"Hah...hah– this thing… is a freak!"
Seraphina flashed in front of him just in time to block another incoming swipe.
BANG!
Golden light burst as the monster's claws collided with her sword. She slid back several meters, her feet digging trenches into the soil.
Even Seraphina couldn't defend without being pushed.
"Amon, Eliana! don't get hit!" she warned sharply. Sweat trickled down her forehead. "That monster's strength is above a normal rank three!"
The Goremaw's mismatched eyes glared at all three of them, saliva dripping from its crooked mouth, burning holes into the grass.
GROOOOOWL…
It scraped its claws against the ground and crouched.
Amon's heart clenched.
'Oh no… it's going to–'
"MOVE!" Seraphina screamed.
The Goremaw charged, its bent legs kicking off the ground so hard the earth ruptured.
It barreled toward them like a living avalanche.
Amon dove to the left.
Eliana jumped and rolled right.
Seraphina dashed backward with a burst of light.
BOOOOM!!
