It's Ragnarok's turn to collide with a tree. The beast dropped the ground bonelessly, and for a solid two seconds... it did not move. Two seconds was a mere sliver of time, but before this, the monster hadn't given any pause in the slightest; no hesitation, no exhaustion, no agony of wounds.

But the spell is soon broken, and Ragnarok pushed itself back to a four-legged stance, glowering at the newcomer.

Then it's off again in a burst of speed, dashing towards Pen and Shiva, finishing the charge with a flip and downward strike of its tail.
