As soon as Sullivan's feet had hit the ground, the Leader's body kicked into overdrive, shooting off at a tangent to the drakon's slithering motions, not allowing him to rest in sight of the carnage that was about to take place.

As it brought its maw down on the fourth student, an obsidian blur blew past it.
