In the half second before the mouth reached her, Akira drove her hand into her spatial ring and pulled out [Temptation]. And in that same instant she called her armor.
The dark plates appeared across her body in a single wave, with the cuirass, the gorget, and the greaves, all of it snapping into place as the Chilopoda's mouth came down.
The teeth hit the armor and a loud creak filled the air as it scratched against it.
She felt the force of the bite travel through the metal and into her body, feeling like a crushing pressure across her chest and back, but the armor didn't give in.
She twisted inside the grip, angling her sword arm forward, and drove [Temptation] upwards through the roof of the beast's mouth.
The sword punched through cartilage and bone, going straight into the brain cavity above it, the tip emerging from the top of the skull with a spray of blood.

"Fucking beast," she growled as she stored the corpse.
