Wait, Keiko thought, narrowing her eyes as she looked ahead. No. One of its wounds is still there.
She hadn't noticed it before due to the surprise of most of the creature's injuries fading before her very eyes. However, as she took a closer look, she found that the first hit Yumi had landed, where the lightning bolt had struck its shoulder, was still fresh.
So, what happened with the others? Keiko wondered as Yumi held her naginata out, preparing to engage the creature again.
"That took a lot out of me," Yumi admitted quietly, "but I can still fight."
"Be careful," Keiko said. "It healed, somehow. It might do that again."
''I understand," Yumi nodded. "I can't just sit here, though."
