[ It at least will be easy to meet the creature head on, because if there was any intelligence its tactics before, it seems to be gone now. It doesn’t so much as sway from its charge, and it crashes into Liem with force, almost like it was tackling him. It’s at least smaller now, so it isn’t so grievous a blow, but it still might knock the wind out of him from its sheer strength.
But beyond its force, the roots immediately reach out to grapple. Like many tiny hands, roots reach out when they crash into Liem. Like when it was on Hayame’s back, they hold and stab in equal, frenzied measure, but the general trend is like it’s trying to drag Liem inside the mass of roots. But from here, he can see the Shard in the shattered skull well. It’s gleaming brightly compared to everything else, and indeed seems to be the source of most of the light that brightens the cavity.
It's out of his arm’s reach as is… But it might not be if he’s pulled closer. ]
