The blow had only been strong enough to repel the monster for the time being, and while that was a dissatisfying result, Kratos's first priority had been to get the thing away from Tsurugi, and that certainly had been accomplished. While the monster recovered, he glanced back hastily toward Tsurugi, noting the gashes and resolving to take care of those at a more convenient time. Not much more than a second could be spared, though: out of the corner of his eye, he caught the monster lunging for him instead, having apparently decided that he was the better target.
He twisted to his right at the last possible moment as Tsurugi aimed his flashlight directly at Sora's face. The monster's claws ripped cleanly through the top of his shirt as he turned away, but Kratos paid the pain little mind as he tried his hand again at knocking Sora out, this time swinging his left hand down for a karate chop to the monster's neck, near where his ear would normally be.
