The animal, in one final attempt to take revenge, concentrated its Qi in its tail, leaving the armor weak and vulnerable.
If Gabriel attacked again, it'd be a mutual kill, a deal he wasn't willing to take. He wanted to step back and deflect the tail away.
One of the two women Daniel was fencing off took a step back while the other used her club to block Daniel's attacks on her own. The woman at the back took out a knife from her sleeve, imbued it with her Qi, and threw it at Gabriel.
"Gabriel, be careful!"
Daniel shouted as he saw her actions and could only watch helplessly. Gabriel could sense the knife coming at high speed, blocking his escape route. If he chose to block the knife, he would have to take the desperate tail attack straight on, spelling his doom.
"Fuck it!"
