Even the toughest monsters should've collapsed after taking a direct hit from Lightning Strike.
But this one…
Not only survived—it looked annoyed.
"GRRRRAAAAAAH!!"
Oh, great.
Now it's angry.
The bear let out a roar so loud the stone walls vibrated, but what came next made my mind go completely blank.
"That hurt! Human! You hurt Lota!"
…It talked.
It actually talked.
Human words came spilling out of that giant maw full of steel-looking teeth, and for a moment I honestly wondered if the electricity had fried my brain instead.
Before I could process anything, the metal bear charged at me with a furious expression—much faster than before.
"Human! I won't let you get away with this!"
"W–wait—!"
I tried to dodge like earlier, but its speed had nearly doubled. Maybe tripled.
There was no avoiding it.
"Ah, crap—!"
The next moment, its massive front paws slammed into me, lifting me clean off the ground like I weighed nothing.
