The beast let out a roar and it attacked Sakura and the other delegates. It did not seem to discriminate between any human beings and went after everyone equally at first.
But there was a certain point in time when the beast changed its targets and started to target Sakura more than anyone else it raised its sharp scythe-like claws and slashed away at Sakura.
If not for Sakura's early day training with her mother to avoid the fight, Sakura would be dead by now. But even then, all Sakura did was be able to avoid a deadly blow.
The scythe-like claws still cut through Sakura's face and gave her an ugly scar.
"Lady Tsurugi, are you alright? Do you need us to help you out? If you command us, then we can do anything."
The delegates no longer said this to flatter Sakura. But they seemed honest in earnest and they looked fearful of the beast. Many of the delegates were hurdling over each other to avoid looking at the insect-type beast.
