The last spike should have killed Evan, but instead it pierced the purple raven that had suddenly appeared. The spike easily pierced through the bird's body, its trajectory was altered, allowing Evan to remain alive.
Evan didn't understand what had just happened or the significance of the raven's actions, but he didn't have time to think about it. The one-eyed raven had given him a chance he wasn't going to miss.
Whoosh.
Evan pulled the spike sharply from his leg and it quickly became covered in a thick layer of ice. The young man threw the spike back at the monster with all his might and quickly sprinted toward it.
The monster sensed great danger from the amplified spike rushing toward it, so he decided to simply jump aside. Evan knew that his opponent would do so, so the snow-white scythe blade was already rushing toward the monster's head.
Whoosh.
