The Chocobo Eater was confused and annoyed, but ultimately Johnny and the chocobo held its attention. Clarus took the opportunity to continue to slash at the monster's back.

Johnny was targeted next by a physical attack from the beast as it charged forward and tried to knock Reno off in the process. Whatever damage was done wouldn't be too lasting as the chocobo cast a choco-cure on anyone in range, being Johnny and Reno.

"You alright there, Reno?" Clarus called out, striding in to keep close to the monster and the party.
