could simply spill again and splatter on the ground. ample ground to continue seeing a world of cursed energy he could not in the early loops.]
