The only silver lining was that not all of them were as strong as the beast that Harry inspected.
Jessie had already killed one in a single hit.
Seeing one of their members die, all the beasts took flight. It was a short burst of flight, and their speed was greatly enhanced by their initial momentum.
Harry used his sword to clash with one of the beasts, but his sword only left a scratch to its tough shell.
Harry changed his style. Being agile and using Serpent Stride, he dodged the second beast that attacked from behind the first beast's body.
As Harry dodged their first attack, their agility reduced greatly, and neither did they try to flee.
Harry was about to attack its shell when a fountain of blood scattered in the air.
Jessie had killed another one. Harry, taking advantage of the distraction, turned into shadows, appearing close to the raptor's maw and thrusting his sword inside.
