Kapitel 59: Lord of the Dark Skies (2)

The monstrous bird moved with a terrifying grace, faster than something of its size had any right to. One moment it was looming above him, and in the next, it was upon him, its massive talons crashing down like a hammer. 

Levi barely dodged, rolling to the side as the ground exploded where he had been standing. He lunged forward, driving his claws toward the creature's side, aiming for a weak spot between the layers of armored feathers. But his strike bounced off with a metallic clang, barely scratching its hide.

The Black Wing whirled on him, its beak snapping forward like a spear. Levi ducked just in time, but the beast was relentless, pressing him with attack after attack, each strike coming closer to ending him. 

"Shit," Levi cursed under his breath, his mind racing. His attacks weren't strong enough. 

He was outclassed, and he knew it. 

But he couldn't stop. 

He wouldn't stop.
