Dodging the strike was a feat easy enough for Uriel who was now able to keep his Dash skill active for as long as he wanted thanks to the flux energy he was stealing from the huge creature. The ones that followed, not so much.
From the heights above the cryptid noticed Uriel's presence despite him concealing his flux energy to the best of his ability due to the pain it caused him. Granted, Uriel looked like nothing but an ant to the cryptid, but even ant stings can cause a great deal of pain.
Unfortunately for Uriel, he was unable to find any semblance of a head he could target to defeat the cryptid and although he remained unscathed, the same could be said about his enemy. It could be said they reached a stalemate, but now that the cryptid located the source of the pain it suffered Uriel was actually at a disadvantage.
