[The knights follow orders with expected expediency, and soon another barrage of arrows rains down. Again, some plant themselves into the hide of the creature, but in the end, they are more distraction than the actual threat.
It buys him enough time for Dimitri to rise to his feet, and more so for Arthur's magic (yes, he has seen it before, or some form of it, he must have) to envelop him in a bubble-like shield. It's a blessing because in the next moment, the giant claws rake against the invisible protection in retaliation.
It isn't enough to jar him, though he will make a quiet note to offer his gratitude later. For now, dashing forward like a loaded spring, Dimitri rushes forward and spears that glowing weak point with Areadbhar, his Crest alighting above his head as if a punctuation mark to the attack.
It's a critical hit a fatal blow and the demonic monster, in its pain, stumbles and falls over on its side, the wound eking dark ichor and weeping coiled smoke. Dimitri works to free his Relic from its belly, and in a few moments more, it is gone.
He turns to look at his knights and the stranger as the body begins to dissolve behind him.]

Is everyone uninjured?
