With the strength of the bite, and its thrashing, it probably could have crushed her shoulder, or dislocated it - but the blow is very timely, and the creature has to release Maria from its grip to scream in pain and rage, and it gives her enough time to back off, long legs taking her quite far backward in just a few steps, before she gets her swords back in order.]

[She rolls her shoulder a little bit to test mobility - it's sore, definitely, but she'll be able to end this fight.
Even with the screaming horse creature. Even with the memories it dredges up, fishing from the depths of her mind. Of the Hell she was in before she came here.
It charges again, but this time, Maria's ready to meet it. It's not the giant horse Beast that her old friend had become. It's just a monster - and not even one with a capital M.

I'm sorry, Ludwig.]
