That flinch and the sting was enough for him to change his target instinctively. With a swift jump, he flew past Echidna, swinging his fist at Ann. "Are you even human?" He couldn't believe that a little human girl managed to snipe his eyes and with a shitty-looking rifle no less.
At that moment, Mesharra jumped in, punching the dragon's wrist with all her might. She pushed the punch away from Ann, but that had cost her her knuckles. Punching the dragon barehanded felt like punching solid steel…no, solid Brass…this bastard is an ancient brass dragon.
