The horse-face kept charging at Luke, always in a straight line, but Luke focused on evasive maneuvers. He wanted to save his energy, for when the monster shows an opening, but just dodging was the best he could do without Rina and Shalia's support. Eventually, Luke found one chance. The horse-face tried to split in half with an even bigger side slash, but instead of running away, Luke jumped and tried to stab the horse-face right eye when he confirmed that he dodged the strike. However, the enemy also reacted on time and began to move its head, but Luke used Sonic Blade, and the enemy got hit… only on the cheek. At the last moment, he suddenly increased his speed.
"That was a good one," the horse-face said while he touched the small cut on his face. "Was it with this that you defeated my friend? For a human, you are not half bad, but you don't have the power to have defeated him. Not even with the help of those worms."
