Sylvando heard the shout at the same time he struck the final blow to the feline monster, followed almost immediately by the sound of someone getting knocked to the ground. With the corrupted cat monster in a heap on the ground, he whirled around, taking in the scene before him at once.
Rather than call out and give up the advantage of surprise, Sylvando took advantage of the fact that the creature was entirely occupied with the angel to leap into the fray again immediately. And literally. He leaped into the air and used the force of his descent to help bring down his sword executioner style, slicing the snake almost into two halves a short distance beyond Aziraphale's feet, killing it in one blow. The angel might want to push the head portion away and move clear if he didn't want to get some rather goopy snake guts on his clothes from the mortally wounded creature's twitching.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was how you do a critical hit with style.
