Buji still lay on the ground, his body motionless. His mind clouded with thoughts of his failure. At the verge of success, he had failed.
The Lycan's claws gleams ominously under the dim lit of the dungeon, poised to deliver its final attack. Whether the attack will come as a fatal one or not, it was surely going to end Buji's life. Each second felt like an eternity at the thought. Buji tried to brace himself for the inevitable.
But, Buji was taken by surprise by the sound.
The sound faded in his ears as he slid his eyes open.
"What? How?"
As the Lycan's claws began it's decent, Buji had heard a sharp, piercing sound. But he wasn't sure what it was. He just wanted to close his eyes until everything was over.
But, "shiiinnng!"
The sound was unmistakable. The sound of the blade, slicing through the air.
His eyes fluttered open. Confusing, mingled with disbelief could be seen clearly in his eyes. The Lycan groaned in pain, and staggered away from where Buji lay.
