[ Shinji takes a step right out of the line of fire from that lashing, but his gaze does snap to the tree the moment the tail slams straight into it- thus it snaps right onto Khun, who hops to the ground seconds before.

He can see the faint movement of...the cast, probably? But then he just stands there, and it takes him a moment of straightening up with widened eyes before he actually remembers.

...Still, what if that isn't it? He would like to have some faith that he knows what he's doing, but he's also not interested in watching the guy get bitten into like a chew toy.

Compromising on both, Shinji opts to instead wind up, muscles tensing....

and with a grunt, throw his axe directly at the manticore. Yeah, one-handed and everything. There seems to be a lot of power behind it, the way it flies through the air, before promptly lodging itself directly in the monster's hide.

Sure, it starts to thrash in pain even more, but it's definitely starting to slow down now! ]

[ if he could shout from where he's actually hidden, perched on the branches of a neighboring tree, he'd congratulate shinji on a nice hit. but it's important for him to remain camouflaged for the next bit—

a thrashing manticore not a stationary target, but it is a predictable one even if he's going to get banged up somewhat for what he has in mind. it's fine though, because despite how he holds himself he's not the type to shrink from injuries or danger. so down he goes, a glint of his blade in the air aimed for it's head. this knife, another "gift" from his father can slice through bone, and it does so with a spray of blood.

it'll be dead or close to it soon, but there's still the matter of it's tail so here's to lacerations and bruises and ruining these clothes. ]
