There is- a moment where Dan Heng thinks, despite everything, it would be okay. His weapon strikes true, and the cloudhymn shoves the monster off balance. Jing Yuan is still fighting, and that means he's alright, he's okay-
But then he looks back. Orders him to leave. No. No.
Jing Yuan's been left behind too much already. "I will not! You were guarding the rear, and that means being behind me, not-"
SNAP. Crunch. Dan Heng cries out as if he'd been punched in the gut, watching in horror as the General gets shaken around like a chew toy. Lan preserve, all that blood-
"RELEASE HIM this instant!!" he snarls with all the fury of a dragon scorned. He re summons Cloud Piercer and surrounds himself with Cloudhymn energy, launching himself to land on the monster's back, sharp teeth bared as if ready to bite down himself. Thankfully he doesn't, instead locating the main knot of vines and plant matter in the creature's neck, his slitted pupils widening with a target.
Then with an enraged shout, he plunges the spear down with all his strength, channeling water from the blade to cut outward, working to sever the beast's head from its body.
If it works, Dan Heng will throw a dragon down to curl near the floor, to slow Jing Yuan's fall, weighed down as he'd be by the beast's still locked jaws.
