Well nobody is saying that an Oroshi Kirin can withstand a Gravios heatbeam, thats just crazy. But as Blazing Black stated the elder dragon is agile enough to evade the attacks of the monsters in question. Also I don't think the Kirin would go around starting fights and if things start to look bad it can always simply retreat since its much faster than the monsters in question.
