The guttural sounds the monster created sounded like it struggled to breathe as if it had something lodged inside the ape's throat. From the moment Julian stabbed the beast, he noticed the monster resembled Dreadpaw. A monster that he killed a few days ago in the game world.
"Tsk..."
He looked behind him, hoping to see Umbra, but she wasn't there. 'Damn it!' It seemed the feeling of their connection cutting wasn't just his imagination.
A white claw swept across Julian's face with a brutal force. He slid across the ground with a cloud of dust, creating some distance between himself and the monster.
"ROAR!"
'Without Umbra I will have to be careful...'
Clang!
Purple sparks flew each time the monster thrashed towards him. The power of its white claws caused his entire body to shiver down to the bone. While he attempted to deflect its attacks, a slow fatigue and ache started building, and his muscles burned as if on fire.
The creature didn't stop.
