>>5257229As they wrestle each other to the ground, rolling and crushing whoever came to pass, it appears that Barnham has the upper hand initially, but after some time Zodd appears to readjust his level of strength from the last time they fought, with the bear getting more and more blows and reacting with increasingly sluggish movements. He screams as if he were in horrible pain, and while he did claw a few holes in Zodd's limbs, he manages to regenerate faster without so much as placing a single drop of blood on his tongue.
"We are not afraid of you, Griffith! Consider this a declaration of war against our union!" You stop spectating the fight to turn your head back to Griffith. "The people will know of further options than you, the Kushan or us, your servants will only be temporary once they realise you're just as much a war criminal as the ones you're fighting against."
Griffith does not respond, remaining focused on hearing Barnham's screams as his attempts to get up are impeded by a horn being impaled on his side.
Usually, Barnham would simply ignore the pain and punch Zodd square in his snout, the agony in his voice makes it clear that his trademark ability has been toggled off, with Griffith's silent lip-flapping indicating him to be the culprit.
Zodd attempts to throw Barnham off his horn, but even as he is impaled, he lets the horn go further inside him so he can lock his legs onto Zodd's neck, crushing his windpipe and making him unable to breathe as his head desperately twists in all directions.
As the two beasts fight to the death, the people's eyes of terror do not escape your gaze, and neither does the sound of Barnham's left arm twisting further into the opposite direction of his ligaments, at this rate, if he doesn't apply more strength into suffocating Zodd, his body will limply fall right onto...
The direction where he would likely fly off would be right onto Bernard and Michelle's settlement, where Zhafira was lodged inside.
