Bab 410: A Slain God?

Instead of hair, the Mernar had a giant fin covering its head. It seemed to have a basic level of awareness as it giggled at Arthur before attacking again.

The dagger and sword collided, and the two contenders were pushed several meters back. Then, as Arthur glared at it, the fast Mernar disappeared.

Arthur teleported away as the sword struck the ground to create a deep gash on it. As he appeared on the cliff a distance away, Arthur thought he obtained a moment of rest, but the creature was in front of him in an instant.
