章 403: Moonlight hunting Part 3

Uriel closed his eyes and braced for impact as the creature's steps drew closer while he lied on the shallow waters completely defenseless. The pain that coursed through his body let him know that he was fine and the reason he couldn't move was most likely because he couldn't breathe. Thanks to his extensive experience in getting beaten up he knew that it was when he couldn't feel any pain after an attack that he should worry, but now it made no difference since he couldn't even lift his arms to protect his vitals.

Or so he thought, because from out of the bushes, Luna came bashing at the creature in the complete dark, causing a commotion that shook the earth and caused waves on the shallow water Uriel was lying on.
