Breaks Manda's grip

Finally, Godzilla managed to hook one of his huge, tearing claws around Manda’s own neck.  Godzilla’s massive hand dug into the woolly haor around the Dragon’s head.
Godzilla began to squeeze.  Manda stubbornly clung to Godzilla’s throat and wouldn’t budge.  But Godzila reached up with his other claw and grabbed one of Manda’s stubby legs.
Now, with both of Godzilla’s mighty forearms dragging at Manda’s coiled body, the dragon began to weaken.  Suddenly, Manda’s grip was broken.  The creature tried to slip into the sea and escape, but Godzilla would not let it go.
